Leads are half the job. We help you close them.

Every client gets our sales training: scripts for calling and texting leads, plus answers to the objections you hear every week. Here are three of them.

When it's the price

Customer

That's more than I wanted to spend.

You

Totally fair. Most people are comparing a full detail to a $15 car wash, and those aren't the same thing. We deep clean every surface and protect the paint so it stays clean longer. Want to start with the interior this week and do the outside next time?

When they want to think about it

Customer

Let me think about it.

You

For sure. Is it the price or the timing you want to think over? If it's timing, I can hold Thursday or Saturday for you so you don't lose the spot. The promo price is only good through Sunday.

When they'd rather do it themselves

Customer

I'll just wash it myself.

You

Washing it yourself is great for upkeep. A detail is the stuff a driveway wash can't do: pulling stains out of the seats, getting the grime out of the paint and sealing it so your washes actually last. Want me to send a couple before and afters from this week?

From first call to booked jobs in three steps.

  1. Quick call

    We learn your prices, your area and which jobs you want more of. Then we map out your first campaign.

  2. You film

    We send you a script and a shot list. You film on your phone during jobs you're already doing.

  3. We launch and coach

    We edit and launch the ads, make changes every week based on what's booking, and train you to close the leads.

Quick answers about Facebook ads for detailers.

Are Facebook ads worth it for a detailing business?

Yes, when the ads are built to get leads and you follow up fast. Our Labor Day promo for a detailer brought in 156 leads at $6.38 each, and 65% of them booked a job. Ads that work show real before and afters, make one clear offer and make it easy to send a name and number.

How much should a detailer spend on Facebook ads?

Start with a budget you can keep running for at least a month, then put more behind the ads that book. For reference, the Labor Day promo spent $994.51 and brought in 156 leads. We recommend a budget for your area on your free ad plan call. Your ad money goes straight to Meta, not to us.

What is a good cost per lead for car detailing?

It depends on your area and your offer, but what matters most is what each booked job costs you. Our Labor Day promo came in at $6.38 per lead, and with 65% of leads booking, each booked job cost about $9.85 in ads.

How do I get more car detailing customers?

Show your best work where people already scroll, make one clear offer and answer leads fast. For most detailers that means Facebook and Instagram ads with real before and after videos, a simple lead form and a text back within minutes. Good reviews and a strong Google Business Profile help too.

How do detailers get clients in the winter?

Sell protection before the cold hits and interior cleanups during it. Our Green Bay ad offered ceramic coating to book customers before the first snow.

Do I have to film anything?

Yes, but it's easy. We send you a script and a shot list, and you film on your phone during normal jobs. We handle all the editing.

Is there a contract?

No. It's month to month. Stay because it's working, not because you signed something.

Do I keep my ad account?

Yes. Your ads run in your own Meta ad account and you add us as a partner. If you ever leave, the account and everything in it stays with you.

What if the ads don't work?

We change them. Every week we look at what's booking and cut what isn't. And since it's month to month, you're never stuck paying for something that isn't working.
