Arkansas market context
What drives demand for Arkansas aftermarket shops
Arkansas combines hot summers (tint + ceramic) with a meaningful fleet/commercial wrap market driven by Walmart, Tyson, and J.B. Hunt corporate footprints. Northwest Arkansas (Bentonville/Fayetteville) is a growing luxury market.
Arkansas film tint laws
Arkansas requires at least 25% net light transmission on the front side windows and the side windows immediately behind the driver, and at least 10% on the rearmost window, for 1994 and later model vehicles. Side windows immediately behind the driver on trucks, buses, trailers, motor homes and multiple purpose passenger vehicles may go to 10%. The windshield may carry only a top-edge strip no more than 5 inches down from the top center. A label from the installer must be on the front glass to the driver's left. A physician's certification allows 20% on the side windows, 10% on the rear window and 50% on the windshield, valid for 3 years.
General information, not legal advice. Laws change and enforcement varies; confirm current requirements with the state.
SalesThumb's quote-time VLT check compares proposed shades to the basic AR per-window limits; if the quote becomes an invoice, the customer acknowledges a tint waiver before paying. The check does not model medical, vehicle-class, or paired-window exceptions, so confirm those by hand.

Where are the tint, PPF, and ceramic shops in Arkansas?+
They are concentrated in Little Rock, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, and other major metros. Arkansas combines hot summers (tint + ceramic) with a meaningful fleet/commercial wrap market driven by Walmart, Tyson, and J.B. Hunt corporate footprints. Northwest Arkansas (Bentonville/Fayetteville) is a growing luxury market.
Does SalesThumb support Arkansas state VLT compliance?+
Partly. SalesThumb's quote-time VLT check compares proposed shades to the basic Arkansas limits for sedans and SUVs/trucks. It does not model medical, vehicle-class, or paired-window exceptions (for example Colorado's darker rear glass with 70% fronts, Illinois' 50/30 pairing, or multipurpose-vehicle exemptions), so confirm those by hand. If the quote becomes an invoice, the customer acknowledges a tint waiver before paying. An embeddable tint-laws widget for your own website shows Arkansas legal limits to customers before they pick.
Can Arkansas shops use SalesThumb's mobile app?+
Yes — the Expo-built iOS + Android app is live on the App Store and Google Play, and works anywhere with cell/WiFi, including Arkansas. Customer-side login is name + phone + 6-digit SMS code (passwordless); staff-side is email + password with role-based tabs (NONE / INSTALLER / SALES / BOTH per employee). VIN scanner, photo capture, and push notifications are all built in.
Does it integrate with QuickBooks for Arkansas shop accounting?+
Yes, on the Growth plan and up — per-shop QuickBooks Online OAuth. Paid invoices push one-way to QuickBooks and the matching customer is created automatically. Arkansas shops on QBO connect once, then push paid invoices with a click. (Two-way sync is on the roadmap.)
