Turbo Tint launched in 2020, introducing a fresh concept in the automotive and architectural window tinting industry. Based in Midlothian, Illinois, the brand was created through a collaboration with Greg Goodman, an experienced franchise owner of Moran Family of Brands’ Alta Mere operation in Oklahoma City.
Seeing the growing consumer demand for premium and convenient tinting services, Turbo Tint was designed to deliver an elevated, customer-focused experience.
Franchising opportunities opened in 2021, allowing business owners to tap into a booming industry with an efficient and well-structured system.
Turbo Tint specializes in automotive window tinting with transparent pricing, a seamless online purchasing platform, and fast installations typically completed in under an hour. The brand also offers residential and commercial window tinting services, along with automotive paint protection to shield vehicles from scratches, chips, and road debris.

Turbo Tint provides a structured and detailed training program to ensure their franchisees are well-prepared to run the business successfully. The training programs offered by the franchisor are outlined as follows:
Initial Training Program Turbo Tint requires franchisees to attend an Initial Training Program before opening their store. This training covers operational procedures, sales techniques, customer service standards, and system usage necessary to run a Turbo Tint store effectively.
Technician Training Program Franchisees must also ensure their technicians complete a mandatory Technician Training Program. This program focuses on technical skills, including automotive window tint installation, paint protection film application, and architectural window tint techniques.
Mandatory Outside Sales Development Program Franchisees are required to participate in a Mandatory Outside Sales Development Program. This program trains franchisees and their teams in local sales development strategies, helping them build relationships with local businesses and consumers to drive store traffic and revenue.
Territory Protection
Turbo Tint provides its franchisees with a limited form of territory protection under the Franchise Agreement. Each franchisee is typically granted a defined territory where no other Turbo Tint franchised businesses will be established without the franchisee’s consent.
This territory is usually based on specific geographic boundaries negotiated between the franchisor and the franchisee. However, Turbo Tint retains important rights even within a franchisee’s territory.
The franchisor may still engage in national marketing efforts, online sales, and other activities that could result in business within the protected territory. Therefore, while physical competition from another Turbo Tint location is restricted, franchisees must still compete against sales and services driven through digital and alternative channels authorized by the franchisor.
