Auto detailing (mobile) software
DispatchMind runs a auto detailing (mobile) company from one place: calls and leads in, jobs on the schedule, the work on your team’s phones, then the invoice. Pick Auto detailing (mobile) when you sign up and it’s set up for your trade from the first screen. You can change any of it later.
A mobile detailer's office is the van. You book from your phone, drive to the customer, and spend hours on one car or a short time each on a whole fleet. DispatchMind takes the bookings, puts the day's cars in driving order and gets you paid without stopping to write anything down.
A typical auto detailing (mobile) job in DispatchMind
- A customer books a Full detail on your online booking page and notes it's a black SUV with dog hair.
- The job lands on your route for that day, in driving order with your other stops.
- You tap on my way so the customer knows to leave the keys out, then get to work in the driveway.
- You snap before and after photos and offer a Ceramic coating, which goes on a new estimate she approves.
- She pays by card on your phone, and the coating job gets booked for next week.
What auto detailing (mobile) owners tell us slows them down
Booking by text all day
Answering every text while you're buffing a hood kills your day. Your online booking page lets customers pick a time, and Nellie can answer the phone and book when your hands are full. Every booking lands on the calendar.
Fleet accounts that need a schedule
Dealers and delivery companies want their vehicles washed on a regular cycle. Service plans weekly, every two weeks or monthly create the Fleet wash visits ahead of time. Skip one when the lot is empty.
Remembering every car
Repeat customers expect you to know their car and what you did last time. Custom job fields can hold make, model and color, and the customer page shows every past detail. Photos stay on each job.

Nellie knows the trade
Nellie is the assistant built into DispatchMind. On a auto detailing (mobile) account she knows how your customers talk and what to ask:
- Which vehicle and what service?
- Will there be water and power where it’s parked?
- Best time window and the address?
What she treats as urgent: A fleet vehicle needed back on the road the same day; Weather moves the visit: tell the customer early.
What she never does: Never quote a price the company hasn’t set in its price book; Never promise what the tech will find before the visit.
Everything else
- Jobs move through four plain steps: Submitted, In progress, Pending, Done pending approval. Your trade’s own steps are color tags you can sort by.
- Estimates and invoices from your price book.
- A tech app for your team, with what each person may see set by you.
- Reports and commissions worked out from your own jobs.
- Bring your customers and jobs over from the system you use now.
