This week on the Born to Tint Podcast, Ricky sits down with JD Oviedo, owner of Tint Haus Audio & Accessories out of El Monte, California. 🎙️ JD shares his story of getting into the tint industry back in 2005, starting as a hands-on installer and evolving into one of SoCal’s most respected shop owners.

From learning the hard way on his first installs to building a business that now blends audio, accessories, and premium tinting, JD opens up about:

🚗 How Tint Haus started and grew through the years
💡 Lessons learned from working with top brands like 3M, Avery Dennison, and others
🏁 Competing in one of the most saturated tint markets in Southern California
💬 The “race to zero” pricing problem and how quality shops set themselves apart
🔧 Real talk on installs, shaved edges, Tesla and Cybertruck challenges, and why perfection doesn’t exist in this trade

This is a must-listen episode for anyone in the window film, auto styling, or small business world. JD and Ricky dive deep into what it really takes to stay competitive, protect your reputation, and keep learning in an ever-changing industry.
