Good tinting shop in Los Angeles?

Any recommendations for a good but not-too-expensive place to get my windows tinted in LA? Thanks...

I'm close to Hollywood and Beverly Hills... so Westside, Hollywood, or even South Bay would be fine... Basically, I don't mind driving a little bit if it's worth it.

This guy did mine about a year ago. Price was competitive and he comes to you. He did it at my office in Santa Monica in about an hour. He really gets around.

Thanks, muggy. I'll give them a call tomorrow...

BTW, good quality, no bubbling, right?

I'll also call Andy's to get a comparison quote...

I didn't have any bubbling or anything weird, and neither did any of my friends who went there. I got the Johnson executive 20% tint if it matters, my friends have gotten the regular Johnson tint and it looked real nice too.

Hey Muggy, I took your advice and went to California as well. He charged me $130 to do all 5 windows for the silhoette tint. I went with 35% front and 15% in the back. You can still see through in the back when the light shines in so I might do the sunroof to see if that helps make it look darker inside.
