Anyone know of any quality tiny shops within the Bay Area that charges less than or equal to $180 for window tinting? I know of Omega Tint-works which i have used before. Any suggestions?

They're the ones that post on Craigslist right? I think I may give them a try...

7il,

This place is prolly closer for you. I've brought in all my cars there. E39 has 35% on all 5 windows ($225). Driving Edge uses Madico.

damn... I drove 40 minutes to King Tint and when I got there that dude told me he cancelled my appointment earlier this morning due to a problem he encountered to this one car... well he called the wrong number and left there a message... I never gave my number wrong, or he probably heard it wrong, not only that, but he is also making it sound like it's my fault because I accidentally gave him my number wrong... didn't even show appreciation that I drove there for 40 minutes... "sorry" that's all I got from him... uuuhhhggggg...

I requested a price quote like 3 days ago. Still no reply. Is this guy professional or is it some ghetto tint place?:confused I got the E38 and maxima tinted at tintwerks which used to be by vishnu tuning headquarters. 180 for 7 windows. I just want to find someplace closer and maybe around 150-160$

On their webiste, they say they use SunTek tint, so I asked about the InfinityOP line which I have on my car. Here is his response:

"sorry i do not use op and my nex day is may 23 thanks for your business"

Not very professional IMO. Does not give me the impression that he even wants my business.

wow new name huh...

Yeah, the other one is gone/banned. The plates are gone too.

yeah Kingtint is the cheapest out there I think, but the way the guy talked to me is just... very unexpected... I don't know if that's just how the guy talks but mahn apologies were the last... He was like,

KT: oh, I cancelled your appointment earlier today, you didn't get my message?

Me: Oh, I didn't get any message, I don't even think I received a call from
you today.

KT: well I called your number, your name is Ruben, right???

Me: no, it's Juven

KT: I called the number you gave me, (510) 329-0494?

Me: No, it's 329-5094

KT: Well no, that's not what you gave me (in a higher pitched voice lookin at me like I did something so wrong)... I had to cancel your appointment because we had a problem with the Mercedes earlier this morning, so all the other cars had to be delayed like this guy (pointed at that one guy in the black car), he has to wait longer...

Me: whhhhaatttttt... I drove for over half an hour to get here because I thought you'd do my car at 5 o'clock...

KT: yeah I know (in a lower voice). I'm sorry man.

Me: so there's no way you'd get your hand on my car today?

KT: No...

Me: ***just started to walk away to my car***

KT: I'm very sorry

Me: It's kool! ***kept walking away without turning my head***

well that experience, to me, says that those people are not very customer service oriented people... I didn't see the waiting area that is posted in their website... In fact I didn't even know where to walk to look for the front desk or somethin'... I decided to go in the place where one car was raised up in the air, probably doing some body work, but still out of the four guys who saw me there wasn't one of them who came up to me to ask what I needed help with... I had to ask this one guy who looked at me, if I didn't I bet he would of not talked at all...

Well their price is much cheaper than anyone else out there so I think that's the main concern... I'd go back there if they return my call before Monday, otherwise, I'm getting my windows tinted by Omega Tintwerks in Pleasanton, it's the shop I always heard from anyone else in S2ki.com, ClubRSX.com, and other forums... They say the place is very nice and they have a big lounge out there with countless magazines and TV... Well, Vince, the owner, quoted me for $230. He said he'll give me $20 back if I get to bring him one more car... well, I still hope KingTint will give me a callback, $75 is still a big difference...

Omega is the best. Vince is a great guy and he loves his work. he did the E38 and my brother's maxima..and several of my friend's wrxs. He doesnt take weekend apps anymore, though. Price is reasonably priced since he takes great care into each job (its just him working there).

Screw king-tint. Im going back to vince even if its more expensive and farther away...i just cant handle kingtint's lack of professionality and customer service :mad

My tint quality is PURRRRRRRRRRFECT. Its been on for apprx 7months now. No bubblings/peeling/fading, and HEY if ti does, then guess what???? LIFETIME WARRANTY BIATCHES! Honestly though, i dont know how Kingtint is doing now, but WHEN i want. It was GREAT service. They had a Little LOUNG with GAMES/DVDS/SHITLOAD magazines, the WHOLE nine yards. Food, drinks, etc. Maybe he changed now or MOVED? god knows? good luck tho!
