# WhatsApp reminders for car detailing Source: https://terminio.ai/en/branchen/car-detailing/whatsapp-reminders WhatsApp appointment reminders for car detailing: confirmation on every booking, a reminder the evening before, from your number. No cost per message. A confirmation at booking, a reminder the evening before with the key hand-over time. All automatic. ## Confirms. Reminds. Bay full. - Every booking triggers the confirmation. Whether through your booking page, the phone assistant or entered by you at the front desk: as soon as the appointment is in the calendar, the customer gets a WhatsApp with the job, date and time. No app, no account, simply in the chat. - Reminded. And paid up front if they like. The reminder arrives on WhatsApp from your number. If a service has a price, customers can also pay it right at booking through Stripe; anyone who would rather pay on site books without payment. - Booked on the phone, confirmed on WhatsApp. When the AI phone assistant takes a call while the polisher is running and books an interior clean for an estate, the confirmation goes out exactly as with any other booking. The reminders run along with it. The customer notices no difference. - Key hand-over at eight, empty the car out. A week before, 24 hours before, 2 hours before or your own timing, each with its own text. Name, date, time and job terminio fills in; the pick-up time and the note to empty the car you write once. Your number, no cost per message. - The status sits on the appointment. Sent, scheduled, failed: in the calendar you see on every appointment whether the reminders went out. Everyone sees their own jobs, you see the whole bay. Whoever can't make it writes back, straight into your WhatsApp chat, and the ceramic day doesn't stay empty. - Status on the appointment, on every device. Sent, scheduled, failed: the status of every reminder sits right on the appointment in the web app. Apps for iPhone and Android and a smartwatch app are coming soon. ## Common questions **Do my customers see my number or a strange one?** Yours. You connect your WhatsApp by QR code in the app, and your number stays your number. The WhatsApp appointment reminder comes from you, and replies land in your chat. Whoever can't bring the car after all simply writes back, and you see it before the bay stays empty. Technically this is a linked device, not the official WhatsApp Business Platform; WhatsApp can restrict or ban numbers that send automated messages. **Can the reminder carry the pick-up time and the note to empty the car?** Yes. You write the text yourself, the way you speak. Name, date, time and job are filled in by terminio as building blocks; the key hand-over time and the note to empty the car out you add once. While writing you see the message exactly as it arrives with the customer. **When does the reminder go out if the car comes at eight in the morning?** You decide: a week before, 24 hours before, 2 hours before or your own timing, say the evening before. Every reminder can be switched on and off on its own, each with its own text. The confirmation goes out right after booking, whether online, via the phone assistant or entered by hand. **What do WhatsApp appointment reminders cost for car detailing?** WhatsApp appointment reminders for car detailing come with five messages a month on the Free plan and unlimited on Pro. There is no cost per message, no SMS fees and no credit to top up. Pro has a seven-day free trial and can be cancelled monthly. No setup fee. **Can I see at the front desk whether tomorrow's reminder has gone out?** Yes. The calendar shows the status on every appointment: sent, scheduled or failed. No checking the phone, no writing again. You see it in the web app, at the front desk or on the go. **The bay is full in spring. Do I have to trigger every message myself then?** No. Set it up once, and it runs: connect WhatsApp, set the sequence, send a test message. From then on terminio writes on every booking, even when every bay is taken in spring. You don't type a single message, and no appointment goes out without a WhatsApp appointment reminder. --- terminio.ai is online appointment booking for small businesses with WhatsApp reminders and an AI phone assistant, from €0 a month.
