Free Mobile Detailing Swipe Pack · Booking · Upsell · Weather

Six owner-approved scripts for mobile detailers that lose money between the Instagram DM and the truck pulling into the driveway.

The DM came in during a paint correction. The quote went out three days ago and no one replied. Two Saturday jobs sit at the basic wash tier when they'd happily pay for interior + exterior. Rain is coming Sunday and your route is stacked. A ceramic customer from six months ago hasn't rebooked. These scripts qualify fast, quote clean, upsell without pressure, and keep your weekend route full — without ghosting anybody or eating a rain day.

The mobile detailing pack

Answer fast. Qualify the vehicle. Quote with a tier ladder. Book the day, not just the interest.

New-inquiry qualifying reply

For a first DM, text, or web form asking "how much for a detail?" — collects the four facts you need before you can quote.

Hey — thanks for reaching out. To send you a real quote instead of a guess: what year/make/model, is it a sedan/SUV/truck/van, is the interior light-dirty (dust, crumbs) or heavy (pet hair, stains, spills), and what ZIP are you in so I can check the route? Also — is this a one-time detail or something you'd like on a schedule? I'll send options once I've got those.

Quote with tier ladder

Sent once you have year/make/model + interior condition + ZIP. Three tiers, one recommendation, honest pricing.

Here are three options for your [Year Make Model] at [ZIP]: - Exterior Refresh — [$X] — foam wash, decon, tire dressing, windows. 60–90 min. - Full Interior + Exterior — [$Y] — everything above plus vacuum, steam, leather/upholstery treatment, dash and door detail. 2.5–3 hrs. - Signature Detail — [$Z] — full interior + exterior plus clay bar, one-step polish, sealant. 4–5 hrs. Best if you haven't detailed in 6+ months or the paint feels rough to the touch. Given what you described, I'd recommend the [tier] — that's the honest call, not the biggest ticket. Available [day/time A] or [day/time B] at your driveway. Reply with your pick and I'll lock the slot.

Quote follow-up (48 hours, no reply)

For sent quotes that went silent. Warm nudge, not a discount.

Hey [First Name] — checking in on the quote for your [Year Make Model]. Weekend is filling up — I've still got [day/time A] and [day/time B] open at your address if you want to grab one. If timing's off, tell me a better week and I'll hold a slot. If you decided to pass, no worries at all — just tell me and I'll close it out clean.

Upsell, weather, and reviews

Service-ladder upsell (booked customer)

Sent 24 hours before an already-booked wash/refresh, only when the vehicle photo or intake justifies it.

Hey [First Name] — quick heads up before tomorrow. Based on your photos and what you described (pet hair / kid stains / rough paint / whatever applies), I could add [interior deep clean OR clay + sealant] on-site for [$X extra] and finish in the same window. Zero pressure — the [booked tier] is a real detail on its own. Just letting you know so you don't wish afterward you'd added it. Reply YES to add or SKIP to leave as-is.

Weather reschedule (rain/heat/wind)

For a booked driveway job that gets weathered out. Sent as early as the forecast is confident.

Hey [First Name] — forecast for [day] just went to [rain/high-wind/severe heat] and it's not safe to do your detail outside in that. I don't want to half-finish a paint decon or leather treatment in bad conditions and hand you a mediocre result. I can move you to [day/time A] or [day/time B] this week — same price, no rescheduling fee. Reply with your pick.

Post-detail review request

Sent 24–48 hours after the appointment, from the operator, human-approved.

Hey [First Name] — hope the [Year Make Model] is still turning heads. If it went well, would you leave a quick Google review? Direct link: [review URL]. As a small mobile op, reviews are the single biggest reason new customers pick me over the shop down the road. Also — I'll follow up in about [3–4 months] to check on maintenance timing. Thanks again.

Automation map

Turn Instagram DMs, web form quotes, Google Business Profile messages, and voicemail into one route-ready queue you can run from your phone between jobs.

Capture

Every Instagram DM, Facebook message, TikTok inquiry, web form, Google Business Profile message, missed call, and voicemail creates one lead card — synced from your booking / CRM stack (Urable, Squire, Booksy, Jobber, Housecall Pro, Podium, Google Business Profile) and your VoIP.

Triage

Tag one-time vs. recurring intent, sedan/SUV/truck/van, interior condition, ZIP against today's route, quote-sent vs. quote-pending, and weather-risk on the booked day. Ceramic and PPF prospects tag separately — they're a longer conversation, not a same-week booking.

Draft

AI drafts from approved copy only. No fake availability, no fake urgency, no discounts you didn't authorize, no ceramic/PPF durability promises beyond the manufacturer's actual warranty. Nothing auto-sends past first name and time window without your approval on your phone.

Assign

You open one queue between jobs: quotes ready to send (with the tier ladder pre-filled), 48-hour follow-ups, upsell prompts for tomorrow's bookings, weather-reschedule drafts, ghosted-lead recovery, and post-detail review requests. All you do is tap send.

Measure

Track DM-to-quote response time, quote-to-book rate, average ticket per job, upsell take rate, weather-reschedule save rate (booked → rebooked instead of lost), ceramic/PPF lead-to-consult conversion, and 90-day rebook rate on maintenance customers.

Not a warranty product. Not a chemical or coating recommendation engine. Every reply in this pack assumes owner approval before send. Results depend on route density, pricing, condition of the vehicles you take on, weather, and your capacity. Do not promise ceramic durability, paint correction outcomes, or PPF longevity beyond the manufacturer's actual warranty and your own inspection.
