Hann actually trained Sam back in the day, and yes, they are both consultants for Madico and Huper... Both guys do EXCELLENT work... THe only thing is, Hann usually uses Huper at his shop due to contracts and only does Madico through his off site dealers. (he still does the work himself). The cool thing with Sam is his clearbra installations. OMG! The best that I've see to date! Too bad both their prices reflect on it...

I believe you'll need an appointment. Give them a call to find out their hours and if you need to make an appointment or not.

I assume $480+ at Song's is for top of the line ceramic tints of 5 windows (4-sides and 1 rear)? I wanna tint my ES350 but dont wanna spend so much. I think i'll go with 40% as well....though I wish I could choose 35% which I believe is legal here in california. Is the type of tint the only factor in pricing? He doesnt care the size of car window or how tough it is to disassemble door panel? Does it make a difference if Hann does it or his crew?

San Diego/ Don't tint windshield
In San Diego...Tech Formula on Miramar. They do great detail work too. I've had two cars tinted there. Years later they are great. Prices irrelevant because they were SUV's = many windows.
We had the windshield tinted in one car with a clear film. It was supposed to help protect the interior/us. Bad choice. It added a very slight wave to the window. We didn't really notice it at first, but over time it drove us nuts. It didn't get worse over time, it just irritated us more and more. Had it removed.

Went to Song's today to get my tint. Hann wasnt there, but Tony was and he did a great job. I ended up getting the Madico CH Polyeurathane Ultimate 35% tint with lifetime warranty for $250. The craftsmanship/installation was flawless as far as I can tell. I felt confident that they knew what they were doing. The removed the strip panel of the front doors and put them back perfectly. What a difference in light protection wow!
Since i'm new to tinting, maybe you guys can answer some questions:
Tony said not to roll down window for 24 hrs. Isnt the curing period longer?
Tony said temperature doesnt really affect the product, so parking outside in sun or cold doesnt matter. I am a little concerned cus i gotta park outside this week and dont want the tint to warp.
Lastly, which i forgot to ask Tony.... after i got home, from certain angle I see streak marks from the outside....looks kinda like air streaks..... Do these disappear as time goes by? I hope so cus they kinda irritating looking.
If you have tint experience, please advise. Thanks.

Window Tint in Los Angeles
Guys, I need a good and decently priced window tint shop in LA.
I remember there is a popular one in Alhambra area? I forget the name and exactly where though.

If you want good and decent price, California Tint. Simple as that. Just look for Peter.
I know other people would also recommend Pro Tint in Rosemead as well. But they did a bad job on my previous vehicle, so I don't recommend them.
My recommendation would be Song's Tint Masters, pricing is good, but not the cheapest in town for the work.
