Eoi - Window Tinting

[ontheranch]

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking into getting my windows tinted, I'm thinking I might try and get some group discounts. Would anyone be interested? I have spoken with Tint-a-Car Gawler and they are willing to negotiate a price with a group.

Cheers,

Penny

Wouldn't it be better to approach an existing sponsor like Auto Perfection?

Im prepared to get prices from a few suppliers.

I work in procurement so naturally whoever presents the best value for money wins the job.

[nicr4wks]

Details on the type of tint, and maybe their rrp so we have a base price to budget for? Obviously the end price will change depending how many people are in.

+1 to Ric if you want i can ring him and let him know your interested in running a group buy through his store, im guessing you know also that when getting prospective quotes that you dont let each of them know how much others have offered to do the job for

[Boof R33]

i am keen might get 2 cars done depending

[ontheranch]

Yeah I know how it works, I will need to know what our requirements are (product wise) and an estimated number of people interested.

Makes our business more attractive, hence hopefully a more competitive offer.

I am aware of the SunGuard range (what Auto Perfection use) and the Tint-a-Car range.

Once I know our requirements then I can flick a few emails out and make a few calls and see who comes back with the best group offer.

Soooo who is interested and what sort of tint are you after?

Id put links up but I'm on my phone and I'm pretty sure we can all google. Haha

could be keen on getting the falcon done, been meaning to for a while.

[pistol-pete]

i might be keen too if the price/product is right. and if its not in gawler

[Madaz]

yeah i reckon gawler tint a car only really suit 3 people

i been thinking a lot about this too and it doesn't show good will towards a PAID club sponsor

Ric has helped the club out HEAPS with all sorts and its a bit of a smack to his face trying to play him off against other tint places

i will speak with the admins and fellow executives about this and sorry to say but thread may disappear

EDIT

sorry if i sounded a little harsh i do commend the thoughts behind this

Steve, give me a call back and I'll detail my thoughts on this.

Perhaps get in contact with them anyway (Steve or Penny) and see what they can do with regards to a group buy. Like Steve said, they're a sponsor already with a 10% and I'm sure they'll look after us. Lets not also forget that we've had a long term relationship with Auto Perfection long before they supported the club, as many people have been happy with their work and pricing ... so we're not recommending them based on their sponsorship alone. Food for thought.

Having said that now, I'll put my money where my mouth is ... I like to get the front windows (except windshield) tinted a little heavier now we have these new laws on tinting.

[ontheranch]

Yeah no worries, didn't realise they were paid sponsers. I was looking for myself and thought I'd sus it for others at the same time.

I don't know the guys at Auto Perfection nor the SunGuard products so if someone wants to discuss it with them then go for it.

[jrm]

I've been meaning to get my R34 fronts done since the new tinting laws came into effect in January - so if there's a group-buy, seems like a good opportunity

[Madaz]

yeah im happy to help Penny i certainly dont want to shoot you down and i also dont want people to think they MUST use club sponsors

im trying to find the fine line with pleasing sponsor and club members/forum user

[typevu]

I dont think we even need another group buy... Auto Perfection gives us a good price already. I've had my R33 done with them last time, got the old man's Delica done aswell and I'll be having the GTR tinted by them aswell. Also had the alarm system on the GTR supplied and fitted by them and the alarm system in my daily fitted by them.

I may have 2 cars for a full 4 doors and rear windows but only if it's more central. The money I'd save would be spent on petrol getting there haha.

Also not keen on that sun guard stuff. It lifted on my rear dimisters and wouldn't sit flush with air bubbles init.

In about a month I will be looking for 2 front windows done in 20% - must be black/charcoal tint to match factory rear privacy glass of Legnum. Ric has done my other legnum in the past, would like to go back there if the price is right.
