You guys are paying way too much for tint. I paid $125 carbon tint for 5 windows with life-time warranty and is tinted by the best tint shop in socal(California tint).

Whether they were referred or not, it looks like your quote is on the high end, by at least $100. Have you called around and checked prices anywhere else? The guy I used does great work, and takes care of any issues. I got quotes from other shops for less, but had several people tell me that they had heard of issues with some of them in the past. I even heard that one shop dedicated a certain day (Tuesdays, I think), to doing warranty and comeback work! That isn't the kind of place you want, but you don't want to lay down 4 bills if you can get it done for $250 somewhere else either.
