For ceramic coating shops

Ceramic coating business software, built by a shop

I run a PPF shop, and I built Service VIN to run it — the same system runs a ceramic coating shop from one login. Turn your tiered coating packages into one-click quotes with the profit showing live, register and track every warranty against the VIN, keep cars coming back with automatic maintenance reminders, and put an AI team on the quote follow-up and the ask for a five-star review.

Packages & quoting

Turn your coating packages into one-click quotes

Stop rebuilding the same coating quote from scratch every time. Save your tiers as packages, drop one onto a quote, and watch the margin move as you add the correction stages and extras.

  • Package tiers, ready to send

    Your coating menu — the two-year, five-year and lifetime tiers, single-stage or multi-stage correction — becomes a set of ready-made packages you drop onto a quote in one click, add-ons and options included.

  • Live margin, costed from real materials

    Every bottle of coating, pad and compound carries its real cost, so the profit on the job updates live as you build the quote. You never sell a lifetime package at a single-stage price again.

  • Send it, take a deposit, book the bay

    Text the quote for a one-tap approval with a deposit collected on the spot, and an approved quote drops onto the calendar as a booked coating slot — a cure day that can’t be double-booked.

Warranties

Register and track every coating warranty

A ceramic coating is a promise you have to honour years later. Service VIN keeps every warranty tied to the vehicle in the customer's garage, so a claim or a returning customer is one search away — not a hunt through a filing cabinet.

  • A garage for every coated vehicle

    Scan the VIN to build the vehicle record, then keep the coating tier, layers, install date and warranty on file — so the car that rolled out two years ago is one search away when it comes back.

  • Warranty registered at handover

    Register the coating warranty against the VIN the day you hand the keys back, with the tier and coverage terms recorded on the vehicle — no loose PDFs, no paperwork lost between the bay and the front desk.

  • Certificates behind secure links

    Warranties, contracts and before/after correction photos reach the customer through secure, expiring links from the document portal — professional to receive, and never a public file left floating around.

Retention & reviews

Bring cars back for maintenance — and earn the review

A coating's warranty depends on annual inspections, and your next booking depends on reviews. Automations handle both, so neither waits on someone at the shop remembering to.

  • Maintenance reminders that fire on schedule

    Set the annual inspection or decon reminder when the coating is applied and the SMS or email goes out on time — keeping the warranty valid and the maintenance revenue on your books, not the detailer’s down the street.

  • Confirmations and reminders cut no-shows

    Booking confirmations and appointment reminders send automatically, so a coating bay booked for a cure day doesn’t sit empty on a slot you can’t get back.

  • Ask for the five-star review, automatically

    When a job wraps, a review-request agent reaches the happy customer at the right moment — the reviews the next customer reads before they book, without anyone at the shop remembering to chase them.

Front desk & AI

A coating shop CRM with an AI team on the phones

The phone rings while you're taping a hood at 60 grit. We're all installers before we're business owners — so Service VIN catches every call and message in one inbox and puts an AI team to work on the follow-up you never have time for.

  • One inbox for calls and texts

    Every call and text lands in a shared CRM inbox, so a coating enquiry doesn’t get lost between a personal cell, a Facebook message and a voicemail nobody checked.

  • An AI copilot on every call

    It records, transcribes and summarizes the call, then drafts the estimate, text or booking you promised — ready for one-tap send before the customer is out of the lot.

  • An AI team that chases the work

    Lead-responder, quote-follow-up, win-back and review-request agents keep quotes moving and leads warm — all draft-first, with opt-outs and quiet hours enforced in code, not left to memory.

Why Service VIN

Why ceramic coating shops choose Service VIN

Plenty of tools can book an appointment. These are the four things a coating shop feels every single day.

01

Live margin, costed from real materials

The profit on a package comes from what your coating and prep materials actually cost you, not a list price. That’s the number a coating shop loses the most on — and the one Service VIN puts in front of you before you hit send.

02

An AI team, not one AI feature

A calling copilot plus lead-responder, quote-follow-up, win-back and review-request agents. Every one is draft-first, so the shop’s voice stays yours and nothing goes out without a nod.

03

Built for coating and film work

Tiered packages, VIN-linked warranties, real material COGS and cure-day bay scheduling are first-class here — not detailing software with coatings bolted on the side.

04

Flat pricing, no per-seat charge

Add your whole crew without the bill climbing. Plans start at $79/month CAD, and every feature is free to try for 14 days — no credit card. Compare plans →

FAQ

Ceramic coating software, answered

What is ceramic coating business software?

It’s one system that runs the parts of a ceramic coating shop that usually live in five different apps. Service VIN is ceramic coating software with a customer CRM and a shared text/call inbox, tiered coating packages you quote in a click with live margin, a 24/7 online booking storefront with deposits, VIN-linked warranty registration and tracking, maintenance-reminder automations, and an AI team that follows up and requests reviews — so a lead becomes a quote, a booked bay, a coated car with a registered warranty, and a five-star review without re-typing anything.

Can I sell tiered coating packages as quote templates?

Yes. Your coating menu — say a two-year, five-year and lifetime tier, single- or multi-stage correction — becomes a set of ready-made packages you drop onto a quote in one click. Add-ons and options live on the same quote, and because every bottle, pad and compound carries its real cost, the profit margin updates live as you build it — so you never green-light a lifetime package at a single-stage price.

How does warranty registration and tracking work?

Every coating warranty is registered against the vehicle’s VIN in the customer’s garage the day you hand the keys back, with the tier, layers, install date and coverage on record. When a customer returns or files a claim, the whole history is one search away, and the certificate and contract are served through secure, expiring links from the document portal — not a public PDF anyone can forward.

Can it send maintenance reminders and ask for reviews automatically?

Yes. Schedule the annual inspection or decon reminder when the coating is applied and it goes out on time by SMS or email — keeping the warranty valid and bringing the car back for paid maintenance instead of the shop down the road. When a job wraps, a review-request agent asks the happy customer for a five-star review at the right moment. Both are set-once automations, and the AI agents are draft-first, with opt-outs and quiet hours enforced in code.

How does Service VIN help me price a coating job profitably?

Every quote is costed from what your coating and prep materials actually cost — not a list price you typed in once. As you build the package, the live profit margin moves with it, so you can see before you send whether a discount still leaves you money. Material inventory draws down as jobs are logged, with reorder alerts before you run out and real COGS on every ticket feeding your reports and the weekly owner digest.

Can I switch from Urable, Tint Wiz or OrbisX, and what does it cost?

You can import your customers and history from Urable, Tint Wiz, OrbisX, QuickBooks Online, Zoho Books or any CSV, so you start with your data already in place. Plans are flat monthly with no per-seat charge — Essentials is CA$79, Growth CA$199 and Command CA$399, with two months free on annual billing. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial of every feature, no credit card required.
