Everything you need to run your car paint business

Packed with powerful tools to grow your revenue, streamline your bookings, and boost client retention.

Booth Slot Booking (with bake & cool-down time)

Set services by real-world timing: prep, spray, bake, cool-down, de-mask, de-nib and polish. The system blocks the right amount of booth time so you don’t end up squeezing a respray between two “quick” jobs.

Estimate-First Bookings for Unknown Damage

Let customers book an inspection slot for scuffs, dents and corrosion rather than forcing a fixed price. Capture photos, paint code, and panel list upfront, then convert the estimate into a confirmed job without re-entering details.

Deposits for Resprays, Colour Changes & Insurance Excess

Take deposits at booking to cover materials and protect your diary. Ideal for full resprays, colour changes, kit fitment paint, or when a customer’s “definitely coming” has let you down before.

Automated Updates Customers Actually Care About

Send timed messages for drop-off, strip-down approval, parts delays, and collection windows. Fewer interruptions while you’re in the booth, and fewer customers turning up early expecting the car to be ready.

Overrun Buffers for Flatting, Polishing & Reworks

Add buffers for jobs likely to run on: orange peel correction, lacquer sink-back, dust nibs, or panel re-do. Protect the rest of the day and stop the domino effect of late collections and angry calls.

Assign Jobs to Techs and Track What’s on the Floor

Split work across the team: prepper, painter, polisher, and front desk. Everyone sees what’s booked, what’s waiting for approval, and what’s due for collection, so cars don’t sit half-finished because a note got missed.

The challenges every car paint faces

Booth time is the bottleneck

You can shuffle prep and strip work around, but the spray booth and bake cycle dictate the day. One late start, a recoat, or a de-nib and polish that runs long can knock every booking out. You need booking that protects booth slots, not just a calendar.

Quotes change once you see the damage properly

Photos don’t show cracked lacquer, previous filler, corrosion creeping under a chip, or a bumper that’s been repaired twice already. Customers want a price upfront, then get defensive when the job turns into plastic weld, prime, and blend. A booking system has to handle estimates and revisions properly.

Colour matching and blending aren’t “one-size fits all”

Pearls, tri-coats and faded panels mean you’re not just painting a part — you’re blending into adjacent panels and sometimes doing a tint. That changes time, materials and booth usage. If customers can book “touch-up” like it’s a haircut, you’ll be the one eating the extra work.

Payment and paperwork can drag on

Private customers want to pay on collection, insurers want invoices and updates, and trade work might be 30 days. Meanwhile, materials aren’t cheap and you’re paying for paint, lacquer, consumables and masking every day. Deposits, staged payments, and clear job notes reduce awkward conversations at handover.

Built for real car paint workflows

A normal day in a paint shop starts before the first customer arrives. You’re checking what’s in the booth, what’s curing, and what needs de-mask and polish before collection. Then the phone starts: someone wants a quick quote for a bumper corner, another wants a full colour change “next week”, and an insurer is asking for progress photos. With the booking system, the day begins with a clear view...

What we help with

  • Bumper scuffs booked as “quick jobs” that actually need blend time
  • Customers calling while you’re suited up spraying and can’t answer
  • Double-booking the booth because prep time wasn’t accounted for
  • Quotes lost in WhatsApp threads, then the customer books elsewhere
  • Awkward handovers when the customer expects to pay less at collection

Quick Setup

Get started in 3 simple steps

Your car paint business accepting bookings in under 5 minutes

1

List Your Real Services (and what they actually involve)

Add smart repair estimates, bumper resprays, panel resprays, blend work, full resprays, and colour changes. Set realistic timings for prep, spray, bake and polish so the system blocks the booth properly instead of guessing.

2

Set Booking Rules for Deposits, Drop-Off and Collection

Choose which jobs require a deposit (resprays, colour changes, kit paint) and set your drop-off/collection windows. Add notes like “clean vehicle please” and “remove child seats/valuables” to reduce delays on the day.

3

Start Taking Estimate Requests with Photos and Details

Share your booking link on Google Business Profile, Facebook and your website. Customers can upload photos, enter reg and basic info, and book an inspection slot that you can convert into a confirmed job once you’ve seen the car.

FAQ

Questions? Answers.

Everything you need to know about our car paint booking system.

Try it free
Can I handle urgent paint jobs, like a dealership needing a car turned around tomorrow?

Yes. You can keep specific “rush” slots for smart repairs or single-panel work and stop customers booking them for full resprays. If a job needs the booth, you can limit urgent bookings to times that won’t clash with bake cycles and planned work. You stay in control of what counts as urgent.

What job types does this work best for: smart repairs, panel resprays, or full resprays?

It’s built for the mix most UK paint shops deal with: bumper corners, single panels, blend work, machine polish after paint, and full resprays/colour changes. You can set each service with different durations and rules. For unknown damage, you can offer an estimate appointment instead of a fixed-price booking.

When do customers pay — at booking, drop-off, or collection?

You decide per service. Many shops take a deposit for resprays, colour changes and larger jobs to cover materials, then take the balance on collection. For quick cosmetic work, you can take payment on completion. The system supports deposits so you’re not out of pocket if someone disappears.

Does it help during busy periods like winter bumps and pre-summer tidy-ups?

Yes, because you can control availability and protect booth time when demand spikes. During winter, you can prioritise bumpers and small repairs without letting them overrun your week. In spring/summer, you can schedule longer jobs like colour changes with proper buffers for flatting and polishing.

Can I manage multiple techs — prepper, painter, and polisher — without confusion?

You can assign bookings to team members and see what’s booked, in progress and due for collection. That helps stop cars sitting around waiting because a handover note was missed. It’s also useful when someone’s off and you need to reassign work quickly.

How does it improve quote-to-booking conversion for people shopping around?

Instead of leaving a quote buried in messages, you can send a clear estimate with an “approve and book” step. Customers can choose a slot and pay a deposit where required, which turns interest into commitment. It also keeps all photos, notes and panel details with the booking.

Can customers upload photos and can I send progress updates without constant calls?

Yes. Customers can send photos with their request, which helps you triage whether it’s an estimate appointment or a straightforward job. You can also send automated updates for drop-off, authorisation, and collection windows. That cuts down on interruption while you’re prepping or spraying.

Is pricing flexible for tricky colours, extra prep, or blend work?

Yes. You can set base prices for common jobs and add options for things like blend into adjacent panels, additional prep, or plastic repair. For pearls/tri-coats or unknown damage, you can push customers towards an estimate slot so you can price properly after inspection. That reduces underquoting and awkward conversations later.

Why iBookFast for your car paint business?

In UK car paint, the work is rarely as simple as the customer thinks. They see a scratch; you see feather-edge, plastic repair, adhesion promoter, prime, base, lacquer, then flat and polish. The difference between a tidy job and a comeback is time — and time is exactly what gets destroyed by messy booking. Most paint businesses still run on a mix of a wall diary, phone calls, and WhatsApp. It wor...
