For mobile and shop detailers

Turn one-time car cleans into repeat customers

Simple loyalty that fits how you already finish a job: customers scan a QR, they earn visits or rewards, and you can point them to Google reviews and your socials from the same scan.

  • · Customers scan your QR when the work is done
  • · They earn visits or rewards you define
  • · Optional: review link and social profiles on the same card

No hardware. Works with a printed stand or your phone on the lot.

Clean car in a professional detailing setup

How it works

Four steps. Same habit after every job.

  1. 1

    Customer scans your QR

    At the shop counter, in the driveway, or from your phone before they leave.

  2. 2

    They earn a visit or reward

    You set the rules: points per wash, stamps toward a free interior, whatever matches your menu.

  3. 3

    You see who keeps coming back

    History lives in one place instead of guessing from memory or DMs.

  4. 4

    They can leave a review or follow you

    Same scan flow. No extra speech if you do not want one.

Mobile or on-location car detailing

Why it works for car detailers

Detailing is not a daily habit for most people. Without a light nudge, they drift to whoever is convenient next time. High-ticket work (coating, full correction) pays better when clients trust you and come back for maintenance.

Repeat bookings after washes or seasonal cleans

Spring pollen, winter salt, road trip grime: give them a reason to book the next round with you.

Reward full details and packages

Bigger jobs deserve clearer perks: credit toward maintenance, interior add-on, or a set dollar amount off the next service.

Easy upsells

Interior refresh after an exterior wash, wax or sealant step-ups, polish or coating conversations feel natural when loyalty already frames the relationship.

Build habits (monthly or quarterly)

A simple rhythm (“every 6 weeks” or “before road trip season”) pairs well with stamps or points they can see on their phone.

Real use cases

Pick one rule your team can explain in one sentence.

5 washes → 1 free interior clean

Keeps exterior clients moving up your menu without giving a full detail every time.

3 full details → $50 off next service

Rewards your best tickets and brings them back for maintenance or the next big job.

Monthly detail plan: bonus rewards

Plan members hit a higher tier or get an extra stamp so the subscription feels tangible.

Refer a friend → both get a discount

Word of mouth is huge in detailing. Clear rules beat vague “tell your friends.”

Illustrative US retail-style numbers for planning menus and training staff. Your city, mobile vs shop, and how dirty the car is will swing these a lot. Replace with your real prices in your POS or menu.

Service Example range What usually moves the price
Maintenance exterior wash (sedan) $35 – $75 SUV or truck add $15–$35. Heavy mud or decon work adds time.
Maintenance exterior (large SUV / truck) $55 – $110 Lifted trucks, crew cabs, and bed cleaning often sit at the top of the band.
Interior only (vacuum, wipe down, glass) $85 – $195 Pet hair, sand, child seats, and heavy stains push you up or become a separate line item.
Full detail (exterior wash + interior, dressings, no paint correction) $225 – $550 Size, neglected interiors, and “first detail in years” jobs eat hours.
Wax or spray sealant (add-on or standalone) $65 – $175 Prep level and product tier (consumer vs pro-grade) matter more than the bottle cost.
Single-step polish (light swirls / gloss refresh) $200 – $500 Soft clear coat, larger panels, and correction expectations change time on the polisher.
Ceramic coating (single vehicle, incl. prep) $600 – $2,000+ Hours of prep, paint state, and whether you include wheels or glass. Exotics and oversize SUVs often exceed this band.
Headlight restoration (pair) $75 – $185 Severe yellowing or moisture inside the housing is a different conversation than light haze.

Upsell ideas

  • · Add wax or sealant right after a wash while the paint is clean.
  • · Bundle interior deep clean with exterior for one clear package price.
  • · Seasonal packs: spring pollen reset, winter salt prep, pre-trip shine.
  • · After coating, sell maintenance washes on a rhythm they can book ahead.

Repeat customer strategy

  • · Encourage a return after a set number of weeks, not only when they remember.
  • · Prefer incentives they earn (free add-on, package credit) over random % off codes that train people to wait for a sale.
  • · Use loyalty as the default story: “Scan every time so nothing gets lost.”

Quick math: reward cost

Rough effective discount when someone earns a fixed reward after N visits.

Offer prepaid detailing packages

Sell bundles (for example 5 washes or 3 full details). Track how many uses are left in the same app flow as loyalty. Combine packs with stamps or points so package buyers still feel like regulars.

5 exterior washes for $100

Cash upfront, each visit deducted when they scan out.

3 full details package

Great for clients who book big jobs on a schedule.

Membership-style plans

Monthly exterior maintenance plus loyalty bonus on top.

Promote reviews and socials

One QR scan can open your loyalty card and also link to Google reviews, Instagram, TikTok, or your site. Customers who just watched you finish are the easiest ask.

It builds trust for the next neighbor or coworker they send your way.

Mobile and on-the-go friendly

  • · Built for mobile detailers who do not have a front desk.
  • · Staff phone or printed QR on a small stand both work.
  • · No extra hardware required to start.
