## Story

The new Turbo Tint franchise is located at 3908 Central Sarasota Parkway.

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 offer 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, fading, and abrasion from rocks, pebbles, and debris from the road.

The new Turbo Tint store is owned by Venice, Florida, residents Jeremy and Amber Willeford. Jeremy Willeford joins Turbo Tint after a lengthy career in the civil construction industry, where he oversaw the creation of bridges, roads, and highways. After starting work out of high school, he spent 27 years in the field before making the switch to business ownership with Turbo Tint.

The store in Sarasota features three automotive tint bays, one paint protection bay, and a customer lounge. The pair plan on initially hiring two tint installers.

“As a locally owned and operated store, we are proud to be able to offer the latest customized tint packages for car owners in the area,” said Jeremy Willeford. “We are committed to providing quality service while making the installation process quick and convenient for our customers.”

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 very excited to expand into the west coast of Florida with the newest Turbo Tint store in Sarasota,” said Peter Baldine, President of Moran Family of Brands.

The new Turbo Tint store in Sarasota will operate Tuesday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
