Car Tinting

[EVOIV]

Hi,

Can someone please recommend a reputable place in Adelaide to get my car tint removed, pass thru regency, and then re-tinted?

I'm looking for a top quality place please, no bodge jobs

Cheers!

I & many other SAU:SA people have used Auto Perfection (Main North Road, Enfield)

They did a good job on my car.

Just a question relatin to tint-I took the chaser thru regency yesterday and the tint was too dark so they got me to peel it up enough so it had to be replaced-that way they would

pass it, but I want to know If you can damage the rear window (the lines set in the window to defrost it). If I peel the tint of the rear window is it going to ruin these-?any particular way to do this,or best to get one of the above guys to do it?cheers

Not making any promises but just dont cut any of the lines with a blade. So get a blade and get a corner started but done use the blade in the middle of the window.

AS long as you dont cut the demister lines then Ive never had any problems

I can't tell you who to go to, but i can tell you NOT to go to Auto Perfection.

I unfortunately bought into the last SAU SA group buy, for two cars, the front windows of the stagea and full tint for my Chaser. Both times I was told to get there in the morning before about 10 and car would be ready by around lunch. Both times I did not get the car back until 5 or 5:30 then was palmed off some bullshit excuse that differed wildly from what I was first told, or told again when I called to see how the car was going.

The second time my wife and I spent the majority of the afternoon (4hrs+), sitting in the waiting area, listening to the pig of an owner verbally abuse his receptionist repeatedly, then whenever an angry customer arrived (we counted 5 in the time that we were there, out of about 7 customers total), he would scurry out the back, telling his receptionist that "he wasn't there", to leave her to take the beating. One poor woman who was also waiting on tint and had dropped her car off at around noon, came back just before we were leaving, to see that her car hadn't even made it into the workshop yet.

What's more, I now have a 3-4 inch long scratch on my driver's side window, pin-prick holes on the passenger side tint and the tint looks like it hasn't bonded to the rear windscreen properly. But i absolutely REFUSE to take it anywhere near them and will have nothing to do with them further.

This is my personal experience. Not my friend's friend's friend's (although I have heard those as well). If I had my time again, I would have paid the $30 or so that I saved in the group buy and gone to somewhere like instant windscreens, where they're nice, they do their job in the timeframe they specify ad you get quality work.

Auto Perfection burnt the f.......k out of my roof lining all the way across my back window when tinting

I could not believe they could do this much damage with a heat gun ,

GO ELSEWHERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +1

i had to peel a bit off so regency could see it was damaged enough to have to be replaced just so they would let it pass. I peeled the top corner not using a knife just ripped a bit up with my finger and started peeling it off. it peeled off over the line and the bit i peeled off looked like it had a bit of the line on it, I wasnt sure if it was just colour or part of it so i stopped. Guess i should play safe and take it to a tinter unless its definate I wont wreck it. thanks mate

Not impressed with Auto Perfection after the last group buy.

They 'lost' my booking, misplaced all paperwork, reception was useless at explaining anything and the customer service was disgraceful.
