What's a good window tinting shop?

Does anyone know of a reasonably priced place (~$200) to tint all 5 windows?

I got mine done at Mr tint. My friend called ahead and said he worked for a dealership and was referring me and they gave a bit of a discount. Worth a shot. Lol

if you can drive up to Sac, i'd recommend Kevin Zoldan. He tinted our forester 7 windows + 2 tiny windows up front (9 total) for $210. i think it was 18% rear and 50% front. He's done several Subaru's on this forum and does tint work for Subaru dealership. Quality work that comes with lifetime warranty. He's not on Yelp but has FB page.

My bad, I did search and find those threads, but I was hoping for a shop strictly in San Jose.
Probably should've clarified that..

Last time I found tinting for $130 at this place called "El Tri" in campbell but they scraped off some of my defroster lines. Plus, they ended up charging me $150 after giving me bs about my window being too curved on the 300zx. lol, needless to say, I will not be going there again

Two of the linked threads are only 2 months old.

Its like people coming in and asking "what shop should I take my car to?"

It gets posted almost once every other week.

I dont think we "mobbed" anyone. Just a reminder, and for those who see it too, try an search first.

Has anyone been to Automall Tint Specialist? An appointment with Vince is 4 weeks out and he prefers not to do Sat (I work 8-5/M-F). Rocky Mountain is out 6 weeks for a Sat Appt.

Looking for ceramic tint from a reputable shop that can do it on Saturdays.
