Bay Area Cali tint shop

This summer will be my first Cali summer with my new CL-S so, I'm looking to get it tinted. Can any YAY areans recommend a good tint shop (preferably east bay)?
Gracias

all i kno is that most tint shops will charge between $160-200. My guy hooks it up and does all the windows for me for $135 which includes a lifetime warranty. So just a tip, look around for the best prices...and chek out if they got warranty on their tint jobs or not

Several friends of mine, who are employed by the local Honda dealer, recommended to me that I should go check out this small shop in Richmond a year and a half ago. I was skeptical at first, since it's in Richmond and all, but the shit they were saying about the place made it sound real quality; Honda of * and several other dealers around the area contract their customer's vehicles, and also their own, with them. Anyhow, I paid them a visit and it took me 1 minute to decide that it was the right place. A new 540i was parked in front of the garage so I quickly went over to check the edges just in case I needed to make a quick get-away to avoid talking to anyone. Man, was it perfect! ... I mean pur-fect. I would take pictures but I think you should check the place out for yourself, you won't be disappointed. Oh, I forgot to mention... the guy is a real DICK so just be yourself and hopefully he'll treat you better. The owner/tinter (if that's politically correct) supposedly know's that his work is the best locally and won't hesitate to turn you away.


....fudge, I forgot the name of the place but it's on San Pable Ave. next to a Hotdog restaurant shaped like a triangle. You get off at San Pablo Ave. exit (it's the one after MacDonald Ave. exit) and you make a left. It should be two or three blocks down on your left hand side (the entrance/garage faces the restaurant which happens to be across a street that runs perpendicular to San Pablo Ave. Get it?)
