How to use this template
This template is a starting point only. Have a licensed business attorney in your state review it before using it with customers. Contract requirements vary by state and city.
Fill in your business name, address, and contact info. Adjust the cancellation policy and warranty terms to match what you actually offer.
Service contracts are most valuable for ceramic coating, PPF, multi-stage paint correction, and fleet agreements — jobs where both parties have significant financial exposure.
Obtain written agreement (physical signature or digital via DocuSign/HelloSign) before starting any job covered by a contract. No signature = no protection.
This template covers Booking confirmation and deposit collection. DetailFlowPro handles this automatically for active businesses — no spreadsheet required.

For standard washes and interior details, a written contract is usually overkill. For high-ticket services (ceramic coating $500+, multi-stage correction, fleet accounts), a written agreement protects both parties and sets clear expectations about scope, pricing, and cancellation.
A template on its own is not legal advice, and whether any contract is binding depends on how it is executed, state law, and other factors. Have an attorney review and adapt it before use. This is provided for reference only.
You can adapt it for fleet agreements. See the Fleet Account Contract Template in this tool library for a version specifically designed for recurring fleet clients.
