Top 5 Fleet Vehicle Upgrades for Small Business Owners

June 18, 2018 By Staff

Tunes-N-Tint in Lakeland offers a variety of fleet vehicle upgrades and accessories. Whether you have a single delivery van or a fleet of service trucks, our solutions will improve the security and efficiency of your company vehicles. Let’s look at five of our most popular upgrades.

Vehicle Tracking and Locating Systems

Wouldn’t it be nice to know the exact location of your vehicles at all times? We have several options for GPS-based vehicle locating systems and advanced tracking systems. If you are after an on-demand locating solution, the Viper SmartStart system will allow you to look up the exact location of the vehicle on a computer or your smartphone at any time. If you have several vehicles, the StreetEagle system will monitor their location, with detailed reporting features for efficiency analysis.

Backup and Parking Camera Systems

Adding a backup camera to a truck or van gives your drivers the ability to see everything behind the vehicle when parking or maneuvering. We offer proven application-specific solutions from companies like Echomaster that will integrate with factory displays, and we can add custom monitor solutions for vehicles that don’t already have a screen. We can enhance our video systems with parking sensors that emit an audible beep when the vehicle is approaching an object.

Dash Camera Systems

Having a dash camera system in a vehicle provides you with indisputable evidence and protection against fraud. It has been proven that drivers operate company vehicles more efficiently and with increased safety when they know their driving behavior is being recorded. We stock the Kenwood DRV-310, DRV-410 and the DRV-N520 systems.

Spray-On Truck Bedliners

If your company owns a pickup truck used for delivering your products, a spray-on bedliner is the best protection available. Unlike rubber mats that can trap water and cause corrosion or plastic liners that shift and buckle, a spray-on liner becomes a part of your truck. Whether you are hauling a load of wood, bricks or just cardboard boxes, your truck bed will look better and last longer with a premium spray-on bedliner solution.

Window Tint

Delivery drivers are exposed to extreme amounts of UV each day. Ultraviolet rays are responsible for blemishes and wrinkles and is the leading cause of skin cancer. Window tint films from Tunes-N-Tint are an inexpensive way to protect you or your staff from the harmful effects of the sun. Our window tint films block up to 99 percent of the UV rays from the sun and will make the interior of your work vehicle much more comfortable.

Lakeland Client Chooses Premium Ford Fusion Window Tint Solution

May 8, 2018 By Staff

A client from here in Lakeland recently visited Tunes-N-Tint to inquire about a 2017 Ford Fusion window tint solution. He wanted tint that would help keep the interior of the vehicle cool without making the windows so dark that they would be hard to see through. After we showed the client a few of the tint films we carry, he settled on our premium 3M Crystalline solution.

Crystalline is a unique window tint in that it provides exceptional UV and IR rejection in a film that is amazingly clear. The client chose the CR40 film, which reduces glare by 55% while giving the car a classy look.

3M Crystalline CR40 blocks 99% of UV energy to protect the client and his passengers from the harmful effects of UV rays. CR40 also blocks 97% of the infrared energy from the sun that causes the interior of a vehicle to get hot.

Now that the client has his windows tinted, his vehicle will be cooler and the air conditioning system won’t have to work as hard.

Tunes-N-Tint’s Award-Winning History

November 13, 2017 By Staff

If you are in the Lakeland, Florida, area, then you have undoubtedly heard of Tunes-N-Tint. Our mobile enhancement business has been serving Central Florida for years. We thought it would be interesting to give our clients some insight into the history of the company and outline some of the services we offer.

Location History

Tunes-N-Tint started as a mobile installation company in Tampa in 2000. After much initial success, we decided in 2001 that it was time to open a retail facility to provide our clients and staff with a way to experience our products and services before purchasing. We grew quickly and had to find a second location for increased storage.

The next step was to open a second location in Lakeland in 2007. The Lakeland store also grew quickly, resulting in opening a third location in central Lakeland in 2009, and then a South Lakeland location in 2011.

In 2012, we made a significant change. We spun off the Tampa location into a separate company, changed our name to Tunes-N-Tint and consolidated the Lakeland locations into our single state-of-the-art store at 4980 US Highway 98N.

With ample parking, well-equipped installation bays and a showroom that features modern interactive displays, our current location is well-known as one of the top automotive accessory and restyling centers in the area.

