Yes! The Porta-Shop really does perform like a Brick & Mortar Shop. How? It's a very simple concept that started back in the 90's when we tinted dealership inventory. Dealerships would allow a service bay to be used for Aftermarket Accessories installations, such as tinting, gold plating, pin stripes, etc., but that presented a serious problem. The air would be contaminated with Airborn Particles, which made tinting inside the dealership work bays useless. Especially, in an environment such as Body Repair Shop! The solution was to find a location at the back of the Car Lot where there was no activity at all.

This presented a few more challenges: Shelter from the Sun, electrical power, shelter from wind, and the availability of tools & materials. This is where the "Mobile Concept" gave birth to the Porta-Shop. It's a portable, self contained environment, that's mounted on our full size van. It quickly became a valuable element in terms of Customer Convenience, Work Quality, Time Savings, Shelter and Privacy - because it seems that everybody is facinated by window tinting. Strangers would walk up to see what's going on, and at this point, it's "Q&A Time"! This means there's lost productivity and risk of making an error because of distractions. The Porta-Shop solved all of these problems. The Porta-Shop Was born May 1997!

The Porta-Shop has proven it's worth! It solved all the problems associated with being a Mobile Service, and maintains the level of usefulness that a Brick & Mortar Shop offers. However, it turned out to be a BIG WIN for our customers! Their vehicles could be tinted at their location without any special arrangements or disruptions. Now, that's Super Convenient!

• Nano-Ceramic IR98 Ultra-Performance Tint

Henceforth, we'll address some interesting facts about the Porta-Shop. It may seem like an idea that's easy to implement, but there's more to it! In theory, it's an easy "Idea", but there aren't any Industrial Providers of such a structure. The Porta-Shop is a custom built structure that cannot be bought at any Store. It's custom fabricated to fit the van that it rides on. This isn't something most Window Tinters view as a practical expense, but we beg to differ... because we pioneered this idea into reality, and have proven it to be a valuable asset for customer satisfaction! This means we deliver total convenience!

Our competition will argue endlessly that a mobile service can't give the same results as a Brick & Mortar Shop, and that doesn't matter! That argument ends when you compare Apples to Apples. This means we have a strong business model, and our competition knows it!

FIRST: The Porta-Shop protects the work area from wind and airborn debris. Airborn debris can be a problem in a Brick & Mortar Shop when there's more than one vehicle being tinted at the same time. The Porta-Shop will only cover ONE Vehicle at a time. This eliminates secondary activity as a potential source of contamination from garage doors opening and closing, or vehicles being started and moved during ongoing tint installations. This means we can maintain Quality Control by eliminating negative influences.

Second: Like a Brick & Mortar Shop, protection from the Sun's direct heat is achived. Tinting in direct sun light always causes concerns on a hot day. Also, adequate lighting is achieved inside the Porta-Shop by high intensity LED lighting without the use of power cords or hot drop lights. This means we don't have to be concerned about time restraints on applying the tint because of excelerated slip solution evaporation.

THIRD: A Brick & Mortar Shop usually accepts work on a "Drive-In" basis. Sometimes, a back-up in production may occur. If you have a busy day planned, work to do, need to get the kids to ball practice on time, or just hate waiting for your vehicle to be "Next" in line "Whenever Time Allows", we can Free Up your time for more important things!

Set an appointment for your Tint Installation, and relax! We'll install it at your location while you are Free to do whatever you want... not just wait to be "Next" and wait some more! This is the biggest benefit the Porta-Shop offers that Brick & Mortar Shops CAN'T Compete with... 100% COVENIENCE! This means you ARE NOT "Held Hostage" because you want to get your tinting done Today!

FINALLY: Think of the Porta-Shop this way... It offers more benefits than a Brick & Mortar Shop, it comes to you at your convenience, the results are just as good as ANY Brick & Mortar Shop, and your installer is one of the Best in the business that backs his work with a Guarantee.

The money saved by SOMD Sun Control, from NOT over paying for an expensive warehouse, allows us to pass that savings on to you! Saving as much money as you can, and getting a Top Quality Tint Product is the most important goal, right? This means we have your Best Interest in mind!
