Every TAC does that rock,

My local is even worse..... Burns everyone around him and the film they use being inferior to TAC's then slings em a special with the same film.....

Good point about p1ssing custys off though.

Yeah, by local franchise I meant local to Australia.

Is he really bagging his opposition? Highly unethical and contrary to the provisions of membership of the WFAANZ .

I would definitely call him on that one. I don't ever tolerate people bagging me or my product.

Yeah, can't say someone's come to me and told me "he said" but quite opens blows away other products and lines to customers, and even myself, well, used to anyway.....

"Llumar is the best and I've been here with llumar for 20 years, and your warranty is with our TAC network"

Kind of a hard argument to compete against.... Plus he don't know how to tint a window contrary to the name, but he's got a great installer, whose actually a great guy that I've met after work hours and get along with.....

Going to take him on soon now that I've got a base.... Once I get a little funding for some advert I'm gonna push.....

Only thing I got up on him, is better product, plus funnily enough, better price.....

My best film is in his mid range price, due to his inflated franchise prices.....

Big Owl just may be providing a special tool I can use to prove mine are better too..... :thumb

My prices are just special to begin with. No discount needed.

99$ special?
Wtf? I don't think you can be a smart arse with the $99 special mark..... You just said you do it yourself? And then tried to justify it by saying "oh but we want to upsell....."

WTF? It's about the local tinter next to you. Your just another bottom feeder doing your own lowball sales.

Well if you actually read my post you would realize that I do not make the prices as I clearly stated "the company that I work for".

Here in the states Group-on is a very legit and popular form of advertisement. Using groupon is totally different than a 99$ special that typically will turn into a garbage install with purple film in 6 months. We do quality installs with quality film.

My response to this comment was due to the fact that the original poster was asking what specials our shops run. I don't understand what "my prices are just special to begin with" means. Therefore my first thought was 99$

I read your post,

Now tell me,

If you advertise "good film" for $100, and even just get pad $50,

Are you better or worse than the guy who sells bad film for $99, and gets paid $99 for it. At least we can distinguish ourselves from people using cheap Chinese shit for $99..... Your the worst of them all? Sorry, "your bosses shop which you gloated about having a good marketing strategy"

I'm the worst of them all? Interesting take, so you're criticizing me for using quality film rather than poor film while we do this form of advertising? If I was in charge would I use group-on? No I wouldn't however my boss runs a very successful business with a very loyal client base so can't fault him for that. I'm not the boss and I'm compensated very well to do quality work so that's what I do.

So to answer your question yes I think we are better than the guy that sells cheap film because our customers know what they are getting; a quality install and film and they know where to find us should a concern arise. Whereas the "99$" most likely are telling lies left and right and never heard of again.

The local franchise store here is heavily into marketing and specials. Every month it's something different.

Last month it was "trade in your old tint for $100" - so they take $100 off the normal price of an r&r . This month it is "Any tint in the range plus a fabric/vinyl/leather protection treatment for $899" Other times it is $100 off any tint for this month only.

All depends on your starting price with this type of marketing.

They have identified the $100 figure as being the right figure to get some action but the normal price of tinting through them is $450 - $650 / car so they have a lot of room to play.

The only trouble with this sort of marketing is you burn customers real quick. I know I would be pissed if I had my car tinted at full whack and then 2 days later they advertise $100 off. :evileye

Yeah if I were getting that price I could afford to discount also. I feel my work is the quality that it needs to be but my salesmanship isn't. Which I feel is equally as bad as not putting quality work out.

I only give discounts on referrals, usually a $10-$15.   I do not compete with the $99 shops around me... they hate me cause I do a good job... quality, not quantity.  They can do 6-7 cars in a day, with 3-4 redos a week later.  I do 3-4 a day, with no re do jobs.

Not that cheap Lock, I don't know how they do it that cheap. No wonder they don't last that long.

Alright cool, thanks for the clarification. In my defense I did in fact ask a question and did not make an accusation. Happy tinting!

I simply stated a fact, that to the other good guys around you your just as bad if not worse.

I quote "we shouldn't be worried when cheap nasty installers are offering $99 jobs..... When a "good installer" is offering these prices with a quality product, that's when we should be worried."

Do you actually think your right in disagreeing?

      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.
