Can I require deposits to prevent no-shows?
Yes — you set the deposit amount per service type (e.g. $50 flat or 25% of the job price). Clients pay at booking. If they cancel inside your window, you keep it. No-show rate drops to near zero.
How does the route optimization work?
When a client books, the system looks at your existing jobs for that day and places the new job in the nearest available zone. Over time, your calendar fills by neighborhood — no more zigzagging. You can also set your preferred zones by day of the week.
Can I add a second van without losing control?
That's exactly what the Small Fleet plan is built for. Each van gets its own route, its own schedule, and its own job list. You see everything in a single fleet dashboard. Nobody texts you asking what's next.
Can I sell monthly maintenance memberships?
Yes — on the Small Fleet plan and above. Set up any recurring structure (e.g. one exterior wash per month for $89, or a quarterly full detail plan). Clients sign up once, auto-bill every month. You can see all active memberships and upcoming renewals in one view.
How does review automation work?
When you mark a job complete, AutoDetailingOS waits one hour and sends a review request via text to the client. The message links directly to your Google Business profile. No manual asks, no awkward moments at the driveway.
How long does setup take?
Most solo operators import their client list, set up their services and deposit rules, and take their first AutoDetailingOS booking within the same afternoon they sign up.
