Tinting in melbourne

[Ammo]

Well i checked out Rob's website and the reviews here and gave him a call for my VW Passat Wagon.

He did not want to touch these either due to the door panels being finicky.

He suggested i give my business to the dealer.

Crap...

Anyone got a tinter in Melbourne?

He also politely rejected my Polo.

I ended up going off peoples recommendations here & took it to Tint-a-car in North Melbourne. Quick (a couple of hours I think), professional service. They had a special deal going; $295 I think, so they ended up being even better value. If you want before & after pics of the tint, I can link you to them. Just gotto remember where they are.

I swear i dont know where an idiot like that got such a good reputation. Shows you that life ain't fair. I got mine done at tint-a-car and they did a great job. Not just that, it took them less than 45min, they didn't need to take off any door trim, and the back window is done with one piece of film. All that and they were cheaper and i have a lifetime warranty on it to. I'm really happy that he refused as if he would have accepted he would have probably done a crap job considering his reaction to how complex the car is.

Rob doesn't seem to like any VWs these days. I have heard so many stories of him turning away business where other tinters have no problems at all.

Obviously he's got enough easy jobs to keep the money flowing in.

Try Rob at Cartint in Ringwood - http://www.cartint.net.au/ - he did my red GTI (and black cars previously) brilliantly. His darkest tint doesn't have that silvery look many have.

He's been tinting for years and does many show cars - you may pay a little more, but he's good. Mind you, after doing my Polo he said it was a bugger of a job, so he may not like my referring you...

But if you say Amy sent you it may help.

i had the same problem with rob, he refused to do my passat wagon, having previously done my subaru....i ended up getting the dealer to do it for piece of mind...paid around $350....

whilst i admire rob's honesty, how can someone be considered the best if they reject work that others can do without problems ???

The best at all the easy stuff?


Seems strange that he would build up such a loyal customer base & then start turning them away.

[gead]

maybe its just anal retentiveness gone mad....his standards are so high, he sees flaws where us mere mortals see nice dark windows....

what i heard was that he used to be good but he just hasn't kept up and other places caught up in the quality of their work. That was said by the guy that owns the shop I got it done at.

This post was from 2008. Has anyone in more recent times used Rob from Car Tint in Ringwood? If so, would you recommend him.

Thanks
