Seattle tint shop recommendation

I'm looking for a tint shop near downtown or north Seattle. I did a little research and a shop called Midnight Tint on Hwy 99 just North of downtown seems to have a few good reviews. Their quote is $200 for 07 Civic 4dr 35% all around minus windshield.
Anyone done business with them before? Can you guys share some inputs?

Thanks in advance.

I've had cars done at Tint Xperts and Solar reflections. Both in Auburn but both have done really nice jobs. Sorry don't live in that area.

I'd recommend Accutint. I went to the Seattle one. They are all the same. I will be taking my wife's Tacoma there shortly.

Yeah the sun only shines for a few month, so I think 35% all around should do.
