More about your website

Two cars the same size can take very different amounts of work. A page that asks about pet hair, spills and the last clean gives you a better starting point than “How much for a detail?”

Highline’s is a written example. Yours starts with your business.

This is how we build your site

Your questionnaire gives us the services, photos and business details to write and build your site, on your own domain.

Open the Highline Mobile Detail sample ›

A sample business. Highline Mobile Detail is fictional. Its prices, reviews and job stories are examples. We build your site with your business details, photos and genuine customer reviews.

What we build into your website

Your packages show the tasks and the conditions behind the price. The form asks what the customer drives and what they want fixed. For mobile work, it also asks about the location so you can check access before booking.

Tell us which qualifications you’d like customers to see. We can include certifications, licenses and insurance details you provide.

Your packages, vehicle sizes and condition charges replace Highline’s examples. Tell us whether you work mobile, from a shop or both, and what you need from the customer before a visit. Send me the questions ›

Where the job goes after the call comes in

Your Console keeps customer messages and job details together. Try Highline’s sample below. The workflow tools draft texts for you to review, then send from your own phone.

Your domain is registered in your name and billed at cost, about $11 a year.

Your mobile plan and optional voice line

The tools draft the message; you review it and tap to send on your phone. Texts use your carrier plan, with no per-message fee from Plainsmith.

The optional front desk answers calls you forward when you can’t pick up and prepares a text reply. We check forwarding on your number during setup. Its Twilio voice line costs about $1.15 a month plus about a cent a minute, billed to your own account. See provider costs.

Cancellation and refunds

Cancel from your account. Your website comes down and workflows stop at the end of the month or year you paid for.

You have 14 days to request a refund, starting when we send the finished website for review. We return your full website payment, including $400 if you paid annually. Domain registration is nonrefundable; you keep the domain.

Your Console stays open in read-only mode, free, so you can download your contacts, messages and appointments.

Buying the website to host elsewhere

Your domain, words, photos and logo belong to you from the start. The website’s design and code cost $499 less your plan credit to buy.

Monthly: this month’s $40 comes off. Annual: we credit $400 divided by 12 for each unfinished month, including the month you’re in. Your account shows the exact price.

Your files and hosting setup arrive within seven days. You take over hosting, updates and renewals. After a buyout, hosting and workflow service finish with your current billing month. Read the ownership terms.

What your site will know about detailers

We’ll ask about these details so your pages describe the work you actually offer.

Price the car that turns up

A starting price needs a description of the service it buys. Vehicle size helps, but pet hair and neglected interiors can change the work.

The problem to solve

Ask about the main concern and request photos of it. A clear picture of the rear seats can tell you more than a package name.

Confirming the charge

Explain when you inspect the vehicle and agree any extra work. The customer should know that before choosing a date.

Separate dirt from damage

People may ask a detail to repair worn seats or missing paint. Show the result you can offer without promising that every mark disappears.

Interiors

Distinguish cleaning from upholstery repair. Explain how you handle a stain or odor you can’t promise to remove.

Paint

Describe correction and protection separately. A ceramic coating doesn’t make paint scratch-proof or prevent rock chips.

Check the place as well as the car

A driveway, office lot and street space can have different access rules. Say what your setup requires and confirm the location with the customer.

Space and supplies

List whether you bring water and power or need the customer’s. Ask about room to open the doors and permission to work there.

Weather and preparation

Explain how you handle weather changes and what the customer should remove from the car. Tell them if drying time affects when they can drive it.

Show ordinary cars as well as polished paint

The owner of a dog-haired back seat needs to recognize their job in your work.

Comparable photographs

Use before-and-after photos of the same area under similar lighting. Label the service performed.

Repeat visits

Explain your maintenance service and who it suits. A returning customer should be able to find it without reading the full-detail package again.

Edit allowances and how to reach us

From your account, from your phone, in a sentence, and it lands on our phones the second you hit send. The two of us read every message that comes through your account; you meet us at the bottom of this page. We work through edit requests in the order they arrive. Most go up the same day. Five edit requests a month are included, and how much goes into each one is up to you — everything in a single message counts as one, so send them together. A sixth queues for next month, or $10 puts it up now.

What happens when the weather changes your day

An outdoor detail needs a new date, while another customer is waiting to hear what their interior will cost. Keep the appointments and photos together so you can work through the changes.

Prepare messages for affected appointments, then review each new date and tap to send.

Fair questions

Can prices vary by condition as well as vehicle size?
Yes. Show starting prices for a stated service, then explain what can add work and how you confirm the charge. The form can collect condition notes and photos.
What if I work mobile and from a shop?
We can explain which services belong at each location. Ask where the vehicle will be so you can confirm the setup before booking.
Can I offer coating work without overselling it?
Yes. Name the product, preparation and care requirements you actually provide. Keep the warranty’s conditions visible and avoid promises about scratches or damage it doesn’t cover.
What photographs work best?
Show interiors and everyday vehicles as well as polished panels. Before-and-after pairs work best when the lighting and angle let a customer make a fair comparison.
Can search engines and AI tools find my business?
We describe your services and location on the page and in the information search engines read. This helps them understand your business. We can’t promise a ranking, recommendation or number of inquiries.
Is Plainsmith right for a detailing business with 1–3 vans or bays?
Yes, if you still work on the jobs and take the calls yourself. We handle the website, and the included workflow tools help you prepare follow-ups and reminders. Tell us if you need dispatch, payroll or accounting integration so we can check the fit.

Ten to thirty minutes of questions. Then we build.

You answer plain questions about your services, where you detail and how condition affects the price. We read your answers, write the pages and build the site. It publishes only after you’ve reviewed it and told us to publish.

The “we” is Jason Walls and Tadar Puakpaibool. Jason came to software from four trades — drilling, roofing, cabinets, machining — and started Plainsmith from Golden. He is responsible for your website build and custom tools, and handles technical problems when you contact us. Tadar is the marketer: fifteen years of campaigns and launches for brands including Red Robin and Procter & Gamble, and what each page says, top to bottom, is his call. Here’s our story.
