PHOENIX, AZ (11.29.23) – November 28, 2023 – Fullbay, the turn-key platform that improves the operational efficiency of heavy-duty repair shops, is celebrating the annual GivingTuesday movement by emphasizing the importance of giving back and supporting the heavy-duty repair industry. Throughout 2023, through its Fullbay Cares initiative, the company has donated more than $15,000 to industry-focused charity organizations. 

In 2023, Fullbay Cares supported charities including Truckers Against Trafficking, St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund, Truckers Final Mile, and Folds of Honor. This year Fullbay also launched its new lifestyle website, All About the Grilles, which sells heavy-duty apparel and other merchandise. Additionally, the company published a children’s book, Truck Tales 2, and announced that Truck Tales 3 is soon to come. All proceeds obtained from sales of the apparel and books go directly back to Fullbay Cares and are distributed to industry charities.

“We are honored to be able to give back to our heavy-duty repair community and do what we can to help others and make their lives easier – especially during the holiday season,” said Jacob Findlay, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Fullbay. “Every year, I’m inspired by the generosity of our industry. Giving back is a non-negotiable component of our business as we want to shed light and pay respect to the hard-working individuals and groups who keep America’s trucks running.”

In the month of December, Fullbay will support Sleigh Bells and Santa, an annual Christmas campaign to provide support and presents to children experiencing the holidays after the loss of a parent who was a commercial truck driver.

The Fullbay Cares initiative was launched in 2020 as a way to support the heavy-duty repair community by providing charitable donations, educational resources, opportunities to volunteer, and more. Since then, the initiative has donated over $84,000 total dollars in funding to deserving organizations and groups.

SAN ANTONIO , TX (11.21.23) – Tint World announced the opening of their 22^nd Texas franchise’s physical store in New Braunfels.

Tint World New Braunfels, owned by Kevin and Allyson McBreen, has already been serving the area with premier commercial and residential window tinting solutions, and the opening of their physical location introduces the brand’s full line of automotive aftermarket services to drivers throughout their market. The expanded offerings include premium solutions such as paint protection films, custom wheels and tires, industry leading window tinting, security enhancements and more.

“It’s been a dream of mine to work with cars every day at work, and thanks to Tint World’s amazing franchise model, I can say I’m living that dream now,” said Kevin McBreen. “The Tint World leadership team has been phenomenal in helping Allyson and me build our team and start this journey. The training has been top-notch, and the support has really made us feel like we’re part of a family. We’re so excited to have our storefront open and now offer the full lineup of world-class Tint World automotive products to our community.”

Prior to the store opening, the McBreens began working with homeowners, business owners and contractors in the area to provide window enhancement solutions. The range of products they introduced, including safety and security films, commercial graphics, privacy films, and solar control window films designed to counter the intense Texas heat, swiftly addressed a void in a predominantly unexploited market. 

“Our growth in Texas is evident of both the strong consumer demand and the excellent service our franchise owners provide, and the McBreens are a perfect fit to help continue our expansion in the state,” said Charles J. Bonfiglio, president and CEO of Tint World. “Their daughter Emily told us that ‘when her parents have a goal, they only know how to overachieve it,’ and I can confidently say she’s right. Kevin and Allyson hit the ground running with our premium residential and commercial window films well before their store was open, and now they’re going to take it to the next level. They’ve placed their trust in our proven franchise system and repeatable process, and we have complete faith that they’re going to make a lasting impression in New Braunfels and the entire northeast San Antonio market.”
