Hey guys! I'm new to the forum. Just thought I'd post here and introduce myself and my business. My name is Jake and I run a tint shop in Yuma, Arizona. The sunniest city in the United States! I did tint for a long time before taking the plunge and starting my own business. Has it's challenges for sure, and I work long hours trying to handle all the tinting in addition to stuff outside of that to run the business efficiently, but I love being my own boss and I'm determined to make this thing a big success. If anyone has more experience and advice in this category, feel free to throw it at me, especially when it comes to online stuff.

 

My website is http://www.windowtintingyuma.com if you guys wanna check that out and give me some advice.

 

Thanks all!

 

-Jake

Now you only have to work a 1/2 day each day. Try to be efficient scheduling those 12 hours every day.

 

You have to give it to get it, remember that. To get work you going to have to give your work away something all new businesses go through but if you do it right it will paid big dividends. Focus on keeping your Google ratings as high as possible. This is the big one and some don't understand but the customer is always right if you have to remove the film and give a hundred percent refund I suggest do it.  I don't care what you do for business if you follow those couple rules you'll be a success if you have a quality product and or craftsmanship.

 

Good Luck!

Jake,

 

Welcome to the forum. I looked over the site, and I have a few thoughts. Probably on the end of the scale as being super picky... but whatever. :)

 

1. The chart on the residential page - It doesn't really say much.. it gives data, but doesn't really say something like - "The greater the # the better" or something like that to indicate what's being shown. (Like charts that show the capabilities of graphic cards.... numbers don't mean anything if it's not clear as to what is being shown)

 

2. On that chart - you have 'VS' - I would use lower case -  "Factory vs. Film" - IMO it just looks better.

 

3. Major props for using the word 'tantalizing'. :thumb2

 

 

Lastly, I didn't see anything about film brands. Which I'm totally ok with - I think as a business you should promote yourself over any brand, but I think you can balance that with at least having something listed somewhere. Not all over the place shoving it down customer's throats, but at least somewhere.

 

Other then that - I think it's really really nice.

Hey Jake, welcome! Viewing the mobile site, it looks awesome. I like the clean and simple design. Looks like it was built on the Wix platform?

These days it's extremely important to have a mobile friendly site. You will actually rank higher in Google's search engine algorithms if they detect a mobile/responsive website.

      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.
