i talked to my tint guy today and told him about what everyone posted here and he told me to bring my car back wednesday so he can redo it. i will be asking a lot of question before he starts working, if i dont like his answers i might be better off keeping the tint the way it is. im worried that he might make it worst. and if i do let him work on my car again i will be watching closely, i made a mistake of dropping my car off the first time.

 

yeah i never drop any of my cars off anywhere

i usually just wait around and watch

they probably thnk i am some annoying over zealous customer, but hey so be it :smile:

Ryan,

I always stick around and wait while my car is being worked on too, even if it's an oil change. When I took Junior out to the tint shop, the guy asked me to park the MINI in his small garage (with roll up door entry). Then he asked that I wait outside and have a seat on a comfortable cushioned chair while he worked on Junior.

I asked why, and he said he needs to concentrate and doesn't want dirt to come into the room...it was a little windy that day. But still, what does that have to do with me being in the room. A little weird!

 

pooky..
maybe he was the ODB! hahhahaha
i didn't watch them do my tint, luckily it came out perfect!
i will be more cautious with my next car though.

i totally understand ur mentality..i am just like that

the tint place i go to..mr T and lots of LA news anchors go there..they are very reputable.

when i got it tinted it was about 95 outside..they have a shaded place inside garage kind of thing wehre they do it..

and customers sit inside in the ac cooled room..and look through the window to see the cars

but i am so paranoid..i stood next to them the whole time..in the heat

i dont care

the mini i am not so concered about, but some of my other cars were a bit pricier

 

Hey I have tinted windows for years. In my twenties I did it for a living and now just for my own personal cars and house. Sometimes I'll do a friends car. But when I did my MINI it was the easiest car I have ever tinted. If a shop is having a hard time or anyone with tinting experience is having a problem, then go some place else right away and don't look back. This car can be tinted by a blind guy with one arm if he takes his time.

 

nobull is right

my mini tint was the shortest job ever

about 40 min

 

but then again it was one guy per window

my car was attacked by 5 burly guys

poor celeste

>>>>my car was attacked by 5 burly guys I'm just real picky when it comes to my car in general, specially as Junior is my first brand spanking new car.

certainly understandable

 

hello! problem solved..... tint guy took off the old tint and put a new one on (one piece) in about 40 min. i checked his work and im more than satisfied. the guy is pretty cool about it too (redo) but i wont be going back there again. one bad experience is enough for me. again, many thanx to the community, it made my argument prrrretty easy.

 

I've had mine tinted with Johnson Film 35% black for a year now and my rear window is one piece.....does your guy know how to shink the film with a blowdryer?
