Window Tints

I guess it just goes to show you should always ask around for recommendations first.

I actually did by reading this thread as their was only 1 melbourne recommendation.

o well, just gotta figure out what to do now..

cheers AL

Thanks for the advice Big AL.. I think u may be right.

it costed $150 for everything. which I thought was top price.

The rubbers were taken off the door before installation.. I had asked why I have gaps, and I was told that in order to get the tint to cover the entire window, the glass had to be removed from the door, and that the gaps are acceptable in their opinion as it will crinkle anyway in the long run =/ ..

however both rear windows began to peel off at the top, and so I took it back to get new ones put up. and as he made the first replacement, it actually fitted the entire window perfectly, which made me think I was just getting told what I wanted to hear.

but there was a blob of glue in the middle of the window (between the tint and window)

and so that was pulled off and another one was made really quickly, but had gaps that this time could be seen when the windows closed. and as I was starring at it, I was given a bunch of colourful words and told to be on my way.

I think its worth it to pay an extra few $100 from now on

so you wouldnt reccomend VIP tinting?

cause I have been thinking about taking my ute to them but their attitude towards customers (especially forum members) and quality level sounds terrible.

There is a guy who posts here occasionaly called TintR I think his name is Rick, he has a Tint-A-Car store but I'm not sure where in Melbourne. Try searching his name as I haven't seen him post for a while.

I also want to get my windows tinted and I msg TintR an he is from VIP Window Tinting is that the same as the bas one said previously

[Toxic Beast]

Yer tintR is the same one Big Al was refering to, but its Vip w/tinting and its Bret..

Mrah33 - sorry mate, some ppl may recommend going there but I wouldn't.

[cooltint]

Now I'm confused, are you saying TintR is now working for VIP and his name is Brett or just that that VIP are the ones that did your car and TintR is the one I was refering to and his name is Brett and not Rick as I had stated? I was sure he said he worked at or owned a Tint-A-Car store, but then again that was a couple of years ago.

Big AL

[Toxic Beast]

nope, that is Brett who works for vip.

I had no problems with the tint from Brett. Each to his own I guess. If he did such a bad job I doubt he would still be doing all the dealerships around where he lives.

Just my 2 cents.
