| - I hate giving 5 star reviews because the business has to be exceptional to deserve it. I was going to take my SUV to another shop with great reviews too but the other guy had less reviewers...about a dozen. Alex, the owner, matched their price too. It appears that he believes in treating the customers fairly and you will succeed without major advertising (like that bald idiot from Dodge who proclaimed himself the King of Cars because his daddy gave him that dealership to manage, or that's the word among locals. I wonder what he did with that skinny Genie that he had painted blue every week for his infomercials. Probably suing him for paint inhalation and absorption. Then again, maybe he "chopped" him and is working elsewhere now. Badabup.)
It's still winter weather; so, I dont know about the quality of film used. Everyone is selling high performance, carbon, super sun deflecting space shuttle quality film (that can keep Dracula comfortable in the Las Vegas sun), over their competitors. Truth be said, my "premium" film that I used to buy from Walmart has lasted 10 years and blocks the sun just fine on one car we still have (rest were sold so I dont know if the film still holds or not). Alex said he was putting Suntech film on mine and was better than the competitors' hi-performance carbon. (FYI, they sell it precut on Ebay too, so is it really exclusive? I don't know.) For me, as long as the baseline is the same, anything better is icing on the cake. My car was done at 5:30 at night and it was already pretty dark in this time of year so I did not see anything when I drove home. I will see how these films are better when summer rolls around.
The next afternoon I went to look at the tint job. Tint job looks fine. I noticed where the installer cut into the rubber seals around the windows and there were strands hanging from some of the windows where he cut the seals. Very thin lines. I've DIYed my own windows probably 5 times in my life. I've avoided cutting the seals b/c I shift the tint around and lower the window a little, then just follow the seals with my razor. This isn't a deal breaker for me, but if this was my BMW, yeah, it would bother me because the razor blade is thin and pressed against the seals as a guide when you are cutting. This avoids cuts. You might knick it but not cut 6-7 inches. Another small passenger window had a tiny spot where film did not cover it. I dont know if this will cause it to peel or bubble later on. It's on the corner so this may be a concern in the future.
Overall, Alex was fair, friendly, and the workmanship is good, albeit with a few minor quibbles. My car was the last one done and it was closing time so maybe the installer probably rushed a little. He looked pretty young too. The water spots that were underneath the window tint, eventually faded after a couple of days.
