Hi,

Can you recommend a good window tinting shop in the Cerritos area, close to FWY 605 and 91? Thanks.

This isn't really close to the 91 and 605, but if you want you can go to Autosound Specialist in Westminster. It's on Beach Blvd, near freeway 22 exit. They did a good job on my tint. Reasonable price. Nice people over there.

13749 Beach Blvd. Westminster CA 92683
(714)891-8779

Talk to Greg.


Why u coming down to LA to get tint?
Why in Cerritos area?

Thanks for the info. I grew up in Cerritos, and my parents still live there. I am driving down for the weekend, so I thought that I should use this chance to get my car tinted, since it's bound to be cheaper than the Bay Area.

Default Tint Shop Recommendation

I would highly recommend that driving a little further south to Wintech in Costa Mesa.

They did my GS with security tint on the side windows (you can't break the window from the outside now!). They did a great job, at a reasonable price. In addition, they don't just do cars, they do commercial and residential tinting as well. So, they have some major experience. You won't be disappointed!

Wintech
Costa Mesa, California
2183 Fairview Rd, Ste. 215
Costa Mesa (Newport Blvd/Fairview)

Tel#: 800-599-5994
Fax#: 949-548-9757
Ask for Zoilo (and tell him Allan with the silver GS sent you)

Cool Re: Tint

hlee1169,

Xlnt Tint in Anahiem 714-630-6227. I've had all three of my Lexus done there. They do "A" plus job. Ask for Steve Navarro. Tell him Dr. Chang sent you and he should give you the "hook-up" price. Better yet here is his pager number 714-324-1836 I'd recommend to call him directly.

We could have a small gathering in Cerritos this weekend.

I took my car to California Tint for platinum tint (better than titanium) and they did an okay job. Not great.

Default Thanks a lot

Thank you guys for the excellent information. If I can find a nice software engineering job in LA, I will move back and enjoy cruise with you guys.

I am also going to Carson Toyota to see Steve and pick up the TRD LSD. I think I am addicted to modifying my car and can't stop spending. I also want to pick up the SRT torque converter. I might need help.
