Default Best Scion Window Tinter

I asked about this a long time (year +) ago but I wanted to check in now. I live in Central Seattle and I was wondering what the best place to get a tC tinted was. I want good quality materials and expert installation with good customer service. If it's got a good price that's great, but as long as it's fair, I'm game... i just don't want it to look bad and I want to make sure it's somewhere thats tinted windows on tCs before... anyone?

I hear a lot of people rave about VTR, and maybe they just had a bad day when they did mine, but if I could go back and undo it all, I would. In fact, I'm contemplating going through the nightmare of pulling it all off and having it redone. I had mine done all by VTR and there is not one window that doesn't have multiple bubbles. It bothers me every time I walk up to my car.

AutoTrim did my leather and I would consider having them do the tint, as they were so careful with my leather. However, I haven't seen their tint jobs so I don't know for sure.

Maybe if you follow Shawn's advice and ask for Wayne or Brian...

I am sorry you had a bad experience with them.. My buddy just got his down there & ya he did have one window that had a few bubbles in it, but he took it back to them & they fixed it right on the spot & not it's perfect looking.. I love my windows & they look good w/ no flaws so maybe just something bad happened that day there & sorry to hear that, but that doesn't sound like them at all

The job truly was bad. However, I made the mistake by not taking it back to complain, and now I think it's been too long. And since I didn't do anything about it, it probably means I should shut up about it. So I'm done...

Maybe it was just a bad day for them.

the place that did mine down here in Longview said same thing, if anything comes up and your not happy with the job, bring it back and we will redo it, which is what is going to happen, a few spots won't stay down, so I am taking it back.

Ok, now thats pimp if he taking the time to get on here and tell you to come in and get it fixed. Sounds like the customer service we are all looking for. I would check these guys out but I am moving in a couple of weeks and if I do it, I won't get the chance to take it back if there are problems.

VTR does good work. I don't know about their tinting, since my windows were done by someone else, but they installed my flowlighting inferno and my underdash cathodes and they turned out great :p
