tinting with the "tint guys"
 
anyone ever used this company before? Tint Guys - Toronto Car Window Tinting

they offered me a price of $160 for fronts, rears, and back window at 35%. But that seems like a really cheap price from what i've seen but it's also such a good deal. I went to the "detail shop" in newmarket and they told me $380, no way i wanna pay that much even for the formula 1 ceramic tint he was trying to tell me i apparently "have" to have on my rear window. Radio signal isn't a big issue.

Hey Everyone,

I have had one of the worst experiences dealing with the a$$hole (Seymore) at the tint guys. I had my windows tinted there, and they did a horrible job. Every window had either dust spots, creases and other bubbles (and not just one or two, I'm talking multiple clusters). I brought it back to them and they redid the driver and passenger windows, and there were more problems the second time than there were the first time... I wanted the rear window done as well, but he kept trying to talk his way out of doing it. I went to another tint shop to confirm that I wasn't being overly picky, and they agreed it was a bad job. I returned again to have all the windows redone and that's when things went horribly wrong. He said that he agreed that the tints were not the "best" job, (though I paid 250 with tax included), and that he was not willing to redo them again (even though he guaranteed a lifetime warranty) because he felt he would not be able to please me (aka they would not be any better than they currently were). I said that I understood and that the only reasonable option was to work out a refund. I wasn't expecting to get all of my money back, but I did expect to get the majority of it back. He offered $75, and after an hour of arguing, went up to $100. He refused to go any higher and was trying to offer products that I don't need or another tint job on another car instead of payment (which I don't know if he'll do any better of a job). I refused all of those and he basically said I would have to take him to court. In desperation, and after a couple more hours of arguing, I agreed to take a bluetooth device that was priced in his shop at $250. He actually made me pay him $25 dollars for it, and so I did and then I left. I then went online to find the exact same products selling for $130... This guys is a scam artist and an unreasonable person to deal with on every level. I didn't have this done on my S5 (thank god), but I still wanted to go on every forum I can find to warn people about this shop. For your own good, please stay away from The Tint Guys at 101 Freshway Dr. Clearly even their products are rediculously overpriced... Also, please pass this message on to anyone else who may be considering them.

Happy Driving!

I had the worst experience with Ziebart, if anyone knows them. Multiple bubbles and dust in the rear mirror, i took it back and they re-applyied it with a new tint and still was there. They offered to do a free car for my inconvenience.

Had my tint done at Krown Lakeshore (sponsor of site) call and ask for Igor. They did a great job. I wouldn't let just anyone mess with my S4

John @ autolinks knows what he's doing. Give him a shout! Took him about 45 minutes - zero bubbles after the tints had dried.

Paid $180.
