Lifetime tint in san jose. Got two of my cars tinted there. The tint is computer cut and they always do a nice job. You can search for them on craigslist under auto services or parts, I forget. I believe it cost 180 for my wagon, carbon tint, the cheaper one is the metallic. Only thing is cash only and no appointments so show up early.

I've had California Auto Tint put tint for three of my cars so far. Quite happy with it. Not cheap, but this place does "burn" (thinking hair dryer/heat gun) the tint on...and if i recall correctly, they remove your windows too.

very very clean jobs, tint cut on the window edge, and across effectively 12 years (3 cars total, for 2 years, 4 years and 6 years), I've only ever had one noticeable bubble, and that was the size of a dried rice kernel.

Funny you mention that shop. Thats the shop that quoted me 400$ for 3 rear windows and they know I work down the street too. They definitely do pro work but way too expensive.
