Why shops switch
The most common reasons we hear from Tint Wiz switchers
Honest. We don't trash Tint Wiz — they've earned their reputation. These are the friction points that push shops to look for an alternative.
No AI features — quotes still typed out one line at a time
Limited bulk SMS / marketing — basic comms only, no segmented blasts
Where SalesThumb wins
What SalesThumb does that Tint Wiz doesn't
Real multi-location & HQ dashboard — Tint Wiz is single-shop.
Bulk SMS & email marketing campaigns — Tint Wiz has basic comms only.
Full automation workflows (any trigger → any action) — Tint Wiz is limited to follow-ups.
Modern UI your techs will actually use on a tablet.
First-party AI in the workflow (Smart Pricing, photo-to-quote) — Tint Wiz has none.
Where Tint Wiz still wins (we'd be lying to deny it)
- ·Flat $150/mo with unlimited users — dead simple pricing.
- ·QR-labeled film inventory workflow is well-proven.
- ·Auto follow-up proposals at 24h/48h drive conversions.
- ·Established tint-industry reputation.
If those are deal-breakers for you, stay with Tint Wiz. If you can live with them, the rest of this page tells you why SalesThumb is worth the switch.
Migration
How shops migrate from Tint Wiz to SalesThumb
Most Tint Wiz shops are fully on SalesThumb within 10-14 days of starting the trial.
1. Export your TintWiz data
TintWiz exports customer + vehicle data via CSV, and SalesThumb's Customers → Import tool loads it directly with column mapping — plan on ~30-45 minutes for a 2-year history. Appointment and warranty records aren't auto-imported; bring those over manually or keep TintWiz read-only for historical lookups during the transition.
2. Rebuild your service catalog
Most TintWiz shops have 15-30 services. There's no catalog CSV importer today, so you'll recreate it directly in Settings → Services — AI quote-suggest (Settings → AI) speeds up individual quotes once your catalog exists, drafting line items priced from your own services, but it won't build your menu for you. The AI description-suggest helper in Settings → Services can draft each service's copy to save typing as you add them.
3. Connect payments + Twilio + go live
Connect your payout account (5 min), wire Twilio for SMS (30 min if you bring your own number; 1-6 weeks for fresh 10DLC registration). Run both tools in parallel for a week, then cut over.
FAQ
Switching-from-Tint Wiz questions
Why are tint shops switching from TintWiz to SalesThumb?+
The main reason: AI features (quote-suggest, dispute defender, customer brief, photo-to-quote) that TintWiz doesn't ship. SalesThumb's Starter tier is $199/mo flat vs. TintWiz's $150/mo flat — Starter unlocks Growth ($399/mo flat) and its AI feature set the moment you outgrow Starter.
Will I lose my film inventory tracking?+
No — SalesThumb tracks rolls in feet remaining (same model as TintWiz), with AI reorder suggestions and one-click PO drafts when low + per-job COGS reports. Bulk-receive parts form for new orders. Inventory v2 is more capable than TintWiz's QR-labeled tracking.
What about TintWiz's photo-based film preview?+
TintWiz's proposal tool includes photo uploads for showing customers film options. SalesThumb has a film-swatch picker rather than a photo-preview tool. Cost if running both in parallel during migration: $150/mo TintWiz flat + $199/mo SalesThumb Starter (flat) = $349/mo total, with a real growth path (move SalesThumb up to Growth or Pro as you scale).
How long does the migration take?+
A 2-year-history single-shop typically takes 1-2 days end-to-end: export from TintWiz (1 hour), import to SalesThumb (30 min), build catalog (2-3 hours), wire payments + Twilio (1-2 hours), train team (1-2 hours), parallel-run for a week, cut over. Most shops are fully on SalesThumb within 10 days of starting the trial.
Can I keep my TintWiz phone number?+
If you used Twilio under TintWiz, yes — port the number to your own Twilio sub-account, link it in SalesThumb. If TintWiz used a number on your behalf, you'll need to either port it (works if it's a regular long-code) or get a new one (10DLC compliant).
