Everything you need to run your car wash business

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

Wash Bay Slot Control (Walk-ins Included)

Set how many cars you can physically handle per bay per hour, then leave space for walk-ins without wrecking the diary. Perfect for drive-through, hand wash bays, and mixed days where bookings and queue traffic both matter.

Valet Menus with Add-Ons That Actually Fit

Offer clear packages like mini valet, full valet, interior only, exterior only, and detailing, with add-ons such as pet hair removal, seat shampoo, clay bar, engine bay clean, and odour treatment — each with its own time and price.

Deposits for High-Value Detailing Slots

Take deposits on full valets and detailing so you’re not left with a dead bay when someone doesn’t show. Customers can pay by card at booking, and you can set different deposit rules for different services.

Automatic Reminders with Arrival Instructions

Send texts or emails that reduce the ‘where do I go?’ confusion: what time to arrive, how long it’ll take, what to remove from the boot, and whether you need keys. Cuts down missed appointments and on-the-day back-and-forth.

Mobile Route Planning and Access Notes

For mobile car wash and fleet visits, capture postcode, parking details, water/electric access, and gate codes. Keep jobs grouped by area so you’re not zig-zagging across town, and your team isn’t guessing where the customer is.

Team Diary for Multiple Bays and Valeters

Assign bookings to specific bays or staff, so you can run two valeters side-by-side or keep a detailer free for longer jobs. You’ll see who’s on shift, what’s booked, and where the bottlenecks are before they happen.

The challenges every car wash faces

Walk-ins vs Pre-Booked Slots

On busy days you’re juggling a queue on site and customers who’ve booked online and expect to be seen on time. If you squeeze in “quick washes” you risk pushing valets back, then the afternoon turns into apologies, refunds, and stress for the team.

Job Times Change Once You See the Car

A “mini valet” can turn into a deep clean when you find dog hair, sick, tar spots, or stained seats. Without a system that handles realistic durations and add-ons, you either underprice, run late, or end up having awkward conversations at the counter.

No-Shows and Last-Minute Cancellations

Valets and detailing slots are expensive time to lose — especially when you’ve blocked out a bay, a valet tech, and products. When customers don’t turn up (or cancel 10 minutes before), you can’t always fill the gap with walk-ins.

Mobile Jobs: Access, Travel, and ‘Where Are You?’ Calls

Mobile car cleaning means travel time, parking, gated access, and customers who forget they booked. If you can’t share ETAs, confirm access notes, and keep the day routed sensibly, you burn time driving and answering the phone with wet hands.

Built for real car wash workflows

A typical day starts with checking what’s booked versus what you can realistically get through with the bays and staff you’ve got in. You’ll have a couple of full valets booked in first thing, a mobile wash mid-morning, and then the lunchtime rush when people want a quick exterior clean while they shop. The problems usually kick off when a valet arrives with a car that’s worse than expected, or a...

Quick Setup

Get started in 3 simple steps

Your car wash business accepting bookings in under 5 minutes

1

List Your Wash, Valet, and Detailing Packages

Add services like exterior wash, wash & wax, mini valet, full valet, interior deep clean, and detailing packages. Include common add-ons (pet hair, seat shampoo, tar removal, clay bar, odour treatment) with realistic time and pricing.

2

Set Bay Capacity, Staff Shifts, and Mobile Areas

Tell the system how many bays you run, which services can be done in which bay, and who’s on shift. If you do mobile car wash, set your coverage postcodes and build in travel buffers so you’re not booking impossible back-to-back jobs.

3

Choose Deposits, Reminders, and What Customers Must Confirm

Decide where you want deposits (typically full valets and detailing), then set automated reminders. Add booking questions like vehicle size, heavy soiling, pet hair, and access/parking notes so you’re not guessing on the day.

FAQ

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

How do I handle urgent, same-day car cleaning requests without wrecking the diary?

You can keep specific gaps for same-day jobs, or limit last-minute bookings to certain services like an exterior wash. When the day fills up, the system simply stops offering slots you can’t realistically honour. That means fewer awkward calls and fewer customers turning up expecting miracles.

Can I offer different job types like mini valet, full valet, and detailing with different timings?

Yes — each service has its own duration, buffer time, and price, so a full valet doesn’t get booked into a “quick wash” slot. You can also set different rules for vehicle sizes (small car vs SUV/7-seater). It keeps the schedule realistic, especially when you’ve got limited bays.

When should I take payment for a valet or detailing job?

Most UK valeting businesses take a deposit for longer jobs and take the balance on completion. You can set deposits by service so a mini valet might be pay-on-the-day, while a full valet or detail requires a card deposit to secure the slot. It’s a practical way to reduce no-shows without constant chasing.

How does the system help with seasonal spikes like winter road salt or spring pollen?

When demand jumps, you can tighten availability, increase buffer time, or restrict certain long services to specific days. Because customers can self-book, you’re not buried in calls when it’s busy. You also get fewer ‘can you fit me in now?’ conversations because availability is clear.

We’ve got multiple valeters and two bays — can bookings be assigned properly?

Yes, you can run separate diaries for staff and bays, and control what can be booked at the same time. That way you don’t accidentally book two full valets into one bay, or book a detailer on a job when they’re meant to be on paint correction. It’s built for real-world teams, not one-person calendars.

How do I improve quote-to-booking for detailing and bigger jobs?

Instead of sending a vague price over WhatsApp, you can send a proper booking link with the package, add-ons, and deposit clearly shown. Customers can choose a slot there and then while they’re still interested. It cuts down the ‘I’ll get back to you’ time-wasters.

Can I automate customer messages like arrival instructions and what to remove from the car?

Yes — confirmations and reminders can include practical notes like removing valuables, emptying the boot, and arriving on time for the slot. For mobile jobs, you can ask for parking/access details and include an ETA-style message. It reduces delays caused by missing keys, blocked driveways, or customers not being ready.

What if I need flexible pricing for heavily soiled cars, SUVs, or pet hair removal?

You can price by vehicle type and offer add-ons for common extras like pet hair, sand, or seat shampoo. You can also add booking questions so customers declare the condition up front, which helps you quote more accurately. That means fewer on-the-spot price arguments and more consistent margins.

Why iBookFast for your car wash business?

Car wash customers have changed. They’ll happily pay for a proper valet or a ceramic-style protection package, but they want certainty: a clear price, a realistic time on site, and a booking confirmation that doesn’t rely on someone spotting a Facebook message while they’re rinsing a wheel arch. If you’re still taking bookings by phone and DMs, you’re probably losing decent jobs to the place down...
