Last month I took my car to an auto customization shop to have window tint put on my car windows.
I bought a new car right off the showroom floor, and it only had eighteen miles on the speedometer.
The car had that new car smell that you seldom notice. I didn’t want my leather seats to begin to crack and fade because of the sun coming through the windows. My dad had told me that if I were to have window tinting installed, I could have a tint that would be sun reflective, and also keep the heat from building so quickly. I told the man at the auto shop what I wanted and he said he could take care of it. Two hours later, I came back from shopping, and was ready to pick up my car. When I saw it, I was ready to explode. The tint was so dark that I couldn’t see inside. I knew this was illegal, and I didn’t want to get in trouble before the car was even broken in. I told him I wanted a light window tint and not blackout. He said it would cost me extra to remove the present window tinting and have more installed. I asked to talk to his manager. I showed the manager where I said I wanted heat and sun protection, but I also wanted the window tinting to be as light as possible. The manager said it would take about two hours, but there would be no extra cost. He then called the technician who had done the window tinting, into his office.
