Running a business with your spouse is one of the hardest things you can do. The stress follows you home, the lines between personal and professional life disappear, and even date night can turn into a staff meeting. But it can also be one of the most rewarding things you’ll ever build if you learn how to make it work.

In this episode of The WrapOps Podcast, Andrew and Tanor share the real story of what it takes to be married and run Performance Wraps together. They open up about the mistakes they’ve made, the systems that saved them, and the small habits that keep their marriage and their shop strong.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
 • Why you need boundaries both at work and at home
 • How a simple weekly “owners meeting” can reduce stress and bring clarity
 • The right way to disagree in front of your team without losing respect
 • Why knowing each other’s stress triggers prevents blowups
 • How personality tools like the Enneagram improve communication
 • Ways to keep your relationship alive while building a demanding business

📋 Takeaways You Can Use Right Away:
 • Schedule regular date nights and protect them
 • Hold structured weekly meetings with an agenda and clear priorities
 • Save feedback for private conversations, never in front of the team
 • Learn what sets your partner off and agree not to use it against them
 • Make space for light moments at work so the shop doesn’t feel like a grind

Is your shop constantly drowning in work? Missed deadlines, late nights, unhappy customers, and a team that feels like it’s always putting out fires? Overbooking might feel like a “good problem to have” — but it’s actually a silent killer of profits, reputation, and morale.

In this episode of The WrapOps Podcast, Andrew and Tanor break down the 9 most common reasons wrap shops end up overbooked — and the exact fixes that bring order back to the chaos.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why saying “yes” too often is costing you money (not making it)
• How underestimating install times destroys your schedule
• The trap of skipping buffer hours (and why it always backfires)
• Why unclear client expectations create surprise reworks
• How weak systems, not weak staff, cause most chaos
• The hidden cost of back-to-back bookings with no breathing room
• Why ignoring your numbers leaves you blind to capacity
• How re-dos eat more time than new installs — and how to prevent them
• The role of leadership: why your mindset sets the shop’s pace

📋 Pro Tips from Performance Wraps:
 • Add buffer time to every job — expect the unexpected.
• Use pre-inspections and clear proofs to avoid last-minute disasters.
• Standardize your quoting and scheduling so it’s not “off the top of your head.”
• Learn to politely turn down jobs that don’t fit your schedule or standards.
• Focus on flow, not volume — a smooth shop outperforms a busy one.

🧠 The Mindset Shift:
 Overbooking isn’t a badge of success. It’s a warning sign. Fixing it is less about hustle — and more about systems, boundaries, and clarity.

In the wrap game, your reputation is everything. One angry customer — one 1-star Google review — can feel like it erases years of good work.

What if bad reviews are exactly what you need to build a brand that lasts?

In this episode of The WrapOps Podcast, Andrew breaks down their most stressful customer interactions on google reviews and share how those low moments became the catalyst for better systems, clearer communication, and stronger team culture.

This is the episode every shop owner needs to hear. Not just to protect your reputation, but to turn your next bad review into your next big breakthrough.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How to spot the difference between a “bad review” and a broken system
• The #1 way to prevent angry customers (hint: it starts before the install)
• Why “bad vibes” at pickup are often your fault — and how to fix it
• When to own the problem, even if it’s not technically your mistake
• How negative feedback can become a powerful tool for brand trust and loyalty

🧠 Quick Fixes That Prevent 1-Star Reviews:
 • Circle problem areas on client photos with notes
 • Be the first to acknowledge potential install flaws — before they’re pointed out
 • Create a “What Happens If…” document to handle recurring issues (removals, failed film, aftermarket parts)
 • Offer a fix instead of a refund — customers often want to be heard, not comped

🌀 A Bad Review Isn't the End — It's the Mirror.
 Your reaction to conflict is your real brand. This episode shows you how to build one that lasts.

Running a wrap shop can feel like a nonstop sprint — constant fixes, unhappy customers, long hours, and that sinking feeling that your business is running you. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

In this episode of The WrapOps Podcast, Andrew and Tanor break down the three silent killers that could be wrecking your shop’s reputation, profits, and sanity — and exactly what to do about them.

Whether you're solo on the tools or managing a full team, this episode is a must-listen if you're serious about building a sustainable, high-quality wrap business.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The difference between “just getting it done” and building a repeatable, reputable product
• Why patches, bubbles, and fingers aren’t just cosmetic — they’re brand killers
• How poor material choices sabotage your wraps (and your shop's name)
• Why rushed installs lead to burnout and fixes that cost more than they earn
• The most overlooked skill in the industry: setting clear client expectations

🧠 Level Up Your Install Game:
 • Reassess your own work with brutal honesty — or ask a detailer to do it for you
 • Use test pieces to learn tricky corners and materials without stress
• Adopt the “1% better” mindset — every panel, every time
• Learn from the best with The Wrap Institute — like YouTube for wrappers
• Standardize your quality — don’t leave it up to opinion or mood

📋 Pro Tip:
 Use an iPad to mark up photos of customer vehicles — circle problem areas, set clear boundaries, and email them before the job starts. It’ll save you arguments, refunds, and your peace of mind.

🌀 Don’t Just Deliver Wraps — Deliver Confidence.
 When your product and expectations are clear, the stress drops and the referrals rise.

Most people see the highlight reel — the flashy cars, the booming shop, the awards. But they don’t see the futon. The 100-hour weeks. The egg dinners. The “what are we even doing?” moments.

In this very first episode of The WrapOps Podcast, married co-founders Andrew and Tanor Banks pull back the curtain on their chaotic, all-in journey — from buying a failing wrap shop (that turned out to be a front), to building Performance Wraps into one of America’s top small businesses.

They’re not here to talk about the coolest cars or trendiest film — they’re here to help you build a wrap business that works for your life, not the other way around.

💡 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• How Andrew accidentally bought a fake business at 20 — and turned it into a real one
• What it’s like building a business and a marriage from the ground up
• The mistakes that nearly broke them — and the systems those mistakes inspired
• Why sleep-deprivation and burnout aren't badges of honor
• How they grew from zero systems to a million-dollar operation with 10+ staff
• What Tanor learned about stepping into leadership and finding her voice

🔁 TRY THIS:

• Document everything — from pre- and post-inspections to internal systems. It will save your sanity.
• If your shop feels like it’s falling apart, you’re not alone — this podcast is for you.
• Don’t wait to feel ready. Start messy, start tired, just start.
• If you’re the “partner in the background,” step up — your perspective matters more than you think.
• When something goes wrong, ask: “What part of this can we own — and systemize?”
