I new frank for about 10 years and had a lot of vehicles' windows tinted by him. He tinted the…read morewindows of a red Honda Prelude that my business owned, but my wife drove it awhile. Within 24 months the tint was turning purple. He was always painfully slow. It was so bad that I stopped referring my clients to use his services. After I sold my business in 2017, I took early retirement. I had my 1995 Chevrolet Impala SS, that I bought brand new, stripped to bare metal and repainted the GM Dark Cherry Metallic. With refurbishing the wheels, new Nitto 555 tires, new carpet, some work on the rear leather seat, a new headliner, all new General Motors NOS headlamps, side marker lamps, tail light housings and finally a GARBAGE window tint installation, I had $13,500 wrap up in it. I paid cash for everything. frank's perfection tint job on the car's rear glass had been cut short and dayllight shines in. SLOPPY. Then boy genius left the key on and killed the battery. Next, he used a box cutter to shave away and destroy the positive side terminal battery cable because he was unaware that all GM vehicles have a remote pole to make jump starting the car if needed. I live exactly 1.1 miles from his tiny shop that he rents. He claimed to not have my phone number because he wasn't going to be able to reach any of his customer, by phone, when their car was FINALLY ready to be picked up. WHAT!?!?!!!!! Have you have never heard of a lap top computer? How do you track your invoices for tax purposes? Maybe that's why he demanded cash payment always. But, in all seriousness, an actual business like the one I owned, utilize software that you input and store customers' name, address, VIN on the vehicle, history of previous services, CONTACT PHONE NUMBER, the labor cost and parts cost. It also calculates SALES TAX if you pay them. The software gives a shop the ability to provide an actual receipt to a client. All reputable auto businesses use QuickBooks AT MINIMUM. I took him to small claims court. A bunch of people that weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty found him "not responsible" for the damage he did to my Impala. I provided clear photographs of the red shavings he hacked off of the cable. It looked like a rabid squirrel got in there. I "lost", but he knows he's responsible...he did it. I did close his business down for three days while he was in the courthouse. I bet his rent was late. This guy is a HACK. It goes back to "if you can't do your friends dirty, how are you going to rip off the feral public?" Good luck to you.
