Detailing Shop in New Market is one that many have used here in Toronto. One of the guys got a ceramic ting on his A4, app. $285. They also can install a clear bra.

i got my tints done at FX Auto Markham....when i went there they didn't have precuts for my car so it took longer but it turned out great....

these guys did a great job, i also had a clear bra done as well as rustproofing with them....these guys are also recommended by some other car clubs...
my clear bra had a few bubbles and they told me to hit them up after winter to replace it after a good beating...very nice guys... i don't rmb price ill see if i can find receipt....

I'm also looking for a place to get my windows tinted. When I bought my car, the dealer was offering a tint for $399 - a rip-off if you ask me - so I'm still looking. Also, I've heard that some places offer a life-time warranty on the tint job ( I know of one place in Ottawa ), that would be my ideal place to get windows tinted.

The place that did my previous car and all of Maranello BMW's cars is called Royal Tint. they are located in Concord and they did and absolutely amazing job on my car. They charged me $235 for my Ford Focus Hatchback. It also comes with warranty. This was 5 years ago but they tint is still holding up amazingly.

$399 a rip off?

I paid 3x as much as that for my tint job but I did go for Huper Optik ceramic film and it's not cheap.

I highly reccomend Huper film as it looks great on German cars, rejects so much heat and has 99.9% UV rejection.

In the summer my car actually gets hotter when I roll down my windows.

The extra you pay now I get back in reduced A/C use which means better mileage and the UV protection helps the interior and my skin/eyes.
