Got mine done at Carbox in Thornhill, pretty good job and easy to work with. The guy who does the tinting seems to be quite knowledgeable and also does vinyl wrapping.

price was just over $200

yes... Norb over at CARBOX

did my sunstrip too. treats your car as if it is "his own"

totally recommend... as well with installation of car alarms/startup

Norb did mine too, it was around $180 + tax at the time, but that was over a year ago.

I got charged 280+ from auto tint.

Not happy at all with the tints as they got enormous amount of positive review all over

Yeah sorry auto links.

My back tints is fuzzy and squiggly at night because of the heat lines, I don't know if it is intentional and working as intended. I went there thinking its 300 or 280 flat, bald guy I don't remember high balled me even after I said 86club discount.

Also did my clear bra for the front bumper, I asked them to quote me for entire hood, got two crazy diff prices.

Their owner john is extremely nice, that just my experience though, I'm sure it's cause I went their looking douchey.

I know John and Steve (the guy who dealt with you) personally

They are both stand up guys. Steve is very professional. Their pricing is very standard across the board.. Even if you are good friends with them.. If you have problems with your tints bring it back. All the tints they carry offer a very good warranty. I know right now that if he knew that you have problems with your tints, he would want you to go back.

Tinting is harder than people imagine. Mistakes do happen sometimes and sometimes external factors effect the install and how clean it is. No doubt they have one of the cleanest tint and clearbra shops in Toronto/GTA.

The pricing you got might be different depending on which tint you got. They carry different versions of the same brand. Some cost more than others.

Audio heaven definitely

drei 12-10-2013 12:21 PM

i got mine done at auto links, would definitely recommend.
the formula 1 tints do come with a lifetime warranty i believe, so if the person posting above has an issue, why don't you go back and ask them to look at it?

wparsons 12-10-2013 01:30 PM

Mine from Carbox came with a lifetime warranty on both film and workmanship as well.

I got the formula one from auto links. About a month after having it installed there were a few big air bubbles on the back tint so I brought it back in to get it redone and its better now. I had no issues with them redoing it. I highly recommend them.

I went to Trimline (http://www.trimlineinc.ca/) - they seem to be the people of choice out west in Mississauga for the dealers. My tint has been going strong with no signs of chipping, bubbling or fading (they use the 3M stuff) for the last 4 years. They also give you a discount (no tax) if you pay in cash.

Kazuya 12-17-2013 10:57 PM

Don't get me wrong, I had a good experience there and I still recommend it to my close friends but I guess I didn't read what I signed regarding the night issue on the tints(going to rip them out in the summer) and just minor confusion about the pricing.

I appreciate you reaching out to me personally and being so generous.
