Best place for tint in Boston area

I'm looking to get my windows done this spring and I'd like to know who has had luck in eastern mass. I know there has been issues with the rear quarter windor and moleskin vs no moleskin. All input is appreciated.

Thanks!

http://www.solarsolutionstinting.com/ in Bedford, MA. Top quality work and very reasonable pricing. I know its not in Boston but its only 15 mins out and is well worth the trip.

I use Daystar Glass Tinting in Saugus. He does mobil service if you have a garage. If not you can come to him.

He never mentioned moleskin to me when he did my first TL, and I didnt ask last week when he did my new one because I already had it at home. He will do the quarter glass properly too. His number is 781-231-3933 you will probably get an answering machine because he does alot of mobil work, but Henry will call you as soon as he gets the message.

Tell him Marc with the blue TLS sent you

I used tint king in Billerica they did a really good job! The back piece for my car was just one piece. They do have to remove the wheel from your TL that moves your window and replace them with softer wheels. Its costs 50$ extra but they gave me a discount. Really nice guys and there is a place to sit up stairs to chill and relax. I waited about 2 hours to get my whole car done.

I've had my last 3 cars tinted at Easter Tint Company in Charlestown. http://www.tint-it.com These guys are located 10 minutes from Boston.

Very high quality work, reasonably priced, and lifetime gaurantee. I've been very happy with the results.

For those of you who are wondering...

Solar Solutions charges $180 + $60 (4*15 for moleskin) = $240
*according to the pics on his website, he doesnt do the rear quarter properly

Tint King charges $250 + $40 (moleskin) = $290
*the guy on the phone (Corey) was very knowledgeable

Eastern Glass Tinting Co - they told me they didnt install moleskin so I didn't bother asking the price

2Tones post (above) says TimtKing uses softer wheels. Do you know if this is in addition to the moleshin?

zoo - the guy on the phone did not mention anything about putting softer wheels on the car. i told him i had an 2008 TL and he said yup you need felt, he didn't say anything else. he did quote me $290 however 2tone was charged $250 for the job.

*Updated*

Solar Solutions charges $180 + $60 (4*15 for moleskin) = $240
*according to the pics on his website, he doesnt do the rear quarter properly

Tint King charges $240 + $50 (moleskin) = $290
*the guy on the phone (Corey) was very knowledgeable
*was not sure about replacing any wheels, he said that they dont do that. said i might have been mistaken or might have been referring to the felt (moleskin)

Eastern Glass Tinting Co - $210
**does NOT install moleskin



Now moleskin is not necessary, you can always buy it from flnsx from this thread; however, I would prefer to have the person tinting my windows do it if it only costs about $50 more

im still debating whether to get Llumarstar ATR or Llumar Platinum Plus..
