Moran Family of Brands, one of the nation’s leading franchises of general automotive repair, transmission repair and window tint services, announced its newest franchise location with a Turbo Tint store in Austin, Texas.
The newest Turbo Tint franchise will open on Tuesday, May 16 and is located at 9711 Menchaca Rd. in Austin. It will be the fourth location in the country and the first in Texas. The first opened in Oklahoma City, OK in October 2020, followed by new stores in Delray Beach, FL in 2021 and Orlando, FL in 2022.
Earlier this year, Turbo Tint announced a new development agreement to bring the brand to the Las Vegas, Phoenix, Tucson and Houston markets. The company anticipates having 18-21 franchise locations operating by the end of the year.
Turbo Tint specializes in automotive and architectural window tinting solutions. Under the brand’s concept, customers can purchase a tint package and schedule an appointment online. When they arrive for service on their vehicle, they will only need to select their desired shade of window film. The entire installation process is completed in one hour or less.
In addition to automotive and architectural window tinting solutions, Turbo Tint locations also offers ceramic coating and paint protection services. Window tint options are available for residential or commercial buildings with the benefits of lower energy costs, excellent UV protection and increased comfort by preventing exposure to sunlight throughout the year. Paint protection services apply a thin protective film to maintain the condition of a vehicle’s exterior from damage due to scratches, chips, rust, fading and abrasion from rocks, pebbles, and debris from the road.
The new Turbo Tint store will be owned by Austin resident Luke Everson, who has a background in accounting and previously worked for PriceWaterhouseCoopers. When looking at various franchise opportunities, he was attracted to Turbo Tint’s superior products and commitment to customer comfort and service.
“Turbo Tint is an ideal fit for car owners in Austin looking to reduce the extreme heat and sun exposure we receive most of the year,” said Everson. “We offer a high-quality product with a fast and convenient service. The ecommerce service is perfect for Austin’s innovative and technological friendly market.”
All Turbo Tint locations feature a modern and spacious customer waiting area featuring oversized leather chairs, flatscreen TVs and computer workstations with free Wi-Fi in front of a cozy fireplace setting. While waiting for their tint installation, customers can enjoy complimentary premium coffee, beer, wine, soft drinks and snacks.
“We are thrilled to bring the first Turbo Tint franchise to the state of Texas with a fantastic location in Austin,” said Peter Baldine, President of Moran Family of Brands. “Luke has a valuable business and accounting background, and he and his team will establish a professional and efficient window tinting installation operation that delivers on a great customer experience.”
