Tint King - Billerica

Anyone get their tint down at Tint King in Billerica? I talked to Brian last year when I first started considering tint on my F31. I have read lot's of good stuff, but it's a ways away from me so just want to hear any of your thoughts before I commit. I'm down on the Cape, so if you know of any comparable places down my way that would be helpful as well.

I was quoted $400 for Formula One Pinnacle and $550 for Huper Optik, which are the two I thought would be best for my needs. Doing the MA legal 35%.

I did my 2016 M3

From the dealer to their shop for Full front XPel and 20% ceramic tints

Came out 99%, few little miss alignments on the XPel, impossible to see unless you are detailing the car yourself

I would definitely do with them again

I recommend Randy at 'Tint Works Boston' in Burlington MA. He does the Mercedes Benz of Burlington cars. I've had a e46 and a F30 done by him, no complaints, gets the job done right the first time and is a perfectionist. He also wraps roofs too!

Digging an old thread, so I got these quotes from tint king...does this sound right or too expensive?

. The price for the ATC film for your car would be $250. The better quality is Pinnacle/ceramic that is black film with no dyes and 53% heat reduction. For this film to tint your car it is $380. Last we have the best quality film which is Stratos. That, as well, is all black film with no dye and double the performance of Pinnacle. Stratos is 97% protection from ALL infrared energies and is $550 to tint your car.

I opted for the pinnacle from those guys a few months ago. I requested a quote via email and got those identical prices. Seems high to me, but after going through the process with them, it's worth it! They did a top notch job and quick! In and out in just over an hour

I didn't realize there was a Billerica in Massachusetts, named after Billericay in Essex. It immediately reminded me of an Ian Dury song.



Good evening I'm from essex
In case you couldn't tell
My given name is Dickie, I come from Billericay
And I'm doing very well
Had a love affair with Nina
In the back of my Cortina
A seasoned up hyena could not have been more obscener
She took me to the cleaners
And other misdemeanours
But I got right up between her
Rum and her Ribena
Well, you ask Joyce and Vicki
If candy-floss is sticky
I'm not a blinking thicky
I'm Billericay Dickie
And I'm doing very well
I bought a lot of brandy
When I was courting Sandy
Took eight to make her randy
And all I had was shandy
Another thing with Sandy
What often came in handy
Was passing her a 'Mandy'
She didn't half go bandy
So you ask Joyce and Vicki
If I ever took the mickey
I'm not a flipping thicky
I'm billeicay dickie
And I'm doing very well
I'd rondez-vouez with Janet
Quite near the Isle of Thanet
She looked more like a gannet
She wasn't half a prannet
Her mother tried to ban it
Her father helped me plan it
And when I captured Janet she bruised her pomegranet
So you ask Joyce and Vicki
If I ever shaped up tricky
I'm not a blooming thicky
I'm Billericay Dickie
And I'm doing very well
You should never hold a candle if you don't know where it's been
The jackpot is in the handle on a normal fruit machine
So you ask Joyce and Vicki
Who's their brickie
I'm not a common thicky
I'm Billericay Dickie
And I'm doing very well
I know a lovely old toe-rag obliging and noblesse
Kindly, charming shag from Shoeburyness

I went with the legal limit of 35% because the shop that does my yearly inspection would fail me for dark tint. The night visibility is unaffected IMO. Obviously it's a little bit darker, but not enough to make an impact. If you PM me your phone# I'm more then happy to send you some pics of the outside, and view from the inside if you're interested.

Used these guys back in 2012 to get tints for my last car. Did a damn good job. All single piece installs, no seams/creases/mars etc. Sold my car a few months back and the tints look as good as the day they were installed.

Highly recommend !

So after some research and diff quotes...Im going with Tint Works in Burlington. Randy use to be the guy from Tint Kings and open his own shop in Burlington. For Llumar CTX is $320

I use to go to Solar solutions, but I didnt want their Suntek products, but they also do amazing job.

I had 25% on my 2012 328 all around and at night it was a little brutal. Thinking about going 35% on my new(er) 2015 328. Anyone have a picture of 35% on a red f30?
