That's just it. Where are you getting that he's over charging? I'm happy your shop is doing well. I'm happy your employee's don't wish to earn more money. Like others have said, if he wanted after hours appointment, if he had complications, if he just wanted that tint artist to tint his lambo, the price goes up. In every industry you can get something cheap and something expensive. From Hamburgers to golf clubs. The experience and customer service is different. I am curious as to what an "honest price" is? if someone charges less than you, are they giving their customers a more honest price? 

Sorry for my bitterness in my last post!  No hard feelings really! 
but where he’s overcharged is the fact of the materials used an the time, I myself an my workers have done plenty of high end cars like this one. But like you said we need a full picture of the car an a better picture inside to really see if it’s a true Lamborghini or not! With them pictures it could be anything and he just ain’t happy an said it was a high end car! 
The side note of my shop we charge a flat rate on 99% of vehicles, the other 1% being the two an only vw bugs an the great vette back glass, we do charge an extra $100 for them, my 6 employees and me can get them done in one shot or maybe it take us 3,4,5 shots. It just depends on the day. I’ve had one call me that’s   tried a bug three times an wanted help an I got it done in one try, also it’s been the other way around I’ve had a bug and vette that’s gave me so much trouble I passed it to someone else an they got it first try. 
Moral of my story is, let’s see more pictures (which I doubt the OP will ever come back) 

and we can go from there!

hmmm, is the risk the same tinting a lambo (which the pictures didn't look like) vs a kia soul? It's not a high price. We don't know the whole story.  A fair price is what someone is willing to pay. I mean you could say the same thing about the lambo itself lol, A lambo is over priced.  You need an oil change? call and get a quote for a civic oil change and thats what you should pay lol. How about the car insurance? will it be comparable to the kia soul? We need to look at all those same considerations. I feel bad for people who feel negatively about earning money, or guilty if they make over $50k a year, you have the wrong mindset, you're not ripping off the customer charging a price they are willing to pay, you're ripping off your family by not charging that price. 

Lmao just want to comment real quick on the feeling bad for making over the 50k a year mark 😂😂😂😂 I don’t feel two F’s bad for making well an hell over 50k a year from tinting, my tint shop is well surpassing that plus paying  employees, and the electric bill every month, also built the $45k shop  they all work in from giving people an honest price 😂 😂 if you’re over charging you’re over charging, good for you! Come visit my shop, cause I’ll show you what a legit shop that has 110% reliable customers look like! 
damn I’m done here for a while, my best wishes to all you tinters! 

I guess that’s the difference between a small town tinter an a big city tinter, small town treats every with a fair an reasonable price no matter what it is, an the city sees the brand of car an sky rockets the price, pretty greedy in my opinion 

If you look up tint stuff on your tube he has a little different way of tinting, he kinda rolls the sides in if that makes sense, it’s either tint stuff or tint studio 

Not sure if your meaning the little water that’s let behind or that it looks like it’s doing a weird peeling look around the edge? 
The little bit of water should be dried out sometimes it takes a little bit of a lot was left in,

but I 110% agree with that price, they gave you a price based on that badge on the front, my advice would be next time you need a couple windows done call the shop an ask about a cheaper car, way cheaper like a Ford Explorer or something, then call in with the lambo an ask why there’s a difference, cause that’s an insane price

Thanks everyone I appreciate it! 

A heat gun an a lil chizzler should take the little crease out, sometimes I get the crease to an that’s always worked for me

Yeah as long as there not huge spots they’ll dry out for ya

Shop needs to make it right.

brand new truck. That sucks.

They need to replace windshield and have one of their other installers reinstall and you can be sure they will pay attention next time.

Cheers

I agree, you should be able to take it back an they should be willing to replace your windshield an reinstall. 
or at least give your money back 

Oh heck I guess I’ve been 2 steppin this whole time I never even new it! 😂 yeah the front bottom of them can be a real pita for sure ! 
On tighter spots like that I always throw a little extra soap in myself it seems to help me a little 

Sorry I’m old school but what’s a 2 step? I’ve never removed any panels on anything I’ve done. I’ve done a few cx9’s an I haven’t removed anything at all? 

Sadly just like Coach Greg says “more Spews for more views” people do anything for attention an click bait these days

The other customers have to be factored in, you can either make the one C6 mad or all 3 or 4 customers mad. Some days i can't do stuff i do easily other days. 4 rear glass go bad in a row i'm done for the day, i don't think many of us would try 5.

