Reputable Tint companies around Boston?

I'm toying with the idea with getting 35% tint on the rear and side windows, but I don't know of any good places in or around the city to do the tinting.

Does anyone have any recommendations of places that they know do quality work?

Thanks in advance.

about tint

Remember when tinting that degree of tint is an issue in many states so that it won't pass inspection when sold. This happened to me in Maryland. Needed to have all the tint removed.

not being in the boston area i couldnt tell you a specific place to go but I can tell you a good way to find out if they're worth the money. First off, if they charge you less than 100 bucks to do the car, RUN! Unless you know someone there, you're either gonna be replacing the film in a week from bubbles, or in a few years when it turns purple on you. Best thing to do is ask about warranties. The guys that will shortly be doing my tints here in MI offer a lifetime warranty against peeling, bubbling, and purpling. The only thing they dont cover is damage (scratches, chunks, etc.) since anything like that is probably the result of some sort of abuse. Most if not all reputable installers should offer you something similar if not the same thing.

Thanks Aqualung. I gave Tint King a call and they quoted me a price of $200 to do the whole car. It seems like a reasonable price, since the tint has a lifetime guarantee. As a bonus, they said that they might be able to do the work on a Saturday since the whole process takes just under an hour.

I'm hoping to fit the car in for tinting next weekend when I have time.

Just curious on how your experience was with Tint King.
