As the owner of a shop offering all phases of auto services I can tell you it's probably worse for the mechanics. The constant questions, YouTube diagnosis, why cant that gasket be reused etc questions. Just have to enforce the no customers in the bay rule. If someone doesn't trust their car with you then send them down the road and move on to the next one in line.

Welcome to the site!    My only advice regarding any potential liability would be to speak with local law enforcement for their opinion, maybe a local magistrate for their opinion, your insurance carrier and most importantly your attorney.

Anytime you have a business decision (regarding anything) consider what your accountant and attorney would advise. Their input just might help save a headache or two.  

That entire job is just horrible. It may or may not have weld splatter but there is no way anyone should be expected to pay for that.

Thank you.

I'm looking for some insight. A local dealership took in an X7 on trade that is tinted with what appears to be an almost clear film. Damage on one window that needs replaced.  Ceramic I'm sure but much lighter than the 70% I have.  It does have a very light blue hue to it. 

Does this film sound familiar to anyone?

Thank you

My only advice is to do the math. I recently switched to a plotter etc and it helps a lot but like most others here I tint full time. If you are only tinting on the side then the time saved/extra jobs might not offset the cost of the equipment. 

BTW,   My back doors don't open, hopefully that's not an issue.

BTW,   I have to be at work in an hour how long will this take? (They were 3 hours past when it was supposed to be dropped off and the job was to tint all windows on an Expedition)

BTW from the custy = Bring Your Wallet cause it's gonna cost you extra.

30 years, yes sir. Started at 16 yrs old now I'm 47.  Not always full time but always tinting.

That building and setup is absolutely stunning! I would live there if it were mine. If I may ask, at that initial cost what is your projected time to recoup such an investment?

Start with a mid level film. In my experience 3 separate levels is too much. A mid level film with a lifetime warranty and a premium ceramic option should be plenty. The bargain hunter looking for a $99 tint job is often not worth the effort. I would recommend 5%, 20% and 35% as they are the most popular. If someone wants something else then order it with a deposit on the job. Hope this helps and best of luck to you. 

Looking for some input. I do not do vinyl wraps. I have removed a lot of vinyl over the years but never a full wrap. The car is coming in in a few days for my to give an estimate on removing his wrap. I am just looking for any insight from someone who has done it. I'm not even sure I will accept the job based on current workload. I'm assuming steam and or heat gun will be the best method.

Thank you in advance for any advice.
