Wondering if anyone has had their tint done at Terrific Tint in Mission Viejo?

I went in there today (after being recommended) to get some tint put on my new second car.. The guy working, which i'm assuming is the owner, was VERY rude and disrespectful towards me wanting to have 15% all around, he kept raising his voice with me and not letting me get a word in & kept trying to talk me out of doing it, even though i kept reassuring him that I have has multiple cars with the same % and never had any issues.

Needless to say, I left the shop shortly after WITH my car. and would not recommend anyone to this business

I got mine done at Socal Autosound in Costa Mesa.

20% All the way around, lifetime warranty, ~$150.

They told me to drop the car off in the AM and they will have it ready whenever its perfect and done right all the way around

Alvin is great. He installed the tint on my GS300 and GS430 back when I lived in San Diego.

+1 for SoCal Autosound! They did my tints and kept working at it till it was right. even if you feel there are bubbles or wrinkles that shouldnt be there, they'll take it back and fix it for you. Tony has great service!

i drove out the almost 90 minutes to visit norman at vip tint + glass in murrieta to get llumar air 80 blue installed. they did an awesome job on my 600h -- many, many tint shops are scared to tint that car, for some reason.

I recommend Rich's Tint Shop in West Covina next to Alamo car wash. He's been there for ages in his 1 car garage. Good work and fair prices w/ lifetime warranty.

I went to Song's Tint Masters yesterday to tint my CTh and Hann completed the job in a few hours and looks great. There was one guy ahead of me and a lady in a Mustang pulled right after me. I need to wash my car and I'll post pictures...
