Question Calling All BAY AREA Benz Owners... Need your insight!!

Hows it going yall... i'm looking to tint the windows on my 05' c230 and i'm looking for a local BAY AREA shop.

Was wondering if any of yall can recommend a reputable shop the won't f*$K up my ride in the process.

I'm located in the south bay but anywere in the bay is cool but not North of Berkeley... thats a little to much drive for me....

Thanks for looking out!

i have 35% on the front and rear sides, and 30 in the rear. it looks even since you get the light coming in from the front window through the back. and yes they do a very nice job and felt is included, i think i paid like 270? don't really remember. kinda pricey but worth every penny.

thanks for the compliments on the car. i need a drop desperately, but i can wait for that.

They just wrapped the front of my C230k last week. Awesome job!
I asked about a tint job. $550 all windows. Yes, a little pricey. But, they do very good work. All high end cars in the shop. This is using non- metallic tint. I am going for the 73% all around. This will keep me out of trouble with police that have nothing better to do.

Got all my cars done there except the MB. They remove all passenger windows, tint the whole thing, and let it sit under a heat lamp, that way you have no gaps. Great and best price around too...

dude lifetimetint.com i just got mine done with suntek carbon film 35% all around looks pretty damn sweet. for only 200 bucks, he's a really cool guy lifetime warranty on his workmanship and the film is covered lifetime by the factory.
PS- install moleskin right after!

no problem bro... did you have any problems with the FM radio going bad or GPS if you have? Been reading on forums that if they don't know what they are doing that they will mess up your fm radio and GPS.
