Where and how much to get car tint in So Cal? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Rain · 05-19-2010, 12:43 PM

Long story short, it's doctor recommended.
I'm against tinting because I don't think my car would look good with it.
I've seen other jade sea yarii with dark tints and I didn't like it.
But the tint is more of a necessity now so oh well...

Where should I get it installed?
How much will it cost to get all windows done with 3m film?
What other films should I consider?

TIA for your help

This is the only place I've gone to. I think the prices are reasonable and they do a good quality job.

Tintmaster City in Canoga Park, but that's probably too far for you

i went to rosemead at a place called california tint. paid $137 but if i paid in cash they would have made it cheaper.

I'm pretty much willing to drive anywhere for good quality and reasonable price.
There's a shop close by me and they only charge $20/window but I'm not sure about the quality

www.tintmastercity.com. They are in Canoga. Go online and printout the coupon.

instead of tint why dont u put the smash and grab film on, it works like a dream, when there was an accident my car got hurt with flying parts, the rear window was smashed but was still in place for three days and i could still use the 5th door, try a glass company that deals with car windows, also remember once they installed you cant open the windows and leave the car in the sun for a day or two,

20$ per window is way too low. I'd expect this tint to fall off / bubble within a year.

I've been thinking of tint also. Have looked up the Canoga Park because of the positive reviews and was also thinking of the one in Rosmead- California tint.

In regards to Cali tint, if you go, do it early in the morning as they don't do appointments.
