Window Tint Experience - Speedy Autoglass and Apple Autoglass
 
Has anyone had experience with window tinting at these places? Any feedback?
Yes, I do know that there are other places that do a superb job, but I am just checking these places first as they are near where I live.

Thanks!

Any experience with Street legal tint as well?

I heard they were great - I might go with them if I don't get any feedback from the other 2

I had my windows tinted 7 years ago from Speedy on my old car and they did a decent job. The overall work was messy like water all over the door panels, left over tint but the tint film was alright and I never had any issues with fade or peel. You really get what you pay for.

Thanks for the feedback - how much was it to do all your windows if you don't mind me asking

It was cheap, I think it was $200 tax in for all 3 windows because my rear windows were already factory tinted.

Found another place closeby - "street legal tint"
Anybody have experience with them? I heard they offer lifetime guarantee on their work

anyone know about n-motion for the honeycomb at the back windshield of my car? also looking at graphite tinting, so it doesn't turn purple in 2 years.

Anyone got their MKV GTi's tinted? Took the guy over an hour to do the rear window... :( paid him the same though ;)

BTW don't go for a 5% tint like i did, what a bitch to drive at night, and uncomfortably dark during the day, feels like you're always wearing sunglasses even though i only did the back

Fay_lo 09-05-2009 04:46 PM

N- motioN!!! because its my friends brother shop.

they do a great job with that...

and have lifetime warranty on bubbles.



we should just have a "GO TO N-MOTION FOR TINTING" thread sticky so people quit asking about this every few days.

impactX 09-05-2009 06:28 PM

The time it takes to get a response regarding those other shops, you would have gotten a tint job at N-Motion already...

blum2001 09-05-2009 06:34 PM

Just go to N-Motion.

I got them to put tint on two of my cars, and they installed a compustar for me as well. Good guys.

anyone use the place on kingsway called PH Solar Window Tinting? feedback?

ReD-DrAgOn 09-05-2009 10:43 PM

I dont know about the apple autoglass, but I did just get my car tinted at N-motion and they did an amazing job. I would definatly reccomend them to anyone.

My buddy got his Civic done at Street Legal in surrey, it was also a very good job. No problems with his and its been 4 years.

andrewboi 09-06-2009 09:04 PM

Thanks everyone - I am going to give street legal or N-motion a shot. Thanks for the help!

Haven't used them, but after calling around to a bunch of high end dealerships when I was looking for a tint shop, three of them said they used them (Ferrari, Weissach and The BMW Store)

street legal tint did a better job compared to n motion. street legal went right up to the edge of the glass so it made it look oem and had no imperfections. wWhere as n motion left a big gap there and the guy told me so the tint film wont get rubbed off by the window seal which i think its bs because I never had that problem when street legal did mine.

Shun Izaki 09-06-2009 11:07 PM

I don't doubt all the good thing i hear about nmotion for tinting... but i saw their installs for HID kit, and things like reverse parking sensors... and just wasn't impressed.

For something as "ma fan" as tint... it better be right...

Don't get me wrong either, i have brought at least 4-5 cars there just in referrals...

thanks falcon.

i think ill get my tint done there. heard from a couple other people that the owner does a really nice job and its cheaper than n-motion. especially if you pay cash lol

BlackV62K2 09-08-2009 03:56 PM

I had mine done @ Speedy back in 02. The tint is still perfect to this very day. I mean, the quality will vary depending on the person doing. I wouldn't expect the same job quality from Speedy to Speedy stores.