Staff Training and Certification

A business is nothing without its staff. We have employed more than 100 technicians over the years and they have all been certified by the Mobile Electronics Certified Professional (MECP) program – the only nationally recognized program of its kind in our industry. Currently, all of our technicians are both MECP-certified and have their Automotive Service Excellence (ASE ) A6 Electrical and Electronic Systems accreditation. Almost all of our team members, including management and sales staff, share this same training.

Over the years, we have been part of the MERA, ICE, ME, CEA (now CTA), IWFA and MESA professional organizations. We are active in various industry groups and regularly collaborate with other successful retailers to expand our knowledge and service offerings.

While our name tells our clients about our most popular services, we are indeed a one-stop-shop for most automotive accessory, styling and entertainment upgrade solutions. Our showroom is equipped with individual displays that highlight our core offerings.

Investment in Facility Equipment

To be able to work efficiently, we have invested a great deal of money in equipment for our store. We have an in-house CNC-controlled laser cutter and a 3D printer and scanning system. Our woodworking area is equipped with a large table saw, multiple router stations, a wide variety of router templates and a complete dust collection system.

Since we began tinting in 2001, we have used computerized cutting to ensure each piece of window film fits your vehicle perfectly. We were one of the first companies in Florida to use computerized cutting. We also have an interactive display that demonstrates the thermal properties of the different films we offer.

Our Brand Partners

While installation and fabrication equipment and skills are paramount to providing our clients with exceptional upgrade solutions, our product partners are equally important. We have chosen brands for their balance of performance, value and reliability. Some of our key partners are Rockford Fosgate, JL Audio, Kenwood, Kicker, Pioneer, Viper, 3M and Rhino Linings.

Industry and Peer Recognition

We have been chosen as one of the Top 50 retailers by Mobile Electronics magazine for 10 years. We have made the Top 12 many times, several of our team members have been on the Top 50 and Top 12 lists for installers, and member of our team was voted as Rookie of the Year by Mobile Electronics magazine in 2016. We also won the coveted Best Store Presentation award in 2015.

3M Window Film Protects Your Skin From Sun Damage

April 28, 2017 By Staff

Tunes N Tint in Lakeland is proud to be a 3M Window Tint dealer because their products protect your skin from sun damage. 3M received the very first window film patent all the way back in 1966, way before anyone was thinking about getting their windows tinted. When you add in the incredible heat reduction possible, their products make for a winning combination.

3M Window Film and Your Skin

Have you ever noticed that your skin starts to get warm when you drive along the road for any length of time on a sunny day? Did you know that in many areas of the country, including Florida, studies show people who drive a lot see the skin on the left side of their bodies age faster? It’s true. Every time we get in our car, truck or SUV, the UV rays of the sun cause our skin to age prematurely.

The good news is our 3M window film blocks 99% of UV rays, so you can drive with confidence, knowing you are protected. Our window films have an SPF rating of up to 1,000, so you know they are good.

Endorsed by the Skin Cancer Foundation

Every year, we hear of more and more people developing skin cancer. Fortunately, adding a high-quality window tint from 3M will lower your risk of this devastating disease. The Skin Cancer Foundation believes in 3M window tint so much that they list it as one of their recommended products.

Incredible Heat Reduction

Obviously, it gets hot in Florida. Really hot. When you walk out to your vehicle on a hot, sunny day and open the car door, what happens? You feel a rush of hot air escaping and then you dread having to get in and drive. You know your body is going to start sweating immediately, your clothes are going to start sticking and your makeup is going to run. Not fun at all.

What if we told you our 3M Crystalline film blocks over 60% of the heat from entering your car, truck or SUV? It sure would be a lot cooler inside. Plus, your air conditioning system won’t have to work as hard to keep the vehicle climate controlled, giving you a more-efficient vehicle.

Glare Reduction

Our Crystalline film reduces glare by up to 77%, so the sun and oncoming headlights won’t impede your ability to see clearly and make smart driving decisions. In simple terms, you will see better.

Get a Consultation

The best way to experience the benefits you can gain by having Tunes N Tint install 3M window tint is by stopping by our store. We have an interactive demo that lets you feel the heat reduction instantly, so you know it will be a good investment. Let us show you why year after year, more people choose us.
