Two vehicles at Shine & Drive, a Audi A3 and a Ford Focus, each with its owner and MOT status; number plates are blurredMOT status on every car

Every vehicle and its MOT

Each car, like the Audi A3 and Ford Focus here, keeps its owner and MOT expiry date, so the next test never sneaks up on anyone.

Packages booked, not hours quoted

Mini, full and detail sit on your booking page as priced packages with the time each one takes, so the right length of slot is held and nobody expects a full valet in an hour. A form sent with the booking collects the address, the access notes and whether there is water and power.

No commission on new customers. No per job charges.

One monthly subscription. 2.5% + 35p only when you take a card payment.

Day view on the Youzse mobile app

A driveway is not a card machine

The work finishes on a drive or an office car park with no counter and no terminal anywhere near it. Take contactless on your phone before the machine is packed away or send a payment link while you are still stood there, so nothing gets settled next week.

Recurring valets collect themselves.

A monthly maintenance wash is charged on a schedule rather than chased.

Payouts on the Youzse mobile app

A fortnightly round beats one good detail

One detail is a good day. A round of fortnightly maintenance washes is a diary you can plan a week around. Standing slots, photos of the finish and notes on the paint make the next visit quicker and the upsell obvious.

Unlimited customers on every plan.

Vehicle notes and photos stay on the record for the next visit.

Running a valeting business

Valeting happens on a driveway or an office car park, nowhere near a card machine. A single detail is a good day rather than a business.

Get paid where the work happens

Contactless on a phone means no terminal to carry and no invoice to chase. Price the packages clearly so there is no negotiation on the drive.

Fortnightly beats one-off

A detail is a good day. A round of fortnightly maintenance washes is a business you can plan a week around.

Sell the maintenance wash as a monthly subscription and let it collect itself.

The vehicle holds the notes

Coatings applied, problem areas and paint condition belong against the car so the next visit is quicker and the upsell is informed.

Local business fleets are recurring work that fills weekdays, which is when domestic demand is weakest.

What a well run valeting business does

  • Takes contactless on a phone wherever it works
  • Prices packages as clear tiers
  • Sells monthly maintenance washes on recurring payment
  • Books standing slots that repeat
  • Records coatings and paint notes per vehicle
  • Builds weekday fleet work with local businesses

Yes. Attach a form to the service and it goes out with the booking, collecting the address, access notes and whether water and power are available, so you turn up ready to work.
