Tint shop recs

boom · 01-22-2011, 08:13 PM

I've had my last two cars don at LA tints and been happy but they are expensive. Does anyone have a shop they'd recommend? Do you mind stating how much you paid?

"Winners" off gude drive in Rockville has always done a good job on my friends cars.

they did a horrible job on the dot matrix on my e92. tried to tell me it would look better after a couple of weeks too....

I did LA Tint in Sterling, and they did a great job. I have had it on for about 4 years, and absolutely no issues to date!

I take all my vehicles to Driven Dynamics in Rockville. 6 cars to them in the past few years, have had zero problems.

I had to go back 3 times for them to get it to acceptable...not terrible but not great either. This was over the summer time into the fall. They do the vinyl on the dot matrix, but it still doesn't look perfect, although it is MUCH better than not having the vinyl. The customer service is good but I wasn't happy about going back 3 times...

MDyDinanM · 01-23-2011, 09:47 PM

have you tried a search? this topic has been discussed many times before, no offense

i always use Matt at TNT Tint. He works out of Martin Motorsports in Alexandria. Forget the prices, but they are reasonable - around 350-ish i believe.

you can google TNT Tint for contact info.

Eugeinus · 01-23-2011, 10:02 PM

I got mine done at TNT Tint in Alexandria by Matt. One man shop but a perfectionist. You can yelp and google review him, nothing but positive reviews. Should be $240 for your e90. Amazing job, cool guy.

utfenix335i · 01-30-2011, 01:01 AM

Winners Window Tint. They took off the tint off my Maxima, then put it on again after I got car inspected and registered. They also did my 335i. Yes, the dot matrix didn't turn out right, but if you go back, they are more than willing to redo fix it.

Non ceramic: $150
Ceramic (for Navi): $250

Llumar tint... best in my book, best warranty as well.

Spydeputy · 01-30-2011, 05:09 AM

Hands down Rob at Proform is one of the most professional installers out there. His shop is pristine, and the detail on the install of a clear bra or tint is Awesome. I highly recommend the work done at Proform!

Just got mine done from Matt at TNT. He's been tinting since 93' and is a perfectionist as eugeinus said. Great guy.

burningchicken · 01-30-2011, 11:39 AM

LA tint in woodbridge, va. Got min done for 220ish

Spydeputy · 01-30-2011, 04:58 PM

So with all this good news, now we know who Not to go to ?

mmmmm235i · 02-02-2011, 07:18 PM

All Star Tint near College Park, MD did a great job on my e90 for a very reasonable price (160.00). Now If only the god damn molding did not scratch up all my windows. Would definitely bring another car back to them though.

I had to add "Mole Skin" to the inside of my door and re-tint b/c of scratching the tint, Google it. Oh, and by the way I only had to buy the mole skin, Proform installed it on each door for $25 then Re-tinted it at No Charge. Now thats customer service. Thanks Rob!

Dado and I are taking our cars to Matt of TNT Tint in Alexandria. Debating on the Moleskin... real worried about the E90 scratching.
