Plugixa Car Wash
Taking car wash bookings by phone stops working the first Saturday two customers want the same bay at the same time. Plugixa Car Wash takes the booking on your own WordPress site instead: customers pick their vehicle, a package and any extras, see the real price and the free time slots, and book in a few steps.
Behind the form is a booking engine that knows every vehicle type has its own price and duration, counts each bay or mobile team, respects opening hours, breaks and closures, and locks the slot while it books. Your staff run the day from one app: a bay schedule you can drag, a job board, the customer list with vehicles and history, payments, coupons and a dashboard.
The free edition is a complete system with no limits and no outside services. Pro adds Stripe payments, reminders and text messages, mobile service with travel fees, memberships, gift cards, loyalty points, fleet accounts, a dispatch board with before and after photos, reports and webhooks.
