We bought our graphtec from LLumar. It’s been great to us. Thanks for watching.

This was very informative!! I’ve been car tinting on the side since I was 18. I want to open my own business when I retire from working for corporate America. I can’t thank you enough for the sauce you given us.

Great video and great shop setup! Thanks for the video!

I'm in the process of starting my own shop. Iv almost mastered my tinting. I use a torch though and prefer bottom loading but can half and half. I'm excited.

Dude amazing video. Right to the point!!! Love it, huge help. Thank you and keep these videos coming.

Nice shop, good how you showed ways to save money starting your own shop. With your heat guns, use a cut down film core zip tied to the cord just above the plug with a notch in the top to create a holster for them. Looks better again, saves your guns, adds to safety, winning all around & costs 20c!

Good video I like the setup you have. We have heat lamps too and it's paid for itself 100x over. We are looking for a new building to move into because our current location is going to be a tear down soon from the property owners. (100yr old building)

question , are you buying that building ? or is there a lease you pay monthly ?

I can tell you had a deep bag 💰 and good influence to start, and you aiming to charge high,I rather be known for best prices that will bring more customers than the little things word of mouth is great advertising,the #1 thing that scares away a customer is high prices. fancy stuff in the shop won't get them to stay

Hi Edgar, you should start with a business license, which you would get locally. As you grow and add residential/commercial tinting you will want to look into getting a contractors license. We have actually just opened a new shop and are doing a case study on it. We will be showing every step of the process. Please subscribe so you get notified when we post those videos.

What company did you use to order your plotter? Curious about how you got one for 3000$ when i look at Graphtec plotters im seeing them for 10,000$ USD from third party vendors with no software or material even coming with it. Did you deal with Llumar direct, or did you use a third party vendor who sells their products?

I could be mistaken, but I believe we got ours at Fellers. That's where we get all our vinyl wrap supplies, etc. as well as our printers/plotters for our wrap department.

It's been around for 20 years and they're still using antiquated systems for work orders, inventory, scheduling, etc. I'm wondering if you've done a video with recommendations for handling the back office portion of the business. We've been looking at several POS systems(ShopMonkey, Clover, ShopBoss, Quickbooks) but still haven't decided on what the best option is for us. Any thoughts?
