Built for mobile auto detailers & mechanics
Billing in the driveway. Send a professional invoice before you pack your equipment.

No credit card required. Free forever for unlimited invoices.
Sound familiar?
The billing problems mobile detailers actually face.
📱
No way to invoice professionally on-site
You finish the detail, the car looks incredible, the client is thrilled - and then you ask them to Venmo you or you tell them you'll email an invoice later. The professional impression you just made takes a hit.
💳
Clients want to pay by card but you don't have a clean system
Some clients pay cash. Some Venmo. Some ask if you take credit cards. You're managing four payment methods with no unified record of what came in.
🧾
Vague receipts cause confusion and disputes
"Detail - $250" tells the client nothing about what they paid for. Detailed line items (wash, clay bar, polish, ceramic coat, interior vacuum) justify your price and prevent disputes.
🗂️
No history of what you did for repeat clients
You have clients who book monthly. You remember doing a paint correction last time - but can you prove it? Client history lives in text messages and memory.
📊
Outstanding invoices pile up with no clear view
Running 6-10 jobs a week. Which clients have paid? Which are overdue? You don't know without manually tracking through Venmo history or texts.
🔁
Monthly detail packages are invoiced manually every cycle
You have clients on monthly maintenance packages. Every month, you're texting them the same amount again and hoping they pay promptly.
The fix
Professional invoicing from your phone. Get paid before you leave the driveway.
📱
Invoice on-site in under 2 minutes from your phone
Create a professional invoice on your phone while the client is still admiring the result. Send the payment link via text before you load your equipment. The client pays while they're still impressed.
💳
Clients pay by card or ACH from the invoice link
Every invoice includes a Stripe payment link. Client taps the link, pays by card. You get notified. No cash, no Venmo chasing, no manual reconciliation.
🧾
Itemized invoices that justify your pricing
Add separate line items for every service - wash, clay bar, cut and polish, ceramic coating, interior detail, engine bay, odor treatment. Clients see exactly what they paid for. No disputes.
🗂️
Complete client service history in one dashboard
Every job you've done for a client is in their record - what services were performed, when, and what was charged. Pull it up before every appointment.
📊
See every outstanding invoice at a glance
Your dashboard shows every job - paid, outstanding, overdue - across all clients at once. No Venmo archaeology, no text thread hunting.
