I'm looking to get windows tinted on a couple of my cars. Does anyone have a window tinting shop that they have used and would recommend?

I'm looking for a nice clean shop or someone who is mobile, and someone who has experience working on high-end cars.

I'd recommend you go to a local dealership whom sells your exact vehicles; they can do the maximum tint allowed for FL & then there are no issues when you get pulled over by the zealous city police who want to ticket you....

All the dealership will do is take it down the road to whatever tint shop is closest... I tried that, didn't like the shop they were going to take it to!

I've used Driving Expressions twice & been happy- they did a good job.

I'm hearing that the limit is 28% for the front side windows and 15% for the back side windows and rear window..

Explains the lower numbers are darker, limits include the original tint + new tint, and you can get fined per window.

I've had the heat resistant darkest tine allowable for the 23 years I've been here; never pulled over for tint.
