Blog Editor | Published on September 24th, 2019

When it comes to getting the perfect tint job for your vehicle it's not only important for you to choose the right glass and tinting shop. Also, you need to choose one that is fully versed and dedicated to full compliance with the sometimes complicated Nevada state law. Nevada is very concerned with window tinting. The main issue you have as a vehicle owner is that any violation that arises from the tinting on your windows is your responsibility. This includes the responsibility of the shop that did your tint job. Law enforce will put the burden on you. Some tint shops will use materials that are cheaper for them to use. They won’t give a second thought to the fact that they are not compliant with our state’s window tint laws. Let’s take a moment to look at some of the legal limits that you need to keep in mind when regarding tinting for your vehicle windows. The Magic Number When it comes to window tinting in the state of Nevada, the rear windows may be tinted as dark as you would like.

Why Does My Tint Have Bubbles?

Teran Marsell | Published on August 23rd, 2019

There is perhaps nothing more annoying than having paid good money for a custom tint job that the mechanics botch. That tint that looked so good when you picked up the car or truck from the shop now looks horrid and embarrassing. Why? Because it has bubbled up after a few days or weeks! Window Tint Bubbles A bubbled window or car tint is not the same as soap or plastic bubbles. Soap bubbles are fun for kids, while plastic bubblewrap protects packaging. When tinting bubbles, that means the mechanic did not attach it correctly. It is so frustrating to pay for a service that should be problem-free and then realize that you have to fix these issues. Even worse, you could have easily prevented the dreaded bubbling. If only the service provider had taken the time and effort to care about quality and workmanship. Now that you have a tint job that is bubbled you may be wondering what you can do about it, but more so you might be wondering why you have tint bubbles in the first place. Let's take a look at what could have caused your tint to bubble. Then we can explain how it can be avoided with...

Promoting Your Las Vegas Business with Vehicle Wraps

Teran Marsell | Published on August 20th, 2019

Are you a small, local business looking for inexpensive ways to advertise and build brand awareness? Or are you a highly mobile business where your employees spend lots of time driving company vehicles around town? If either profile fits your company, then you may want to take a moment to learn more information about a powerful and highly effective marketing tool. Hundreds of businesses just like you put this business to good use in the greater Vegas area: vinyl vehicle wraps. Vehicle wraps use a type of technology that was developed more than 25 years ago. Initially, the process decorated easter eggs, as peculiar as that sounds. The shrink polymer vinyl conforms to the shape of any surface perfectly. Afterward, the material grips onto it tightly without the use of strong adhesives. The use of this material for full vehicle wrapping started being a major phenomenon for businesses around 15 years ago. Since then, the popularity of vehicle wraps has grown exponentially. Many Americans report remembering the ads they see impressed onto car doors and fenders. Only The Best Car Wraps Vehicle wraps are an excellent and cost-effective way to promote your business and can transform a business or personal vehicle into a moving...

Why Is My Vinyl Vehicle Wrap Peeling Off?

Teran Marsell | Published on August 9th, 2019

A stunning new vinyl car wrap doesn’t just catch the eye. The design can also increase the car’s value if you want to resell or rent it out. Take good care, and a well-maintained wrap has a lifespan of up to seven years. That’s nearly a third of a car’s lifetime on the road, assuming you take good care of your vehicle. Even so, you have to prepare for when the durable wrap decides to feel its age. Peeling is one vital concern. You don’t want the wrap to peel and damage the car unnecessarily. Even so, you may see the wrap aging and would rather handle it proactively. By this, we don’t mean handling it yourself, but rather letting a professional implement a removal process. Certain factors will cause the wrap to peel and potentially damage your paint job. Here are a few examples of problems you should be aware of to help you extend your wrap’s lifetime and maximize its potential. Surface Issues Before applying a vinyl wrap, the installer will prep the car. This involves a complete inspection, making note of any potential trouble areas or flaws. These flaws include scratches and dents to the car’s body. Then they will begin...

Teran Marsell | Published on August 5th, 2019

What is a driver-assist system? This is perhaps one of the most common questions that we get in the shop when we have a new customer come in.

Windshield Calibration Services in Las Vegas

Teran Marsell | Published on July 25th, 2019

Cars have advanced in technology over the years. That means that repairs have become more complicated and costly. We have to educate ourselves on what we need to repair or maintain, especially when working with new cars. By “new,” we mean cars that have been made after 2015. It is highly likely that if you purchased a car after this year, then your insurance may have become more complicated. Due to new regulations, cars made after 2014 must be fitted with rear-view cameras by the year 2018. These cameras are intended to prevent accidents that blind spots can cause. This equipment is part of an Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), which are meant to increase safety when driving. When you have one of the newer car models, chances are you have a windshield outfitted with cameras and sensors because of these laws, and because car manufacturers want to keep their customers alive. Let’s say that you are driving down the highway. Out of nowhere, someone switches lanes without signaling and damages your windshield. After you check everyone in the car to make sure that you are not hurt, you have a problem. The windshield needs repairing. But simply replacing a sheet of protective...

ADAS Calibration Process and Cost

Teran Marsell | Published on July 11th, 2019

Advanced driver assistant systems (ADAS) are meant to lead drivers and passengers into the future. Devices such as automatic brakes and camera sensors take the burden of responsibility off the driver and help to make snap decisions when the road or rules of perception don’t cut it. We may see a rapid decrease in accidents and crashes. This all sounds great. Despite this promising news, we have to proceed with caution. All technological advancements have a price. By that we don’t mean the metaphorical price of letting a computer and sensor assist with the decision; we are literally concerned with the costs of ADAS technological installation and repairs. In addition, we want to talk about what features are available and what calibrations or adjustments they require. Current ADAS Features We may see cars that drive themselves, once Google works out the kinks in their self-driving vehicles. For now, however, ADAS features are much smaller in scope but can still increase safety on the road. They account for human error because many crashes occur due to drivers making mistakes. There are 33 known ADAS features. They include automatic parking, anti-lock braking systems, cruise control, parking and traffic sensors, and turning assistants. Each feature is meant to...

How Much Money Should You Be Spending on Vinyl Vehicle Wraps in Nevada?

Teran Marsell | Published on June 20th, 2019

When it comes to calculating the cost of a vehicle wrap, you may be tempted to only look at the cost of the wrap and the installation fee. That is a short-sighted decision. These factors are only part of the equation. You also need to calculate in the value of the wrap in terms of marketing exposure for the long term, and of course, the value of the protection that the wrap provides to your vehicle. You should also note that this is not one of the times when you should trust the project to the lowest bidder. Getting a vehicle wrap on your fleet vehicles should always be done with a mind for quality. After all, not only does this wrap represent you in the form of the main image many will see of your company day in and day out, but the cost of a shoddy wrap, in terms of repair, replacement, and/or removal can significantly impact your marketing budget. With that in mind, here at Team Acme, we strive to provide the highest quality of service and to provide our customers with superior vinyl vehicle wraps for all of their vehicles. We have worked with customers to do wraps for...
