Default Window tinting Melbourne

Hi all,

Anyone know where the best place to get the front 2 windows done on a car

The rest of the windows has privacy glass

Anyone had theirs done and what would be the average price?

Tint Proffessor Campbellfield, Good service and good after sales service too. I don't think it would be fair of me to disclose the price as they did four cars in a row for me so they did a special price for a 'package deal'.

If you are south side - Ultrashade tint in Moorabbin. I hunted around for a while to find the right place as I didn't want to leave my car with just anyone ... Got top service and job from an owner operator : Philip ... Works there with his sons (one with an fg xr8 ute) they don't just do cars - do mostly high end commercial building jobs. At least you know you won't have monkeys handling your car and that they will do a proper job. I think it was about $440 to do my GT which was pretty good I thought not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

Their understanding of what a legal tint was, was off the mark. This was a problem because a family member who didn't know much about tinting asked for a legal tint and ended up with one too dark - and then they tried to obfuscate when challenged, much too rudely I thought. They did however back down once I indicated I was going to take it further and replaced for free. To their credit the work itself was of a good standard and I can't fault it at all 18 months later. If you have a good understanding of what you want (and you're familiar with what VicRoads considers roadworthy compliant so you don't have to rely on their opinion) it'll be fine. I'll soon be getting my car tinted and will look elsewhere owing to the customer service I experienced rather than the standard of work.
