Recommended Tinting Places?

Any recommended tinting places in the GTA?

How long does it usually take?

Will semi-metallic tint fade?

Yeah, I spoke to Pro-Auto before. They also quoted me $180. The seemed like nice guys there.

Do you know what tint you used? Did they use two pieces for the rear window? Did they cover the rear windshield brake light?

Decamo has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Thats what I want to know too. Did they do the rear brake light? Does the $180 include the rear deck removal for this?

FYI...I just had my tints put in and the back deck does NOT have to be removed...if someone tells you it does and it'll cost extra, then they are scammers and amateurs...I got it done @ Apple Auto Glass, same people who do it for Honda....they might have their special on for $150 still....

plus lifetime warranty

I'm also looking for tint for my EL....

I drove up to FXAuto up near Markville Mall in Markham. $225+tax for our cars. $250 for the semi-metallic films, and $275 for the 100% metallic films. Guy was very nice, and I saw two cars being done there.

As they were working on a Corolla, I saw that they did not remove the rear deck. They only removed the brake light.

For that price, they will also throw in a free front windshield banner. Also, it's up to you whether you want the brakelight tinted or not. They suggest that you do NOT tint it if you don't have a spoiler, and up to you if you do have a spoiler (spoiler with 3rd brake light).

I wonder why the great disparity in price? Pro-Auto quoted me $180 for Llumar semi-metallic. Another place on Doncaster (which does cars from the Nissan/Infiniti and BMW dealerships nearby) quoted me $225 for Llumar dye tint.

Is semi-metallic tint mirror-like or not?
