I'm looking to get the Max tinted..

So I called up a few places. One place called the Tint Master (www.tintmaster.com) seemed like a good store. They charge $190 for the side windows and rear window for scratch-resistant tint with any shade I choose. Also, they have lifetime warranty. (the prices on their website are incorrect).

Another store I called was Tint King (the Scarboro location), and the person who answered didn't seem to enthuasiastic to sell some tint. When I asked for the warrantee, he's like "we only offer warranty on the good tint", so I replied "you have bad tint also?". That place is out of the question.

The third store was Car Wing, but need appointment (I need it done fast) and they are pretty far away.

So do you guys think $190CDN is reasonable and if anyone has experience with Tint Master, they seemed like a quality store over the phone. But I would like to know if anyone dealt with them.

Thanks

My brother used to work at a ford dealership and all the mechanics there recommened Tint King (the one on the queensway here in Etobicoke). He got limo tint all around 2 years ago on his RX-7 and is very impressed with the quality and service (this is not the crappy peeling stuff). He also got it for $90 with tax, but it is only a hatchback

So, I'm not sure, I would recommend the Tint King here, but yours might be different

..

I paid about $190 for mine, 20% on the rears, 30% on the fronts. It's a little past legal but I think it looks better than 35/20's .. If they've got the shades you want, by all means get it for that price.
