Built around your shop — not bolted on

By the time they hang up, the driveway wash and waxes is quoted, booked, and on the tech's phone.

Not an AI receptionist bolted onto someone else's software. DispatchNode prices from your mobile car wash catalog and rules, books the job on the board, collects Stripe, and the tech sees it on their phone.

Anatomy of a Lost Job

7:15 PM - Urgent Call

An office manager calls to book weekly car washes for their building's tenants.

9:10 AM – No Answer

"Please leave a message or press 1 for..."

7:18 PM - Lead Hangs Up

Searches Google, hires a competitor who answers.

Estimated Opportunity Lost

The Old Way:
Losing Bookings to Voicemail.

A 30-minute pop-up thunderstorm at 1:15 PM forces cancellation of 6 afternoon appointments. The detailer spends the next 3 hours playing phone tag with voicemails trying to reschedule each one individually.

The van drives 18 miles across town to wash a single sedan at an office park, burning $22 in diesel and 40 minutes of windshield time for a $95 job that now nets $33.

The detailer arrives at a corporate lot to find the client locked their keys inside a 3-hour board meeting. The van sits idle for 90 minutes, and the next two appointments cascade late.

Mobile Car Wash — why missed calls hurt

Market reality

A mobile detailing van idles in a subdivision driveway at 10:00 AM with a 100-gallon water tank and a 6-stop route mapped out by zip code. Each wash pays $50 to $150, and profitability hinges on keeping inter-stop drives under 2 miles. One 20-mile cross-town deadhead erases the profit from two full details.

How True wins the job

A commuter books an SUV detail at 11:45 PM for the next afternoon. The AI agent asks for the vehicle make, model, and a photo of the interior. It detects heavy pet hair in the uploaded image, appends a $40 extraction surcharge to the base $95 price, and slots the job into a 2:00 PM block that sits 1.4 miles from the van's previous stop in the same subdivision. It auto-texts the customer a reminder at 1:00 PM to leave the doors unlocked and the windows cracked. The routing engine also checks the 12-hour Doppler radar forecast and confirms zero precipitation for the service window.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the system handle sudden rain cancellations without manual phone calls?

The routing engine monitors the hourly Doppler radar feed for each job's zip code. When precipitation probability exceeds 60% within the service window, it automatically texts every affected customer a 1-tap reschedule link that shows the next three sunny afternoon openings. No phone call is made or received—the entire reschedule completes by text.
