Recommendations on tint shops in the GTA
 

Anyone recommend a good tint shop around the GTA with a reasonable price? It's getting really warm now and I hate having my car feeling like it's 40C+ when I get into it in the middle of the day.

Thanks!

Got mine tinted at Auto-Links.

They did a pretty good job. Only thing is , I asked for 30% and I got 33%, which is a bit lighter than I wanted, but still looks amazing

+1 for auto links

Thornhill tints, very competitive pricing and great installers.

Dang so many recommendations, Alex will have to put these companies in a hat and pick one out LOL

A suggestion - bring your car in freshly detailed, and insist on the tech doing a walkaround with you, similar to that done when picking up or returning a rental vehicle.

The purpose is to make it clear that your vehicle is free from damage (or if it isn't pristine, flaws can be duly noted). Don't be shy about this - the onus is on them to return the vehicle in as perfect a condition as they received it. You can even say the that the reason for the extra caution is because of past problems.

This will do two things - if there are any scratches post tint, you'll have proof that they happened during the tinting. Secondly, it will enforce that you are picky about your ride (if you are, that is), and it will likely get a higher level of care and respect.

I didn't follow my own advice, and got the car back with three fine scratches in the clearcoat that were not there before it was tinted. And, I have no excuses - I'm as picky as hell and have had fifteen vehicles tinted. I simply assumed that people in the car mod biz would be as picky as me. My lesson is, they aren't necessarily.

Good luck!!

lmao I'm probably gonna go to the closest one near me, unless the price differences are great enough to consider travelling the extra distance to a further shop. Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I'll update with which shop I went to and how it turned out.

Make sure your third brake light comes out if you want it done the correct way, the shop will charge you about an hour to do it or you can do it yourself using this guide.

AutoLinks is great, got mine tinted there 15%, zero issues and no bubbling or fading.

Audioheaven is great too, but different brand of tint film.

+1 for audio heaven... they did my FRS about 2 months ago... great job was done..
