These guys are great and only use high end metalized film, it wont bubble or fade to purple. Expect to pay $250 for quality work and material. Avoid any of the $99 tint shops.
 
I backup 'Tint King' as well. Had mine done 7 years ago and only now started seeing some bubbling. As stated above, you get what you pay for... avoid the $99 tint shops, some of those jobs look as if they're DYI.

+1 for Audio Heaven, Jeff and the boys there do fantastic work.


You get what you pay for, stay away from tint king and other "budget" places, they use very cheap film
 
I've used Tint King twice now, with no complaints. In fact, when I purchased a Honda years ago the dealership wanted $500 for tinting. I took it to Tint King instead and paid about $250. The manager told me that my dealership actually just brought new cars there to be tinted anyway and then marked up 100%.
 
My cars and truck were done at a place called Protint in Whitby (there is a shop in Hamilton too).

I asked a friend of mine who works at a dealership if he knew of a place that does good tint work.

His dealership sends new cars to them to tint for their customers. A lot of dealerships in Durham farm out their tint jobs to them including BMW. They were tinting a brand new Buick SUV to be used in a TV commercial when I was there getting one of my vehicles done (they actually tinted the windshield as well as you will notice 99% of cars used in auto manufactures commercials are.)

The film they use is good quality guaranteed for life. They have a computerized machine that cuts the perfect shape for your particular vehicle. My Dad took his car to Tint King in Oshawa two years ago (it's under a different name now) and they did a shit job. They cut the film by hand against the exterior windows to match the shape of the glass. The dummy kid with his exacto knife put all kinds of nicks in the weatherstripping and exterior chrome trim around the rear door windows on his brand new car.

My Dad had the weatherstripping and trim replaced at the dealership and handed that Tint King the bill. The owner of the shop paid the bill with no fuss in cash out of his pocket on the spot.

The owner of the Whitby Protint I used, Paul, is a fucking fat prima donna who thinks he's the best tinter in the fucking universe. I hate a self employed prima donna! I didn't care for him that much but who gives a shit as long the work's good I figured. He's in the picture of the Whitby crew. The two young guys who work for him are good as well. I liked them however unlike their boss.

The cars were done three years ago and my truck two. I have no complaints.

Not even from unsuspecting passers by when I am having sexual escapades inside.

I forgot to mention my cars were $200 cash each. One is a sedan and one a coupe. (three years ago)

The front doors of my truck was $100 cash. (two years ago)