I used to do a happy medium when I get a vette or VW bug in, I price it to where I’m willing to do it at, an I also say I’ll have it all day. The vettes I can got more often then not in the first round these days but the bug tests me, I’ll shrink either or until I get frustrated then walk over to the other car in line an work on it for a few until o get my bearings back, then go back to it

Also want to add you said you can’t feel the scratches, so that’s even more then likely on your first layer of tint, it’s kinda a live with it or do one layer of tint really

adding to it again sorry haha 

if your guessing your windows are 10% with two layers of film, why didn’t you just have someone install 5% film to begin with? It would be even darker an more happy by the sounds of it

If you rolled it down an back up an seen scratches the debris that’s scratching it is in your bottom seal for the window, you could pop it out an try to clean it but trust me you have so many microscopic particles in that seal you’ll never get it clean. Ive tinted brand new cars/trucks with less then 10 miles on them an have had people calling back asking what the vertical scratches are. Especially having double layer you have double the thickness, meaning that brings the tint out further into the seal to rub on. For the horizontal scratch more then likely it was there before an you didn’t notice it until you got the xtra layer put on, A cars glass can look relatively scratch free an the second you put tint on it it’ll show up every flaw in the window 

That’s great to hear! Do you order off there website or call in your order? 

We’ll just curious as to how well global is still holding up? I’m assuming pretty good but just wanted to get a little feed back. I’ve been using Johnson’s for years an it’s been great for me, but i got to digging around on here an got into the global threads an I think I’m wanting to give it a shot. Was thinking either the HP or NR quick. Any feed back is much appreciated!

Eventually I'm going to have it where you can toggle the background from dark tint to frosted glass. Coming soon. 👍

10-4 that’ll be awesome! 

I got a couple coming tomorrow I’ll try an take some pictures, but by the way how do I get my screen off this black background setting? I’ve fiddled around an can’t figure it out? I don’t mind it but when I click off here I get blasted with my white browser screen an I almost go blind 😂😂

The motorcycle? 

My personal opinion is get in touch with a reputable company an work with there film an learn from it, practicing with cheaper tint to get the feel for things is ok but once you move to better quality everything you learned from the cheap tint is out the window! In a sense, cause all film reacts in different ways, heat shrinking being the main one, I’d call around an get a few samples shipped to you from different companies an see what feels best to your hands an practice it until your finger tips bleed.

as for tips, When I started out doing this a buddy of mine showed me but I also was in the garage almost every night tinting my own 3 cars over and over and over. Id cut it out, install it on the inside, the peel it right back off an start again. Gather up a few buddys an tint there stuff, I even tinted probably the first 20-30 cars ever for free, I lost a lost of money up front but once you get it down it can be a very rewarding learning experience 

If i get one that bad I tell them right up front the tint ain’t going to be perfect by any means cause your cars a disaster, if you want it to turn out better I can do a quick detail for x$, better detail for $$ an actually detail it for $$$$$, they either agree it’ll look like garbage cause there cheap or they’ll pay, word of advice if they don’t mind paying the extra for the cleaning get the money upfront, I’ve seen it more then once people come back with only the money for the windows an try to leave without paying for the detail, thankfully my coworker is a 6’9 power lifter an when he steps out people seem to pay easier 😂😂

Good lord almighty!! It feels GREAT to be back here! It’s been an insane 2 years, with the world an business it’s been crazy crazy. Just wanted to say hello to everyone I’ve missed! I’ve personally cut back on tinting/detailing/ppf, the whole nine yards! Time for some family time!  And of course getting back here to help anyway I can!

The usual issue(s) are, the phone is ringing, the wife is pissed, materials delayed the clock is ticking and some jackwagon just walked in the front door to waste your time talking about his crappy used 3series....all while you're trying to turn out good work on nice car...did I mention that it's also hot as hell outside?  Yeah, some days are definitely like that. 

Totally forgot to add the random guy walking in! How could I?!? 😂😂 I do a lot of house calls, 25% shop work 75% house calls to give you an idea, an it never fails, the older gentleman with a nice corvette standing Right behind you watching or reaching up to help hold the film. I’m a very patient person but some have tested my nerves 😂

Did a few throw backs today
