Default Tint price

A local shop quoted $120 for all my windows (except windsheild)... I am going with 20% all around... Just wondering what others paid and if this is a good deal?

Well, I paid $70 for just my front two windows at 35% on my xB, so that doesn't sound like a bad deal at all.

I just paid $180 today for 10% all around, no windshield, with a four inch sunvisor strip on the front.

I would check what kind of warranty the tint comes with and make sure it's metalized tint. It will fade less over time. Mine also came with a lifetime warranty. $120 sounds like a good deal, but it also sounds like crappy tint to me. I personally thought $180 was a really good deal compared to some of the other very reputable places around here.

Careful with metalized tint. When I worked for Acura we were told to stay away from it because it could interfere with satellite reception for the GPS navigation.

The tint we offered (through an outside tint vendor) was very high quality, but not metalized.

The also have a shop in Long Beach, that's where I got mine done. 125 I think lifetime warranty. The shop is called Magic Auto Tint, it's on Cherry and 28th Street accross the corner from Best Buy. They did a pretty good job. I got 20% front windows. Recently received a fix it ticket. I have to take them off and show proof. will put back on at 35% this time, to give some contrast between back and front windows.
