The honest maths

Why £49.97 a month?

Fair question. Here's the answer with numbers in it: one extra booking a month pays for AutoBook. Everything after that is yours.

What it replaces

Three subscriptions, or one

Run a detailing business properly and you end up paying for three tools that don't talk to each other.

01
Bookkeeping software
Quotes, invoices, VAT, who's paid and who hasn't.£20–35 a month on its own.
02
A booking system
Online booking page, deposits, reminders. £25–40 a month, and some take commission on top.
03
A CRM
Client history, follow-ups, the pipeline. £30+ a month for one built for sales teams, not detailers.

That's £75–105 a month before you've polished a bonnet. AutoBook is all three, built for detailing, for £49.97. No commission, ever.

The breakdown

What each part is worth to you

Worked examples at £80 a job — swap in your own prices below.

Deposits before you start
A no-show with no deposit costs you the whole job. Save one wasted Saturday slot a month and that's £80 kept — the app paid for, with change.
Quotes that chase themselves
Most quotes die because nobody followed up. Win back just one forgotten quote a month: £80.
Maintenance plans
One client on a £70 monthly plan is £840 a year, booked without asking. Two clients and you've covered AutoBook for the year — twice over.
Appointment reminders
Clients forget. Reminders go out on their own, so fewer cars just don't turn up.
Unlimited quotes + invoices
Price a job in 2 minutes, send it to their WhatsApp, and the invoice writes itself when the job's done. That admin hour at 10pm — gone.
Your own booking page
autobook.pro/your-shop takes enquiries while your hands are full of clay bar. Every job it catches is one you'd have missed.
Real usage, real accounts

What busy detailers actually do with it

55
jobs in 10 days
One mobile detailer ran 55 jobs and over £3,200 of work through AutoBook in his first 10 days.
19
clients on night one
Another loaded 19 clients and 12 bookings the same evening he signed up — his whole book, in before bed.
33
jobs in 3 weeks
A valeting studio put 33 jobs through it in their first three weeks. Nobody's quoting from memory any more.
Your potential

You only need to bring back 2 clients a month to cover AutoBook.

Detailing's repeat-business problem isn't that customers don't come back — it's that nobody asks them to. Drag the sliders. See what re-asking is worth.

And if you're not sure

Start free. Genuinely free.

The free plan does 3 quotes a month, 5 booked jobs a month and 10 clients — forever, no card. That's enough to run real work through it and see for yourself. And if you run out of free, that's the tell: you're exactly the business that makes the £49.97 back.
