Default Houston, TX - recommendations on tint?

Anyone on the boards from Houston that can recommend a good place to get a tint job done? I called up some places and they either don't carry or aren't willing to do the front windows at 20-25%.

Also, is getting the crystalline/ceramic tinting that much of a difference compared to the standard 3M tint? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info. I've read so many varying reviews on executive tint so far. There are a lot of negative reviews. Do you know if they use a heat gun to apply the tint?

Anyone head of EVS motorsports on Bellaire? I was considering going there.

I have been dealing with Brandon at Executive for over 10 years. Great work at great price. All their tint are pre-cut. I heard about Ted at EVS. Been told that they are a rip-off.

I second this. Executive hands down, no questions. They did my SC about 4 years ago, and not one issue, warranty and I was in an out in under an hour. Dont remember if I spoke with Brandon, but whoever I spoke with was very helpful on tint choice and the cost was more than acceptable for what I chose compared to other places I had called in the area.

Went to EVS to get tint on the Benz. They are a bit pricier, but have great customer service and really take care of your car. I don't really trust Executive and those negative feedbacks are there for a reason. My friend is a high end detailer and they had just finished up an SLS and dropped it off at Executive to get tinted. Owner gets the car back and there was a huge dent. Executive tried to blame my friend, but luckily my friend likes to record his work so he had a video right before they dropped the car off with the time stamp and everything. Shady.

Where did you end up going? I just recently picked up my car and want to get cermaic tint done. I have heard both good reviews and bad reviews at the places listed above. I may go to pasadena and find one of the hole in the wall places.

Sorry for late response, I ended up going to EVS. They did a good job. I got their solar adaptive tint. It was pricey $$$
