Tints in Syrcuse

myrandom2003 · 09-01-2007, 08:23 PM

Hi... Just picked up my new 335xi three weeks ago

after ordering it in early june... I was just wondering if anyone from the syracuse area knows of a good tint shop... Plus I have the comfort access so I am guessing I will be getting ceramic tints because of the reported problems with the metallic ones..

Also, I actually bought my car in Ohio and moved here recently... Just wondering, how is the dealer here? Do they provide a loaner car and any speculation as to if they would do a loaner to someone who didnt buy the car from them?

I would drive down to Endicott New York and get it done at Tint Condition - You want to see David.

He has done 2 sets of flawless front windows on my trucks - no bubbles, no debris - lifetime warranty

When his colleague did one of my windows, I noticed a little "nick" and he fixed it up immediately by replacing them.

They're also pretty cheap - about $40 per side window.

dude...dont go to burdick...they suck! go to rochester for John holtz...so far the best...burdick always wants $$$ for everything! They dont have loaners unless you buy from them...and they always and only give $500 off new vehicles...everything is sold at MSRP there, no negotiations. ...oh when you drop your car off at burdick for service/repair...they'll make you sign a piece of paper saying that if the claim was not covered under warranty, you will have to pay for the time and part, including diagnostic.

As for tints, go to installations unlimited, they offer a lifetime warranty...but im not too sure about them now...i got tints from them in my previous car....and it had small bubbles (very small but it's still there) and they redone it like 3-4 times.....then the manager was like "we'll void your warranty after this claim"....so much for "lifetime".
