The strategy in one line

Everything we build does one of two jobs: get more cars in the bay, or earn more per car.

We're starting with the foundation and your existing customer list, because that's the fastest money and it costs nothing in ad spend. Ads come once the system underneath is airtight, so every click lands somewhere that actually books.

How it all connects

Your customer journey, automated end to end

A lead comes in, gets handled instantly, books, gets reminded, and the moment the job's done it asks for the review and sends the invoice. You stay in the truck — the system does the front desk.

📲

Lead comes in

Website form, phone call, or Google ad → lands in your pipeline and gets an instant text back with a booking link.

📅

Books on your calendar

Picks a service and a time. The booking is tied to the right product + price by vehicle size.

🔔

Reminders go out

Automatic text / call / email at 24 hours and a couple hours before, so they know you're coming.

🚗

You arrive → "Onsite"

You flip the job to Onsite and it auto-texts the client "he's here."

✅

Job done → "Finished"

Marks complete, sends the invoice, and ~30 minutes later asks for a Google review — only if they haven't left one yet.

💸

Tracked as revenue

Every job runs through Opportunities so you see real revenue per car, not guesses.

🔄

Quiet customers come back

Anyone who goes cold drops into a reactivation list we hit with a seasonal special.

One thing to decide together

How do you want booking to work?

The end goal is your customers booking themselves online — you send a link, they pick a service and a time, it lands on your calendar. But for right now you might want to be the one putting jobs on the calendar while you get a feel for it. Both work, and we can switch whenever you're ready. Which do you want to start with?

🅰 Customers book themselves

We give you a booking link for your website, texts, and Google. They pick a service + time and it auto-lands on your calendar with all the reminders running.

🅱 You book them, for now

You put jobs on the calendar as calls and texts come in. Same reminders, invoicing, and review requests still fire — you just keep your hand on the schedule. We flip on self-booking whenever you say go.

Tell us which to start with (or both) and we'll build the calendar that way.

Your homework

5 quick things from you to keep us moving

None of these are heavy — knock them out when you get a minute and we keep building.

3Google Business Profile

Add us as a manager so we can wire up your reviews and keep it posting.

4Accept your invites
