Car pretty

I got my tints done by CAR PRETTY in Philadelphia. Well they look good don't have any problems with bubbles but my tints are extremely scratched up. They so call offer a lifetime warranty for scratches bubbles peeling etc. I went back recently with my other car 99 maxima and told them about the problems I was having with my tints on my ACURA TL. He offered to fix the problem but when I came back he just bullshitted and never corrected the problem. The tints are extremely scratched up. He said some bullshit about we can't do anything because there is sand from the beach in the car blah blah they would have to take the car apart to fix the problem. I understand that people have problems with tinting these car but he also hacked out all of the window stripes so I don't see where I'm at fault if he has done so. I wouldn't suggest doing business with these people. They'll take your money and then just kick you to the curb. I will post pictures when I get home from work.

That bites. They should honor the warranty. Did they install mole skin when they installed the tint?

At the time they did offer to mole skin for 35 more dollars but I said no. The owner said it wasn't necessary and It wouldn't scratch but If it did I can come back get and get it corrected.

I will be right back I will get some pictures posted.

I'm not 100% sure if It's on the windows itself or the tint. It's pretty deep scratched though.

Acura TL are known to have scratches if you don't install moleskin. If you have taken on their offer to the moleskin your tint will probably be scratch free. But I can understand that they don't keep their words when that guarenteed to have lifetime warranty.

I understand that but I didn't think It would be this bad. Just imagine this all over the windows. It was hard for me to get shots of the scratches and never expected it to be this deep.

That's nice to know because i was definitely about to go get my tints done there too. Forget that since they are acting like that.

Thats outrageous. I considered using them 2 years ago when I moved back here from MD. Instead I went to Driven Dynamics in Rockville. Glad I did.
