Make your car embarrassingly clean — without leaving home. detailstart sends a top-rated local detailer right to your driveway, gear and all. Pick your pro, lock in the price (no haggling, no surprises), and pour yourself a coffee. They'll handle the rest — water, power, supplies, before-and-after photos, the works. WHY DETAILSTART • Local pros, vetted and review-tested by real customers • See exactly what you'll pay up front. No "we'll let you know when we're done." • They come to you — your driveway, your schedule, your sweatpants • Every job ends with before-and-after photos. Proof, not promises. • Pay through the app. Funds are held until you say it looks right. • Sign in with Apple. Pay with Apple Pay. Two taps and you're booked. HOW IT WORKS 1. Browse pros nearby. Pick the one whose work makes you do a double-take. 2. Lock in a time — today, tomorrow, whenever works. 3. They show up ready. You hand off the keys, go about your day, and approve when it's done. ARE YOU A DETAILER? Stop chasing payments and DMing customers about availability. Set up your storefront in minutes, paste your booking link in your Instagram bio, and let detailstart run the back office — bookings, payments, reviews, photo records, the whole thing. You handle the cars. We handle everything else. Payments run through Stripe and are held briefly after each job so both sides are protected. Bookings happen between you and your detailer. Service availability varies by city.
