Additional Charges & Add-On Prices in Adelaide

Most quotes from Tint Bros are straightforward, but some jobs need a little extra work to get the best possible result, think paint correction before a wrap, custom artwork for a fleet design, or a same-day turnaround for an urgent job. This page breaks down the additional charges that may apply on top of your core service quote, so there are no surprises when you book in.

These add-ons aren't automatically included in every job. Your technician will only recommend and quote for an add-on if your vehicle or project genuinely needs it, and you'll always be told the cost before any extra work goes ahead.

Additional Charges & Add-On Prices

Some of these, like Fleet Consultation, are offered at no cost as part of scoping a larger job, while others, like Same-Day Service and Weekend Installation, are time-based surcharges applied on top of your base quote for scheduling outside standard hours.

Please note: the prices listed above are estimates only. Final pricing varies depending on your vehicle's condition, the scope of the primary service being booked, and how many add-ons are combined into a single job. Contact Tint Bros for an accurate, obligation-free quote based on your specific requirements.

Breaking Down the Most Common Add-Ons

Paint Correction removes swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation from your paint before a wrap, PPF, or ceramic coating is applied. It's one of the most commonly recommended add-ons, since coating or wrapping over damaged paint locks in those imperfections rather than fixing them.

Surface Preparation covers the cleaning, decontamination, and degreasing needed to give any film or coating the best possible surface to bond to. Vehicles with heavy road grime, wax build-up, or old adhesive residue typically need more prep time, particularly after a wrap removal.

Design Service and Custom Artwork apply when you want an original graphic, logo layout, or fleet branding design created from scratch, rather than applying a template or existing design file to your vehicle.

Premium Vinyl Upgrade lets you step up to a higher-grade vinyl brand or specialty finish beyond the standard material included in your base quote, useful if you want extended durability or a specific premium look.

Chrome Delete, Badge Removal & Refit, and Door Handle Removal are detail-focused add-ons that involve carefully removing trim pieces so film or vinyl can be installed cleanly underneath, then refitting everything to a factory-clean finish.

Same-Day Service and Weekend Installation are scheduling surcharges for jobs booked outside our standard workflow, reflecting the adjusted staffing and priority handling required to meet a tighter timeline.

What Affects Additional Charges

• Vehicle and paint condition more contamination, oxidation, or damage increases prep and correction time.
• Scope of the primary service add-ons are often priced relative to the size of the main job they support.
• The number of add-ons combined bundling several add-ons into one visit can sometimes reduce overall labour costs compared to booking them separately.
• Turnaround time requested for same-day and weekend bookings carry a scheduling premium.
• Design complexity, original artwork and multi-element designs take longer than adapting an existing template.

Why These Charges Exist

Add-on pricing exists so that every customer only pays for what their specific vehicle or project actually needs. Rather than building the cost of paint correction, premium vinyl, or rush scheduling into every quote by default, Tint Bros assesses your vehicle and timeline individually and only applies these charges where they're genuinely required. This keeps our core service pricing competitive while still giving you the flexibility to add premium options when you want them.

How Add-On Pricing Is Quoted

• Vehicle assessment we inspect paint condition, trim, and any factors that might require prep or correction.
• Scope discussion we talk through your timeline, design needs, and any upgrades you're interested in.
• Itemised quote any recommended add-ons are listed separately and clearly priced alongside your core service.
• Approval before work begins no add-on work proceeds without your sign-off on the additional cost.
• Combined scheduling where possible, we bundle add-ons into a single workshop visit to save you time.

Getting the Most Value from Add-Ons

If you know upfront that your vehicle has older paint, existing wrap or tint that needs removing, or you're after a fully custom design, it's worth mentioning this when you first get in touch rather than waiting until your vehicle is on the workshop floor. Flagging these details early lets our team scope the right add-ons into your initial quote, plan the workshop time needed, and avoid any last-minute delays to your booking. It also gives you the full picture of cost upfront, so you can decide which add-ons are must-haves and which can wait for a future visit. Scoping a multi-vehicle project?
