Best Window Tint In Lower Mainland??

Hey all,

I have finally decided to tint the windows on my 2008 TL-S and really want the job done right....so I figured this would be one of the best places to get opinions!!

So...can anyone recommend a shop/place to get the windows done??

I am willing to drive some distance to get it done...dont really want to have to drive to Chilliwack but if thats the best place then so be it.

i recommend n-motion. they did a great job applying the window tint film! they give lifetime warranty if anything happens with their worksmanship or defective film. even though it was like a 3 hour job it was done with quality!

Automagic in the Richmond Automall has a tint shop. I've had 4 cars (including a friends car) and all 4 times I've been 100% satisfied. Never had an issue with peeling, bubbling or warping.

Peter runs the show for the tint shop. Call him/automagic @ (604) 270-1513

I have done 2 cars at N-motion before and both were 100% satisfied experience. These guys know what they are doing and they carry very high quality window tint. Some are quite expensive but I care more about if the product will work properly. My new TL will go to them again in a few weeks when I return to Vancouver.

I've gotten both TLs I've owned done at Spectrum in Surrey for $150. They have a really good quality film. It's 5% but visibility is great, even at night.

I have used them before through work. Their quality of work is more consistent but they also charge a tad higher.

Thanks LSMKB1. I ended up going there. Got dealer price on the job which ended up pretty good I think. The work ended up being really nice as well. He's pretty particular. A buddy of mine took his BMW there at the same time - tint buddies. LOL
