Back story - There used to be a audio/tint shop in my town that I had 3 of my vehicles tinted at. I got to know the owner of the shop decently as one of my cars or my friends cars always seemed to be in his shop getting one thing or another done. I never became "friends" with this guy, never hung out wth him, never saw him outside of when I was at his shop. His shop closed four or five YEARS ago. I haven't seen the owner since his shop closed.
Today - I set up an appointment to get my wifes Jeep tinted at a shop I have used for my last 3 vehicles. I have never had an issue with them and they did great work on my cummins when I had it. I drop my wifes Jeep off at 8am to get the tint done. The workers of the shop asked what percentage tint I'd like done and I told them 35% all around. This is my wifes ride, not mine, I didn't want the thing blacked out with her running over small children and elderly people at night. She is a woman after all ;-). So I just went with the legal limit as she really just wanted the windows a bit darker, not blacked out.
Noon today - I log on to my laptop to check my emails and it shows I have a message on facebook from the owner of the shop I used to go to for tint YEARS ago :dw:. So I log on facebook wondering how the hell this guy A. Remembered who I was and B. How or why he took the time to find me on facebook as I have never been his friend on the site. This is a direct copy/paste of his message .
"dont know why yud bring jeep to pacesetters and not me, yur paying more for me to do it there and yur going wrong darkness, yur gonna regret it"
Pacesetters is the name of the shop doing my tint today and I guess the guy now does window tinting out of his garage. I guess pacesetters out sources their tint to him but he comes to their shop and does it.
Him doing the tint doesn't bother me, him sending me messages about it does. I didn't respond to the message as it pissed me off a bit and I was going to bring it up with the shop when I pick it up.
About ten minutes ago I got a text that read "Yur doing the wrong % tint, it wnt look good. I do jeeps 20%. Isnt wise."
Now I am pissed off a bit more. Not only is this guy finding me online and sending me messages he is getting my # from the shop and sending me texts. Am I out of line for being pissed about this? I find it very unprofessional of him to be doing this. Obviously he just wants the money for himself but I would rather pay more for a shop to do my work and give me a lifetime warranty rather than some guy doing it out of his garage. Also he may just be trying to advise me to do something else but I didn't ask for his opinion, don't care what he thinks it will look like, and really think he could have gone about it differently.
I plan to bring this up when I go to get the Jeep but I am not sure exactly how to go about it. I wanted to call now and bring it up but the last thing I want is a pissed off guy working on our brand new Jeep. So SVTP, am I out of line to be pissed? What would you guys do in this situation.
Pics of wife have already been posted, so "pics of wife or ban" posts are moot.
