Turbo Tint Delray Beach Shuts Down: A Former Employee Lights the Way for Stranded Customers
Delray Beach, FL – In a blow to South Florida's automotive community, Turbo Tint's Delray Beach location has officially closed its doors, leaving a trail of disappointed customers in its wake. The popular window tinting franchise, known for its quick one-hour services and ceramic film expertise, marked the end of an era at 145 S Congress Ave, Suite A1. But amid the uncertainty, a beacon of hope has emerged: a former Turbo Tint employee, Clinton Evans, has launched a mobile service to honor warranties, complete unfinished jobs, and keep the tints shining for those left in the dark.
Turbo Tint Delray Beach, which opened its doors in August 2021 under franchisee Erich Overhardt, quickly became a go-to spot for drivers seeking relief from Florida's relentless sun. Specializing in automotive window tinting, paint protection film, and even residential applications, the shop boasted high customer ratings on platforms like Yelp, with many praising its efficient process and lounge-like waiting area complete with snacks. However, recent updates confirm the location is now permanently shuttered, with its website teasing a vague "opening soon" message but no concrete timeline for revival. Customers who invested in lifetime warranties or scheduled appointments are now scrambling for alternatives, voicing frustration over unfulfilled promises and the hassle of starting over.
TintOnTheGo™️, a nimble mobile window tinting service company thats been in operations since 2012, is taking on Turbo Tint's closure. Founded by a seasoned technician who spent years honing his craft at TINT WORLD and Turbo Tint Delray Beach outpost, the business is stepping up to absorb the displaced clientele. "We've seen too many good people left high and dry," the owner shared in a recent statement. "Turbo Tint built a loyal base here, and it's our mission to keep that trust alive. We're honoring every warranty, finishing every job, and bringing the service right to your driveway."
TintOnTheGo™️ operates 100% mobile across Palm Beach, Broward, and Martin Counties, eliminating the need for customers to navigate traffic or wait in a shop. Using premium ceramic films, the service targets heat reduction, UV protection, and enhanced privacy—core offerings that echoed Turbo Tint's strengths. Automotive tints are computer-cut for precision, while residential and commercial options promise energy savings and added security. Pricing starts competitively, with a price-match guarantee on Groupon deals and a flexible "book now, pay later" model to ease the transition for former Turbo customers.
What sets TintOnTheGo™️ apart is its commitment to reliability in South Florida's unpredictable weather. Installations require a sheltered space like a garage during the rainy season (October through March), and the team skips stormy days to safeguard their $50,000 computer-cutting system. Customers simply need a power outlet—the techs come equipped with a 100-foot cord. Booking is seamless via 24/7 online scheduling, and free quotes are a call away at (561) 563-6440. Multiple base locations, including 180 NE 1st St in Delray Beach and in nearby Boynton Beach, ensure quick response times.
The closure of Turbo Tint isn't just a local loss; it's a reminder of the fragility in the franchise world. Overhardt, a former Chipotle executive who brought ambitious expansion plans to the brand, had eyed 16 locations across Southeast Florida. Yet economic pressures, rising material costs, and post-pandemic shifts in consumer habits have felled even well-oiled operations. For the everyday driver battling triple-digit heat indexes, though, solutions like TintOnTheGo™️ represent continuity and care.
As Delray Beach's tinting scene evolves, one thing is clear: innovation and customer loyalty endure. If you're a former Turbo Tint patron feeling the burn, reach out to TintOnTheGo™️ today. Your windows—and your peace of mind—deserve the upgrade.
