All-Brite Glass & Tint Kitchener Rocks...

 My Google unedited review for my recent experience at this vendor.

Jackson rocks!

I made my decision to engage All-Brite based on the positive reviews on Google and a visit to their site. They have been in business long enough that this company would appear to have a great formula of making customers happy with their products and services.

I approached All-Brite and was greeted by Jackson. He is forthright and confident in his manner. He knows his products and pricing very well and I felt confident from the outset I wanted to do business with Jackson and All-Brite.

Jackson walked me through my options and answered my questions. I admit to stumping him on one thing but more on that later.

An appointment was made and I was excited to get my windows tinted for the look and privacy the tint would offer.

I had asked Jackson about a product they did not carry from one of their primary vendors, Madico, and Jackson took the initiative to look into it and called me later that day to discuss this product as a solution for my needs of windshield protection.

I WAS IMPRESSED!

I have experiene as a techinical sale engineer and know the value of prompt response to technical questions. I never expected Jackson to pick up the torch and run with it. I, in no way, mean to imply he would not have done it but in my experience many sales people do not extend themselves to expand their ability to help their clients. Jackson did this. And, perhaps, what I need may be something that will become of value to All-Brite and future customers.

That is what a partnership is about. My experience that it is not implied but for me customer engagement is that next step of reaching out and making new things happen.

Jackson did this and it really impressed me.

Now, finally, the service...

About a week later I took possession of my car and drove to All-Brite as I was concerned that the windows of the car were already tinted. A representative helped me by checking the tint with a meter and gave me assurance that my original decision on the tint for the windows would be fine.

She displayed a behaviour that was consistent with the level of service Jackson had offered.

The installation was great!

Special note to the installer... Wow. You are the unsung hero in all this. Jackson said you were the best and the application of the tint was FLAWLESS and really cemented my sense of satisfaction for the professional work you did for me.

As a former aircraft mechanic that type of talent amazes me and I was forever in awe of people that can have that attention to detail to consistenlty do a GREAT job. I was an engine guy and sheet metal (as similar skill to yours) scared the crap out of me.

To finish, the placard on the window switches is a great touch and Jackson was great getting a taxi for me to chill at Starbucks while I waited.

The car looks so good with the tint and I am so pleased I engaged All-Brite for my car.

Thank you all!

Today's mission is...

 Today was dedicated to getting a tint done on my Subie and going on a visit to a local Subaru parts and accessories shop.

Having done research into several local vendors I decided on All-Brite Glass and Tint in Kitchener, Ontario. I will post a more complete review of the process of getting this work done, suffice to say I am so pleased with the overall look and enhancement to the function of the tint. My main reason for the tint is related to when I travel. When going on an extended trip (1 to 2 weeks) I have to put the rear seats down to open up the cargo capacity of my car and having the dark tinted windows adds to privacy and security. Of course, when stopped overnight I remove all my belongings, but during the day and when stopped for doing tourist stuff it is comforting to know that it is difficult to see into my vehicle.

Once the tint was done I set out to the Subie Supply Co. in Brantford, Ontario.

Being excited to own a Subaru, a long-time dream, one does tend to gravitate to sites that help make your Subie your own.

As the 2024 Impreza RS is not "performance" oriented like the WRX because of its CVT transmission and it being sold in relatively small numbers compared to other Subaru models it is a bit orphaned in the aftermarket department for accessories and parts. Some parts for the Crosstek will adapt for use on the Impreza and that is one alternative route to "soup up" my Subie.

But... There are still things you can do and I will share with you my additions or substitutions. There won't be any major mods to my Subie as she has to remain "stock" until the engine warranty is complete. There are some engine mods I can make for functional and appearance benefits.

As to the tint...

The window switch is placarded to not use the windows for between 3 to 5 days to protect the tint and avoid damaging it. And I have placed a daily reminder in my Google Calendar to help prevent me from using the power windows

No Drive Though for YOU!
