What’s new
Every meaningful update to ShinePilot Pro — new features and improvements, newest first.
v1.2.8August 10, 2026Latest
- ImprovedThe live demo now has a “← Back” button in the banner, so you can hop back to the website when you’re done poking around — and “Start a free trial” takes you straight to sign-up.
v1.2.6August 10, 2026
- NewTwo new paint jobs 🎨 — Candy Apple (classic hot-rod red) and Racing Green (British racing green over cream) join the theme garage, and every theme now has a proper name: Fresh Wash, Sunset Cruise, Show Car and Midnight Drive.
v1.2.4August 10, 2026
- ImprovedThe website menu now works on phones — Features, Pricing, Compare and Guides ride in a swipeable row instead of disappearing on small screens.
v1.2.1August 4, 2026
- NewOur Privacy Policy and Terms of Service are now published, linked from the footer of our website.
v1.2.0August 4, 2026
- NewYou can now just reply to our emails — every message we send carries a real reply address and reaches a person on our team.
- NewA contact form on the sign-in screen ("Can’t sign in? Contact us") and on our website, for when you can’t get into the app at all. If your email matches an account it becomes a support ticket automatically.
- ImprovedSupport stays open even if your account is paused — the Help & Support tab keeps working, and the paused-account screen now has a Contact support button.
- ImprovedQuotes, campaigns, booking confirmations and on-my-way messages you send now reply straight back to your own inbox, not ours.
v1.1.0August 3, 2026
- NewOnline booking 📥 — your own public /book page with live availability straight from your schedule. Customers pick a service, vehicle size and open slot, and the job lands on your calendar. Share the link, print the QR code, or embed it on your website.
- NewCard deposits at booking — connect your own Stripe account and take a deposit (you pick the %) the moment someone books. No-shows stop hurting, and every deposit books itself as a paid invoice.
- NewBooking funnel — see page views, bookings and conversion, plus which channel (Instagram, Google, Facebook, TikTok) actually books you. Add ?src=instagram to the link in your bio and watch.
- NewJobs now carry an optional time of day — shown in My Day, the schedule and your routes. Online bookings arrive with their slot time already set.
- ImprovedA new Booking Page hub in the app: link + QR + embed code, bookable hours, size surcharges, deposit settings and the funnel — all in one place.
v1.0.2August 3, 2026
- ImprovedA fresh coat of wax 🧽 — a brand-new car-and-suds logo, a brighter azure look, richer dashboard cards, a shinier sign-in screen, and a big glow-up across the website: an interactive before/after slider, the crew app on a phone, and your punch cards & memberships front and center.
v1.0.0August 3, 2026
- NewShinePilot Pro launch 🚐✨ — clients & their vehicles, washes that repeat themselves, day routes with one-tap optimizing, and a phone-friendly My Day view for your crew.
- NewBefore & after photos on every job — tag each shot as you take it, show off the side-by-side pairs in the client portal, and share any finished job as a public showcase page with ready-to-post Instagram and Facebook captions.
- NewLoyalty punch cards — every completed visit stamps the card; when it’s full, redeem the reward right from the client card. Clients watch their punches add up in their portal.
- NewMemberships — Bronze / Silver / Gold wash plans (fully editable), auto-invoiced monthly. Your recurring revenue shows up on the dashboard, not in a spreadsheet.
- NewVehicle condition reports — score exterior, interior, wheels and glass after each visit; every vehicle gets a condition trend over time, and clients see the latest report in their portal.
- New“On my way” — one tap in My Day sends the client a friendly heads-up with your ETA. Review requests go out automatically when a job wraps (drop in your Google review link once).
- NewQuotes your customers can approve online, invoices, email campaigns for slow weeks, a shared to-do list, expenses & P&L, and equipment & maintenance tracking for the rigs.
- NewA private portal for every client — upcoming visits, service history with before/afters, invoices, quotes, punch card and membership, no login needed.
- NewCrew Tracker — see exactly what got done today: check-in and check-out times, photos from the driveway, and anything skipped (with the reason).
- NewSelf-service free trial, email + authenticator two-factor sign-in, automatic backups, Refer & Earn, and one flat $20/month price — everything included, unlimited crew.
Routine fixes and maintenance ship in between these releases — we only list the changes you’d actually notice.
