When the opportunity came along for Charles Bonfiglio to acquire Tint World® Automotive Styling Centers™ and transform the business model into a franchise system, he seized it.
“I built Tint World because when I was 21 years old, I loved the automotive aftermarket business. I found franchising, and there was no aftermarket franchise business, so I had to take the next best thing, which was another auto repair franchise,” explained Bonfiglio.
Bonfiglio’s dreams were finally realized in 2006 when he pursued the brand and formed Tint World, LLC, the company that would turn Tint World into a global automotive styling center.
Tint World specializes in window tinting, vehicle wraps, paint protection film installation, car audio and electronics, detailing and other aftermarket enhancements. The company caters to automotive enthusiasts looking to enhance the appearance, performance and functionality of cars, trucks, SUVs and other vehicles – by injecting individual personalities into their rides.
“I just built the franchise business that I always wanted as a franchisee, where anyone could be successful in opening a Tint World franchise,” Bonfiglio said.
But the other major incentive was Tint World’s high gross profit margins in an industry that is projected to reach $560 billion by 2026, according to the Auto Care Association.
“With Tint World, the gross profit margins of the products and services that we perform are higher than anything I’ve ever seen. Tint World has strategically positioned itself within the automotive aftermarket industry to provide entrepreneurs with the means to capture their share of the billions of dollars being spent annually on automotive accessories,” confirmed Bonfiglio.
And since the concept is highly unique, franchisees don’t have to contend with competitors outbidding them at every turn.
With over 150 locations and counting, Tint World offers a proven system and processes that support owners. International master franchise opportunities are available in all countries worldwide.
“It’s a fun business, it’s a profitable business and it’s a unique business. We don’t have a lot of competitors, and we’re growing faster than any franchise out there,” said Bonfiglio.
