Step by step

The same three steps, in detail.

  1. 01 / 03

    Find a professional

    Search by service or suburb: detailing, ceramic coating, paint protection, tinting, wraps. Every pro on Autara is ABN-verified, photo-ID checked and has provided proof of public liability insurance before they can appear in results.

    • Browse by service type or category
    • Filter by rating
    • Every review comes from a customer who actually booked the job
  2. 02 / 03

    Book a time

    Each pro publishes their services with price, duration and what is included. Pick a real available slot, and whether they come to you or you go to them. Add your car once and it is saved to your garage.

    • Real-time slot availability, no back-and-forth
    • Mobile or workshop, shown up front
    • A deposit through Stripe holds your slot; the pro confirms, and you are refunded automatically if they cannot take it
    • The balance is only captured once the work is done
  3. 03 / 03

    Get it sorted

    On the day, the booking moves from confirmed to in progress to done, and you can message the pro for gate codes, parking or a last-minute note. Once they mark it complete, the rest is charged to the same card, or we send you a link to pay it.

    • In-app chat, with a record if you ever need one
    • Add-ons on the day need your approval before they are charged
    • Leave a rating and a review; only customers who booked can
    • Add the pro to your favourites for next time
The Autara promise

What every booking comes with.

  • Verified pros, every time

    ABN, photo ID, and public liability insurance checked before any pro can list. No exceptions.

  • No surprise fees

    Prices include GST. Deposits and totals shown up front. Add-ons on the day need your approval before they are charged.

  • The balance waits for the work

    Only the deposit is captured at booking. The balance is collected when the pro marks the job complete. Not before.

  • Help by email

    Email support@autara.au with your booking reference.
