A good/reputable shop for windows tinting in the area?

I'm looking to tint windows for my civic preferably summer comes and I was wondering if there's any good/reputable shop who can do great job. I wanted to know if any of you guys had good experience that lasted for years. I'd rather pay $250 for great job than $99 for half-a$$ job to have my tint look decent after 5 years or so.

If so, how much did you guys pay for? And what % did you go for all windows? Letz bring this forum alive!!!

heres my input-
why wait till the summer first of all?
If the shop is inside and they do it right, you can take a freshly tinted car out into below 0 weather and be fine.
Infact i did it myself last week on my new si.
It was 15 degrees out to be exact and the tint came out great.
It just takes longer for it to cure
(meaning longer before you can roll down windows)
I went 35% for all windows cept the front windshield.
Cost 160 came with 5 yr warranty.

Where did you get your tint done? Do you have any pictures of your car?
I was thinking about 35% all around also cuz I never like it too dark.

I had my Coupe done for $100 w/ 5 year warranty by Black Out Tint in Salinas. They did a decent job for the price.

I am also interested in which places do good work. I hear the average price for a Civic like ours would be $160

Call Chuy from Chuy's Mobile Tint. He'll come to your place and do the tint right there! 310.864.2483. Tell him Andre sent you.

He uses only Suntek tint. One of the best. I paid a really good price for my Sedan (including a front banner).
