Prices paid for tinting?

I am wondering what people have paid for there tinting? I am wanting to know what a shop charged, and the quallity of tint they used. I have 10 shops that do tinting in my city, and I am going to call and price check tomorrow. I am wanting to know what is reasonable to pay. 5 shops here are really nice, import performance shops, and the other 5 would be considered small "whole in the wall" shops. TIA

xian is on a distinguished road
I paid $280 CDN - 2 Front Windows - 22%, 3 Back Windows - 13%, metallized film. Lifetime warranty on labour and film.
Some may say I was ripped off, I don't think so, not when it comes to tinting.
I went with a company that has an amazing reputation for their worksmanship and clients that back them up!!!!
Well worth my money.
