So I got my car back from the body shop and they had to retint 60% of my windows due to scratching a few and replacing the rear window. They matched the percentage of tint, however, they used that whack ass reflective tint that looks like a fuckin mirror. So now my back window, left quarter, and right passenger window are silver while the rest are black like I had them. I debated having them do the rest with that mirror shit but i hate they way it looks. I mean, come on, everything on my car is black....NOT silver. Insurance is supposed to return it how I had it, doesn't that mean the tinter should have paid attention. I left a message to have them call me yesterday. I'm just debating how pissed off I'm going to get when they tell me it's not their fault.


Pretty obvious eh?

It is their fault. Threaten to tell the insurance company they didn't fix it correctly if they don't take care of it. the insurance company might hold the check until it is done correctly.

Good call. I already had to take the car back once because they left buffing compund in the rain gutters that I couldn't get off. I don't want to be an ass but my car is NOT how I left it.

You should take some pictures of them doing work on someones car, then photoshop the picture to make it look like they threw Jews into the ovens during the holocaust, and threaten to contact the police if they do not fix your tint.

Yes, but in the daylight its difficult to notice. Once it's in a little shade or the sun starts to go down it looks very obvious.

Sign the death warrants. I shall be there to lollerskate them to death 4 hours within the signing. If that doesn't work...I'll rape them one by one and drop load on their entire inventory.

Body shop outsourced tint. That what they do when they repair a car window that had tint beforehand.

yea, my homie told me about cool shades... i heard its like ridiculously cheap too... ima go there when i get my tint

Rufus
05-02-2007, 08:44 PM
Eh I don't think Kevin has his own shop, he usually contracts for dealerships and then does side jobs out of his house. I've referred an ungodly amount of people to him. Awesome film, lifetime warranty, cheap as fawk

05-02-2007, 09:45 PM
yea i have heard of him. he is a good guy and a great tinter. yea we do alot of dealerships in our area its killer $$$ but sometimes dealers can be a pain in the ass and some of them are very very demanding especially United auto dealers... good luck with the fix man that showcase collision re-tint is definatly a 1/2 ass penny pinching job im sure your buddy will agree with that
