The Auto Detailing Invoice App Built for Mobile Vans & Studios

Why Mobile Auto Detailers Need a Dedicated Field Invoicing App

Mobile detailers and paint correction specialists need clean, premium invoices that reflect high-end craftsmanship without complicated monthly software fees.

• Tiered detailing package pricing: Save preset packages (Bronze Wash, Interior Deep Clean, Full Ceramic) with one-tap selection.
• Variable add-ons (pet hair, odor bombs, engine bays): Add surcharge line items easily when inspecting vehicle condition in the customer's driveway.
• Ceramic warranty documentation: Document ceramic coating warranties (3-year, 5-year) and annual maintenance inspection terms directly on the receipt.
• Immediate payment before handover: Send an itemized digital receipt on WhatsApp right as you hand the keys back to the client.
