Version
1.0.0 · updated September 2026

A complete starter system for a car detailing business, whether you work from a mobile rig, a shop bay, or both. The downloadable kit covers choosing your path, pricing by vehicle size class and condition, paint correction and coating quotes, trip fees by zone, maintenance plans, customer forms, SOPs, checklists, messages, marketing and AI prompts. Every PDF comes with an editable Word version, and four Excel workbooks do the pricing math from your own costs.

Your purchase also includes a license for the Business Command Center: a browser app set up for detailing, with vehicle year, make, model, color and size class on every customer and job, plus fields for condition level, surcharge approval, key status and wash-water method. It keeps your business data on your own device, works offline after setup, and exports to Excel whenever you want.

Software

About the app

Browser access
Runs in your browser at app.ownerkits.com and can be installed like an app (PWA). No account or password.
Offline use
Works offline after the first load and license activation, which helps in a driveway or fleet yard with weak signal. Internet is needed to activate, to update, and for an occasional license re-check.
Your data
Your business data is stored on your device (browser storage) and is never uploaded to OwnerKits. Check-in photos stay in your own photo folders; the app records where they are stored. The license check sends only your license key, a random device ID and a device label.
Backup
Create backup files any time (optional password encryption) and restore them on any device. Built-in Google Drive backup is coming soon.
Excel
Export your whole business to one Excel workbook, edit it, and import it back with a preview, validation and change review.
Devices
One car detailing business on up to 3 devices. Each device keeps its own copy of the data; there is no automatic sync.

FAQ

Questions about this product

What exactly do I receive?

A download (one ZIP) and a license key. The ZIP holds 16 PDF guides and templates, an editable Word version of each, 4 Excel workbooks, and two Start Here files. The license key activates the Business Command Center app in your browser.

Does it work for a mobile detailer, a shop, or both?

Both. Wherever the work differs, the guides, SOPs and checklists have a Mobile path and a Shop path. Mobile topics include the rig, water and power, trip fees and runoff. Shop topics include drop-off, key tags and bay scheduling. If you run a hybrid, you use both.

Will the prices fit my area?

The kit does not tell you what to charge. Every price in it is an example. You enter your own labor cost, product costs, overhead, zone distances and margin in the Settings sheet, time your own jobs by size class, and the calculators work out prices from those numbers.

How does it price different vehicles?

Every vehicle goes into one of six size classes (Small Car, Sedan, SUV / Crossover, Pickup Truck, 3-Row SUV / Minivan, Oversize) and one of four condition levels (Light, Normal, Heavy, Extreme). Packages scale by size class. Pet hair, heavy soil, stains and sand are separate surcharges the customer approves in writing before the work starts.

Does it cover paint correction and ceramic coating?

Yes, as business workflow: consultation, test spot, hourly quote, deposit, cure handover and aftercare. It does not teach polishing technique or name products. For hands-on technique, use recognized training and your tool and product manuals.

Is the app included in the price?

Yes. Your purchase includes a license for 1 car detailing business on up to 3 devices. The app is set up for detailing, with vehicle, size class, condition level, key status and wash-water fields.

Does the app work offline?

Yes, once it has loaded on your device and your license is activated. You need internet to activate the first time, to receive updates and for an occasional license re-check.

Where is my business data stored?

On your device, in your browser's storage. Your customers, vehicles, invoices and numbers are not uploaded to OwnerKits. The app only contacts the license server to check your license.

Can I store check-in photos in the app?

No. Keep photos in your phone or cloud photo folders. Each job in the app has a Photos Stored At field, so you can find the right album later.

What if I lose my phone or laptop?

Restore your latest backup file on the new device (app.ownerkits.com → Backup → Restore) and carry on. Anything entered after your last backup can't be recovered, so back up regularly and keep the file somewhere other than that device.

Can I keep using Excel?

Yes. The kit includes 4 workbooks, and the app exports your whole business to Excel and imports it back with a change review. It is export → edit → import, not live sync.

Does the kit tell me which licenses, permits or insurance I need?

No. Rules vary by location. The kit lists the topics to research, such as business registration, mobile work permits, wash water disposal, insurance for customer vehicles in your care, and sales tax, and tells you who to ask. It is not legal, tax or insurance advice.

Is there a subscription?

No. You pay once. Updates within version 1.x are included.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, within 14 days of purchase. Email support@ownerkits.com with your order email. The app license stops working once a purchase is refunded; your data stays on your device and can still be exported.
