Does anyone have a recommendation on a good Auto Tint place in Houston, Tx (Northwest Houston if possible). I want to get my Scion xA tinted when it is delivered in a few weeks.

Also, anyone know how much a good tint job should cost?

If no one knows a good tint place, any ideas on how to choose reputable shop.

I want them to do a good job with the tint and NOT scratch up my car or interior.

Thanks,

 

what area are you in?

 

Near 249 and Spring Cypress. Near the HP campus.

 

I use Tomball Tinters and they do awesome work. I have used them for over 20 years and have never had a problem.. They tinted my two fronts with 35% and it cost me I think $55. My girlfriend had her Toyota Matrix tinted at the same time, and she got the limo tint 5% all the way around and 35% on the fronts and I think it cost her $175..don't quote me on the prices, I just know I paid like $225 after taxes for both. Toyota wanted to charge $199 to tint the whole car and they would only go 35%. I hope this helps. Tomball Tinters has 2 locations the one in Tomball is off of 249 in Tomball, right across the street from Wal-Mart. The other location is off of 1960 near Kuykendahl.

 

^wered i was gonna say the same people.

 

i went to extreme tinting on 249 and 1960 and they did a good job. 35 on sides and 15 in back. it costed about 130 after taxes. 3 yr waranty i think. and if they mess up or u dont like it they strip it off and redo it.

 

jono you ready for exposed(sorry off topic!)

 

Kustom Auto is who i recommend but he may be out of ur way he's on the east side of town.. if ur intrsted heres his website.. www.autokustom.net

 

Does Tomball Tinting provide any sort of warranty?

Is there a particular brand of tinting for the film that I should be looking for?

Thanks,b

 

They have a lifetime warranty and the brand of tint that they use is Llumar.

 

Thanks. I really appreciate the information. Is Llumar a good brand of tint?

I've never had a car tinted before.

 

As far as I know it is. I have had my cars and trucks tinted by Tomball Tinters over the last 20 years and I have never had a problem with them. They have obviously been around for a long time so your warranty will be valid for a long time as well. Just tell them you had a friend that came in and had a Matrix done in limo tint and the fronts done on an xB and that they referred you. I am sure they will give you a deal, and they are pretty fast. It took less than 30 minutes to do the fronts and like an hour and a half for the Matrix.

 

The best people ever. Stereo-EFX
$99 and you can get 35,20,5% and its VERY good quality. Just say you got the deal from Houston-Imports.

Its not that purple crap its one of the cleanest there is.

 

The guys that did mine are called Sun-Lite Solutions. They are off of 290 and Hollister area. David is the guys name.
He did a great job on mine. Very reasonable on the price too. I've got an xB. Check my pics there should be some where you can see the windows.
I can get you a number for him if you are interested. This stuff is not suppose to turn purple either. I cant rember the name brand of tint.
Go to this thread and see some pics of my xB's windows
