I brought my car to the car wash at the mall, where they have a guy come around and wash it by hand, exterior and interior...and i come back from the mall an hour later and there's a scratch on my passenger side front tint...it looked seriously like he used a razor blade on it.....so i showed it to the guy but he didn't speak english, all he said was "ahhh" and "ohhh" and then i was like "uhm ok" and i called the tint place and they said it would be $50 to remove and replace it,...so unless i take it up with the company i'm going to have to just pay $50...this sucks

 

That sucks. This is the reason why nobody touches my car except me.
I always handwash myself. If I fuck the car up, then it's on me.

 

What brand tint do you have?
So you've already talked to the tint place that did your tint?

 

i don't know what brand it is, i already asked them about replacing it and they said $50

 

sorry to hear that but...wash it yourself ! you're in S. FL it's warm enough

 

You gotta love how they play dumb after they've screwed up. It could be a lost cause so you might as well fork over the $50 and make it nice again. Sucks but whatcha gonna do, right?

 

i live in a stupid rich area so there aren't any do-it-yourself car washes...the apartments we're in has a car wash area, but there are parking spots in front of it for some dumb reason so no one can ever wash their car unless they stake out the spots...and even when you get the spot you have to manuever around other peoples' cars with the hose and hear the old women bitch at you that you got water spots on their camrys and lincolns and shit...its so dumb.

and yeah, paying $50 is my only option basically...

 

I feel ya Kawaii....that sucks. I use to live in an apartment complex where there was shared car wash areas and it sucked! No shade and you always had to wait to get a spot.

So therez no lifetime warranty on your tint? Next time I would just go in and act like you think the scratch was from something related to the install and see if they'll cover it under warranty.

How long ago did you get your tint? If it's pretty new see if they'll go down in price to like 30-40 bucks.

 

i have a warranty but i don't think it would cover it...and i got the tints done in like july 04.

 

I don't believe tint warranties ever cover scratches and stuff. It usually only covers fading of the tint, bubbling of the tint and natural effects on the tint. If you have the money, just go get that window retinted. I suggest removing the bad tint yourself to save you some money. All you need is a razor, water and a free couple hours of your day.

 

Yeah I would do like VB said above. Just take the tint off yourself and bring it in. Then go in and tell them that you took it off yourself and see if they'll do it for cheap. Just be like "Man...I just got this like 5 or 6 months ago...and I already paid like 200 something dollars for it." If the dudes are cool, then they'll try to work with you.

You could also just leave it as is. Does it look super bad, like would other people notice it if they weren't looking for it?

 

i dunno, it isn't awful but it's really just something that might bother me..i'm a loser and have no friends so it isn't like anyone else is going to see it but i'll have to see if it starts to get on my nerves or if i just forget about it.

 

Hmmm, why is that not suprising?

 

is there a manager at the car wash you can talk to? they should cover the $50 since it was their mistake

 

actually it's because i just moved from ct to florida and the only people that want to be my "friends" are guys that want to fuck me, and no girls want to be my friends because they're jealous of me.

and i'm shy.

i'm not a bitch in real life, only when people piss me off online..

not get the fuck out of my thread! :angryfire

 

they don't speak english...lol if i tried speaking spanish to them they'd probably laugh.

 

Yea, and that seems to be EVERYONE here dosent it?

Seriously Kawaii, get over yourself...

 

don't you have some kids to be taking to daycare or something?

 

sometimes they do it on purpose, i'll be suprised if the manager doesnt speak english.

well, you can try what tsx536 suggested, just say the tint ripped when you rolled down your window. worth a try, esp for $50

 

yeah i dunno, i'm actually putting it off because i'm too lazy to bring it down there...not because of the $50 haha
