How to start a car detailing business.
The steps marked “Your AI team does this” are the ones SoGood builds from your brief. The rest are yours, and they come first.
01
Go mobile or work from a shop
Mobile detailing means driving to customers with your own water, power and supplies, so you can start without a lease. A shop or rented bay lets you take on bigger jobs out of the weather. Many detailers start mobile.
02
Build clear packages
Offer a few packages, like an interior detail, an exterior wash and wax, and a full detail, with add-ons such as pet hair removal, headlight restoration or paint correction. Price by package and vehicle size, and practice on your own cars first.
03
Register, insure and stock up
Register your business and get insurance that covers damage to customers' vehicles. Check what your city or state requires, including rules on water runoff for mobile work. Buy quality products and tools as your packages call for them.
04
Get a brand that looks premium
Your AI team does this
Your AI team suggests names, designs a logo and builds a brand kit for your van, shirts and quotes, so customers trust you with their car.
05
Put up a website that books details

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to start a car detailing business?[ + ][ − ]
Mobile detailing keeps costs down: products, tools, a water and power setup, insurance and registration. A shop adds rent and bigger equipment. SoGood is free to start. You upgrade to Pro only when you want the full website on your own domain and ads.
Is mobile detailing better than a shop?[ + ][ − ]
Mobile is easier to start and customers like the convenience. A shop handles bigger jobs and bad weather better. Starting mobile lets you build a client list before taking on rent.
How do I get car detailing customers?[ + ][ − ]
Show your results everywhere: before-and-after photos on your website, social pages and local ads. Offer regular maintenance plans to customers you've already detailed, and ask each one for a review.
Am I still in charge?[ + ][ − ]
Always. Your team checks in before anything ships. You say yes or no, and they take it from there.
How much does SoGood cost?[ + ][ − ]
Free to start, with enough to test an idea. Pro is $49/month when you're ready, with no long-term contract.
How fast can I launch?[ + ][ − ]
Fast, when you’ve answered enough for your team to build. Of the founders whose site went live, half were live within about 20 minutes of signing up and nine in ten inside a day. Payments and a custom domain need a few steps only you can do.
Can I cancel anytime?[ + ][ − ]
Yes. Plans are month-to-month. You keep everything that’s already shipped — your site, your assets, your data, your accounts.
Start free with your first business case and a draft landing page. Pro adds a full website on your own domain, a brand kit, SEO, payments, ad campaigns and 1,225 credits each month.
Credits cover AI usage; ad spend is billed separately.
