guys, lets get something straight...this is a window tinting company. u have a very easy job. all u have to do is tint windows...why are u putting yourself out there in a way thats just gonna give u more headaches. too much BS. how many places u can think of will come and pick up the car, do the work and all that crap again. I takes 1-2 hours to tint a car. if they cant wait...screw em. u cant catter to all thier needs now cuz they are gonna want u to do it next and the time after that and do it for thier homies cars that u already giving them a deal on.

BAD IDEA imo

I do it. I pick there cars up from work and drop it off or they pick it up. I have customers I have never met, just leave the car and money, lock the keys in the car and they pick it up. My address is not advertised, you need an appointment, it is not a walk in and it works for me. I have insurance and it does cover picking up cars, a shop, a reputation and tint full time and I only do tinting. So yes it is a good Idea and I can say that because I actually do it and have done it for years, never once had a problem :thumb

Has anyone ever opened a tint shop that only did pick up and delivery? :thumb Or maybe that would just be a good idea for a person who wanted to start a business. This way you could be in an area with less expensive rent or in your garage. For the most part it wouldn't matter where your shop was because your customer would never see it. Then down the road after building a customer base move in to a nicer shop with a store front. That way you could have walk-ins as well as pick up and delivery. Seems like it would be very convenient for customers and might be a good nitch in any market. Most of us already offer this type of service for dealerships.

Any thoughts?

You have more to figure out then how to get the customers car tinted and returned. Stay with your day job. :nono

well yes its not a bad idea if u dont plan on ever being a busy tint shop. then u would have alot of time to be driving back and fourth.

I should have made it more clear, I don't only pick up cars for my business, just the ones that can't make it at a scheduled time because of there works hours, there is a trip charge too.

I offer this service in the wintertime but only for 3 reasons :

1. I'm slower and am grateful for the work

2. I live in a city where everything is relativly close so not much driving wherever part of town they are from

3. My insurance that I pay to pick up and deliver dealer work covers me for it anyways

Not for everyone..but these are 3 reasons to do it if you fal into my type of tinting situation where the seasons of being busy is night and day :beer

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      Captain Obvious has two cents err senses to share: 1) The film should be removed and replaced, because it appears to have adhesive blemishes that shouldn't be there, and 2) The film should be reviewed/inspected once taken from the roll to avoid losing time and resources due to manufacturing issues. Little pieces not so much, but back glass and windscreen pieces ... definitely.

      Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be

      I switched so long ago... first to KDS but they went away. NT are great though. I use a piece of white strapping material as a cutting buffer between the blade and glass. Some use a button but I didn't like the feel..

      Headlight Taillight Vinyl question... (Looking for CHROME)

      I'm looking for a chrome/mirror wrap for headlights/taillights. No NEOchrome, just a mirror or chrome appearance. Looking to spice up a project. Looking for transparent so can see lights thru film. I have looked and can't find what fits the bill. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      I can't win with getting tint decent on the windshield. I had 3M on my F150 done twice and still has major defects. Recently did Stratos twice on my F350 and I see this granular spotted, texture pattern on the tint. It's super obvious in the corner here but also right in my view when driving. It's honestly hard to point out and show someone but when your driving and stuff is moving behind the windshield, it becomes more obvious. The lighting also matters. The first time I did the windshield, I had a two foot line on the windshield. Thinking it was tint, they removed the tint and it was apparently a defect in the Ford windshield. An issue between the laminated glass layers caused this big defect. So they removed the tint, I had Ford replace the windshield on a 2024 F350 but when the tint shop removed the tint, they made a bunch of micro scratches in the front windshield, probably from scrapping the glue off. I told them but I didn't care since Ford was replacing the windshield anyways. So if basically I'm trying to figure out what this texture stuff is and if I should have them replace or remove it. Replacing it might just have different issues but also afraid they will scratch the windshield.

      I would direct you to Express Window Films web site. They sell Global brand after setting up an account with them. They are reasonably priced and they do partials. Can't go wrong with Global.

      Need some help

      Never overlook the condition of the floor. Back when I did install, I used to mist the floor between the vehicle and the peel board. This is done between misting the window and walking toward the peel board to mist the pattern liner, peel liner and spray adhesive for install. Tacks any dust for the duration of each pattern install, so repeat each time a pattern is going to be installed.
