Frequently asked questions
How can DetailPilot increase my revenue?
DetailPilot increases revenue in three ways: 24/7 online bookings bring in more clients, advance payments and deposits improve cash flow, and automatic add-ons raise your average order value.
Will my clients pay online?
Yes. Most clients prefer paying online to avoid cash exchanges. Secure Stripe payment reassures clients and guarantees you get paid before the job. You can also take a deposit at booking — for example 30% upfront and 70% on arrival.
How long does it take to set up DetailPilot?
About a minute to add your services and go live. A setup assistant guides you step by step, and you can receive your first booking the same day.
What does DetailPilot cost?
DetailPilot is free to start on the Starter plan (1% fee on payments). Paid plans (Growth, Pro, Business) remove the payment fee and add marketing, review automation, live tracking, and more. Cancel anytime with no commitment.
Does DetailPilot work for mobile detailing?
Yes. DetailPilot automatically calculates travel fees based on distance and adds them to the final price, which is ideal for mobile detailers.
Can I customize my booking page?
Yes. Add your logo, colors, and photos so your booking page reflects your brand and reassures clients about your professionalism.
Are there hidden fees or sales commissions?
Pricing is transparent. Paid plans charge a fixed monthly subscription with no commission on your sales. Standard Stripe payment processing fees still apply.
Is my data secure?
Your data is encrypted, backed up daily, and GDPR compliant, using bank-grade security standards.
