Tinting recommendations?

Anyone know where I can get my Windows tinted for a reasonable price? Preferably around San Jose-Fremont area. I saw a Scion xb driving around that offers window tinting. He quoted me $150.00 out the door for the side and rear windows but Idk if he's any good. THANKS!

Tints R Us in DTSJ, or Canlas Tint around North San Jose. I've taken 3 cars to Tints R Us, planning on taking my FR-S to Canlas - many friends have gone there and recommend Rommel

I think he quoted me $200 for all the windows, then another $100 for the front windshield. Yes, I will be tinting the front windshield.

Please tell us how it works out. I'm very interested - Canlas was recommended to me as was Mr. Tint.
Will be doing this when my '14 SWP BRZ comes in.

$80 for the front windows at 50%.

The rest of my windows were factory tinted.

from years of browsing different car forums, these two places always pop up and are highly recommended:

Omega Werks:

http://www.yelp.com/biz/omega-werks-Pleasanton

Automall Tint Specialists:

http://www.yelp.com/biz/auto-mall-ti...nt%20specalist

I've had 4 cars tinted at Automall tint specialists, love their attention to detail and their lifetime warranty.

Not cheap though, just saying.

My appointment with Canlas is on Monday. 40% all around, plus 70% on the windshield.
