Default recommend tint shop in OC

Can anyone recommend a good tint shop in the 714 area code? would be willing to travel to 949 or 909 if the shop is *really* good and worth it.

This company did mine:

Elite Window Tint
8710 E. Fallbrook Way
Anaheim Hills
(714) 998-7797

They are a mobile service but I had mine done through Sunny Hills Car Wash in Fullerton.
$175.

Not perfect, still very good. If 100% is flawless, this one is about 95%. A few dust specks and one faint crease.

They charged me $275 for the "midgrade" film (after negotiating down from $350) and they didn't even completely cover the window and their were so many bubbles I thought I had an aquarium in my window. Their "premier" work was far worse than $60 tint jobs I had down in the ghetto.

WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T GO TO MIKE'S TINT SHOP!!!!

Same thing happened to me.

I went to them over twelve times to drop off and pick up my car, which had bubbles on the passenger window, a crease in the rear window, the corners started peeling off, and to add insult to injury, they got mad at me because I wasn't communicating with them enough.

Communicating?!? I wanted superior service and product, NOT a conversation!!!

I had XLNT Tint in Anaheim and WinTech Tint in Costa Mesa tint my BMW. Got two different brands of tint so had to go to two different stores. Both did excellent work. Even over the dot matrix on the edges of some windows. They sell non-high end tint as well and their work is just as good on those as my high end stuff.

$275 for midgrade tint is a bit much. I paid around $400, but that's cuz it was Huper Optik and V-Kool.
