Detailing booked with a deposit, not a database of customer addresses.
Mobile jobs need a home address, a vehicle, and a time the customer won't be there. Harbor takes the booking and the deposit, then forgets the address. Recurring maintenance details and fleet jobs on the free plan.
Free to start. No credit card. Customer addresses never stored.

Everything the big booking apps have. Plus the things they hold back.
The features detailers actually pay other tools for, included from day one.
SMS reminders
Twenty-four hour and one-hour text reminders fire automatically, so the customer is home and the car is in the driveway. They can reschedule from the link in the text.
Deposits via Stripe
Charge a deposit at booking before you load the van and drive across town. Money lands directly in your Stripe account. Per-job refund rules for cancels and reschedules.
Vehicle & address intake
Ask for make, model, condition, and service address at booking. Answers go straight to your inbox. Harbor never writes them to a database. A real privacy promise you can market.
Embeddable widget
Drop a single iframe snippet on Squarespace, Wix, WordPress, or plain HTML. Your customers book without leaving your site.
Auto-waitlist
Day fully booked? Customers join the waitlist with one tap. When a job cancels, the next match gets a book-now link. No phone tag, no staff time required.
Recurring maintenance details
Monthly or quarterly maintenance washes booked in one click, up to 26 occurrences with automatic conflict detection. Cancel one visit or the whole series.
Fleet & multi-vehicle jobs
Block the right amount of time for fleet accounts and multi-car households. Per-service duration and buffer minutes so a ceramic job never collides with the next wash.
Packages, prices, buffer time
Interior, exterior, full detail, ceramic, paint correction. Per-service pricing, deposit amount, and buffer time before and after so back-to-back jobs stop wrecking your day.
Staff scheduling
Shift templates, time tracking, PTO, shift marketplace, internal messaging for your crew. Most booking tools make you pay extra. We don't.
A list of homes and when nobody's there shouldn't live in a SaaS forever.
Most booking platforms log every customer's home address, vehicle, and appointment time indefinitely. For a mobile detailer that's a map of where people live and when they won't be home, sitting in a database, waiting for the next breach.
Harbor's intake is pass-through. The address and vehicle details reach your inbox at booking and disappear from our servers. Your own job list holds what you actually need.
- Addresses and vehicle details never persisted
- Free-text capped server-side, no LLM piping
- Deposits handled by Stripe, never touched by us
- Self-hosted on infrastructure we own
What other tools charge extra for.
Honest comparison. Things Square Appointments, Setmore, and the all-in-one detailer apps typically gate behind higher tiers.
