There is a vinyl wrap shop out her that is an authorized Xpel PPF installer. For tint, he subs out. 'gram decked out with exotics and supercars, showroom has a myriad mix of cars. It doesn't guarantee quality IMO....


I watched as they were doing mods on a G Wagon and was using an angle grinder to cut a part away.....between seeing the hot sparky steel dust and the sheer proximity of the adjacent cars/cars, I was in utter disbelief that the car owners were not even aware of what their cars were subjected to in the care of this shop owner.

I would definitely get a refund instead of having them try correcting it again. With things like tint, 4 times to try and get it right is unacceptable. It’s a lot of time wasted when a more reputable shop could get you done right.

Has anyone seen this happen to window? It looks to me like the tinting cracked or split for some reason. I picked up my 2025 x5 40i at the Performance Delivery Program in South Carolina early October. Drove home through Pittsburgh to Boston area and after a couple of months I noticed these defects on driver side window and back passenger window. I wash car either by hand or no touch car wash. I use Windex and Sprayway Window Cleaner with micro cloth. Brought it to dealer and they said they were scratches not defect in tinting. But I am not sure that is the case. I am looking to see if this could be warranty work. I did not notice when picking up car so something happened and I don’t think it is scratches based on characteristics of defects and locations.

First time getting tints ever, and when I had the tints installed initially, there were bubbles/lint dust so had to have them corrected within warranty.. 3x times… each time I had the windows corrected, one of the windows would have an issue with it so I would have to go back. And now I have to go again for my passenger side window

***Wow. That tint job is *garbage* I'd ask for my money back or have them make it right.

I'm not even a tinter but could probably have done a better job with one of those kits from Advance Auto, an Xacto knife and a bright warm day so it is less likely to bubble.

Ridiculous your car was let out of the shop with that crappy job.
