A tint quote depends on the vehicle, the windows in scope, the film tier, and whether old film has to come off first. Here is the field list, the routing behind it, and what to leave off.
Short answer: a window tint quote form should collect the vehicle, the specific windows in scope, the film tier, whether old film has to be removed, the customer's location if the shop also serves flat glass, and a contact method with clear consent language. Then route the submission to a named person with the film question already answered so the first reply can be substantive.
Tint inquiries are usually short. Someone wants a number for a specific car and a specific look. The form's job is to gather the few variables that actually move the price, without turning a two-minute request into a survey. This guide lists those fields, explains why each one is there, and covers the routing that has to sit behind the form for it to be worth anything.
Start with year, make, model, and body style. Body style matters because a coupe, sedan, and hatchback version of the same nameplate have different glass counts and different rear window shapes. If the shop uses a plotter with pattern files, this is also the data that determines whether a pattern exists for that vehicle or whether it has to be hand-cut.
Ask which windows the customer wants done as a checklist rather than a paragraph. Common groupings are front two doors, rear doors and back glass, full vehicle, windshield strip, and full windshield where permitted. A checklist gives a clean scope and it also shows the customer options they might not have known the shop offered.
Present the film tiers the shop actually carries with a one-line plain description of each, such as dyed, carbon, and ceramic lines, and let the customer pick or select not sure. Not sure is a valuable answer because it tells the advisor the first reply should be a short explanation rather than a bare number. Keep the descriptions factual and avoid performance figures the shop cannot support with the manufacturer's own published specification.
Removal is labor, and on older film it can be slow, uneven work. A yes or no question at intake, plus an optional photo, lets the quote include or exclude it explicitly instead of the shop discovering it when the car arrives. Say on the quote whether removal is included and note that heavily degraded film may take longer than estimated.
Plenty of tint shops also do home and storefront glass. Those jobs need a service address, a rough window count, glass type, and whether a site visit is needed, which is a different field set entirely. The cleanest structure is a first question that splits automotive from flat glass and shows only the relevant fields after that. Trying to serve both with one long form usually means half the fields are irrelevant to whoever is filling it out.
Collect the phone number and email, ask the preferred contact method, and include plain consent language if the shop will follow up by text. That language should identify the business and explain how to stop messages. Consent and opt-out handling for automated messaging is covered in the FCC's consumer guide and in Twilio's A2P 10DLC documentation, and the requirements change over time, so verify the current rules with your own provider.
Routing is the half of this that people skip. A submitted form should create a record with an owner, a source, and a due first response, not just send an email that lands in a shared inbox. That structure is what a CRM for window tint shops is built around, and the form itself lives on the shop's tint service page.
Legal limits are state law, not a national figure
Visible light transmission limits, windshield rules, and medical exemptions are set at the state level and can change. Publish the rule for the states the shop serves with a link to the state's own source, and keep a review date on the page so it is clear when it was last checked.
Treat this list as a starting point
This is an example field set to adapt, not a claim about completion rates or conversion. Test changes against the shop's own submission data and remove any field the advisor never uses.
The reply should answer the question that was asked. If the customer picked a film tier, send the number for that tier and note what it covers. If they picked not sure, send a short comparison and one question back. Whatever the shop commits to for first-response timing, that commitment should be published and then measured against the pipeline data rather than assumed. Fuller context on how the intake, the follow-up, and the reporting connect is in the Automotive Lead Leak system.
