Default Where to get tint in the north end

Does anybody know of a good window tint shop up north here?I want to get my drivers and pass side window tinted to match the rest of the car.
What percent are the rest of the windows in the xB?

Thanks in advance

I took my tC to VTR in Everett but there are too many flaws in it. I wish I would have taken it to Auto Trim in Lynnwood. www.autotrimseattle.com. They did my leather and did such a great job I would have to think they do great on tint too.

If you get 20% it will match the best. 20 is illegal but I have two cars with 20% and never had a problem.

Wow that is the 1st complaint I have ever heard about visition tint racing. They have done all my cars and I love 'em, never had a problem with them and reasonably price. I would recommed VTR, but I do know that Autotrim design does do some good work too

I would say VTR too. I've gone there for a long time for stuff for my car. Wayne (the owner) has been good to me and always helpful. If there were any flaws, I'm sure he would take care of it.

If you want to drive over to this end on the weekend, I got a guy that'll do a great job for 1/2 the price you'll pay anywhere. He's done all of my cars and most of my bud's cars too.

That deal is for anyone. Has down to 5% also.

Yeah, unfortunately there is at least one bubble/flaw in each window they did. Plus, the scuffed up the paint on both rear quarter panels apparently by leaning against it while doing the rear windows, so I had to buff it all out. Not pleased with VTR...

I had my xB scheduled for Limo tint for yesterday at VTR. I know Brian pretty good. I brought it in and their box of tint was mislabelled. Ug. Gotta reschedule now.

Just had my mom's Tacoma done with 20% in back and 30% on front. Looks nice on a black truck.

VTR did good.
