tint shop suggestions?

Hi, I did a search and didn't find anything about good tint locations around my area. Anyone know if a good place to get a good car tint, around the pasadena/burbank area?

Thanks!

There's a place in Sherman Oaks/Van Nuys area right off the 101 at Van Nuys Blvd. called Sunshade I believe. Sorry can’t remember right now, I’ve got their business card in my car.

Prices are relatively competitive and they do have life-time replacement guarantee. My 2003 Acura TL Type-S for all five windows was $250 or so.

I know it's not exactly Pasadena area but I'd recommend them.

A couple of hours. The main problem with my Acura was that it wasn't sunny enough the day they installed the tint. It would have been quicker (dried sooner) if it was warmer. I would plan, though, on 4 hours.

You may also want to ask some local dealerships where they send cars for tinting. That's a pretty good reference - even if it's not a Mazda dealership.

Try California Tint around El Monte/Temple City, should be pretty close from pasadena. I guess its a local favorite. I got all my 5 tinted (quantum) for $140. And try to get there early, cuz its packed with cars, once there's too many, you would need to leave ur car there for almost half a day or so. If they can tint ur car rite away, it will take about an hour.

I meant to post this sooner but here's the info on the place I use:

Sunshield Glass Tinting
4704 Van Nuys Blvd.
Sherman Oaks, CA 91403
818-906-8468

I was quoted $135 for my RX-8.

FYI, I forgot to mention the $250 price I wrote in the other post was for two cars, mine and my girlfriend's.
