I always ask to use the garage...thats what a garage is for...anything to keep me and my install out of the elements. I know some tinters who work outside and do quality work. But they move very fast. (Dallas_Tinter @ Dec 12 2008, 06:56 PM) [*]657110[/*] This question is for all of those who are mobile tinters...

Doing jobs outside is always risky, but that doesn't mean a good job can't be achieved. Its just harder. Im not a mobile tinter, and I have a shop, but I have seen some pretty good work from a car tinted outside.
I did mobile for about 15 years for dealerships. Did a lot of freebies with service managers to use the empty stalls. I also learned to work very discreet to where two GM's let me tint all cars on showroom. It was kind of entertainment and advertisement for the service customers waiting around. Keep cards in front pocket, you will pass them out fast!
I always tell the customer that you must have a clean garage with a power supply. I've modified that now by adding, a clean garage that the car fits in AND your able to open the doors, on both sides, fully. I did that cause I'd get to their home and find the garage used as a junk shop, extra bedroom or storage locker! Or they want it done in their windy carport! I tell them, if you want bubbles then yeah, I can do it there. They'll usually find a friend, relative, neighbor who'll lend me the garage for a couple hours. Or, when their a referral from a dealer, I'll do it there. I have 2 dealerships that let me use one of their service bays to tint anything, anytime. Sometime I'll spring for lunch for the service manager and advisor. The big benefit is tinting the service managers demo or personal car and I get free oil changes for my Evo. And that don't come cheap because of the need for Mobile 1! Never paid for an oil change yet!
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
