Alberta tint shop??

Hey everyone.... new guy here


I was wondering if anyone could suggest a place to get my windows tinted on my coupe?

I called 3 tint shops, 1 here locally, and 2 in Edmonton..... and they all more or less laughed and said they don't touch beemers.

Is there something they know that I don't??

Anyways... if anyone could recommend a decent shop it would be appreciated... thanks!

100% Blackout tinting in Edmonton. They have done my Bimmer, Viper, and Dodge truck. All top notch jobs, and super great guys to deal with.

I don't think they actually take anything apart, but even if they did the BMW is a pretty easy door skin to remove.

In Edmonton was looking for a ceramic tint that didn't affect comfort access.
Clear Choice Auto did our first BMW as they had Huper Optik Tint. Turns out it did affect my comfort access a little
Supertint did our second BMW as they had Pinnacle Formula 1 tint. This didn't affect comfort access.

Both were great to deal with.

for the higher quality Suntek film, it was $250 + tax for the hood, fender & mirrors

I'm happy with the work they did
