tinting in the Bay Area

Hey all, just wondering if anyone could suggest a good place to get my windows tinted at. I don't know how to explain the look I'm going for, but I don't really like the shiny, mirror-like tint. I like the dull tint that doesn't reflect too much. Anyhoo, I know of one place near Concord that my brother suggested. My only problem is that they might charge too much, about $400 for five windows at a 25% tint.

it should be around $200 to 250, $400 is a rip off.

Has anyopne heard of Mr. Tint, Inc?? I saw a booth for them in the Valley Fair mall and was wondering if they are any good? I saw a picture somewhere where some guys were in front standing with their Tl's and Cl's. Just wondering if anyone has had any experiences with them. I think they are located on stevens creek somewhere.....

paultl: did you get the back window tinted all the way up? I know some people say that they had problems trying to tint over the dot matrix stuff at the top?

I have to agree, California tinting in campbell does GREAT work. All the high end car dealerships use them.

That pic you saw...could have been me and my 2 other friends. We got our tints done at Mr. Tint. They're really cool people...scratched our windows slightly, but really cool people. Here's a pic http://itsupport.sjsu.edu/~rbui/Cars...CL_Tint_12.jpg For more pics...click the sig that says Friend's Cars.

Yup, thats the picture. I was wondering if they were any good? But it seems like the one in Cambell has gotten rave reviews here. Could someone post the price they were quoted for the cambell one? And also did they tint all the way up the back window over the dot matrix stuff?

Zoom,

I no longer live in the San Jose/Campbell area so I don't have the phone book handy. Just call information for the number, area code would be 408. If for some reason you can't get the number I will see what I can do.
