Thumbs down {VB} TNT Tinting

OK, so this is gonna be a little long but I thought I would share this with the rest of the 757 on these boards.

I got the windows tinted in my wife's 08 camry about 2 months ago at TNT. I got it 35% front windows, 25% back windows and 25% rear windshield. I signed the form stating that I knew it was illegal in VA so there was no confusion that I knew about it.

5 days later, when it was supposed to be safe to roll the windows down and all the bubbles were supposed to be out, i took a good look around the car and found that only 2 windows out of 5 )rear windshield and drivers window) were without bubbles and the passenger window peeled after I rolled it down and tried to put it back up. I took it back to them and the guy apologized and they fixed it that day. After 5 more days, the windows were fine.

On December 7th, I got pulled over at the oceanfront and the police officer stuck his window tint gauge thingy on my windows and saw it was illegal. I got a ticket and went about my business. SO after a couple of heated debates, my wife and I decided we didnt want to take the risk and get them re-done with VA legal tint.

SO my wife makes an appointment to take the car up 2 weeks ago. They re-did the windows, charged my wife $200.00 for 50% front, 35% rear and said since they werent re-doing the back windshield, they would give her $20 off.

Last night we went up to the 2nd precinct and asked for the officer who gave us the ticket (he told us if we fixed it, he would tear the ticket up and dismiss it) to have him test the windows to get this thing over with. My front windows tested 45% (STILL illegal) and my back windows tested EXACTLY the same as they did when we got pulled over (21%).

Te whole point of this story is they scammed my wife into thinking they re-did all the windows when clearly they didn't even touch the rears. I am headed on my way there in 30 minutes to get my money back. If any of you guys go to TNT (which I highly discourage) please keep a watchful eye on what you are paying for.


Hope this helps someone save some money and a headache.
