Many car owners make the mistake of not enquiring more details about the car tinting package before signing up for it.
Though the specifications of the chosen car window tint is important, the warranty that comes with it is equally important too!
You will need to find out on the type of warranty you will be getting and what kind of defect is covered and what is not.
Don’t be afraid to ask the car tint installer for more details to prevent misunderstandings in the future.
One of the most important things to find out about your car window tint warranty is whether it is a shop-level warranty or a manufacturer warranty.
If it is a shop-level warranty, it means that if there are some problems with the window tints that were newly installed, you can only go back to that workshop, regardless of the brand of the car window tint.
Having a manufacturer warranty on the other hand, allows you to claim your warranty at any workshop that are authorized by the manufacturer brand.
The recommended warranty to have is definitely the manufacturer warranty over the shop-level warranty as you might never know when the workshop might go out of business and you will not be able to claim your warranty if anything should happen.
This is why it is important to choose a proper and authorized workshop to install your window tint as they are trained to apply the tint according to specific instructions by the brand.
The things that a warranty covers are varied and depends on the brand of the car tint that you prefer.
Of course, if your hands are itchy during the curing period and you do something to the car tint that damages it, no warranty will be able to save you from burning your pocket a second time.
For most of the car tint warranty, it covers defects such as bubbling, peeling, cracking, adhesive failures, demetalization, and delamination.
Another thing to know is that most of the warranty does not cover the removal of tint by JPJ.
This means that if you do not comply with the guidelines set by JPJ on how dark your car tint can be and get a fine for it, the removal of your car tint will not be covered by the manufacturer or workshop.
Most of the time, car tint installers will advise you on JPJ’s guidelines but if you decided to not follow, then you must bear the risk.
As you can see, there are many aspects to the car tint warranty that you might overlook when signing up for a car window tint package.
So make sure that you get all the information about the warranty and get the car tint installer to explain all the details to you.
Investing in a window tint is a big deal so you definitely want to make sure you get your money’s worth and a car window tint warranty that is valid and beneficial to you and your car.
