choose the CRM built around the vehicle.
Your shop does not deliver generic field service. It sells work on a specific vehicle, documents its condition, changes scope, collects approval, takes payment, and needs that history on the next visit. Auto Detailing CRM makes that vehicle-specific chain the default instead of asking your team to adapt a platform designed across many trades.
Free trial. Fast setup. No migration consultant required.
Auto Detailing CRM makes the vehicle, protected approved scope, order-linked Stripe payment, materials, outside cost, and repeat history part of the standard operating model. Your team starts with the structure it needs instead of assembling it from a broad field-service toolkit.
QuoteIQ is a mobile and web field-service platform for many contractor trades, including mobile detailing. Its public feature set includes AI tools, estimates, invoicing, scheduling, payments, customer financing, job costing, inventory, employee tools, and an outbound API, with access varying by plan. Auto Detailing CRM trades some of that category breadth for a deeper detailing-specific operating record.
Compare the handoffs that affect conversion, approval, payment, history, and profit.
| Area | QuoteIQ | Auto Detailing CRM |
|---|---|---|
| Product focus | A broad field-service platform serving many contractor trades, with dedicated pages and workflows for mobile auto services and detailing. | A detailing-first CRM organized around customers, vehicles, detailing services, quotes, orders, payments, costs, and repeat visits. |
| AI phone workflow | The AI Virtual Call Team is published across all plans, runs on included IQ Credits, and sits inside a larger suite of AI tools. | The AI receptionist answers in English and Spanish and records the call, transcript, summary, intent, lead, or booking in the detailing workflow. |
| Quotes and approval | Standard, options, package, and quick estimates, proposals, e-signatures, InstaQuote, and InstaSchedule provide a wide range of selling formats, with some features tied to higher plans. | A secure Quote Portal verifies the recipient by saved phone or email, records the exact published revision, and returns edited customer-visible scope to Draft. |
| Vehicle and job record | QuoteIQ markets per-vehicle job costing, mobile-auto inventory, documentation, fleet pipelines, and customer history; test the exact record structure against your repeat-service process. | The vehicle is a first-class record carrying VIN, plate, body type, condition photos, quotes, orders, signatures, payments, receipts, and service history. |
| API and intake | The official feature catalog lists an outbound API on Elite and Max and website contact forms on eligible plans. | The open API can be used directly or through Zapier, while signed webhooks accept WordPress, Contact Form 7, WooCommerce, and custom-form leads. |
| Plan decision | Five published plans vary by user limit, monthly IQ Credits, and access to job costing, inventory, EmployeeHub, InstaQuote, route optimization, and API features. | Workspace plans use user caps and included AI or SMS allowances; compare the plan that supports your whole detailing workflow, not only the entry price. |

Put one real customer, vehicle, quote, approval, and payment through Auto Detailing CRM.
Auto Detailing CRM narrows the product around auto-detailing operations so the vehicle, exact sold work, approval state, payment, costs, and repeat history stay connected by default.
QuoteIQ can be the better fit when your company spans multiple contractor trades or when consumer financing, customer self-quoting, route optimization, property measurement, and its wider AI toolkit lead the buying decision.
The cheapest advertised tier is not the useful comparison if your workflow needs features from a higher tier. Price the exact users, usage, and modules needed to complete one real job.
The advantage is not one more feature. It is keeping the customer, vehicle, approved scope, payment, cost, and history in one operating chain.
Six capabilities that directly protect conversion, approval, payment, customer history, and job profit.
The customer, VIN or plate, body type, condition, service history, quotes, approvals, payments, and receipts remain connected across visits.
The protected order snapshot remains immutable, while verified, stale, and revoked states show whether an earlier signature is still current.
Tap to Pay on iPhone, Stripe Terminal, links, deposits, tips, balances, and receipts reconcile against the same order.
WordPress, Contact Form 7, WooCommerce, and custom forms can create structured Website Leads through signed webhooks.
Use the open API directly or connect it through Zapier when another form, spreadsheet, or back-office tool needs to join the workflow.
Revenue is evaluated alongside materials, inventory usage, vendor bills, and subcontractor cost instead of stopping at collected sales.
Product capabilities, prices, and plan access can change. Confirm the workflow you need with each vendor before subscribing.
QuoteIQ is a broad contractor platform with a very large feature catalog and dedicated mobile-auto capabilities. Auto Detailing CRM is narrower: the customer, vehicle, exact approved scope, Stripe payment, cost, and repeat history define the default workflow.
Yes. QuoteIQ publicly lists its AI Virtual Call Team on every plan, with usage drawing from the plan's monthly IQ Credits. Compare call behavior, languages, booking actions, escalation, and actual monthly usage against Auto Detailing CRM in a live test.
When reviewed on September 21, 2026, QuoteIQ published five monthly plans from $29.99 for one user to $699 for unlimited users, with different user limits, IQ Credits, and feature access. Pricing can change, so confirm the current plan table and price the tier containing every feature your shop needs.
Start with Auto Detailing CRM if vehicle history, revision-aware approval, Stripe checkout, website lead intake, integrations, and job-level gross profit define your workflow. Test QuoteIQ first only when self-quoting, consumer financing, its broader AI suite, route optimization, or multi-trade flexibility are non-negotiable.
Start with one real workflow—from the first call or website lead to the signed order, Stripe payment, receipt, and gross profit.
