Bookings calendar
Jobs by bay and time with customer and vehicle.
Auto detailing booking software with deposits
Ceramic coatings, paint correction and full details take hours and the right person. Book the bay, take a deposit, assign the detailer, and collect the balance when the keys go back.
Detailing bookings: the short answer
Auto detailing booking software schedules longer jobs into a bay and a time slot, records the vehicle and the service, takes a deposit to hold the slot and collects the balance on completion. GetCarWashPOS uses bookings with service staff, so each job has a detailer, a time and a running bill.
How detailing bookings works, step by step
The same order the software asks for it.
-
Book the job
Customer, vehicle, service, bay and time. Booked by phone, WhatsApp or at the counter.
-
Take the deposit
Record the deposit as a partial payment; it shows on the job.
-
Assign the detailer
Service staff on the booking; their commission is tracked.
-
Finish and collect
Add extras found on the day, take the balance, hand back the keys.
Mobile detailers
Detailing on the customer's driveway or in a basement car park in Dubai? The POS runs on a phone: book the job, take the deposit, collect the balance on site with your processor's card reader.

What's in the bay
Deposits
Partial payments that carry to the final bill.
Detailer assignment
Service staff per job, commission per service.
Vehicle history
Previous jobs, coatings and notes per vehicle.
Reminders
Booking confirmations by email; SMS through your messaging provider.
Online requests
Customers request a slot from your website.
What it won't do (so you can plan for it)
- SMS reminders need a messaging provider (or the GHL snapshot in the bundle).
- Online booking with live availability is a request form on the managed website; the auto-generated store sells products and gift cards, not time slots.
Detailing bookings: questions
How do I take deposits for detailing jobs?
Record the deposit as a partial payment on the booking. When the job is finished, the POS deducts it and asks only for the balance.
Can customers book online?
Customers can request a time through your website's booking form; you confirm the slot in the POS. Live self-booking with availability needs the managed website or the GHL snapshot in the bundle.
Can I assign a detailer to each job?
Yes. Each booking carries the service staff member, which also drives their commission report.
Does it remind customers before the appointment?
Email confirmations come from the POS. SMS and WhatsApp reminders go through your messaging provider or the GHL car wash snapshot.
Can I use it for a mobile detailing business?
Yes. It runs on a phone browser, and card payments use your processor's mobile reader.
Is detailing included in Bay?
Yes. Bookings, deposits and staff are in every plan; Bay ($39/mo) is the usual choice for a detail-only shop.
Can I keep notes and photos per vehicle?
Notes per customer and per job are kept with the history. Before/after photos can be attached as documents to the sale.
What about warranties on coatings?
Record the coating, date and warranty terms in the job notes; they stay on the vehicle's history for the next visit.
