FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the best software for a ceramic coating shop?
SalesThumb is built for ceramic coating shops: 1-year / 3-year / 5-year / lifetime durability tiers, quotable paint-correction add-ons, warranty registration with branded certificates, and multi-day cure scheduling with automatic customer status updates.
Does it handle the 1-year-to-lifetime coating tiers?
Yes — durability tiers are first-class with per-vehicle pricing, so customers choose how long it lasts and you protect margin on larger vehicles.
Can it bundle paint correction with the coating?
Yes. Paint correction is a quotable add-on on every estimate, so you never coat over swirled paint without charging for the prep that makes the coating worth it.
Does it register ceramic coating warranties?
Yes — auto-generate branded warranty certificates on each install and handle claims and transfers in one place. A registered, multi-year warranty is what makes the lifetime tier sell itself.
Can customers track a multi-day ceramic coating job?
Yes. Cure time and stage checklists drive automatic status updates, so you stop fielding “is it ready yet?” texts.
Protect your customers' paint. And their loyalty.
