Thanks for the heads up man, which Zeibart are you talking about? i have always gone to the one in Centerville, OH. They have always done pretty good work, if not "perfect". I would really prefer to use a true tint shop that only does tints as I think Zeibart is more a jcak of all trades and master of none type shop for tint. I would love to know where your dealership goes. Please hit me up with that info what you have it. I'm dying to get this car tinted ASAP!! Thanks!

Here is something to think about....Ziebart does offer a life time warrenty for bubbles, tint rips and fading on their installs and product. Most specialty shops do to, but the one I went to (who did an amazing job) is no longer in business after 5 years.

good luck! If nothing else, we have two great shops in Columbus, Preformance Auto Spa and Mr. Tint. Most of our local members have used them and report nothing but great work from them.

I was talking about the Ziebart down the street from the dealership here in Fairborn, but I asked around and according to the 3 managers all 3 dealerships here in Fairborn go to "The Tint King" The number is 937-520-6022 and they are located on N.Broad here in Fairborn. All 3 managers highly recommend them and they said all their cars come back perfect and they haven't had to take the cars back for nothing unlike when they used to use Ziebart.

Jeff Schmitt Chevy, Used, and Mitsu here in fairborn and on weekends I work at Jeff Schmitt Cadillac and Nissan,... say the manager Charlie from Jeff Schmitt Chevy used cars recommended you because he apparently uses them about every week. Hopefully you'll get a discount too!

I'm in the Mason (NW Cincy area) and here are the shops I've used so far:

Tint: SolarTint $180 OTD for all windows on a sedan, 3M, lifetime warranty, they have been around for over 20 years.
Installing Eibachs: Thomas & Son $150 cash. small shop but good guys and good service.
Exhaust: FlowTek fixed ARK leak for free, guys were kinda shady but they seemed to know what they were doing with exhaust and what is better than free.
Alignment: Performance Alignment I wish I could recommend them but after waiting over an hour for the tech to get in (appt. was 10:30 and he got in after 11:30), and paying $120; less than an hour was spent trying to align the car and eventually only the toe was even close to specs. After getting new rear camber arms I went to Tires Plus for better service and similar results.

I'm on the hunt for a good body shop for the OEM front lip and I'll be done for a while, maybe.

I did get a small discount which was nice

Honestly though I would have had NO problem paying full price as Dean did a phenomenal job!! Seriously the best tint job I've ever had by a mile! Truly flawless. I'll post pics once I get my wheels on there, hopefully tomorrow.

Thanks again for the heads up on the shop.
