Newish F-31 needs tint. Who do you recommend?
I've used Alta Mere previously.
Thanks

I have heard and read great reviews for Tritek.

I am going to make an appointment with them next week. I spent last summer roasting and won’t do that again this summer.

I can vouch for tritek. It’s next to the old jotech shop location. I’m friends with the owner so it may seem a little bias but they do an awesome job.

If Arlington is more convenient than north Dallas check out Glacier Tint.

Any reason for not wanting to go back to Alta Mere?

I've heard good things about Alta Mere (North Richland Hills), Tritek (Garland), and Tint World (The Colony).

Been busy at work and didn’t make the tint appointment.

Are the Alta Mere shops independently owned? I saw an Alta Mere shop in Plano and went in for a quote but had a weird feeling about the place.

I did call Tint World in The Colony and asked a few questions.

I need to get it done before it gets too hot n

Had the tint done at Tritek. I went with Wincos. 30% on sides/back. 70% on front windshield/sunroof.

How much did it cost, if you don't mind me asking? What made you choose Tritek over others?

$399 for sides, back and sunroof. $200 for the windshield.

I opted for the Wincos due to the high IR rejection. They have four levels of tint and each one is $100 lower. Ceramic was $299 and a Premium at $199. The lowest was $149.

I visited other shops and for me Tritek spoke more about the install process that anyone else. I believe once you settle on the tint brand it’s up to the installer to make it look good.

They did a great job.

Thanks. I want to get a clear bra and I was thinking I could get retinted at the same time so just wanted a ball park.
