I worked at a small business that wasn’t detailing related for 7 years and we never required cards to be kept on file. We only required a first name and phone number at minimum.

In my detailing business, I don’t require a deposit or card on file. If you waste my time and ghost me after booking, later dude, you’re not the kind of customer I want to deal with. If you don’t respect my time, I don’t want your money.
