If your are willing to spend over RM1.5k +++ to tint your car, I would advise you to select few reputable brand film and see + demo the film. Otherwise, you should just look around in Groupon.

My advice is get your car and visit the shop

If you dont have security tint, i bet the video is less than 30 seconds

VK Elite for your model is about RM 2000 - 2500 +++
I don't think you cant get HO or 3M with good rejection with budget below 1.5k

[quote=kmunz,Nov 5 2013, 08:16 PM]Just came from tint solution and would like to share my bad experience with tint solution kuchai lama.
I brought their package from Groupon, http://www.groupon.my/deals/klang-valley-k...ution/717703693 and made appointment with them at 2pm today. Understand that there will be no quality assurance as I brought a cheap tint package hence I will not comment on it but I am quite satisfy with the quality for the price I paid.

The biggest problem with tint solution kuchai lama is the attitude of their staff.

1) when redeeming the voucher I was introduced to upgrade to better package for rm200 - rm300. Once rejected the package, the staff (i believe name kar wai) face straightaway go black and telling me rudely that its up to you because it's cheaper if you upgrade now. Then I told her i am happy with the side and back windows heat rejection in the package and I don't want to waste money just because front tint heat rejections is 58%. I continue telling her That I  will tint 2nd layer for front in future. She reply that I can't tint 2nd layer and I will need to remove old one which will be an additional charges. Come on, I hv friends tint multiple layer. As long as the bottom layer tint well, it will be good.

The upgrade to better package is a marketing plan  . Normally we do not advise to tint 2nd layer on the FWS because

1. 1st layer need to be remove otherwise warranty is void.
2. Even if you put 2nd layer on top the 1st layer, your FWS will become blur and hazzy due to the thickness of the 1st and 2nd layer. It will affect your FWS visibility when you are driving at night.
3. Double layer only can apply on the side windows and BWS. Why? Because of the glass difference, the FWS is laminating glass while all the side and back is tempered glass.

I hope you understand this point.

2) Today I reach 1pm although my appointment is at 2pm, but they started to work on my car only around 4:30pm. I am wondering why they ask the customer to make appointment since they cannot adhere to it. Might as well telling the customer 1st come 1st serve basis.

They failed to arrange the installation time period properly.

3)inform by them around 5pm that they are unable to remove my old backscreen tint (old tint is gold dust). I ask them why and answer given to me was that because it is unable to remove  then I ask why can't it be remove since all other windows is able to remove. is the screen use special glue? and a guy intercept and told me by right tint should be remove once it reach 5yrs. So I ask him does it means that all tint lifespan is 5yrs? And why outside in the market there are tint offering 7 to 10yrs warranty? Then he continue telling me no one drive a car for 10yrs    I straightaway brush him off by telling him I drive my car 13yrs (a nissan cefiro A32) and what do you mean no one drive a car for 10yrs? Moreover average malaysian drive a car for 10yrs due to loan period. Immediately he just walk away rudely and the lady talked to me earlier start to raise her voice telling me to remove my old tint at the place I installed it then come back to them for rear screen tinting. I could not bear with her tone and therefore I raise my voice intentionally  and demand for a more proper answer instead of lame excuses

This is bullshit, all the film can be remove even it is more than 10 years. But sometimes when we remove the BWS tint, it might spoil the demister.

Although i have some problem with some idiotic and lame staff, Luckily there is still a staff name crystal who have the patient to explain to me on the problem and give me advise on what I should do with the rear screen tint. As you can see the service level that they are providing is so low.  you may try your luck to get better service by paying the tint in full price but I literally doubt they will provide better service! Furthermore I do not agree that if you are paying cheap you will get stupid service. I AM STILL PAYING! AND IF YOU CAN DO SUCH THING, I DON'T THINK YOU WILL ABLE TO GET A GOOD AFTER SALES SERVICE!

The price you pay has nothing to do with the SERVICE.

Its very rare to see 4 ppl manage 1 car. Normally we set 2 person in team.
The time taken to complete the whole car affected by few reason such as

1. Experience
2. Size of the car windows
3. Difficulty

From my experience, Honda City vs VW Beetle. Although the windows size is almost the same but
VW Beetle will take up to 4 hours to tint while Honda City only need about 2 hours.

By the way, the demister line can not be remove. We have to apply film on the demister.

However, I always advice customer do not rush us and give us sufficient time to complete the tint on the car.

Are you mean this demister? http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=784133
I never heard it can be remove

The price of consumer willing to pay is equal to QUALITY not time consuming
Are you saying that we, VKool can do faster if you willing to pay more?

Mind to describe more?

If the theft spot any valuable thing in your car, definitely they will hit

Depends but I could tell you RM99 tinted you cant complain

Solar Gard do not have IRR as they believe the IRR reading is misleading customer,
therefore the only to compare is TSER

Depends, you can tint as dark or reflective as possible because we do not
need to comply with JPJ rules

Are you serious ? That's damn fast

Thx for clarification and support -)

Certain glass help to reduce heat but it not good as glass with a film. My advice is, tint your car and test drive for 1 month. If still feel hot, then sunroof is necessary...
