Heh folks,
Wondering if anyone has a tint shop that they have used and would recommend. I am interested in quality and price.

:D i live in victoria and got quotes from three different shops, and they were all around 250$ to 300$ for all back windows and also the passenger and driver side windows (illigal but everybody does it and you can go safely as far as 35% tint on those two windows) i will get mine done soon, all 7 windows 275$ doesn't matter how dark you want them tinted, its the same price.. make sure you get a warranty, (3 years at least) and never use amonia based cleaner on the windows once tinted as this would destroy the film and void your warranty.. hope that gives you an idea, cheers!

I've used Street Legal Tint on Marine Way in the past. I little pricey but you pay for quality. They'll cut a deal if you pay cash (is that legal?) :wink:

used a guy on lower lonsdale in N Vancouver $250 for all 5 rear windows.. decent Job. But he said doing the rear gate window was a huge pain in the ass.

certainly a must have item.. I got the darkest "limo" tint.

Heh there Biozach,
How much did they charge you and do they offer a warranty with their work?

I was charged 260 cash for my truck with similar window coverage. They do excellent work and they use high quality tint. You'd have to bring in the Deli and they'll quote you a price. They're off of Marine Dr. near A&B Sound. I'll get mine done there before the summer.

thanks for the reply

It seems that is somewhere near the pricing that I have been getting. Thanks bio.

Hey Surferboy, can you give me the names of the shops where you got tiniting quotes? I'm looking to get my windows done in the next few weeks.

Thanks

How easy was it to remove the windows and put them back? Did you re-use all the original seals? $50 sounds very good...is the film quality similar to what you find at the shop?

Cheers,
