ORIGIN STORY
Our Journey: From Humble Beginnings to Unprecedented Growth
Welcome to a tale of determination, innovation, and unwavering commitment to excellence. Our journey at Tap & Tint, Tap & Wrap, and Tap & Shine (Tap And Tint / Wrap / Shine) is not just about protecting vehicles and properties — it’s about pioneering change and setting new standards in the protective films & coatings service industry.
A Vision Realized Through Rapid Growth
From our inception, the objective was clear: redefine the standards of the automotive protection industry. This wasn’t just about providing services; it was about creating an unparalleled client experience. Such ambition fueled our rapid expansion, outgrowing two facilities within just 15 months. This explosive growth was not merely a measure of success but a clear indicator of the trust and endorsement from our clients.
Strategic Expansion Into a New Realm
Our journey led us to the premises formerly known as Precision Auto Films. We moved into this location as we had outgrown our previous shop. 11 months in, we’ve yet again moved to a bigger shop. These transitions were more than a change of location—they were strategic enhancements of our operational capacity. In this new chapter, we amalgamated a wealth of over 35 years of industry experience with a team whose selection criteria were as rigorous as they were passionate about their craft.
Setting Industry Standards
In Alberta, our trailblazing initiatives have set new benchmarks. We introduced the simple yet revolutionary concept of complimentary 2-way Uber rides, transforming convenience into a core service feature. Our promise extends beyond service delivery to ensuring complete satisfaction, underscored by Alberta’s only 100% money-back guarantee.
Icon Rocklear: A Paradigm Shift
The introduction of Icon Rocklear was not merely an addition to our offerings—it was a strategic decision to elevate the quality and durability expected in our industry. We were the pioneers in Calgary & surrounding areas, the first to bring this superior technology to the Alberta market, further solidifying our position as industry leaders.
Unified Excellence Across Three Brands
Tap And Tint specializes in automotive and property window tinting, delivering precision and protection that enhances both aesthetics and functionality.
Tap And Wrap, on the other hand, focuses on Paint Protection Film (PPF) and countertop protection film, safeguarding your most valuable assets with unmatched durability.
Meanwhile, Tap And Shine excels in the application of advanced coating solutions, ensuring your vehicles and surfaces not only shine but also receive the ultimate barrier against wear and tear.
Together, these distinct branches unite under a single ethos of excellence, providing comprehensive protection tailored to your needs.
A Culture of Client-Centric Success
Our reputation is built on a foundation of tangible results and client testimonials. Each detailed, 5-star review we receive is not just a validation of our work but a cornerstone of our ongoing commitment to excellence. Our 100% Money Back Guarantee isn’t just a policy—it’s a declaration of our confidence in our work and our commitment to your satisfaction.
