Why this beats a generic job board:
every card knows whether the pre-inspection is signed. A job cannot move to In Bay without one —
that single rule is what stops the "it was already scratched" argument before it starts.

TintBoss knows a GR Corolla hatch has 7 glass panels including the liftgate, and applies a
1.15× difficulty modifier for the steep rear glass. Generic field-service software makes you guess.

"Devin did the PPF on my C8 and I honestly can't tell it's
there. They showed me photos of two rock chips that were already on the hood before they started which
I appreciated — no surprises. Worth every penny."
◈ AI DRAFTED
Ryan — thank you! Devin takes real pride in edge work on the C8 front end, and documenting existing condition up front is just how we do things. Enjoy the Corvette, and bring it by anytime for a warranty check. — Apex Tint & PPF, Pittsburgh

"Third vehicle I've had done here. Fast, clean, and they
text you the warranty paperwork instead of handing you a receipt that gets lost."
◈ AI DRAFTED
Sarah — three vehicles in and still choosing us means a lot. Everything's stored in your account, so if you ever need that warranty certificate again it's one search away. See you with number four.
