Hey everyone, I am looking for a good tint shop in the 408 area. I've been looking around online, but cant seem to find any shops with websites displaying their work. I am looking for a quality shop that offers lifetime warranty. If you know of any place please help me. Thanks!

I did find one shop in fremont http://www.automalltintfactory.com/ anyone have experience with them before?

 

I had Jim tint mine. we did it at Gabe's shop along with alot of other cars one saturday... "tint day"

very satisfied with work... and yeah.. lifetime warranty.

 

I had my car tinted there. Sid the owner is very informative and there is alifetime warranty.

 

Sid did 2 of my cars. I'm happy with his work.

 

how much did it cost? i want to get all of my windows tinted

 

Cost depends on which type of film you want, I was quoted $300 for all windows with Suntek infinity OP 35%. Pricey but high quality stuff. Im planning to get my windows tinted either tomorrow or friday. So far automalltint is my choice. But I did find www.californiaautotinting.com anyone have experience with them?

 

you get a free key chain and sample cd! 260 cash if u go in the middle of the week? i wonder if he will aslo give the 10% student discount

 

Jim uses Suntek.. not sure what series though.. but there is lifetime warranty

 

What the... lol... What type of film did u ask for? I wonder why he didnt tell me about the free keychains and cds...

 

Yea, I PMed him a couple of days ago. Asking which line of Suntek he carried but so far no response. I've been doing some research and everyone recommends films that are either full-metal or ceramic (both very pricey). That way they don't fade like the regular dyed films.

 

I got my tint done at "Dynamic Audio" at 599 S 1st St in San Jose (downtown). I went there on the recommmendation from a friend that does professional car audio installations. I got the hatch and rear windows done with a 5% tint for $150. Good quality. I'm happy.

 

I recommend Best Image in San Mateo. I'm not sure which tint film do they use I'm guessing Madico or something.

 

Thanks guys for all the recommendations. I called around a few places, but the only place that offered the suntek infinity op film was autotintmall...

 

^ why does it have to be suntek? The other brands have lifetime waranty also.

 

It doesnt have to be suntek but its the only brand that does what im looking for.The suntek infinity op film is full metal which will last forever and will not fade over time like most films. I also like how it changes from black to silver depending on the weather.

From www.automalltintfactory.com
"Suntek Infinity OP is a full metal film with excellent heat rejecting qualities. Made exclusively of sputtered metals, this high-tech micro-thin shield provides superior protection and performance. It has a very distinct characteristic where it changes appearance under different light conditions. If you are looking for a semi-reflective mirrored film that is legal, look no further because you have just found it."

 

so Jim doesn't have the infinity op film? you get word back from him? i'm sure he can get ahold of it at least.. or does he not want to bother?

 

i didnt ask him which one i just asked for a price. hopefully maybe they are all the same price?

the op looks pretty nice but i dont want something thats reflective

 

He got back to me, but he didnt answer my questions about which film he offered...

 

I wished they were all the same price, but the cost depends on which film you want. Here is another quote I got from him, this particular film is just too much for my wallet.

 

hmm... i think jim used the HP on my car... all i know it's probably not the standard one.
ergh... i need to slap him..
