Windows Tinting Service -> Need recommendations
 

Hey guys, anyone done it recently and could recommend a location for me to go?
I saw a thread a while go and had my bmw tinted by the guys close to Kingsway & Knight/Fraser which was recommended. I didn't think they actually did a good job on it so I would like to try a different place this time for my new car.
TIA!

I've had two of my cars tinted by Roger @ Street Legal Tint & Detail in Port Moody. He's a great guy. Easy going and can cut deals if you pay cash.

If you are ever in richmond go to Yau Bong Auto Glass Ltd on cambie, I have been a customer for years and they do quality work for a great price, plus the skytrain is close by and aberdeen mall is across the street.

i got my sportwagen done there. 220 bucks for 5% tint on all rears. love it!

its held up nicely so far

i can vouch for street legal. He really takes his time with attention to details. Film "cut line" was right up to the corner edge of the glass it almost looked like factory tint.

I used rq tinting. Good and perfect job. Laser cutting machine

Before I used to use ph solar, but after some not perfect cuts and impurities between the glass. I decided to change

X 2. Went to RQ to get 2016 civic tinted. Did a great job for $179 cash

^^ how many windows? I got quoted $370 to do 9 from Larry the tint guy

google Larry Lee, over 20 years experience. near pne in vancouver

Civic sedan. Rear 5windows.

+1 for Ricky, he used to do mobile install, don't think he does any more. He did 4 cars for me and the workmanship has been great.

Ty at tyco tint, has done every car I’ve owned and always does an amazing job. His number is 604-808-5280. He comes to you and is priced very fair.

Came in this post to make this exact recommendation. He did my BMW maybe 6 or 7 years ago and it held up extremely well. I looked him up when I got my new one last year and had him do it and he again did great work at a reasonable price. Absolutely highly recommended, I wouldn't personally go anywhere else while Roger is around.

+1 for yau bong they tinted my front windows, cut line is almost non existent, customer service was great from the older asian couple working, They pealed my old front window for $20 both sides which i found supprisinly cheap compared previous experiences. Also managed to squeeze me in same day for a great price ( cash negotiable)

As for N-motion that tinted my rears: to be very honest customer service was good but the quality of the tint job was very poor some minor dirt specs and bubbling that has yet to disappear, corners cut when it came to trimming. For pricing ended up paying double the price of my intial quote dude to them having to peel the old tint which eneded up 350 out the door for rears pealed and retinted. To sum up my experience with n-motion i wouldn’t recommend them just due to my past experience. but if u do want warranty they do offer it and will fix anything wrong. Dont get me wrong I have heard and seen from reviews they do good jobs i guess mine just wasnt one of them.

Poor quality at n-motion from my previous experience with tint

i wouldnt really recommend him as my rear window 5% tint started turning purple within about 3 years. originally he used quality tint for all 3 rear windows, then when he was finishing the rear big window, he scratched the tint himself with a dirty cloth so he had to rip it all off and redo it, with a different cheaper roll. the 2 rear side windows were still black but the rear middle had faded pretty bad.

Would not recommend N-Motion. Very poor workmanship. They burned my b pillar door trim with a heat gun and didn't bother to mention it to me. Had them replace that. Three of 5 windows had to be redone.

Just to update this, I rolled up to Yao bong today and some Chinese guys said they closed down. Not sure if they still exist, so need to find another place to tint

didnt enjoy my experience with diplomat window tint in pitt meadows. they tried to quote me higher, almost double, once i arrived in person... apparently hes never seen an e46 coupe before... said my 2 vent windows on the e46 count as seperate doors... meaning double the price because the window was "large"? and also quoted the 2 front doors higher in person because of also "larger" windows... ended up going to a private guy through a referral. an honest guy who does honest work. PM me for a good dude based in port coquitlam.

Wish i saw this post earlier!:okay:
Went by today and the guy inside told me it's no longer a tinting place.
I prefer to have it done in richmond or anywhere close to the skytrain.
Else i might just go rqtinting as it is close to willowbrook so i can kill time there while waiting.
God dam it Yao bong why u do dis

^^ let us know where you go and how it went, I'm still looking for a place to get this done

Street legal in Port Moody is less than 5 min walk to sky train

but more importantly it's right beside Koko's activity center

Just for an update, I have booked street legal @ marine dr location on Thursday since I'll be dropping it off and skytrain to YVR for flight.
Will report back on the quality, guy i spoke is Nixon seem like a good guy.
He said he trained both guys in Surrey and all 3 locations (port moody) are the same.

I had my Audi done there 2.5 years ago as recommended by other shops (other tint shops told me to call Nixon at Marine Drive because of the heating elements on the rear windshield)

Nixon was really fast (I walked from there to Marine Gateway to chill for a bit and walked back, around 3 hours total)
