The results speak for themselves.

The Challenge: Outsourcing Was Leaving Money on the Table

Like many dealerships, Jonathan’s locations relied on third-party vendors for window tinting. While outsourcing seemed convenient, it came with downsides:

• Limited control over scheduling and quality

• Inconsistent turnaround times

• Lost profit margins on a high-demand add-on service

Customers wanted tinting, sales teams wanted faster delivery, and management wanted a better way to capture that revenue.

The Solution: The Tint Academy Dealership Program

Jonathan partnered with The Tint Academy to implement a fully in-house window tinting solution designed specifically for dealerships. The program provided:

• Professional technician training

• Proven dealership workflows

• Guidance on pricing, packages, and upselling

• A scalable system that works within dealership operations

Instead of relying on outside vendors, Ford Truck Dealerships were now able to control the entire tinting process—from sales to installation.

The Results: 70+ Vehicles Per Month, Minimum $499 Per Vehicle

After bringing tinting in-house, Jonathan’s dealership quickly ramped up production and consistency. Today, they are servicing a minimum of 70 vehicles per month, each at no less than $499 per vehicle.

That translates to:

• $34,930+ in monthly tint revenue

• Over $419,000 annually from a single in-house service

• Higher margins compared to outsourced tinting

• Faster delivery times for customers

• Increased satisfaction and perceived vehicle value

And that’s just the baseline—without factoring in peak months or additional upgrades.

Why It Works

The key to Jonathan’s success wasn’t just adding tint—it was adding a system. The Tint Academy Dealership Program is built to integrate seamlessly into dealership operations, allowing sales teams to confidently offer tint packages while technicians deliver consistent, high-quality results.

For truck dealerships especially, window tinting is a natural upsell. Customers expect it, value it, and are willing to pay for it when it’s presented properly.

A Model for Dealership Growth

Jonathan’s success story is proof that bringing window tinting in-house isn’t just a service upgrade—it’s a strategic business move. With the right training, processes, and support, dealerships can:

• Increase per-vehicle revenue

• Reduce reliance on third-party vendors

• Deliver a better customer experience

• Build long-term, scalable profit centers

For Ford Truck Dealerships in Ontario, the decision to partner with The Tint Academy has turned window tinting into a reliable, high-margin revenue stream—and a blueprint for other dealerships looking to do the same.
