Tint question

I have a local car audio shop quoting me $600 for all 7 windows and asked me if I have Navigation because some tints interfere with the signal. I am not questioning his knowledge because I'm sure he's done thousands of installs but what kind of tint should I ask for and what not to ask for? Is it the metallic tint to avoid? I have been quoted with at least half that price at other places and they did a good job on a friends A6 and Lexus. Should I go for the less expensive or go for the more expensive since they "may" know a lot more?

$600 is far too much for tint,and 35% is the right amount of stealth and common sense I paid the same price for both my Benzes,and got the same degree tint.(IMO) The top price you should pay is around $150 Good Luck
