Exclamation window tint shops in NewJersey? asap... help

I need to tint my sis car this weekend. She and I work late during the week so its gotta be done 6/14 or 6/15. I'm in Jersey, Freehold exact. Is AutoImage any good? They have 5or6 locations, all the same or some better or worse? I didnt find/google anything else close by...

She just needs 3 windows done - rear passenger windows and rear glass , nothing fancy just NOT purple. Anything that blocks the sun i guess. Any reccomendations plz chime in.

uh, she bought those cling-on static tint film rolls and wanted me to put them on. To which i said return them back to Costco and lets find a tint shop.

Any suggestions please let me know, i want to get this done.....Al.

Dunno if I am too late on this, but Top of the Line Tint in Lodi did both of my S Class' and did a fantastic job.

The Newark shop is an independent shop, the dude works out of his own garage but he has all the computerized equipment and i know it sounds shady but he does a real real good job and gets plenty of customers on a daily basis. I gave GS400Rcrx the # to the place, pm him for it. I'm away from my car right now so I cant retreive the number I have on their stickr on my windshield. BTW, its lifetime warranty too

Hey guys, just to let you know I got my tints done at this guys place today. He does it out of his house and the business is called "House of Tint" and the number is 973-393-4499. 80 bucks for tint (4 windows and rear window), extra if he needs to clean previous tint scum out of your windows. Uses computerized cuts for all makes and models, many styles, colors, designs, etc. His name is Sakor, awesome guy, been doing this for 13 years, very professional, and they turned out great! Lifetime guarantee and everything.

Highly suggested guys. And let him know you heard from me (Rob, GS300) and/or ClubLexus.

Location is:

258 S. 7th Street
Newark, NJ

Make sure you call him beforehand so he can tell you when he's available.

I found the best way is take the GSP, get off at 144, go straight off the exit til you hit south orange st/rd. take a right onto south orange, go about a mile and take a left onto s. 7th street.

Cake...

Lexgirl702, it's going to take you roughly 2 hours or so to get up to Newark, plus tolls, and other stuff. We can help you find some good shops around your area

yeah lexgirl, they have good points... it only takes me 25-30 minutes to get there, so its worth it for me. But if you have to drive 2 hours... i don't think it would be worth it unless you were going up there for something else.

over in Edison, the AutoImage there had a sign out for $95 for tints... don't know what that entails, but it's less of a distance.
