I just had my windows tinted today at Pro Tint in Sunnyvale, and it turned out very good . The # is 408-734-9663 -address is 1016 Morse. He advertises 3 windows for $99 on Craigslist alot. But it was 175 for all 5 windows.
I'm usually somewhat picky, and was nervous all day , because i really didnt know anything about this place. And am normally careful who i go to for service. So i was pleasantly surprised that it turned out well. -Anyhow i would recommend!

^^ Do you happen to know what kind of film was used on your car for that price?

The type of film use will vary the price of installation.

And what about warranty?

As posted earlier Automall Tint Factory in Fremont Auto mall exit.

Don't go to a tint shop that has employees changing like a revolving door. Go to a tint specialist. Sid and his partner do all the work for over 15 years now. This is the same advice I give on other services. Don't go to a paint shop go to a painter, don't go to a repair shop, go to a specific mechanic.


Automall has done a ton of CL members for years now, including my past 5 cars. Talk to Sid and tell him you were referred by CL.

Ask him about the special tint job he did on Glen's GS. A little something special he does for the GS that works quite well.

Auto Mall Tint Specialist

I got my GS done there. Sid did the work himself. He's meticulous and picky, so he does a great job. They used to be called Auto Mall Tint Factory, but have now changed their name to Auto Mall Tint Specialist. He does a great job. I will take my future cars to him also.
