Car Detailing That Accepts Interac e-Transfer — Auto-Deposit, Confirmed by Text

Interac e-Transfer is the payment method people ask about most, because it's the one they already use for rent, splitting dinner and paying the babysitter. It works the same way with Auto Royale: once your detail is finished, you send the e-Transfer from your banking app, we have auto-deposit so there's no security question, and we text you a confirmation and your receipt.

It's also the easiest way to pay when you're not standing at the car. Overnight jobs, details at your office while you're in meetings, or a parent's car in Richmond Hill paid for from Calgary all work with a transfer sent from wherever you happen to be.

How the e-Transfer works, step by step

When the job is done we text you the finished photos and the e-Transfer details, usually an email address set up for payments. Open your banking app, add us as a recipient, enter the amount, and send. Because we have auto-deposit turned on, the money lands without a security question and without us having to accept anything. You get Interac's notification that it was deposited; we text you that it's received and send your receipt.

• Add the e-Transfer address we text you as a recipient
• Send the amount from your chequing or savings account
• No security question needed; auto-deposit handles it
• Confirmation text and receipt from us, usually within minutes

Daily limits and larger jobs

Every bank sets daily and weekly e-Transfer limits, and they vary a lot between institutions and account types. For an express wash or an interior detail it rarely matters. For a ceramic coating or a multi-stage paint correction, check your limit in the app before the day, and if the total is above it, either raise the limit with your bank in advance, send part today and part tomorrow, or pay the balance by debit tap or credit card. Just tell us which, and we'll note it on the invoice.

Paying from somewhere else

An e-Transfer only needs a Canadian bank account, not your presence. Kids at university send one for a parent's car; a landlord pays for a tenant's vehicle after a move-out; a company in Ottawa pays for a rep's car that we detailed in a Vaughan office lot. If the payer is outside Canada, the credit card link is the better route, since e-Transfer is a Canadian system.

When you book, tell us the car, the address, the time and that you'll be paying by e-Transfer. If someone else is paying, give us their name so the confirmation lines up.

Confirmation and records

You'll end up with three records: the Interac notification from your bank, our confirmation text, and the receipt we send. If you need an itemized invoice with each service listed for a rideshare cleaning-fee report, a business expense or a lease return, ask and we'll email it with the same date and amount as the transfer, so everything matches.

You don't need to send anything before we arrive. We'll say clearly at booking if a particular job needs an arrangement in advance; otherwise, the transfer goes after the work is done and you've seen it.

Best for

• People who pay for everything by e-Transfer
• Overnight and at-work bookings where you're not present
• Family members paying from elsewhere in Canada
• Small businesses paying from a company account

Typical time: An e-Transfer takes a minute to send from your banking app and is usually confirmed by us within minutes.
