Default Window Tinting & Detailing

I'm getting ready to make my appointment for the 5K service. While I'm there, I want my window tinted and car detailed. How much do Lexus typically charge for window tints and detailing? Do they do a good job? My car is baked under the sun daily so I need tints.

I have several choices - Longo Lexus, Lexus of Cerritos, Glendale Lexus, and Beverly Hills Lexus.

TIA

Well, it's best that you go to a third party tint place. Most, if not all dealers, will just take your car to a tint shop they do business with and get it tinted. Then they'll just charge you a whole lotta money for it.

There has been a few tint location mentioned in the So Cal forums. Check there, there was a recent thread about it.

Great! Where did you get it done at? What type of tint and cost? Did they take out the door panel?
