Marketing systems for car detailers

Grow your detailing business with systems built by detailers.

We know what it is like to be cleaning a vehicle while the phone is ringing, quotes are waiting, weather changes the schedule and new leads are coming in.

McKay Growth Media was built from the systems and lessons we developed while running our own detailing business.

✓

We built this from the operator side first. The goal is not to give detailers more software to manage. It is to make quoting, booking, follow-up, reviews and customer organization easier.

We understand the business

We started with detailing before we started marketing.

We are two brothers who built and operated our own detailing business. That meant learning more than how to clean cars.

We had to price services, answer inquiries, send quotes, schedule around weather, manage customers, ask for reviews, market locally and figure out how to grow without spending the entire day answering messages.

That experience shaped McKay Growth Media. We started building systems because we needed them ourselves. Now we can adapt those systems for other detailing businesses.

Problems detailers know very well

☎

You cannot always answer the phone. You may be pressure washing, extracting or working with a customer.

$

People ask for quotes and disappear. Without a follow-up process, interested customers can easily be forgotten.

☁

Schedules change. Weather, cancellations and rescheduling create extra communication.

★

You finish great work and forget to ask for reviews. The customer leaves happy, but the review request never gets sent.

↻

Past customers get forgotten. There may be repeat business sitting in your customer list.

Built From Experience

We understand the workflow because we have dealt with the same day-to-day problems ourselves.

Made for Small Teams

The system works well for owner-operators and growing teams that do not have a full office staff.

Focused on the Customer Journey

The goal is to make it easier to go from inquiry to quote, booking, review and repeat business.

Detailer FAQ

Built specifically for detailing businesses.

Here are the main questions a detailer may have before deciding whether the Growth System makes sense.

Yes. McKay Growth Media was started by two brothers who also built and operated their own detailing business. Many of the systems we offer came from problems we encountered while managing leads, quoting, booking, reviews and customer follow-up ourselves.

Yes. The booking and forms can be configured around the services, vehicle categories and questions that make sense for your business.

A missed-call workflow can automatically send a text so the customer has an immediate way to continue the conversation instead of simply hanging up and calling another detailer.

Yes. Quote follow-up can be configured to check back with interested customers after a quote is sent and stop when they reply or book.

The CRM can keep canceled or rescheduling customers organized so they do not simply disappear from your pipeline. The exact workflow can be customized around how you handle rescheduling.

Yes. Review requests can become part of your completed-job process so happy customers are consistently given an easy way to leave feedback.

Detailer Growth System clients receive access to our training and resources covering areas such as pricing, quoting, scripts, upselling, reviews, marketing and business operations.

Yes. A standalone Detailer Academy option can be offered for $59/month for detailers who only want the educational resources.

No. The Growth System can be especially useful for owner-operators and small teams because those businesses often do not have a dedicated receptionist or office person handling every inquiry.
