Who We're Looking For

We're building a network of the best detailers in St. Lawrence County and the North Country. If you meet these criteria, we'd love to hear from you:

  • Professional car detailing experience (mobile or shop)
  • Serve customers in Potsdam, Canton, Massena, Plattsburgh, or surrounding North Country towns
  • Maintain quality standards and positive customer reviews
  • Properly insured and licensed (where applicable)
  • Responsive — able to follow up on leads within 24 hours

How It Works for Detailers

North Country Detail Finder is a referral service — not a booking app. We send you qualified quote requests; you contact the customer, quote the job, and collect payment directly from them.

  1. Apply. Submit the form with your business info, service area, and the services you offer.
  2. We review. We check experience, coverage area, insurance, and fit for the network. You'll hear back within about 48 hours.
  3. Onboarding. If approved, we create your detailer portal account and email login instructions. Your first 2 leads are free — at most 1 of those can be a ceramic coating request; whichever matching requests come through first is what you get.
  4. A customer requests a quote. Someone fills out a form on our site with their name, phone, city, service, and vehicle details.
  5. We assign the lead automatically. Our system matches the request to an eligible detailer whose area and services fit, then emails you the customer's contact info and adds the lead to your portal — usually within minutes.
  6. You follow up. Contact the customer within 24 hours, give your quote, and schedule if they're interested. They pay you directly for the detail — we don't take a cut of your job price.
  7. Track leads in your portal. Each assignment appears on your dashboard. Mark an outcome when you're done (booked, not booked, etc.) so your active list stays organized — billing is not tied to the outcome you select.
  8. After your 2 free leads. Standard detailing assignments are billed at $20 each when delivered. If you offer ceramic coating in your services, ceramic coating leads are $45 each. Detailers who do not have ceramic coating selected will not be sent or billed for ceramic coating leads. When your complimentary leads are used up, new assignments pause until you resume in your portal and confirm you're ready for paid leads.
  9. Pay your balance online. When you owe for leads, pay through your detailer portal with a card. You can also pause new assignments anytime (seasonal breaks) and resume when you're ready.

Fair rotation: In shared (non-exclusive) areas, eligible detailers take turns receiving matching requests so opportunities are spread evenly.

Pricing & What You Pay For

Our standard model is pay per qualified lead — not pay-only-when-you-book. You know the cost up front for each inquiry we send.

Ceramic coating leads: If you offer ceramic coating services, you will receive ceramic coating leads at $45 per lead. Detailers who do not have ceramic coating selected will not be sent or billed for ceramic coating leads.

  • Start with 2 free leads. Every approved detailer gets two complimentary assignments to try the network before any fees. At most one of those two may be a ceramic coating request — and only if you offer ceramic coating and a matching customer request comes through.
  • Standard leads: $20 each. After your free leads, most detailing quote requests (wash, interior, full detail, paint correction, etc.) add $20 to your account balance when assigned.
  • Ceramic coating leads: $45 each (ceramic detailers only). If ceramic coating is selected in your services, quote requests for ceramic coating are billed at $45 when assigned. Ceramic jobs in the North Country typically run $500–$1,500+ depending on vehicle size and coating tier — a single booked job can return 10–30× the lead fee.
  • What counts as a qualified lead: a real quote request in your service area with a working phone number, the service you offer, and details from the customer form.
  • When you're charged: when we assign the lead to you — as soon as it hits your portal and you receive the notification email.
  • If the customer doesn't book: you still pay the lead fee for that inquiry. You're paying for the opportunity to quote, not a guaranteed job.
  • Bad or invalid leads: wrong number, outside your area, duplicate request, or spam — contact us and we'll review. We don't charge for leads that clearly don't meet the criteria above.
  • Exclusive territory: optional monthly subscription for one detailer per town — all matching leads in that zone go to you. Available in some areas; ask when you're approved. You must be current on any lead balance before starting an exclusive subscription.

What We Need From You

  • Follow up on every lead we send within 24 hours (sooner is better)
  • Provide honest quotes and professional service — your reputation reflects on the network
  • Tell us if a lead was invalid so we can fix issues or issue a credit when appropriate
  • Keep us updated if your service area, services, or contact info change

Note: Lead volume depends on how many customers use the site. We don't guarantee a set number of leads per week or month, especially while the network is growing.

Common Questions

Detailer FAQ

Clear answers before you apply.

Every approved detailer gets 2 complimentary leads when they join. At most one of those may be a ceramic coating request — and only if you offer ceramic coating and that type of request is assigned to you.

After those are used, standard detailing leads are $20 each. If you offer ceramic coating, ceramic coating leads are $45 each. Detailers without ceramic coating selected will not be sent or billed for ceramic coating leads.

Once your free leads are gone, new assignments pause until you log into your detailer portal, click Resume paid leads, and confirm you're ready to receive assignments at those rates. You can pause again anytime if you need a break.

No. Under our pay-per-lead model, you pay when we assign you a qualified quote request — not when the job is booked or completed, and not based on the outcome you mark in your portal. If someone doesn't move forward after you quote them, you still owe the lead fee for that inquiry. Your first 2 leads are free; after that standard requests are $20. Ceramic coating requests are $45 only if you offer ceramic coating — otherwise you won't receive them.

Ceramic coating is a premium service — typical jobs in our area run $500–$1,500+ depending on vehicle size, paint prep, and coating tier. Those customers are actively shopping for high-ticket paint protection, not a basic wash.

Only detailers who offer ceramic coating receive ceramic coating leads. If you have ceramic coating selected in your services, those leads are billed at $45 each (vs. $20 for standard detailing). Detailers who do not have ceramic coating selected will not be sent or billed for ceramic coating leads.

During your complimentary trial, at most one ceramic coating lead can be free out of your two free assignments — and only if you offer ceramic coating and that request is assigned to you.

When a customer submits a quote request, our system automatically matches them to an active detailer whose coverage area and services fit — usually within minutes, as long as someone in the network is eligible to take the job.

You receive an email with the customer's name, phone, city, service, and any notes, plus a link to your detailer portal where the lead also appears in your dashboard. We rotate fairly among eligible detailers in the same area so opportunities are shared evenly. Exclusive territory partners receive matching requests in their zone first.

If no active detailer covers that town and service combination yet, the request is held for manual review — that happens more often while we're still growing coverage. Lead volume still varies with customer traffic; we don't guarantee a set number of leads per week or month.

You do. The customer pays you directly for the detail at your normal rates. You pay us separately for the referral lead according to our agreement.

Let us know right away. Leads that are clearly invalid — bad contact info, wrong location, duplicates, or spam — are reviewed and typically not charged. We want the system to be fair for everyone.

We offer exclusive territory arrangements in some areas — one referred detailer per town or zone, with a monthly subscription through your detailer portal. Matching leads in that town go to you first. You must be current on any lead balance before subscribing. Mention your preference in the application and we'll discuss what's available.
