You're not the only one who's had enough.
Auto Detailers face unique challenges: Urable charges $60+/month and it's the only detailing-specific software. Managing upsells (ceramic coating add-ons, engine bay, headlight restoration). Tracking product costs per job — a full correction detail uses $30+ in product. No-shows when you've already driven 30 minutes to the client's location. Seasonal income swings — dead in winter, slammed spring through fall. On top of all that, Square charges $29/month ($348/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median auto detailer earns $38,000/year. Software at $348/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Dual-action polisher (Rupes, Griots) is yours. You bought it once. Helix works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.
Square is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?
