Is there a labor charge for the film provided by the 4S store?
2 Answers
The window film provided by the 4S store does not require a labor charge. Below is relevant information about car films: 1. Classification of car films: (1) Coated and composite process films, whose main function is to block strong sunlight; dyed films, most of the dyed car films on the market use deep-dyeing technology, which involves adding heat absorbers through deep-dyeing methods to absorb infrared rays from sunlight for heat insulation. (2) Vacuum thermal evaporation films, which use vacuum thermal evaporation technology to evaporate an aluminum layer onto the substrate for heat insulation; metal magnetron sputtering films. 2. Functions of car films: creating the best aesthetic appeal, improving explosion-proof performance, enhancing air conditioning efficiency, resisting harmful ultraviolet rays, and ensuring passenger privacy.
When I bought the car, the 4S store said they would give me window tinting, and I was excited thinking it was completely free. On the day of pickup after installation, they suddenly said there was a labor fee of 300 yuan, and I was stunned. Upon checking the purchase contract, I found the fine print stating 'materials are free, labor charged separately.' Later, I realized that window tinting requires a professional to handle cutting and pasting, taking an average of 2 hours, with costs ranging from 100 to 500 yuan being reasonable. My advice is to take photos of the terms when buying a car and directly ask the salesperson if installation fees are included. Don’t make the same small oversight I did and end up spending unnecessary money. Safety is most important—poorly applied film can peel off and affect visibility.
