$250 for tint... good or bad?

[guyver01]

I just had my car estimated by a local place.. a few people i know got it done there, and the job looks good. 100% warrantied for life.


Here's what i'm having done.

Winshield - top 1/4 of the window 20%
Front seat windows - 35%
Rear seat windows - 20%
1/4 panel windows - 20%
back window - 20%

btw... i have a Matrix

i have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix.

$250 for a tint job is a rip off...

Ive had it done 4 times now and its never costed more than $150.

And thats for the good stuff with a lifetime warranty as well.

I would say that's a little high priced. Got my Civic done for $175

i did my integra for $160

You're not allowed to have your front windows tinted, are you?

Ditto what he said. $250? Does the tint job come with a bottle of Vaseline? :Q

I've never paid more than $149.00 in the last ten years. Current car cost $129.

$175 to $200 is the going rate for a quality job in Dallas for a 4 door vehicle, add another $20 in you want the front visor strip

Anything less around here and you are asking for trouble. You might think you are saving money, but IF it bubbles up, especially on a rear defrosted window, you are screwed.

Good luck

I got mine done in Franklin Square for $185. 35% all around.

Yeah, that's why I mentioned it. The name of the place was Phoenix Auto Repairs, or something to that effect. I have the business card at home. It's on Franklin Ave., like maybe 5 blocks south of Hempstead Tpke.

I guess the only complaint I have is that the guy used two pieces of film for the rear window. I didn't specifically ask for one, so I guess I can't complain too much. I've had it maybe 8 months now and it seems fine.

Phoenix basically just calls in this guy who solely does tinting for a living and Phoenix provides the space.

I hope you are female

I got mine nicely done for $99 (all windows 20% minus the strip on the windshield), lifetime warranty against fading and bubbles.
If you don't mind a trip to the Bronx, I recommend going to Webster Ave. (near GWB).

For a wagon, small SUV, it would probably be around $130 - $150.
The manager is very nice and reasonable.
