Vista Warrenty ?? How long?

Ok.. I'm really getting sick of the place I work... but that's not the issue exactly. I just had to get that out. :woowoo

I did an install today.. V38 on everything. 450 sq/ft. At the end, the home owner asked me about the warrenty. So I pull out the paper work and go over it with her. It says 36 months for seal breakage, and 60 months for the glass breakage. (I can't recall the exact terms off-hand)

She said that the salesman specifically said that the warrenty would cover the length of the window warrenty, be it either 10 yrs or 20. (According to the sales guy that is the length of warrenty on windows)

Here I am looking like an idiot and I just kindly told her that I may perhaps have the information wrong and she should call the office.

So what exactly is the warrenty for Vista and what does it cover?!? Note - This was the normal warrenty, not the Vista Gold Warrenty. (Which I'm not even sure what that covers, only that it is an extra charge according to the sq footage of film installed - and I don't know if that figure is made up by Vista or my company)

Thanks again....

try and get the warranty covered without a true original warranty of the glass..no glass warranty in hand = no warranty from CPFilms..and some window companys void the warranty if you put film on them.

Hi Roach,

I don't know too many window manufacturers that cover their windows for 10 or 20 years unless it's Milgard or Andersen. (From what I've seen they now cover them with a lifetime warranty.) Maybe a manufacturer that I haven't heard of yet? :lol Anyhow, what if the window warranty is for like 1 or 2 years from a builder. Does that mean the Vista glass warranty is only for 1 or two years?

Can anyone answer that?

So Roach....who do you work for? :woowoo:mad

Hey Expert!

I've been trying to overcome dsl/computer problems. Don't have dsl still. Also, my work load is still enough to keep me busy and away from any online activities. I've been blessed with a great reputation that keeps referrals comin' out of no where. I wish some of the other guys could be as busy.

I just don't know how long this is going to last. hehehe

By the way, can ya answer the question I had in this thread?

Will someone be specific about the warranty you would like to know about?!

a. Glass breakage and seal failure

b. Film life expectations

c. labor

d. wtf?

So are ya thinking that Cpfilms is going to say" Nope your windows are junk so if your glass has a 2 year warranty, our film warranty will be void too after 2 years.

Reddot, I'm not really sure if that was directed at me since I posed the original question...

In any event, I had a talk with my boss and salesman today. If I'm still there in a few weeks I'll be surprised.

Basically, I was told that we, as a company, inclued the Vista Gold warrenty in homes that are brand new or if one of the concerns with the customer is the warrenty, etc. all included in their final price.

Well, had I been told that at ANY point over the past THREE years I've been working there, everything would have been a lot better.

I said to my boss that I don't understand why they, my boss and salesman, have to lie to customers about stuff. (There was another issue at the customer's home yestruday) They both said that I was too young to understand it is needed and that if they were entirely honest with customers about everything they, my company, would loose businessness to competitors.

Basically they are willing to do whatever it takes to get the job. I gave them a few examples of stuff from past jobs about what people ask me and the answers I give, then the customer tells me what they were told by my company. Which of course puts me in an crappy situation.

I have no doubt in my mind that my boss would have fired me today except for the fact he would have a lawsuite on his hands if he fires me because I refuse to be lie. (Oh, the sales guy says to me that I live in an idealistic world)

Bah...

And Don'tWorryItWillDry - I work for South Jersey Window Tinting located in Mt. Laurel NJ.... At least for the time being.b

It was a general post twimc. And on a different subject I would call Cpfilms and let them know what your conversation was at work and tell them flat out about the lies you deal with and the comments about the truth..I would walk out the door asap and find another job, nothing I cannot stand is a lie.

Vista 1-800-345-6088 ask for Darlene Foley you will be suprised at what she can tell you and she is a very nice lady..

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you

      Process

      Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money!

      Boat window tinting tips

      The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.

      Boat window tinting tips

      Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!
