can I get a re work tint from dealer? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

marky · 01-22-2013, 06:15 PM

Got my frs like 2 weeks now and had a 800$ window add on tint from dealer and im going to dealer to get my alarm set up working today.. my question is can I get my window re tint/ re worked? Im not feeling 100 % satisfied with the job plus its a rip off price... is this something I can complain about while im there ?

Theres a cut on the side rubber from a blade I assume..was there already..but the other side has no cuts..

Also some bubbling and air pocket that might spread overtime

and lints I can see on the rear side windows..

PS: move if not in right thread

800 for tint? Holy crap. Find a reputable tint shop man. The dealer is just gonna keep fucking it up. I paid 130 in New York and it was a perfect job.

Hmm... I paid around $250 to have a tint shop do my last car and lifetime guarantee against crap like that...

Hold it... that cut is on the outside? the guy installing tint would have never touched the outside with a blade...

Yes, $800 is ridiculous for tinting, and they sure did a crappy job. I'd fight like hell just to get my money back, then take a couple hundred to a good tint shop and get it done right.

Demandred7 · 01-22-2013, 06:56 PM

Wow! Even for ceramic tint, $800 would be crazy. And they usually just send the car down the street to the closest tint shop. I paid just over $200 and really only one minor imperfection that I may or may not bring back to them to correct. Most reputable shops guarantee their work and will fix anything they botched. Approximately two weeks is sufficient to get rid of most imperfections as long as the temperatures are warm to hot. Tint likes it hot to better adhere. If temperatures are cool, it will sometimes take longer.

Yup 900 $ to be exact.. what a joke..and im waiting for a call to cancle my lux care .. they giving a BS that is a non cancel item and has not even been installed in my car...but yeah im not digging that dealer im just there to get my alarm set up and im out..and im not going to get my oil service done there for the first time... ill just do it myself..

Should I tell them im not happy with it? Not sure if they will do anything about it..seem like poway toyota dont care about anything but money when I was there..

marky · 01-22-2013, 11:18 PM

Wow poway toyota sales manger is a D@#K
Says that I cant get price down and it is what it is and all he can do is re work the window tint..

895 $ for window tint really.. never doing business again there and will keep away from getting rob..

Another local dealer called me today and said they have my frs I asked about a month ago come in..shkuld of waited another 2/3 weeks and just got it over there..seems like poway toyota are just pricks..

Also I called them about get my alarm set up and they said come on down will get it done really quick and you will be out.. went there and they said I need appointment..

tomato86 · 01-22-2013, 11:49 PM

lolwut, you paid almost a g for tint? Man why...

Burrcold · 01-22-2013, 11:56 PM

Activate security alarm $795??? What the hell is that?

Did you not question these costs when signing? The dealer completely reamed you!

marky · 01-23-2013, 12:05 AM

yeah they got me good... taking my business elsewhere

i was out of it when i was there hungry and wanted to get the heck out of there.. tomorrow im suppose to get re tint and get my alarm set up.... talked to the salesmen and they just like one ear out the other but thanks for the money suckers

other dealer that called me today said that call relation about that and its not right... i know calling the salesmen wont do anything....

Demandred7 · 01-23-2013, 12:15 AM

Definitely go to head office / customer relations for that BS. Scion/Toyota should be embarassed by the highway robbery going on there.

fistpoint · 01-23-2013, 12:16 AM

Um...why did you pay for the tint in the first place? You should have told them to lower it to a reasonable price of $250 at the absolute maximum while pointing out you can have one of dozens of local shops do it for $150. Make them feel proud of the additional $100 on top they are getting.

Again I have to ask, why the hell did you even consider for a single nanosecond paying anything even remotely close to $400(like many ASSHOLE dealers charge) for tint, let alone $900? W!T!F!

Now that we're done yelling at you, hell yes you can take it back. All you have to do is not accept no for an answer. Simply do not take no, do not do not do not. The worst thing they could say is that there is a 30 day warranty on it, which you still have time left on.

Lonewolf · 01-23-2013, 12:20 AM

You had the power before you signed the papers, now, all that's left is complaining to corporate and the general manager of the dealership.

Kyubi · 01-23-2013, 12:27 AM

My dealer threw in free window tinting, Ill tell you what I think when I get it haha
