Window Tint F'd up

SO... I had my windows tinted today in St. Paul, MN from a reputable place. I picked my car up just as they were closing, so I didn't take the time I should have to inspect the tint job. I found several small little ovals and a few scratches... Am I being too picky?? Will this just happen sometimes? Will they disappear once the glue dries?? I'm ready to drive back there and tell them I want them to redo it... it was $265 afterall.

the scratches might very well be scratches on the glass itself and the tint just brings it out. i have a couple like that on mine

Yea the tint probably just needed some sunlight and heat to cure or whatever. Glad the bubbles went away, but if they didn't, it should be warrantied paying that much for tint.

265$ ISNT that pricey for a full car window tint. Places down here charge 100$ per window.
Thats why you just go to snaptint.com and do the tints yourself +)

$265 IS pricey for some tints. paying that much, you better have lifetime warranty or something

True! I would never pay for a window tint without a lifetime warranty.. Also expect quality films such as lumar.
