Will FX Auto honour their Lifetime Warranty if you DON\'T have an invoice in the future if (knock on wood) you need to go back to them?

Good point.
Plus I understand that there is suppose to be a \"nation wide\" warranty so you can take it into any \"certified formula 1\" dealer and have them fix it or something along those lines. Altho with quality work one should not even have to go back, unless it\'s another car they are getting done.

[bluntman]

Pay with credit card like me and they\'ll charge you taxes, and give you an invoice.

[SED]

There is a product lifetime warranty. He will give you a card for that. How you\'ll handle the labor lifetime warranty without an invoice, I have no idea...

[miggiddy]

quality work can go so far. an invoice will definitely be a must no matter where I get the job done.

[Soulcrusher]

You don\'t need an invoice for the lifetime warranty. As SED mentioned, Wayne will provide you with a FormulaOne Lifetime warranty card. Each card has a serial number. On the back of the warranty card it states:

The warranty card or proof of purchase, showing the type of film and date of installation, must be presented to the Formula One dealer to receive warranty service.

I\'m guessing that after you leave, he must update the FormulaOne database with your serial number and type of film purchased. That would be why only the warranty card is needed.

What are you guys talking about? I got the F1 warranty card and an official invoice with \"250 PAID\" written on it. I paid cash.

[wtom]

That card is for the tint right? What about the clear bra? I\'m more worried about that clear bra fading or going yellow on me in the future... that or the edges get layered with dust/wax/etc.

Snipe; so no need to pay taxes in order to get invoice? Not that it matters now as Soulcrusher quoted the requirements to fulfil lifetime warranty.

wtom,

Snipe; so no need to pay taxes in order to get invoice?

Correct.

If I got an invoice for the tint, I\'m sure you\'ll get one for the clear bra as well.

Hey guys, just joined the site. Can\'t believe everyone knows about FX auto already. Those guys did my tint and they did an amazing job. They did my brother\'s Altima and for some reason the windows started to malfunction and roll down by themselves. Wayne spent an hour with his guys fixing it. For sure any other place would have screwed us over and told us it wasn\'t their problem.

It\'s not an official invoice. It\'s a Work Order/Invoice form. He\'s probably using this as a work order. I received one also, but he didn\'t fill in the particulars (ie. my name, address, phone) and he didn\'t write down the type of film used.

Anyhow, the important thing is that all you need is the warranty card for service at any authorized FormulaOne dealer.

Well I finally got an appointment, unfortunately they were booked for this weekend and the next, and I got shafted due to the long weekend, so July 10th is the day I get a tint. So I get to hold onto my money for a little longer (what little I have). Can\'t wait, I\'m bakin\' when I get into the car.

I called up the detail shop last Sat. morning to see if anyone cancelled, buddy says no, asked what kind of car I had and offered me this coming Sat. How could I refuse As for price I think it\'s 245 plus tax, ofcourse I\'ll try the cash deal see what happens.

Hi Guys,

I gave FX Auto a call today and booked for 1:30pm on Friday 30th (company-wide day off, no pay tho).

Talked to Martin since Wayne was not in.

Prices are a bit juggled but here they are today, from Martin\'s mouth;

Tinting, any film type/level - $225
Rust Proofing, wax based, maintains factory drainage holes and no drilling - $249
Llumar clear bra protective film, front portion of hood, side fenders, mirrors - $175

[miggiddy]

$225 do it now! That\'s a great price.

I\'m there Friday June 23rd... My mom\'s getting her WRX done.

Forgetful me, I forgot to ask if his prices included tax (pay by cash) or tax extra...

Xenon\'s mom gonna say she\'s part of the WRX car club? heheheh...

[xoom]

I just called Wayne because I heard my car\'s gonna be ready on Monday, and the prices are still 250 for tint and 375 for tint and bra. He said there\'s no real discounts for us forum people, but we just get free upgrades to whatever type of film. I\'m assuming those prices are cash... so wtom, if you can get it for 225, that sounds like a deal! Does anybody know how long tint and/or bra takes to do?

[Xenon]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I\'m proud to announce that FX Auto is our first Tint Affiliate. Details on the affiliation will be available in the TM3 Affiliations Listing shortly.

[wtom]

My tints are DONE. Ended up with Comfort 38 but a little bit regretful I didn\'t go with Comfort 30. Less than two hours after start of the work by Logan, I was able to leave. At one point, three guys were working on the tint, including Martin himself! Wow! Great service! $225 cash tax-in! Lifetime warranty! Looks great! I\'ll post the pics later... not at home right now.

A+++ for FX Auto!
