How Dealerships Are Adding $35,000–$50,000 in Annual Revenue by Bringing Tint, PPF & Ceramic Coating In-House

Across North America, forward-thinking dealerships—including Ford, Dodge, Jeep, and BMW stores—are quietly adding $35,000 to $50,000+ in new annual revenue by bringing Window Tint, Paint Protection Film (PPF), and Ceramic Coating services in-house.

The difference isn’t just the services themselves.
It’s training, process, and control—and that’s where The Tint Academy comes in.

The Missed Opportunity in Most Dealerships

Traditionally, dealerships rely on:

• Third-party vendors

• Mobile installers

• Sublet services with inconsistent quality

While this approach “works,” it comes at a cost:

• Lost margin

• Scheduling delays

• Inconsistent installs

• Limited upsell control

• No internal skill development

Meanwhile, customers are actively asking for tint, protection, and coatings at time of purchase.

Dealerships that bring these services in-house keep:

• 100% of the labor margin

• Full control of quality

• Faster vehicle turnaround

• A better customer experience

Where the $35K–$50K Comes From

Here’s how the numbers add up quickly:

Window Tint

• Average ticket: $300–$500

• Just 3–4 vehicles per week = $45,000+ annually

Paint Protection Film (PPF)

• Average partial PPF package: $800–$1,500

• 1–2 installs per week adds $40,000+ annually

Ceramic Coating

• Average ticket: $800–$1,200

• High-margin, low material cost

• Perfect upsell at delivery

Most dealerships already have the volume.
They just haven’t captured the revenue internally.

Why Brands Like Ford, Dodge, Jeep & BMW Are Doing This Now

• Increase per-vehicle revenue
