I think he misinterpreted the original phrase as that "BB will fail at doing warranty work" versus warranty work will lead to their demise. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Best buy will fail with warranty work.. watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty asinine comment :linedrink

Explain why.

How do you fail with warranty work? Explain why.

If a warranty comes in just in the same way a warranty were to come into your shop does it bout put you out of business? As a reminder to all who think BB is tinting nation wide let me correct you in that they don't only a handful of stores that they think can be profitable with it are doing it now...

What will haunt the BB stores is not warranty work due to film failure but redo work due to sub par installation. I'm sure you realize that is work that BB will take on the chin. The time spent fixing problems will, at the end of the day make it more grief than it is worth for the franchise. The simple truth to the matter is that auto tinting is a fussy business. Most of the experienced guys / gals will not tolerate other things going on right next to them while they are working because it takes very little to stir up dust and debris, and if a tinter has just spent 20 minutes cleaning and shrinking a BG then a stereo guy kicks up dust by slamming a door that causes a hair to land on the film...... Some one is getting a beat down. Like I said BB will get their fair share of fast food type customers but to retain a 5 star cook,.....BB just won't have the ability to keep premiere talent. Thus they will ALWAYS have newbee installers. Which will end up causing the inevitable exit from the tinting game.

a note to all best buy tinters, you will be surprised what a real professional tinter makes a year. and when they find out they will leave for a better tint shop. this will lead to BB having to keep retraining people, and as soon as they get somebody who does a decent job they will leave. this is what will pump out a bunch of bad tint jobs and keep the warranty work coming in

:lol2 ......... :lol2

Cmon, have you ever had that happen to you? You get the window all clean, the BG all shrunk nice, peel and soak the film and as you are all contorted up beyond imagination to stuff the film into the back seat. Then some skin gun turns on a shop vac or opens the overhead door, o ly to put a pubic hair smack in the center of the film, far enough in so you can not get it out without making more of a mess. Maybe it is just that I'm a premadona,biach. But I just about have a melt down when someone fuggs up my work on me.

Some good points made :lol2 ..and funny ones too :lol2

That sad ending to the point Tomtint was making though is that in this high turn around of tinters quoting to work for others or for themselves in turns turns your BB area into a whored out pricing war of half trained , jack of all trade, master of non tinters.

THIS IS THE BEST !!!!! Totally agree with Tom and I fell everyone hit the nail on the head with the "warranty" work, that, like was said before, "creases and bad installs are not warranty work". They WILL fail. it's a matter of how much is BB willing to lose bf they call it quits??????

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      Captain Obvious has two cents err senses to share: 1) The film should be removed and replaced, because it appears to have adhesive blemishes that shouldn't be there, and 2) The film should be reviewed/inspected once taken from the roll to avoid losing time and resources due to manufacturing issues. Little pieces not so much, but back glass and windscreen pieces ... definitely.

      Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be

      I switched so long ago... first to KDS but they went away. NT are great though. I use a piece of white strapping material as a cutting buffer between the blade and glass. Some use a button but I didn't like the feel..

      Headlight Taillight Vinyl question... (Looking for CHROME)

      I'm looking for a chrome/mirror wrap for headlights/taillights. No NEOchrome, just a mirror or chrome appearance. Looking to spice up a project. Looking for transparent so can see lights thru film. I have looked and can't find what fits the bill. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      I can't win with getting tint decent on the windshield. I had 3M on my F150 done twice and still has major defects. Recently did Stratos twice on my F350 and I see this granular spotted, texture pattern on the tint. It's super obvious in the corner here but also right in my view when driving. It's honestly hard to point out and show someone but when your driving and stuff is moving behind the windshield, it becomes more obvious. The lighting also matters. The first time I did the windshield, I had a two foot line on the windshield. Thinking it was tint, they removed the tint and it was apparently a defect in the Ford windshield. An issue between the laminated glass layers caused this big defect. So they removed the tint, I had Ford replace the windshield on a 2024 F350 but when the tint shop removed the tint, they made a bunch of micro scratches in the front windshield, probably from scrapping the glue off. I told them but I didn't care since Ford was replacing the windshield anyways. So if basically I'm trying to figure out what this texture stuff is and if I should have them replace or remove it. Replacing it might just have different issues but also afraid they will scratch the windshield.

      I would direct you to Express Window Films web site. They sell Global brand after setting up an account with them. They are reasonably priced and they do partials. Can't go wrong with Global.

      Need some help

      Never overlook the condition of the floor. Back when I did install, I used to mist the floor between the vehicle and the peel board. This is done between misting the window and walking toward the peel board to mist the pattern liner, peel liner and spray adhesive for install. Tacks any dust for the duration of each pattern install, so repeat each time a pattern is going to be installed.
