He must of thought I was a complete idiot


Recommended Posts

I can totally relate to being taken by a hack. Sadly for me I paid but I got my revenge!!!!

 

 

Well before I got into the industry I had an 85 nissan king cab. After having read a ton of Mini truckin and other mags and found out about tint and custom printed graphics and how they were applied before  I got some work done.

 

Got the glass tinted at one shop and a year later ended up going to another shop that was new in town  because the first did not play with printed graphics.

 

Order was placed and graphics installed. The hack said I HAD to pay before he could release my vehicle and I could see it ...... :evileye   Flags going up ....."Oh its so that people don't leave before I get paid" 

 

I paid . They brought the truck around and I got to see it . :tantrum :tantrum :tantrum :tantrum The $%#$% Jackasses there had  hand cut through the graphic into my paint and down to the metal 1/2" away from any seams /joints in the doors and body instead of wrapping into the joints.

 

I called him on it . Told him he had to get my paint redone and new graphics done properly. He said" sorry you paid get the EFF outta my shop".  :mad :mad :mad :mad

 

 

Sooooo thats how it is huh?????   I introduced myself as a driver at the hottest pizza shop in town..  If you had been a stand up guy I'd be telling everyone to go see you .... Now A$$hat you will  be the subject of me showing every pizza custy your quality of work.  Word of mouth is gonna kick your dumb A$$ outta this town. I  deliver 30-100 pies a night and there are only 5000 people in this town ...Buh Bye

 

6 months later he was Gone.

:gasp remind me not to tick you off...and can I get a pizza delivered?

Pan pizzas are great, all that grease and brown crusty cheese on the edges.. Damn, and that's just the ones I've eat from the big chains, so I couldn't imagine what a real authentic pan would be like..

OK, so it's tinted, the passenger window and the two vent windows is pretty much textbook flawless, at least that's the opinion of a non pro tint installer, but it really does look great. The drivers side glass has 1/4inch light gap towards the front, it must of slipped and spun around on him and neither of us noticed it at the shop, it was 120 degrees and I have no clue how he survives in that closed garage because it wasn't cool in lobby but at least u could breathe. I didn't call back but I'm gonna stop by one day and let him fix it because there's a little trash under it as well. The back glass, well, I guess I'm just not gonna be able to be satisfied with how it has to look because I don't think it's humanly possible to get it exactly light free around that rubber, I don't know what else to do so I'm gonna be happy. Now I'm not complaining, you cannot see a light gap from the outside unless u really study it and the sun is coming through the windshield, but from the inside there's a few spots and he touched it up with a black sharpie marker, not really the technique I had hoped I'd have to resort to being OK with, but how many times can I be unhappy without looking like a complete dick? I will let the bubbles lay down and make sure everything is flat and then stop by one day and let him check out the door where I'm confident he will immediately agree should be replaced. This is without a doubt a hard skill to master, if he'd of spent two hours on one back window and didn't draw the line somewhere then the profit would of been nothing, so it is what it is and I am not gonna nit pick and worry over it anymore. Nothings perfect and it does make the truck look great like I'd hoped, but the radiant heat through the front window is pretty bad, so next time I'll get him to do the 80% on the front and fix side glass.

I am sorry if this was already mentioned, but why not just pull the back glass out and tint it and rope it back in? It would be clean with no light gaps. I find it's faster to do then dicking around with it sucking water up in the edges, and cleaning forever.It's just a gasket set window isn't it or am I missing something?
