Questions about Mobile tinting.

When i was an Ironworker we had this little box tent that covered a small enough area for me to be in so i could weld while it rained or snowed, i'm trying to find that, but what i'm getting at is look in construction supply places for a work tent maybe

I did a search on "mobile garage" and saw a few nice tents for around 100 or less. I was thinking of the mobile thing at one time, bunch of ideas popped in my head, like i only need enough tent for the window i'm working on so maybe a small setup or 2, i also had a trailer i could fit a car on and pondered building onto the trailer a camper like thing that pops out on the sides so i can bring my garage with me. I also looked around for public covered garages in key areas that i could use. Like if they didn't have a garage i could tell them to meet me at a cool covered parking garage. I have a few friends with car shops, some will let me use an empty bay for $20 a tint job. I now have a physical shop and even in the enclosed shop i have dust issues. All i can say is work fast af lol.

On amazon i found a $300 generator that is good for 3500watts (4000 peak) (Champion, i also use it to power my house during outages). If it's just your heat gun you could get away with a 2000 watt, or you can use a torch for shrinking. just shooting out ideas. Let me know if you can make it work, i have a spare pickup i'd like to make the Tintmobile.

Any pictures of that mobile garage????

there are inflatable ones that go up in 2 min but not cheap. a prototype for tinting by the tint shop (Aaron Fournier) has clear sides and roof for light. not sure if its shipping yet. I was mobile, not to custy's house. I set up different shops to schedule the work for me. yes I give up a few points but dozen plus sales reps selling, no mystery of where i work. low overhead and home based business write offs. suggest keep your area within a 30 min drive, larger circle waste to much time driving.

makes billing easy with set accounts compared to billing individual custy's.

I always said, if I could get rid of my customers, my job would be a lot easier LOL
