Set sedan, SUV, and truck / van prices on every service. A Tahoe is not a Civic. Add-ons — pet hair, extra polish, headlights — should be their own line so the request is honest.
Know your driveway costs: supplies, fuel, water, insurance, and time between jobs. Earnings on Detailers Direct tracks income and expenses on the device so you can see profit. We do not publish payout timing or fee percentages here.
Rush Detail is a separate flat fee you set if you opt in. The customer sees that rush fee before they request. Do not hide it in a text thread.
Customers pay in the app or pay you directly — cash, check, Zelle, Cash App, or Venmo, whatever you list. New detailers get 3 months of $0 platform fees. After that, apply and we will talk terms in onboarding, not on a public price page.
