I wrap cars, I don't book anyone until I get a deposit. I've done it before without a deposit, ordered vinyl and it was a no go from the client (spending $$$ on vinyl and no work)... so yeah, now I only take deposits.
Absolutely! I found that you can generally tell which one's were tyre kicking by the silly extra questions they "pad" the conversation with. If a person is serious they'll be more than happy to pay a deposit 💯
I typically have all my clients for the day drop their cars off first thing in the am. The stress of managing late/early/waiting customers is not worth it to me.
i do the same bro. i cant stand waiting customers, even if theyre chill and just sit in the waiting room watching the tv, it still puts a weird pressure on me. i let everyone know that my jobs take longer but come out cleaner than any shop around here. ive only had 1 redo in the past year so its worked out really well.
I like drop offs the best, I hear ya on time. I have a fair amount of people wait because they didn't or can't get a ride so I wonder how many of thoes people wouldn't book with me for that reason. i might end up doing this as I get busier
In my previous business I was forced, by no shows, to start taking a pre payment. I fought it for a long time thinking I would run off my loyal clients. Not only did my repeat clients not mind pre paying, I was able to put paying clients in the slots of those who would have been no shows when they balked at paying up front. Whenever we had an objection My employees, or I, would say something like: "I know you wouldn't stand us up but, unfortunately, enough people do that it ends up wasting a lot of time that could be used for something else."
Ordered some tools to continue learning how to tint better and hopefully start doing this as second income. Your videos have helped me gain confidence to start doing it and hopefully I can get that good to maybe one day have a fully functional tint shop.
I do wrap and tint. For wrap i take 50% deposit , for tint i don't. Last week two clients didnt show up and i waste time and money. Its amazing how much stupid and unresponsable people is around us. It's not often but i have that problem sometimes.
I only work with deposits now. It's seriously cleaned up my time management and energetic investments on projects. When someone puts down a deposit I can justify spending as much time as I want on it depending on the complexity. If there's no deposit, I pretend the conversation never happened. I charge $50 for the design consultation; 50% up front, 50% before final delivery of the service or good. The design consultation is non-refundable and covers 30-60 minutes of my time, but if they go through with the purchase it's added into the up front cost.
I've dealt with no-shows too. Requiring deposits kinda worked but there was also some issues. I've currently switched to a first come, first basis and if anyone insists on having an appointment, I need full payment upfront. I can't pay employees if customers flake out
I think deposits are a good idea. It's like doing a quote for an electrical job and charging an hour to come out a do a quote and including that in the bill if they hire you for the job. There's a little more of a commitment to it, and if they are really serious and not just wasting your time, then they won't mind. I've gone out on a quote before, and the guy was just pumping for information on how to do it and had no intension on hiring the company I was working for at the time! I think it keeps thing real!
Hey where did you get that flooring in your shop? It’s soooo pretty. Way cleaner than any other shop I’ve seen. Your shop in general is beautiful, but I would really like to copy your floor if that’s ok w you ❤
Generlly i can tell, if they ask too many questions i know they're just serching and comparing. When someone is decided generally just asks the relevant questions, which level, type, time and cost. that's it. But if someone doesn't show up, i call the next clients in my book "hey a space became available sooner, does it work for you?"..and many times they apreciate it.
Hey man your channel has helped me tinted my own car and now im hoping to start learning how to do it to make money at 17. Need to build up some more skill first, but how do I do that?
@@kbmrlvids buy rolls of film from walmart or autozone and tint as many family members cars as possible. Ot is very cheap to learn this way. Once done with the car tear it off and do it again
After you put the tape on the back window, when you go to cut it are you actually cutting in the middle of the tape or do you cut it to the edge as best yo can?
I shoot for the middle but if I need to cut slimmer I'll cut closer to the edge. it's up to how much space I have on the inside of the window. most times I have more than enough space to if I accidentally did wider, it would be fine

@@DetroitTintStudio maybe a cheap loan car could fix that for you Matt?
@@DekGT5mad That's a whole other issue and headache
I also stay and wait since the tint shop is a 1 hour drive.

I’m dealing with this a whole lot! This is so helpful
EXACTLY! When you plan to get a tat, you pay a "deposit" for the artists time....

yea most places I've tinted has been like this. it seems to work better after you gain a much larger customer base so u never really run out of work.
Thanks for your video. Just wanna ask where can I get dos tape like can I find them on eBay as I am in Australia thanks
Hey man your channel has helped me tinted my own car and now im hoping to start learning how to do it to make money at 17. Need to build up some more skill first, but how do I do that?
i know practice but once i do my own car what else can I do. Im uneasy about doing other peoples incase i mess something up.

How much deposit do you ask for?
Yo when u gonna have more glass aid tape out for sale
Curious to where you're located and how do I possibly make an appointment? The deposit won't be a issue if not to far from me. Thanks!
Nvm got the info in the description 🤙
great video!
