    I just got it done @ a shop in St. Charles.... $225 full tint. They gotta redo the front tho. I haven't been able to roll down the windows yet to see the lines at the top but the 2 fronts at the bottom stop almost a half inch from the seal not even close to straight line all jagged and on like 25% of it where it seems to be worse it was covered up with what seems to be a black marker of sorts. Im not to pleased. There gonna redo the fronts tho. They did 2 of my buddies cars and did great. Either way Im pi$$ed

    The did a amzing job on bubbies Fusion and SRT4 like flawless. I took it back, got the owner out there and showed him what was up because it was just no good. The owner was SOOO cool about it. He was pi$$ed for me. He tried to call his tint guy right there. So long story short my car is getting 100% retinted next week and hes done using this guy. It his shops name on my tints pretty much ya know. They do amazing audio and all the other tints Ive seen outta there are great maybe he just didnt like my GS lol

    So I went to autopia.... The owner was real nice and all but I had to take the wifes car back to have a window redone and they redid the wrong window. Besides that they did good on her car my GS on the other hand... TONS of bubbles its only been 3 days but its hot as hell so I think they shoulda been gone by now. Ill give it another week. I have never had this many issues with tints in my life. Autopia isnt bad for the price it was $130 for my whole car. We will see

    Yea there prices for around here just cant be beat tho ya know, Normal prices in this are are 250ish. They have screwed up my wifes twice so far and my GS is back there right now for a FULL retint. It sucks cuz there not to far but far enough to make it a pain. My rear window was peeling up & all of my windows had bubble clusters I dont get it. My wifes they scratched this plastic part on her brand new car with 1,000 miles. Long story short they suck. BUT we will see how they do this time if they screw up again they can rip it off and give me my cash back... Im kinda pissed

    DO NOT GO TO AUTOPIA AUTO SPA. Pretty much just had the tinter aka Gangbanger try and squar off with me. Lon Long story short it was the 3RD TIME i brought my car out there just for them to turn me around because either one of there rinters left early or they didnt have 35% whatever it may be. I got hung up on swore at a bunch of BS. I didnt end up being to friendly myself tho after he clinched his fists at me and flexed. Tht was the end of me being even a little nice. NEVER EVER go there. Seems every time I go there too theres somone else there getting there tint redone. I honestly think its just this one lil gangbanger dude that sux but somhow this craphole did both our cars.
