Default DFW Tint Shop (yes I used "Search")

Ok so I searched and only found one guy advertising his own shop, but the post was a couple years old and his website is no longer.

So I want to get the windows RE-tinted. I bought the car with light tint already on and want to go darker. Need a shop that can strip with damaging anything and do a good tint job.

DFW area. I'm in Euless so I'm pretty much smack dab in the middle of the metroplex. Any suggestion is welcomed.

Thanks,
-Eric

If you don't mind a little bit of a drive I know a guy in The Colony that does an excellent job. He has done a few of my cars and I have never been disappointed. He offers a lifetime warranty and really good prices.

Eric,

They will charge you twice as much for stipping the tint off of your windows. So its best to strip the tint off yourself and then get them re-tinted.

I know its a pain in the A$$.....but well worth the extra effort.

Well I could strip the side windows myself, but how do you strip the back without damaging the rear defrost?

I'm in Little Elm, and i do tint out of my house on the side. Used to have a shop in Mckinney called Premier Auto Tint.

I can strip (without damaging anything) and retint, with whatever you want on it for cash! You still get the lifetime warranty with Llumar via warranty card, just no receipt since i only take cash.

Let me know.

Thanks

Jeremy

Jeremy,

You're the one I read about awhile back. I noticed you didn't have your business going anymore so I'd been searching for something else.

I understand about the cash deal thing.

Stripping the rear with defrost not a problem?

+1 for Tritek, David did the tint on my 350Z. He does excellent work, give him a call he will take care of you.

I know David as well at Tritek in Garland.
It would not be less than 200 for a strip and retint. It would be less than 200 for just a tint job, if you already had clear windows.

he also uses Madico film, which is not a favorite of mine. In my opinion cheaper quality film, different kind of look, etc.

Doesn't it usually go from 15% down to like 7%, 5%, 3%. Something like that. I dunno.

Jeremy, do you have all levels available? I'll more than likely set something up with you in a couple of weeks. I work two weeks on, one week off so my schedule is crazy for the next couple of weeks. Would you want to do it during the week or on a weekend?
