if its for a subie, omega does a great job, no cutting on the edges, if its for a car with window frames, not sure if he cuts mouldings to hide tint cut or not...but try Vince @ Omega anyways, he does some good quality work.

Gino,
We use Tint's R Us, they do mobile service and they do excellent work at a reasonable price. They use pretty good tint film (Solar Guard). 3M tint film is over rated, not as good as it used to be. Stick with Solar Guard, Johnsons and 3M tint film, all other films are crap. Ask for Juan Pena and tell him Jeff from Auto Collision Center in Hayward(off of Depot Rd, there's two of us), recommended him. Tint's R Us # 408-971-7009. Good Luck!
-Jeff

Re: I need a good auto window tint shop :)

are you talking about the quarter windows? Most places trim them so the film will lay inside that gasket and not have light gaps.

You want somebody that uses a plotter/cutter system to cut the film like mine. You also want a premium film like Formula One, that offers a full metalic film that dosn't look shiny or real reflective.
PM me for more details if interested.
Later
