Four years later, Tailored Auto Styling has built a reputation for providing an exceptional customer experience for clients ranging from luxury car owners to commercial vehicle fleets.

In our interview, Anthony will explain why organization and simplicity are key for a small business, and how he developed and implemented processes at Tailored Auto Styling to keep it growing steadily.

I actually started my vinyl wrapping business in the garage but we’re still building and fairly new. Main focus is motorcycles with a long term goal of MAYBE getting into cars
Super fascinating and gets the business start up brain gears going, thanks for the thought out investigating interview questions and thanks to him for for sharing some of the sauce. Sharing the cost of tools materials and numbers with margin and profit over the years is some mighty mighty helpful info while watching. Just curious at 4:56, did he mean he doesn't like to do commercial jobs? is that because it's so fast paced and maybe stressful?
I’m glad people finally get to see how profitable the car customization or protection game is! Half the time you DONT need a college degree 📜 just the knowledge and experience and you can start anywhere ! Love ❤️ this channel
You don't need a degree! I've preached this for years. Dedication and passion will get you very far.
@@TailoredAutoStyling love to see your success man! Glad you were transparent on numbers as wel
@@ThatFlyGuy98 Thank you! Too many people are afraid to share them when its what drives a successful system. The more you know, and understand the more we all can be successful together.
@@TailoredAutoStyling hey I loved your honesty and willingness to help people! You’re truly my mentor! I have a question, so im a 18 year old kid, and I don’t have responsibilities that I need to worry about or that are holding me back! I’ve been thinking of opening a wrap shop my self for about 2-3 months and have a question about licensing. So what are the exact licenses you would need to open up a shop. And what are some things you would warn me on or advise me on as a young person who wants to open a wrap shop?
Not only did I learn something new, but I want to become a customer!!

Yup, my car is wrapped, but was done in a driveway by me and my friends which resulted in other people wanting wrap and work done on their cars. So I’d say a shop is soon to come
Go for it Nicked!
Good video bro

Well explained
Thanks for watching Anthony!
Great Video 5 Starts. What was the large format (60 inch) printer name in this video 7.35? Thx

@@UpFlip im good, thanks!
I want to know how do I get a vinyl wrap maker and how to make custom colors and cool designs.
You guys should make a video about a bounce house business

