              • I have cars tinted in Sydney by Rob Silva @ hunters hill tinting and Dave @ Reflect Effect.

                Both jobs were awesome however I went with Dave for my golf as he has done so many of them for guys on the forums and knows them inside out. He also offers a bunch of other car detailing services and products which are handy.

                • Rob Silva did six Golf R's in the week that I had mine done, so I'd say he's pretty familiar with them too

                  • I couldn't wait and got mine done by Tint-a-car 3 days ago (midnight express).

                    Has issue with the tinting where the passenger glass behind driver seat has a big gap (4mm) around the B-Pillar and also a particle tinted over the rear glass (looks like a string) *noticeable even when looking at the rear mirror.

                    Went back today spoke with the owner, and being told that that's the way it is and to come back in a week when its fully dried since he don't have the time now.

                    What do you guys reckon?

                    • The "week to dry" thing is pretty standard. What may initially look like a defect, can clear up after a few days - especially if the car is left in the sunlight. But yeah, if there is 4mm gaps and bits of string under the tint, time isn't going to fix it.

                      I'm not sure what to suggest if you already spoke with the owner. Maybe Tint-a-car has a "Head office" where you could contact someone, send them some photos, and see if they can assist? (after the 1 week of course). However, if they're independant franchises with no "HQ", then all you can do is let everyone you know know that you are not happy with their work, and get the problems corrected by someone else...

                        Which Tint-a-car did you go to? And what did you think of hte Midnight express to match the back?

                        • Here is someone that you SHOULD NOT go to. He goes by the name of "Mr Cool"

                          I have done a couple of cars through him before and he seemed ok. However, when you do have problems he would give you a range of excuses saying it's the car's fault, windows fault and etc.

                          It's his workmanship that I question.

                          I am not happy with the tints and only had problems after inspecting it a couple of days later. He had overheard me on the phone at one stage complaining about it after having shown him the problem. He said he will fix it but there won't be any warranty on the job (which is pretty lame).

                          From my personal experience, I WOULD NOT recommend Mr Cool to anyone for their tinting.

                          Stay the hell away from him if you appreciate your car.

                            Thumbs up for Rob from me.

                            He did my 6R Polo GTI and it looks a treat. Quality job and no issues whatsoever.

                              It's also probably illegal, unless you specifically did something to invalidate your statutory warranty on goods and services.

                              • For guys in the inner west (sydney)...check out Oztint at Five Dock. Oz Tint - Home.

                                They actually do all the tint and protection work for Barloworld. But its at a fraction of the price, and you get to select what tint you want.

                                Couldn't be happier with the job.
