Can customers get a window tint quote by texting a photo of their car?
Yes. SalesThumb is built so a customer photo of a car becomes a drafted window tint quote: the AI identifies the year, make, model, and approximate window count, then prices it from your own film menu and labor rates. The draft is advisory, so you review and edit it before anything is sent to the customer by text or email.
In most shops, a "how much to tint my car?" photo means manually looking up the vehicle, counting windows, pulling your film menu, and doing the math. SalesThumb is designed to collapse that into seconds. Its Photo to Tint Draft tool reads a vehicle photo, matches your tint types, and drafts Good, Better, and Best options at your own retail prices. Every price is computed from your catalog and stays advisory: SalesThumb drafts, you approve, and nothing goes out until you press send.
Why the answer is what it is
The AI reads the car, not just the photo
Upload a vehicle photo and SalesThumb is built to identify the year, make, model, and approximate window count automatically -- no VIN to type and no manual lookup. That is the slow first step in a normal text-photo quote, handled for you.
It prices from your menu, not a guess
The draft pulls your active film menu and labor rates and prices from your Sales Matrix, where tint pricing is set once per vehicle type (sedan, coupe, SUV, truck). The quote reflects your real catalog, so the number is yours, not an invented figure.
You approve every quote before it sends
Photo to Tint Draft is a read-only draft and pricing stays strictly advisory. SalesThumb drafts Good, Better, and Best options for you to review and edit; nothing is sent until you choose to send it by SMS or email.
A quote can become a booked job in one click
Once you send a quote, it is built to convert into a booked job with customer details pre-filled, a deposit or payment link attached, and a slot on the calendar -- so a texted photo can move all the way to a confirmed appointment.
The same window picker the customer and counter both see
Quotes use the car-layout window picker that lights up exactly which windows are included -- the same visual on quotes, invoices, and the self-serve kiosk -- so the customer and your counter always see the same job.

Related questions
Does the customer need to send a VIN or window count?
No. SalesThumb is built to identify the year, make, model, and approximate window count from the photo itself, so the customer just sends a picture of the car.
Is the photo price the final price?
No. The photo-to-quote output is an advisory draft. It is built so you review and adjust the Good, Better, and Best options before sending, and you decide the final price.
How does the customer pay if they accept the quote?
When a quote becomes a job, SalesThumb is built to attach a deposit or balance payment link through its integrated payments, so the customer can pay from their own phone. SalesThumb is processor-neutral.
