$85 a car they sound mega dogey, i wouldn't tint a car for that low no way in hell unless it were a real close friend then maybe. i can understand its tough starting out im in that boat now but f$%# these guys sound real bad, and undercutting other tinters and shops by that much is %&$# , they wont last long in the industry and consumers will wonder why its so cheap and be skeptical about what they are paying for.

Call county or city, Code Enforcement on them, or even the Fire Marshall, they'll have to raise there prices at the very least to recoup the fines and the new equipment they be required to buy... That's is why it is important to play by the rules when you do business....

Wow. Thats lovely. I actually had a couple of customers mention that they heard of this place and their retarded prices. Un-f'n-real.
If I was a customer, Id be very nervous bringing my car to a place that tints in a tent. But there are so many people that just want a good price and dont give a rats ass about good quality installs.
Should make a good news story when it goes on fire from the heater though....

Dang, I didn't know there were so many tinters in Long Island...we have a lot of hacks here in Houston. When one closes, another opens. It's a viscous cycle. Ive tried to stay away from automotive and focus on FG. When someone calls and I give them a price, it's always "you can't do it for $--?" No, no I can't. It doesn't bother me as much now b/c it seems normal, but that doesn't make it right.
Im still using better film and still an installer baller...and have good references.

We had a bad hail storm come through about a year and a half (fairly common in these parts). Immediately after, of course, a ton of nomadic paint-less dent repair companies show up. They all tried to rent out one of the bays to do their work but I wouldn't let them cause I didn't want to have to worry about any of my tools coming up missing. (We do a lot more than just tint here). One of them opened up shop in the inspection station next to us and when the dents began to run out instead of just going somewhere else he decided to start tinting for $99 a car. The customers that came by here told me that he was giving lifetime warranties with the film. Pretty much all I had to do with them was explain that in a year or two when the crap film he is installing goes bad he is not gonna be there to warranty it for you. So essentially they have no warranty. That usually sealed the deal for them but there are some people who just want it cheap and don't care that it is gonna cost them down the road. I haven't seen him for awhile but I am sure he will pop back up come season again.

we have a few shops in my city that they say 69.00 cars and 49.00 sliders and bedroom windows for 29.00 they say they use johnson film and i saw a post on craigslist that it was 3m they used.i have called them they tell me they computer cut there film to get a 4 door car done it is 120.00 and that is 4 doors and back window and then if you want the small window done in back door it 10.00 more the reason is they have to put another piece of film in the computer to cut the windows but out side there shop a big sign on there full size van on back doors 69.00 window tint its not
then we have few cubans that come from miami florida to ft myers on the week ends to work at the fleamarket outside under a tent in the parking lot
if they are slow the price is anywhere from 39.00 to 50 dollars and if they are busy the prices is like 89.00 im not sure about what film or quality is but i hear alot of people lol at them around town.

So I've been thinking about trying to drown them out, but I can't make my mouth say "99 dollars"  Plus it's just not worth it, somebody will pop up in their place  It drives me crazy to see them tinting anything!

He wont last long buddy dont you worry about that. I use a forced air propane heater its relatively safe as long as your careful. Mine has a shutoff thing so if the flame goes out it cuts off gas supply. Its some sort of heat expanding thing  I like it and its cheap and portable. I'd rather have the tank in my car then 5+ gallons of kerosene, plus propane doesn't have the diesel smell.
