Detail Scale by DetailHub

Turn Your Detail Department Into a Measurable Profit Center.

Detail Scale is the complete dealership detailing profit-growth system. We professionalize your detail department through training, SOPs, ceramic & protection programs, advisor upsell scripts, CRM automation, and KPI tracking — so the customers and vehicles already coming through your store become incremental six- to seven-figure annual profit.

The dealership problem

Most dealerships don't have a detailing problem. They have a system problem.

You already have the customers, vehicles, service traffic, sales traffic, staff, brand trust, and bays. Detailing isn't underperforming because it's missing equipment — it's underperforming because it's run on chance instead of on a system.

Detailers aren't formally trained or certified
No standardized SOPs or quality control
No clear package menu or advisor scripts
Service advisors rarely offer detailing
Salespeople under-present ceramic & protection
Used-car recon takes too long, costs gross
No missed-call text-back or AI receptionist
No CRM automation, email or SMS campaigns
Managers don't track detailing KPIs
Five profit channels

Every dealership has five places detailing creates real profit.

Service Drive

A 3–8% close rate on existing service traffic for interior, exterior, salt removal, odor, headlight restoration, and seasonal packages.

Sales Floor

Ceramic, interior, fabric, leather, wheel & glass protection presented properly at delivery — financed into the sale.

Used-Car Recon

Faster reconditioning, better photos, lower days-to-frontline, higher gross per used unit, less appearance-driven discounting.

Lease Return / Trade-In

Pre-appraisal cleanup, scratch & odor treatment, paint correction — promoted through advisor scripts and SMS.

Marketing & Website

Detailing landing pages, ceramic funnels, Google Ads, AI chat, missed-call text-back, automated email/SMS follow-up.

B2B / Fleet

Local fleets, real estate teams, delivery companies, municipalities, and used-car wholesalers as recurring B2B revenue.

Profit calculator

Model your dealership's added annual profit.

Adjust the annual service mix below. The model uses $29/hr loaded labor, ~7% staff spiffs on incremental revenue, ~$30k blended marketing/CRM/AI tooling, and ~$55k incremental overhead — the same assumptions Detail Scale uses in dealer proposals. Numbers are realistic estimates, not guarantees.
