How Becoming a Distributor Is a Win-Win For JBT and Our Clients

As a consumer who visits one of our 14 locations for your vehicle tint installation, you may not know or care about where our product comes from how we price our products or services — or, even that we have locations beyond your own backyard! However, over at Jet Black Tint and Glass, we are working hard to dominate the industry and become the leaders in vehicle tints far beyond California’s Bay Area. One of the best ways we’ve devised to achieve these lofty goals is to carry and install our own products, create our own technicians, empower our DIY clients, and have our products available for other shops to carry and install. How do we go about transforming goals into results? First, we grow tint technicians from average people in our tint school. Next, we cater to the consumer who wants to have a hands-on experience with window tinting by creating our own pre-cut DIY static tint. And, last, but certainly not least, we become producers and distributors of our own tint products! After all, who better to create a product than the folks who install it? While we continue to grow, the question for the individual consumer becomes “how does this benefit me?” We are glad you asked! In today’s post, we’ll share a few insider secrets and how JBT becoming a distributor benefits our customers and our company.

From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leaders

Here at Jet Black Tint Distribution, we got our start as a single tint shop. Through grit, thick elbow grease, superior customer service, savvy business knowledge, problem-solving skills, and a determination to fix things and expand as far as the sun touches, we built a foundation of trust, growing our business exponentially. We franchised into multiple locations — 14 at the time of this publication — and expanded our service menu to include much more than just window tint. In fact, we are known as the exotic car customization company of choice, featuring options that include custom car wraps, paint protection film, headlight tinting, and platinum auto detailing that blows manufacturing plants out of the water. One of our biggest flexes is facilitating national technician training centers and tint schools that allow us to breed skilled tint technicians to work our locations and find careers at tint shops across the United States. 

One of the biggest barriers to growth we’ve encountered ourselves and continue to hear from other shops is how the cost of products is eating them alive, gnawing holes in their bottom line that require these locally owned shops to either pass the bill on to their customers or close their garage doors for good. Unfortunately, we’ve seen the latter all too often. We understand the heartache of trying to find not only reliable tint film but a film that can be shipped in a decent timeline to meet customer demands before they move on. We solved the problem for ourselves and our customers and are here to offer solutions for others as a wholesale distributor. 

What does that even mean, you ask? Well, we manufacture our own tint film in addition to partnering with global tint conglomerates to distribute window film to tint shops everywhere. We sell bulk vehicle window tint in a variety of options to tint shops at wholesale pricing. We are proud to be the only tint distribution center that offers financing to small business owners with no minimum purchase. With warehouses full of high-quality products at production pricing, we can offer our clients — local tint shops — wholesale pricing to stock their shelves. What that means for you as the consumer is that your local tint shop can have your tint in stock when you need it, at a price you can afford. Better yet, at a price they can afford. This keeps business running and quality technicians employed. 

Large or Small, We Partner With Them All!

We understand what it’s like to be a small car tinting company — we’ve been there. We started with nothing more than a single shop and a passion for cars. We understand the struggles of stocking a shop with high-quality tint film at a price small businesses can afford. That’s exactly why we created Jet Black Tint Distribution. As our brand has grown throughout the Bay Area, we’ve learned how to cut overhead costs while providing the best service to our customers. We’ve learned the lessons and are eager to pass the lessons — and savings — on to all small tint shops.

Stretching our reach beyond the Bay Area has allowed us to significantly cut our costs, make industry connections that other tint shops don’t have, and help build other businesses. Breaching these other avenues has anchored us as a staple within the industry and allows us to pass the knowledge, skills, and savings on to our partners and customers. So, for you, our loyal Jet Black customer, our becoming a distributor is a win-win for our company and your vehicle. To learn more about everything we can offer you, check us out online.
