Lack of oxygen in the car after window tinting

[Blackdout]

So I had a customer come in with a lex ct200. Her car was already tinted with what looked like a 50%. She wanted to make the tints darker but she didnt want to pay extra for removing the old tint so I explained to her that I could put a darker tint on top of her current tint to hell her save money but that there could be issues down the line since it was 2 layers of tint. She decided to go with the 2 layer option. A week later she’s call me complaining her kids are having breathing issues and blames it on the second layer of tint. All I could do was laugh in my head and told her to bring her kids to the doctor cause I never heard of tint restricting air into the car. After another week she calls me telling me that she brought her car to the original guy that tinted her vehicle the first time and he had told her that I shouldn’t never put a second layer of film on in the first place and that the second layer could be the cause of the issue that her kids were experiencing. So after the bs, I ended up ripping off the tint I had put on reimbursed her money minus material costs and told her to invest the money into seeing a doctor cause there wasn’t something right about her kids.

In any case has anyone ever heard of experienced I’m not an asshole by nature but I can’t help but laugh every time I here her say her kids can’t breathe because of window tint. Guess people don’t have common sense to roll down a window or turn on the ac.

Tell me about it. I was real reluctant to reimburse her since there was nothing wrong with the tint but she kept nagging saying I was to blame for her kids suffocating. Ended up giving most her money back just to get her off my back. Now that i think about it i should’ve just reimbursed her and left the tint on. Let her original installer deal with her madness.

How Did you take glue off the layers u pulled off did you just pull your tint off or the 50 percent  too???

Probably left none behind because when pulling a piggy-back film off, the majority of the time pulls the SR coating off the first layer.

 

My Twilight Zone story involves residential; tinted a ladies' mobile home and days later she called to say her home was now under siege from bees. Only thing I new to say was to go out and get several gallons of bleach and pour it all around the outside of her home. Bees don't like bleach. Learned that from a doughnut shop owner next door to one of my tint shops years ago.

Just when you think you've heard it all..

Odd. Sounds like it's an issue with claustrophobia. 

 

I've had customers complain about allergic reactions to baby shampoo. One fella had been exposed to a chemical spill here at one of the refineries and had become sensitive to chemicals.

She shouldn’t lock the kids in the car while she goes into gamble in the casino.

I had a guy in my shop tell me that the chemical I was using (baby shampoo slip) was making his lips stick together. I still make fun of him about it.
