Long story short(er). Used to work for this large dealership... Did their accessories and Tint work on the side. Brought them home literally every single night. Let them order and stock their own film. Cut prices.. went out full time for my self years past everything was peachy.  Recently they send literally all the Tint work to the $99 guy down the road. Call me to fix screw ups. Stopped  calling for spray in liners-also to another cheapo down the road-also call me for screw ups. Other than that in months and months the only calls I get is for the crap no one else knows how to do... in depth audio/video or esp remote starts on new vehicles. As bad as all that is they screwed me out of a grand at the beginning of the year!  As long as I’ve been doing this I thought I’d protected myself from this sorta thing!  Well finally had it and in a bit of a rage got a call from them wanting... you guess remote start. Told em I had no desire to do it nor the desire to conduct ANY business with them in the future. Got calls from management- expressed my many concerns and by the end of the conversation told em to F*** OFF!  Did I screw up guys?  Honestly?  I stay 7-10 booked out through the entire year and further at Christmas and tax season...  has anyone else hit a point where it wasn’t worth it with a dealership?

That’s one thing I can say... payment was never an issue until that one time... and from then on out I got payment when I picked vehicle up. Not when I dropped it off. I have 3 other dealerships I do a lot of work for that don’t even flinch at my prices. Cuz we’ll lets face it they’re gonna triple it anyways so more I charge the more they make!  But this shit with sending gravy to the fly by night asshole then call me for the shit that takes actual intelligence to complete isn’t gonna fly. I’m just curious if I shoulda handled it differently or if I’m justified in the outcome

Suntek is known for being bad with Low Angle Haze.  All window films have it, Ceramics tend to have it more...basically what is blocking the heat is causing it to be more noticeable.  IMO this is something subjective...some people will notice more than others.  Personally never have seen an issue with Llumar along with never having a customer complain about it, but some others say it has too much.  I did have a customer ask about it on 3M Color Stable and seen couple of complaints online about it from consumers, but two of the guys in our shop with it never have noticed it.

I clean flush... scrap flush.. wipe flush... scrub flush... then squeegee and flush.  Old cars just suck!  Or being here in Georgia. Red mud all in new trucks that play in the mud 

Well man sadly you're the prime example of you should take it to a professional. There's a reason we charge the prices that we do for it and I believe now maybe you can see that. If I'm in your shoes I stop what I'm doing now and take it to a professional to have it done. We have special tools and techniques to remove said film without damaging the car. Hopefully it's a lesson learned.

Shop B doesn’t smell quite right... @DynamicATL even said. The price on Pinnacle is too low... look at this way we carry a line of film... guy 15 min down the road supposedly carries same line. I’m 30% higher on pricing across the board. My shop stays packed 90% of the time with as many repeat customers and new ones. Guy down the street is cheaper. Most of his clients are first time and last time customers. Usually someone that close in proximity charging that much more for the the same film has the confidence that THEY are worth it. Maybe not just the film. The installers. The sales team. The prep work. The quality of install and the customer service to back it up. Those are qualities no brand of film can touch. Shop A seems to be the go to

Hello Tinters and PPF'ers,
 
We are now in stock on Fusion Tint Tools and are carrying everything they make. We can help you out with those hard to find tint tools from Fusion that no one else seems to carry. If you need a Fusion Tool Catalog and Tool pricing just send me a PM and I will message you back a link that has downloadable catalog and pricing.

Is there anything you do like?

If you're dead set on ordering online check out express window films, specifically the classic black line up. It's a great film that will last in Florida as I have a few buddy's that use it there.
 
If you're interested in getting hooked up with an awesome company check out solar fx from dragon distributing. Great customer service and products to match.

IRFX is my number one seller now. Second to that I sell the hell out of the hybrid line. Can’t go wrong with the carbonfx thiugh

I would do carbonfx or ultrafx as my dye line. Then i would do IRFX for an upgrade. Ceramic is expensive so i would stick with those two for now and when you get btter and make more, add the FXtreme.

Well, in answer to your question - No.
 
I think this topic has run it's course... locked for now. Bossman can veto this if he wishes.
