well....I would say if you were up for a drive that springfield has an awesome tint shop. Cheap to. 130 to get my aurora completely tinted, all 5 windows and a strip across the front. And they offer 3 year warranty and their work was really good.

The Zeibarts around here are notoriously bad. I have seen on two occasions; they tore a small piece of tint off, or used a damaged roll. They filled in the hole with a sharpie (painted the glass with permanent marker instead of using a new clean sheet). I haven't seen a single Zeibart install that hasn't bubbled or turned purple. I do not recommend their services.
I look for custom tinting places. Specific to the trade. For example in Edmonton we have Malcolms Tinting. The guy is well known around the city and will guarantee his work 100% no questions asked.
He uses UV guns to seal his work so you don't have to wait 2 days before opening the windows.

Check with any custom stereo shops in your area, some will have tint services too or they may have a good recommendation since I'm sure they see many customized vehicles come through. $130 is an awesome price for a complete tint, Ziebart in Bloomington charges at least $200.  |

theres not a whole lot of places around yorkville.. Im going most likely with a guy in naperville. He has done some high profile people's cars.. such as ryan theriot, he also does tint for buildings and homes. I seen his work last night and it looks really nice.
i stopped by ziebarts on the way home in ottawa and they want $280 to do my car. i told the guy he was nuts lol. Greg in naperville said he'd come to my house (cause i said it was kinda out of my way to go up there, and i told him i might just have to go to Ziebarts and he said no dont go there and that they dont do quality work, Ill come to you) and do it for $220 and it comes with a lifetime warranty and a he guarantees his work. will be having it done on thursday or friday.

Dang, I went to Zeibart with my old car. Was about $220 for all four windows. They did a great job, It looked great up until the day I got rid of the car (almost 5 years later) I never had a problem with the tint, no bubbles etc. And it had a lifetime warranty. Where is that tint shop in springfield? That's dang cheap! Although like Don said before I'd probably end up spending the money I save on the gas to get there lol |
