A mobile detailing app that asks about the vehicle
Lo-Cal, the booking calendar by Busifier, starts a detailer with long jobs, time to drive between them, and what you need to know before you go: the vehicle, its size and where it is parked.
What Lo-Cal does not do for mobile detailers
When another tool fits better: Lo-Cal does not change the price by vehicle size, take a deposit to hold a Saturday, or plan routes for a crew. If you need any of those, keep a detailing tool that does.

What customers answer when they book
Every booking asks for a name, a phone number and an email. On top of that:
| Question | Mobile detailer | Shop detailer |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle (year, make and model) | Required | Required |
| Vehicle size (Car, Small SUV, Large SUV, Truck, Van) | Optional | Optional |
| Address for the job | Required | Not asked |
What it looks like on a phone
Example business: Marigold Dog Grooming is fictional, and these are screenshots of Lo-Cal on a phone. Your page asks your own trade's questions, shown in the table above.
How a booking works for mobile detailers
A customer picks an interior and exterior detail on Saturday at 9:00 and enters a 2019 Honda Pilot, large SUV, and their driveway address. You see the size before you say yes, so you can confirm it, or decline it and call them about a longer slot.
Once you confirm, the customer gets a calendar invite, and so do you. The address is on every request you get. Rained out? Cancel the booking from your dashboard, and the customer is told and asked to pick another day.
