Mobile tint set up

[Rjsi]

135 for a four door sedan is incredibly cheap. I can't imagine going against those 55 dollar guys. I'm one of the cheaper guys in my town but at those prices I'd have to give it up.

 

JH812,

 

What is the go around price for a 4 door sedan in North Carolina?  I ask cause I am planning to be moving there in the next 2 yrs.   Clayton or Charlotte area.

 

Let me know

I try about 160 to 180. Most places are charging 2 or better. That's a little west of me. Charlotte may have some cheapo shops there as well. I'd call and ask what people are charging. I do that in my area just to make sure I'm pretty close to every one else.

mobile tinting is not all that bad.....i offer to do the work at my shop (which is in the middle of nowhere) or if it is worth it and not too far i offer mobile if the people have a suitable area. 

 

if you are doing mobile tint....your largest enemy will be the wind......by far.....you will waste time and material and frustration battleing something as simple as the wind.......

boomer, anything higher in this area and you will have no clients... too many shops on tents here.  Competition is stiff.  I just drove by a sign that says, $55 with warranty...

 

$135 on 2 hrs is ok for me for a part time gig.  averaging $60-$63 an hr?

my prices

2 truck windows and strip $85 = 40 mins of work - Full Truck $130 for Single Cab, Ext Cad $170

I charge $20 per window for tint removal & $35 for the rear glass + price of installation. 3-4 hrs

 

4 door sedans $135

 

If I don't have a covered garage or car port I do not take the job. I am putting out quality work- I just have a redo of 2 roll ups on a car this Sat - one of the issue is a customer hitting it with the car keys and scratching the film really bad, the other is a corner that came up.

 

It has been 35 cars since my last re-do job.  I think that's pretty darn good. 

 

Competition here in Tampa is bad... I think my prices are very fair for me, and help keep the competition honest.   For everyone that tells me that they have someone that can do it for $99, I tell them, I wish you good luck. 

I understand your passion... Keep up the good work. The money will follow.

3 out of my 6 days this week are mobil. I dont do too much of it normally but its nice to get away sometimes. I will only travel if the pay is right and they have a clean garage. I have realized how spoiled I am with my air conditioned shop though. Haha
