From the moment I first contacted The Wrap Shop, Arin was extremely responsive. I reached out over…read moreLabor Day weekend, when most of the other wrap shops I contacted were taking forever to respond, and Arin was immediately on top of everything. From that first interaction, he really set the standard.
Before making a decision, I did my homework. I physically went around and looked at quite a few different wrap shops, compared their work, pricing, truck wrap designs, facilities, and overall professionalism. The Wrap Shop was probably 10-20% more expensive depending on the service, and initially, that did put me off.
I'll also admit that some of the language in their contract seemed excessive to me at first. Between that and the higher price, I wasn't completely sold. What kept me interested was the professionalism and the quality of the work I was seeing.
My business coach eventually asked me a very simple question: what actually stood out about The Wrap Shop compared with everyone else?
The answer became pretty obvious. A lot of the major, successful brands I see around Los Angeles were using them, and their fleet wraps, truck wraps and van wraps simply looked better.
So I called Arin and explained exactly what was going through my head. Instead of trying to give me a sales pitch, he invited me in and showed me behind the scenes.
That completely changed my perspective.
This isn't just someone designing a wrap and outsourcing everything. They have their own printing equipment, multiple dedicated areas for different stages of production, a substantial team, and actual systems for everything from wrap design and printing through installation and quality control. Once you see the infrastructure and attention to detail firsthand, you start understanding why they charge slightly more.
If you're a one-man operation and your only priority is getting the absolute cheapest truck wrap possible, this probably isn't the shop for you.
But if you run a serious business, have a growing team, or are building a fleet and care about your brand, professionalism and return on investment, I think the value here is exceptional. They may not be the cheapest, but in my experience, the return on every dollar spent here is significantly greater than trying to save a little money somewhere else.
The professionalism, truck design, wrap design, systems, workmanship, service and willingness to go above and beyond have all been outstanding. They genuinely seem willing to do whatever it takes to make the customer happy.
After seeing the number of employees, equipment and infrastructure behind the operation, I actually found myself wondering how they maintain it all. Their overhead must be enormous, but you can see where the money goes when you look at the finished product and the service surrounding it.
I honestly don't think I'll even bother getting quotes from other wrap shops next time. For our future truck wraps and fleet wraps, I already know where I'm going.
If you're building a professional company and want your vehicles to represent your business at the same level, it makes sense to work with people who take their own business just as seriously.
The Wrap Shop has set an incredibly high standard. Arin and the entire team have earned my business going forward. Highly recommended.
