Default Looking for tint shop, Bellevue WA

Hey whats goin on!

My buddy just got an 09 Mazda6. And let me tell you it's quite a step forward for Mazda. It's an amazing vehicle.

She wants to get the windows tinted. So I told her I'd ask here since you guys probably know the best place to go to over there.

She lives in Bellevue so anywhere around there would be perfect.

Thanks for any help guys!

I've heard Accutint is good but a little pricey. Im personally forever loyal to Jays Tint Shop in Kirkland...Ill be going there to get fresh tint on my GS once I fix the door trim. My supervisor was also telling me about a tint place that uses a new tint with metal flakes in it to repel light more and keep it from fading over time. Its been a few weeks but Ill have to get the name from him and check up on it. But basically, I'd steer her towards Accutint or Jays

The metal flake tint is called Titanium tint.

But not good with Car Alarms. The metal in the tint defeats the signal to disarm the alarm from far distances. But up close, its fine.

also if you have any electronics such as radio/ navigation/ or radar detector, metallic tint reduces your electronics' performance... just a heads up
