I'm wanting to get my windows tinted, and have been looking for a place in town that does it..
I've found a few places, but I'm not sure whether or not they do a good job..

Is there anyone who has used any of the local companies, or know anyone who has, and can give me an idea of where to go?

Thanks!

we had ours done in CA.
But I do know it is against the law to have the front (as in the drivers and passenger) windows tinted. You can have all the back ones done as dark as you want.
We have limo tint on the back but got pulled over and ticketed $150 for our front ones being too dark. Anything darker then factory tint is illegal here.
I would have paid the fine if we were not broke. Bad timing as DH had just been laid off. Talk about a double whammy!

These guys have been around for years and years and years. They do great work, but will not be the cheapest.

Yeah, the law here on tint is pretty rough.. It's 70% in the front (basically nothing).. and 40% in the back (still pretty close to nothing).

Btw, do you drive a car, or a truck/van/suv?
I drive a car, and it just seems that they love to pull over cars, and not so much trucks..
