Refined Rides Auto Detailing
A website and online booking system for a mobile auto detailer — a two-minute booking flow with live pricing, real availability and card details handled by Stripe.
What they needed.
Mobile detailing is a quote-first business. The price depends on the vehicle, its size, the state it's in and where it's parked, so a booking tends to start as a string of messages before anyone can name a price or a time. Refined Rides details vehicles at the customer's door across Ottawa and Lanark County, and needed two things from a website: to look as careful as the work, and to take a booking from first click to confirmed appointment without the back-and-forth.
A site that takes the booking itself
We designed and built Refined Rides a marketing site with a full booking system behind it. A customer describes the vehicle, picks a service, sees the price build up as they go and chooses a real open time slot — in about two minutes, on a phone. The owner gets a complete request instead of a vague enquiry.
From a dirty car to a confirmed appointment
Five steps for the customer, one decision for the owner.
The customer describes the vehicle
Year, make, model and size, then the condition it's in — the details a detailer would otherwise have to ask for by text.
They pick a service and add-ons
The price breakdown updates live as they choose, so the number on the summary is never a surprise.
They choose where and when
The time-slot picker reads real availability from the owner's calendar, so customers can only pick times that are actually open.
Card details go through Stripe
Stripe handles the card at booking. Nothing is charged until the customer has approved the price.
The owner confirms, adjusts or declines
Each request can be confirmed as-is, sent back with an adjusted quote for the customer to accept from a link, or declined — and the customer is emailed either way.
Run from tools the owner already uses
A one-person detailing business doesn't need another dashboard to learn, so the system is wired into what was already there.
Built to show the work
Detailing sells on results, so the site puts them where a visitor can see them.
Bookings without the back-and-forth
Refined Rides now has a site that looks like the standard of its work and does the booking admin on its own: customers get a price and a real time slot in about two minutes, and the owner gets requests that are ready to confirm.
The stack.
