We feel that what is holding back the tinting industry is this “Trust” issue with local tint shops. Consumers do not feel comfortable with the window tint purchase decision despite the obvious benefits. Often times it is due to the perceived or real shadiness of the industry.

Our TintCenter site tries to handhold the customer in making this decision. Giving them advice and articles for reference, but most importantly offering a price quote feature that matches them up with local tint shops for car tint or home tint services.

We currently generate around 100-300 price quotes a day, depending on season, from around the country for car tint, paint, and home tint services. These customers receive price quotes from local tint shops that we regularly screen for quality and positive feedback.

If they have any questions, concerns, or complaints, TintCenter helps arbitrate and guide expectations. Often times it is a misunderstanding of what is “normal” and what is not. Sometimes we put pressure on the tint shop to do the right thing, sometimes we pressure the customer to understand that the “cloudiness” will fade in a week and not worry.

If a customer complaints are repeatedly not properly handled by a tint shop, we drop the tint shop from our price quote service. To our dismay, there are quite a few shops that don’t stand behind their work, so for many top 50 US cities we do not have tint shops to refer customers to. Though this trend seems to be improving as tint shops realize that internet spreads a bad reputation so quickly.

What is most important in deciding between tint shops? Reputation and positive reviews. TintCenter aims to guide customers to quality tint shops through the experiences of satisfied customers. We feel like this is the most accurate way to determine a quality shop.
