I paid $900.30 to have my Q3 tinted. My issue is not that something went wrong. Mistakes happen. My issue is how many times I had to return to get the job done correctly, and how the owner responded when the final problem was caused by something his own associate failed to catch during the first three visits.Here’s what happened:Visit 1: Quote and options.Visit 2: Installation. The associate ran out of film for the back half of the sunroof, so I had to return.Visit 3: He finished the sunroof, but I also pointed out bubbling on the windshield. He said I needed another appointment because correcting it would take longer.Visit 4: I returned for the windshield. That is when the associate told me my windshield was already tinted, meaning he had installed their new film over the old film during Visit 2. He had three opportunities to notice this before my fourth visit. He admitted he had missed it, then told me I needed to pay another $50 to remove it.I had already paid a $150 removal fee. My receipt does not state that the windshield was excluded. How is a customer supposed to know that?Why should the customer absorb the consequences of a mistake the business had multiple opportunities to catch?After $900 and repeated appointments, I think the reasonable response from the owner, Will, would have been: “Sorry we didn’t catch this earlier and that you’ve had to return again. We’ll waive the additional $50 removal fee and make this right.”That would have resolved the issue for me.Instead, Will told me: “Sir you are beyond out of line,” and “Go ahead and post a review and the public can see how ridiculous this is.”So here we are. I’ll give the public the facts and let them decide.To be completely transparent, Will did refund the windshield portion of the job. But that did not resolve the issue because I hired them to remove the old film and install their new film so the entire vehicle would be consistent. Refunding only the windshield left me without the completed job I originally paid for.Had I not returned because of the bubbling, I would have been driving around with new tint installed over old tint without even knowing it.So the question remains: why should I have to pay even more to correct something they failed to identify during the first three visits?I also want to disclose my own language because I expect it to appear in the owner’s response. After Will told me I was “beyond out of line,” I told him that a negative review would cost his business more than the $50 his associate was asking me to pay. I also told him he could resolve the situation or refund all of my money before I wrote negative reviews about my experience.I stand by the underlying point, and customers can judge that exchange for themselves. I am not hiding it.Businesses make mistakes. What tells me far more about a business is what happens after the mistake is discovered.Put yourself in my position:• You paid $900.• The shop couldn’t finish the job because it ran out of material.• You came back.• You found a problem with the windshield and needed another appointment.• You came back again.• On the fourth visit, the associate admitted he had missed the existing tint and now wanted another $50 to correct it.As a customer, how would you feel if a business effectively told you, “We missed this earlier, but now you need to pay us $50 more to deal with it”?For me, that is where an understandable mistake became poor customer service.Prospective customers: you decide whether you want to put your money and time in their hands.If Will refunds me for the full job that should have been completed correctly from the beginning, I will remove this review entirely, and you have my word.Otherwise, this review will remain as an accurate account of my experience.The part I find most remarkable is that all of this could have been resolved with an apology, ownership of the mistake, and a waived $50 fee.
