Real, verified detailers
Genuine reviews and a verification badge for detailers who've confirmed their business details -- not anonymous listings.
About DetailGurus
Better car care starts with a clearer connection.
DetailGurus is a marketplace for professional auto detailing -- real, independent detailers and shops, listed with transparent pricing, real reviews, and a straightforward way to book and pay for the work, all in one place instead of a string of phone calls and cash-only appointments.
For a customer, that means comparing real local detailers side by side, seeing exactly what's included in a service before booking it, and paying securely through the platform -- no surprise add-ons, no chasing someone down for a quote. For a detailer, it means a real storefront and booking system with no signup fee and no monthly subscription -- DetailGurus only makes money when a detailer does, through a single, transparent booking fee, and every detailer keeps 100% of the tips their customers add.
Book and pay in one place
A real appointment, confirmed and paid for through DetailGurus -- no back-and-forth to lock in a time or agree on a price.
Our mission
Give every detailer the tools a much bigger business would have.
Most professional detailers are running a real business -- scheduling, customer relationships, payments, marketing -- with none of the software a bigger shop takes for granted. DetailGurus exists to close that gap: a booking and operations platform detailers can actually afford and actually understand, paired with a place customers trust to find and book real work. Our job is to get out of the way so detailers can spend their time on cars, not spreadsheets.
What we hold ourselves to
Our values spell out DETAIL
Because in this industry, the details are the whole job.
D
Dependable
Payments post on schedule, the platform stays up, and when something on our end goes wrong, we fix it and say so -- the same no-disappearing-acts standard we ask every detailer on here to meet.
E
Excellence
We hold our own product and support to the same bar we're asking detailers to hold their work to -- worth coming back to, not just good enough to get a first booking.
T
Transparent
One booking fee, published and the same for every detailer -- no hidden charges, no fine print, no quiet math working against a detailer or a customer.
A
Accountable
When something on our platform gets in the way of a booking, a payout, or a dispute, that's ours to fix -- not a policy that just says it should be.
I
Integrity
Every review, rating, and number we publish about this marketplace is real -- we don't inflate our own numbers to make DetailGurus look better than it is.
L
Local
We build for neighborhood shops, not chains -- growing real local businesses is why DetailGurus exists, not a side effect of it.
Careers
We're growing -- and hiring is part of that.
DetailGurus is a small, fast-moving team building for a huge, underserved industry. Open roles below -- don't see a fit? reach out anyway, we'd still like to hear from you.
Senior Backend Engineer (Rails)
Full-timeOwn the systems that actually move money and trust on this platform -- the booking and payment pipeline, Stripe Connect payouts, and the marketplace matching that surfaces the right detailer to the right customer. Rails and PostgreSQL experience matter, but a bias for the boring, correct answer over the clever one matters more: this is a two-sided marketplace handling real payments.
Apply for this roleMarketplace Growth Lead
Full-timeOwn how new detailers and new customers actually find DetailGurus -- local SEO, paid acquisition, referral loops, and the unglamorous work of building real supply and real demand in a new metro before it has either. You'll work directly with the founder on what to try next, not run someone else's playbook.
Apply for this roleDetailer Success Specialist
Full-timeThe first real person a new detailer talks to -- helping them build their storefront, price their services, and land their first booking, then staying their go-to when something about payouts, scheduling, or a customer goes sideways. Equal parts onboarding, support, and a feedback loop straight back to engineering.
Apply for this roleCustomer Support Associate
ContractAnswer real customers with real bookings -- rescheduling, refunds, cancellations, and the occasional dispute between a customer and a detailer. You're the calm, clear voice that keeps a bad appointment from becoming a bad review, on either side of the marketplace.
