SF Bay Area tint installer recommendations?


Hi folks, can anyone recommend a good tint installer either around Oakland or Monterey (I live in Oakland but work in Monterey during the week). I'm looking for a ceramic tint for my car since I have GPS and a TV antenna so I don't want a metallic tint messing with the reception. If anyone has suggestions. I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Andrew

Wow, that's quite a commute to work. There are other options from metallized film. Many film manufacturers make non-metallized film for vehicles w/ navi, alarms, etc. This is one reason, I use only Madico Onyx w/ my cars. It is a metallized film, but signal disruption is minimal to none because of careful attention to amount of metals being layed onto the film. If you would like more info on Madico's film, just pm me.

You should get it done with me, I;m going to do it at Auto mall tint factory, located in the East Bay, they will offer a group discount, possibly $350 or lower

Re: SF Bay Area tint installer recommendations?

is it huper optic film from the fremont 'tint factory'? last time i checked their price, about 4 weeks ago, they were going to charge me 420 for 5 windows. kinda too much for tint jobs.

they don't normally stick to the 'advertised' group discount.. maybe they are good at what they do for living, but they don't normally honor 'group discounts'.

FYI for you guys. If you are near Monterey and have like a month to wait for an appointment, there's Joey at Peninsula Tint in Marina. The guy does a really good job. He actually takes the side windows out to tint them as well as take the rear seats out so he can get to the rear window. Best of all, he does Llumar Formula One ceramic tint on the entire sedan for $360. He's doing my car right now. Saw some of his other work and it's pretty perfect.
