Car detailing software for Australian businesses
Quote the full detail from your price book while you're still walking around the car, book the regular's next wash before the buckets are back in the van, and have the invoice paid before the tyre shine's dry. All of it from your phone, all of it on one flat price.
Quotes that itemise the package, the add-ons and the travel
Your detailing packages go on the quote as line items at your prices: the full detail, the engine bay, the pet hair surcharge, the travel if you charge it. Each line is your price times the quantity, so a two-car driveway or a three-seat shampoo is a quantity change, not a calculator session. The client gets a clear written quote they can accept from their phone, and nothing's a surprise when the invoice lands.
Your details and accreditations, on every document
Detailing doesn't carry a trade licence in Australia, so what tells a client you're the professional is the paperwork itself: a proper quote, a proper invoice, your ABN and business details on both. jobmate247 renders your details on every PDF and every share link, and if you hold an accreditation, there's a spot to display the name and number on your documents too. The rules that do matter in this trade are about water: in Queensland the Environmental Protection Act 1994 makes it an offence to let polluted wash water into stormwater drains, councils publish the requirements for mobile cleaning businesses, and permanent disposal to the sewer needs a trade waste permit from your water authority. Know your patch's rules; we'll keep the business side straight.
Fixed prices by vehicle size, off your price book
The trade runs on a menu: mini detail on a sedan, full detail on a 4WD, cut and polish, ceramic top-up. Save every package and every size as items in your price book and a fixed-price quote takes a couple of taps at the boot lid. And when the job needs eyes on the paint first (the correction work, the pre-sale detail, the ceramic coating), build a proper written quote from the same price book, line by line. Fixed prices for the menu, real quotes for the big jobs: both from one list you control.
Regulars, fleet cars and dealer work
The fortnightly maintenance wash, the office car park run, the dealer's pre-sale details: repeat work is where a detailing round gets comfortable. jobmate247's client records handle companies properly: multiple contacts, multiple site addresses, so the fleet manager, the receptionist and the yard all live under one client. Set the regulars up as recurring jobs and they land in your calendar on schedule, each with a draft invoice already raised: send it while the wax is still hazing off.
Invoices that chase themselves
Turn the accepted quote into a GST-ready invoice in a couple of taps. Every invoice carries a share link with your bank details and PayID, so the client can pay the moment they open it. Automatic overdue reminders chase the money so you don't have to make that awkward call.
Book the next one before you leave
The best time to book the next wash is while this one's still beading. Book the return visit from the job, send a calendar invite, and it's locked in before you've left the driveway. When a regular rings up again, their history's all there: what you did, what you charged, which coffee they made you.
Bring your client list with you
Import your clients from a CSV or straight out of Cashflow Manager with your account codes kept intact, and export invoices as a CSV formatted for Xero or MYOB for your bookkeeper.

Frequently asked questions
- Is there mobile detailing software that runs the whole business?
- That's jobmate247: quotes, jobs, scheduling and invoicing in one place, built for Australian businesses. Whether you call it car detailing software or auto detailing software, it's the same day's work: quote it, book it, get paid. Mobile car detailing software, at one flat price.
- How does detailing pricing work in jobmate247?
- Every line on a quote or invoice is your price times the quantity. Fixed package prices by vehicle size ride as saved price book items, add-ons like engine bays and pet hair go on as their own lines, and travel goes on as a line if you charge it. Condition work gets a proper written quote before the buffer comes out.
- Do I need a licence to run a car detailing business in Australia?
- There's no general licence for car detailing in Australia. The rules that matter are about water: in Queensland the Environmental Protection Act 1994 makes it an offence to let polluted wash water enter stormwater drains and waterways, councils publish requirements for mobile cleaning businesses, and ongoing disposal to the sewer needs a trade waste permit from your water authority. Other states run similar rules, so check your council's requirements for your area.
- Isn't car wash software the same thing?
- Different buyer. Car wash software runs fixed sites: bays, queues, point of sale, memberships. Booking platforms run studios where customers self-book off a set menu. If that's your operation, those are the right tools by category. jobmate247 is for the detailer who quotes the job, books it in and invoices it: the one-van operator working driveways, office car parks and dealer yards.
- Does jobmate247 take online bookings from customers or run memberships?
- No, honestly, neither of those. There's no customer self-booking page and no membership or subscription billing. Bookings stay where they already live (your phone and your messages) and jobmate247 keeps everything after that organised: the quote, the job in the calendar, the invoice with a pay link your client can open from a text. If self-service booking off a set menu is the heart of your operation, a booking platform is the right tool: jobmate247 is for the work you quote.
- Can I save my detailing packages as a price book?
- Yes. Save each package at each vehicle size (mini detail: sedan, full detail: 4WD, engine bay, headlight restoration) as price book items with your prices. Quotes and invoices build from them in a couple of taps, and when you put a price up, every new quote uses the new number.
- What does jobmate247 cost?
- A$35 per month flat, GST inclusive. No per-user fees, no limits on jobs, quotes or invoices, and no job credits to run out of halfway through the month.
- Do I need to install a car detailing app?
- No. jobmate247 runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer, so there's nothing to download and nothing to update. If you've been searching for a car detailing app, this works the same way, minus the app store. Add it to your home screen and it opens just like an app.
