Autolinks (Toronto) Tint and 3M Vinyl!!

Hey guys so today I had my car tinted with pinnacle 40% ceramic tint and the taillights done in a light smoke with the centres cut out. I also had the chrome window trim blacked out with gloss black 3M film.

I had the work done at Autolinks in Toronto and I must admit I was more than impressed! Their shop was very nice and clean, the guys are very friendly, open and extremely careful with their work! They spent over 8hrs on my car making it perfect! They even re-applied a new piece of vinyl for 2 of the smallest wrinkles.. It was hardly noticeable! They wouldn't stop until it was perfect, which says a lot about the quality of the work done. If anyone is thinking of getting tint or vinyl done in the GTA it is very worth going to see these guys! I give them 5 stars!!

Nice job! The tint on the tails are very subtle which is a good thing.

How much for just the door trim?

Nice I have the pinnacle tint on my car as well but at 35% and it definitely works well and keeps the heat out. Your car's looking good

Looks great! Did you notice a big different in heat reduction? Auto Links did all my cars and the audio work in the CLK. Great guys to deal with. Have to go back there to get that AirBlue tint done on my front windshield.

Hey VaclavSV, throw me on the PM list please. While we are on the topic, did anyone look at the blacked out running lights and grille on the Supreme Power White Coupe? How did they do that? 3M vinyl or plastidip?

was thinking... maybe we can organize a C63 / MBworld group buy day with autolinks even if we dont get a discount, might be neat to get all our cars done on the same day.

only disclaimer is that it'll have to wait till I get my ride back

If you're going in for a group buy, tell John you're from PureMB too. He might be able to help a bit on price.

Nicely done VaclacSV! I also went in there today to get my taillights done and a window trim fixed because one of them was peeling off. They didn't charge me for the fix. Auto-links!

Have had multiple cars tinted at Auto-links and they also did the gloss black wrap on my grill/DRLs. John and Steven are stand up guys doing great work, highly recommended for anyone in the GTA.
