Antonio Mattei didn’t just convert a car wash into a Tint World® Automotive Styling Center™—he transformed lives in the process.
He’s an auto enthusiast and former professional window tint technician, so when he converted a former car wash in suburban Atlanta into a Tint World® Automotive Styling Centers™ location serving Tyrone, Georgia, he had a good idea of what he was getting into.
Besides, he even has up-close experience with the franchising world. For more than 20 years, his family has run multiple fast-food franchise locations.
One aspect of his new business did catch Mattei off guard.
“I can’t believe how fulfilling it’s been to watch this team develop and grow,” he said. “I didn’t expect to find this much satisfaction from that.”
Mattei made the decision to retain all the employees from the former car wash and train them to deliver Tint World’s full range of premium services. Less than a year after opening, he has three new certified window tint technicians and a thriving sales manager.
“A couple of them have said, ‘I thought I’d be washing cars all my life,’” Mattei said. “It’s been great to see the transformation. The incentive structure Tint World has set up really motivates people to be the best version of themselves.”
In addition to his team’s professional growth, he credits his own success as franchise owner to Tint World’s proven systems and processes.
“The franchise model offers benefits you can’t get as an independent small business owner, and Tint World has perfected that model,” he said. “It’s been a phenomenal experience right from the beginning. The training has prepared me for every situation and aspect of the business. On the few occasions I’ve needed extra help, I’ve been able to get in touch with someone from Tint World in just a few minutes. And I’ve never faced a situation that wasn’t quick and easy to resolve with their assistance.”
Trusting Tint World’s trusted, repeatable franchise systems and support ensures Mattei is having the experience he hoped for – and the unexpected bonus of boosting his team’s success!
