Tinting In Oregon
So, I feel like such a criminal. OR law says 35%, but in the tint threads some mentioned getting it darker (no receipt, cash under table, etc.)
How would you even approach a tinting shop and ask them to do something illegal? Like slip a 50 across the counter or what? I know, it sounds silly but my BMW came from out of state, was darker, and I loved it All we know is.... He's called The Stig |

Call the shops, tell them what you want, and they'll let you know. the only downside on getting work done in cash is trying to get warranty work done. 503 motoring is who I used in Portland. They did a good job. I see you from s few posts your from Eugene. There's a shop in Albany/Corvallis that has good rep. Illsee if I can get that info.

I do have emails in to a couple places here in Eugene. What bugs me though is everyone says they use the absolute best quality film, but out of 3 that said it, they all 3 said different ones!!! How the heck am I supposed to know which one? Tinting is one thing I'll pay what it takes to get an absolute top quality job. I would freak out if the tinting started to turn purple or bubbled, even if it was under warranty! And I think tinting may be more expensive down here, but I wouldn't swear to it yet. Anyway, thanks! |

It's like $350 here for the most "known" tinting place. No idea if they're the best.

Lots of helpful input in this thread. What I have to say is just my personal opinion on some of the places that have been mentioned, so take that for what you will.
I would advise against going to 503 Motoring; I had a very bad experience with them where they did a shoddy job on my $600 clear bra. When I took it back to them to have redone, they put a long scratch on the lip of my bumper, and blamed it on me saying that it was there when they removed the old shield (even though they never called me to ask about it, nor did I drive the car in the week I brought it back to them as it was raining and I was not to let the shield get wet for the curing process if it could be avoided.) Long story short they blamed me for damage they inflicted, made me sign a waiver that said they didn't do it and repaired it only in good faith before they would give me my keys back, and the owner sent me a completely manipulative, unprofessional email the likes of which I would expect from someone in high school. 503 Motoring also uses Suntek (carbon-based) film, which (IMO) is inferior to ceramic-based films like many of the ones offered by Llumar - both for heat and UV rejection. I just got my car tinted a month ago at Ultimate Window tinting in Vancouver - never got asked questions about the tint level I wanted, got a printed receipt to have for my records, and they did a fantastic job; they took their time with it as I asked, and I was so satisfied with it. They honored the original quote they gave me even though they had made a mistake in the calculation, so I ended up paying $40 less than what I should have even though I had no proof of this other than the name of the person I spoke with over the phone that gave it to me and the note I wrote the quote down on. Here is mine with Llumar FormulaOne Pinnacle 30 - love the look, privacy, and heat rejection. Last edited by Ammunition; 07-28-2016 at 12:41 AM. |