What kind of printer is that huge ass one. I always wondered what kind of printer is used to print onto vinyl. Is it a certain kind of printer. Or is it just a huge inkjet or laser printer???
Ugh I really wanna start this,
Yeap my 2019 JEEP SRT has a great Wrap I get asked about it often
Cool Big knoc. Where did you get it done?
Hi I’m 33 and been wanting to set up a business like this for years but just always something got in the way now I am ready and on the path just waiting to do a course to learn but I’m worried is it to late to be successful
It's not too late! You can do it :)
is this a franchise ?? I'm very interested in putting this business in my town
I want to start wrapping but I have no experience do they only hire people with experience?
They might consider training you in car wrapping as an intern. Never hurts to reach out and ask!
How long does the rap last On the vehicle ??
Going to wrap my 1996 Buick Century wagon ..the small one without the wood sides. it will be my 1st wrap but it's going to be good. then a lite window tint and a set of wheels boom ....lol look up this wagon you all will laugh but it will be an epic change .
That’s a really cool business especially being around all those beautiful cars all day. I’m trying to start a business making custom golf cart seats. I would love to talk to you guys!
Send us an email Epic Golf! This is a great idea. How long have you been in the business?
@@UpFlip Thanks for responding. I’ve been in business for 4 years now. I’m just a one man show and have the desire make a UA-cam channel showing other people how to make seats. I have a lot of questions!! I’ll send you an email shortly!!
This is great I wonder if Taylored would be willing to mentor me? I’m local and would love to learn and be able to open a shop. I’m really tired of my current job and would much rather work for myself.
Never hurts to reach out and ask.
Dont have a car still but when i do i'm gonna wrap it myself, put some nice stickers 1,57m on my partner his car and so my car will be done too, starting a business and not gonna give up since i love doing it💪😁
Awesome Jenjen! Will you start a car wrapping business as well?
@@UpFlip eventually, i also press clothes and do small stickers for now, so i honestly am starting the same way as the guy in your video, and in my country there arn't a lot of car wrappers that i'm aware of so looks like a good opertunity
This is my dream job
You can do it Matt!
I'm recommended this channel to you bro, those guys can't wrapped vehicles, UA-cam yannimize and you will see proper wrapped 👍
We will check it out.
Where could I purchase supply for vinyl wrapping?
I would check Amazon, Ebay, Etsy, Alibaba, Local Wholesale Auto Supply Companies, Large National Printing supply companies
Metro Restyling!
Fellers.com, Rvinyls, Metro Restyling, Regional Supply. If you’re wanting any quality materials and supplies, strongly recommend avoiding Amazon/EBay/Etsy/Alibaba. 3M and Avery Dennison can get you set up for success, just reach out an contact a local rep.
the presenter is perfect
Justus is an awesome host!
Was wondering how is pricing based on .
Where are you from
Where is this business located
Thanks for watching Michael. It's located in WA. Is this the first video you've seen on the channel?
I want to know how I should go about getting into auto wrapping?
Thanks for the question RC LOCOS. 😀Start with researching this industry in your area pricing to operate etc. Have you started your business plan?
@@UpFlip no I have not I'm n appliance technician and in the process of starting an appliance business but automotive is my true passion an once I have a little foundation to work with I'm going to start with my own cars to get a feel for it. But that's what I wanted to know because I know wrapping a car once I do it a few times I'm sure I'll get the hang of it I'm a quick learner but pricing is what I really need to know how to do so that's the first thing I'll research once I start my plan, thank you so much for your advice.
I live in New York City and I thought that since I live in New York City since it’s a major city that home depot does that.!
I guess it’s all over the country because I can’t find nobody in Home Depot to help me everybody with the orange versus walks by me be like oh I don’t work in this area
Vest
I wonder what’s the lifespan of those wraps
Probably 3-5 years

So, how do I start a car wrapping business?
Read our blogs and watch our videos Greg!

Thanks for watching Muhammad! Are you currently in the automotive industry?

Are you related to Simeon Panda
Simeon P. is one fit man.
All Glory to God , i like ur vibe bro very professional buissness
Thanks for watching!
Hey thanks alot. Please tell me something. You are my mentor please just say hi to me
Hi Jeremiah, nice to meet you! Thanks for supporting the channel.
I can never understand why companies thinks it's okay to promote their company on your car for FREE. I just paid you $5k for a color change. Now, you want me to put your brand on my car?!?!? No thank you.
Very good point Treyton and we imagine every client will feel different about this topic.
I have noticed lots of auto body shomps, Motorsports shops and window tint shops do this as well, from past experience it can be helpful for when you need something redone and you don't have your receipt
Why would you spend $5K to change from silver to light grey? Good grief!
For some people this "subtle" difference make a huge impact! ☺️
Who would want any graphics from that wrap shop when their website is posted at the bottom of it? You might as well get rhinoplasty and put the doctor's name on a tattoo right on your face.
The wrap does not have to come with the website, logo or name. The cars you mostly see with the website are the car wrapping business owners cars and used to advertise the business.
@@UpFlip Ah, okay. The cars do look nice, I will give them that.
DAMNIT!!!!! THAT FD RX7!!!!! 😢😢😢😢🥺🥺🥺🥺 why didn’t that drunk driver hit someone else!!!!! I almost had my car wrapped. But 2 days before I got it wrapped. I was sideswiped buy a drunk driver in a F$£king VW BUG!!! And he hit my 95 FD RX7!!!!! ASSS HAT!!!!
