yeah unfortunately i find a lot of people don't really give a crap about quality anymore, they want it done ASAP so that they can move on to the next job and make more money in a shorter amount of time. It's like when I've gone to some places before and the people say "the guy was here maybe 45 minutes..."...and I say it takes about 2 hours to do something, I and many of my clients think the same, if you take a little longer and get it done right the first time it'll be better for both in the end!

LoL I had to take it back to them so they could look at it. The lady that owns the store told me over the phone that it could be an optical illusion because of the curves, I was like no its crooked lady. Then she proceeded to tell me that she was worried about the quality of the vinyl she says it will probably only last me 3-4 years at the most. Needless to say they are redoing it on Tuesday under my supervision to make sure it goes on straight and apparently it will be with their vinyl which they say lasts 7 years.

When doing vinyl on a vehicle, the MINIMUM life of the product being used should be at least7 years. All pressure-sensitive vinyl will shrink during it's life, but the high performance ones hold up much better than the intermediate. The difference in technical terms is called 'calendered' compared to 'cast'. One is a thinner material, usually 2 mil, while the less durable products are usually 3 or 4 mil. Most vinyl companies make products rated at 4, 5, 6 and 7 years, but everything I use (unless it's for temporary use like a banner, or other temporary signs) is rates at 9 years exterior use, which is the thinner, 2 mil.
If the company you used for installation applied it crooked, they should definitely make good for their mistake. But, if what she told you is right, that it was a lower grade material, I can't disagree with her that you might run into performacne issues after a few years. I guess the only way to tell for sure is to have Klings tell you what product he uses.

Yeah I think she just wanted me to buy her product. I told her ahead of time I bought the decals elsewhere and I just needed them installed, she should have told me no if she didn't like it.
