How do you prevent under-quoting detailing jobs?

We've all been there: a client describes their car as having "a little bit of dog hair," but when you arrive, it looks like a husky lived in the backseat for five years. What should have been a 2-hour vacuum turns into a 5-hour extraction battle, destroying your hourly margins.

The Solution: Conditional Before-Photos

The absolute best way to ensure accurate pricing is to visually inspect the vehicle before approving the appointment. DetailDeck solves this with **Conditional Photo Collection**.

How it works in DetailDeck:

When creating a service (like "Heavy Interior Stain Extraction" or "Multi-Stage Paint Correction"), you can toggle on "Require Photos". During the mobile booking flow, the client is forced to snap and upload 1 to 4 photos of their vehicle's condition before they can submit the request.

This allows you to review the photos from your DetailDeck dashboard, reject bookings that are under-quoted, or message the client to apply a custom surcharge before confirming the slot.
