Question quick window tint in bay area

Hi,
I've tried reading the window thread that was started years ago but it kind of dies off at the end.
I'm in san jose ca and have an is250. I have received quotes from premiere in san jose for $250 and as high as $350 at other shops mentioned on this forum. Some shops state machine cut is not the best being that there will be a bit of tint left out and of course manual cut leaves a chance of cutting up the weather stripping etc..
what is your take and what shops in san jose would you recommend?

thanks in advance.

Computer cut patterns suck and will not look as good as a tinter who knows how to cut quality patterns. If you have a reputable tinter they won't cut the seals. If you were in Nebraska I'd offer you a great tint job at drastically less money than that but unfortunately California isn't anywhere close lol

Best Image in San Mateo. Great price if you pay in cash and the tint still looks good after 3 years.
