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.

Epilogue

Our journey is one of visionary growth, industry leadership, and the pursuit of perfection. As we continue to innovate and lead, our focus remains unshakable: to enhance your experience, protect your investments, and guarantee your absolute satisfaction. Join us on this transformative journey at Tap & Tint, Tap & Wrap, and Tap & Shine, where every interaction is a step towards a lasting partnership, and every service is a signature of unparalleled quality.

CORE VALUES

Our Guiding Principles for Excellence & Integrity

Choosing Tap And Shine is about more than just protecting your vehicle—it’s about aligning with a brand that values excellence as much as you do. 

Resourcefulness
Innovation stems from our ability to navigate challenges with creativity and efficiency. We pride ourselves on finding solutions where others see obstacles.
Solutions-First Approach
Our commitment is to solutions, not just services. We prioritize practical, pragmatic, and effective outcomes that genuinely meet our clients’ needs.
Educate, Educate, Educate
Knowledge is power. We empower our clients through education, turning complex decisions into simple, informed choices.
Reputation
Our reputation is crafted daily. Each job is a signature of our commitment, with excellence as our standard and your satisfaction as our benchmark.
Collaboration Over Competition
Collaboration is the cornerstone of domination. We harness collective strengths, believing that uniting efforts leads to superior results, while competition divides and diminishes potential.
Consultative Approach
We guide, we educate, we advise. Our approach is consultative, ensuring you make informed decisions without pressure, focusing on what truly benefits you.
Product Neutrality
Unlike most, we are not married to brands or products; we are dedicated to excellence. Our allegiance is to what is best in the industry—ensuring you always receive top-tier solutions.
Leadership Through Growth
Real growth is mutual. By fostering development in others, we create a community of leaders, propelling our industry and our clients towards greater achievements.
Meritocracy
Only the competent prevail. We maintain a high standard, believing that those who excel in their craft deserve recognition and success.
Integrity Over Profit
Our integrity is invaluable. No monetary gain could ever justify compromising our ethical standards. We do what is right, not what is easy.
Sacrifice for Excellence
Excellence requires sacrifice. We are committed to the discipline and dedication necessary to transcend ordinary limits.
Healthy Competition
Success does not require the downfall of others. We thrive by elevating our standards, not by diminishing others.
Learning from Mistakes
Mistakes are inevitable, but they are also invaluable - as long as the same mistake doesn't happen twice. We embrace them as opportunities to learn, ensuring that once corrected, they serve as stepping stones to greater precision and reliability.
