Mobile car detailing receipt template
A detailer finishes in the customer's driveway and gets paid by wallet app or card reader before driving away. The receipt is usually texted, and it needs to list what was actually done so a dispute has something to point at.

The lines a mobile car detailing actually bills
These are the preset line items this page loads into the maker. The price bands are typical, not prescriptive — set your own. The tax column is guidance: materials are taxable in most states and service labour often is not, which is a real per-state distinction covered on the state requirements pages.
| Line item | Billed by | Typical | Tax class |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exterior wash and hand dry | vehicle | $35 – $65 | Labour |
| Full interior detail | vehicle | $120 – $250 | Labour |
| Clay bar and machine polish | vehicle | $150 – $350 | Labour |
| Ceramic coating application | vehicle | $450 – $1,200 | Labour |
| Engine bay clean | vehicle | $40 – $90 | Labour |
| Pet hair removal surcharge | vehicle | $25 – $75 | Labour |
| Headlight restoration | pair | $45 – $95 | Labour |
The format this trade issues
A 58 mm compact format matching what a phone-attached card reader prints, so the texted PDF and the printed slip agree.
Get Receipt renders it as Mobile detailing receipt — A5 on-site service receipt: vehicle and service-address block, package plus add-ons, wallet settlement at the kerb.
Paid in cash?
No federal rule obliges you to issue a receipt for an ordinary cash sale, but issue one anyway: it is your record as much as the customer’s, and a sequential number that runs across the year is what makes a quarter reconcile. The cash-sale guide covers the three situations that do create a duty.
Common questions
- What should a detailing receipt include beyond the price?
- The vehicle it applied to — make, model and at least the plate or the last digits of the VIN. Detailing disputes are almost always about which car got which package, and a receipt without the vehicle on it settles nothing.
- Can I text a receipt instead of printing one?
- Yes. Nothing requires paper for an ordinary retail sale. Export a PDF or PNG and send it; keep your own copy, because the record-keeping duty is yours, not the customer’s.
- How do I show a tip taken through a wallet app?
- As its own line after the tax line. Tips are added after tax and are not themselves taxed, so folding one into the service price overstates your taxable sales.
Card details on this receipt
Get Receipt prints at most four card digits and has no expiry field anywhere in the app. FACTA forbids printing more than the last five digits, or the expiration date at all, on a cardholder receipt — so a violating receipt is not something this tool can be made to produce, by hand or by the assistant.
