I went to Tint King a long time ago, the bubbles in the tint never disappeared like they promised. I don't think I'd ever go back there. For another vehicle, I went to the dealership and had them tint it, not a single bubble... PERFECT tinting job.

I'd recommend dealerships, they are pricey but worth it.

they don't, dealerships typically contract out work such as tinting to 3rd party companies (like tint king) and usually charge a premium on top of that, so you might as well skip the middle man and just go straight to the tint shop itself.

Dealerships do tint and they tint onsite too.

I know this because Acura tints onsite at their dealerships. They charge $399 for tint and they do it there. It's not contracted out apparently. They might buy the tint from elsewhere but they have a person hired to do tint.

You can definitely have it done for cheaper. I know a few people who got it for around $150

$399+tax is a lot for tints. At this price, is it still the film of plastic that they put on your glass or do they actually tint the glass to make it look like it came like that from the factory?

tint

sadd when i went to some shop around meadowvale and old kingston.
paid $300 for tints. 35% on front, 10% on rear. It was such a cop attractor, i had to take them off for $100. $400 down the drain plus 9 tickets i got while i had the tints on.

That sux, I have had all my windows tinted on every vehicle I have owned, legal tint and illegal tint, and have never been bothered by cops for tint.

Audioheaven bro, they're in richmondhill.

Did my tint, lifetime warranty, at the time I paid 130 bucks for 2 door car but that was during their slow season and they had the promotion going (should be back soon).

Call Jeff he'll hook you up, tell him Mau (mo) with the prelude sent you.
