I want to have a car tinted. Small economy car, 4 windows and back. I'm giving this car to my son and he may have it a very long time so want something that will last indefinitely. Trying to avoid the horrid bubbling, fading etc.
I'm not concerned with how dark it is, Lighter is better (for visibility/safety as he's a brand new driver). I'm more concerned with heat and UV/IR reflection. Just want to protect the interior and keep it cool if it suddenly starts to have spend time ungaraged for the first time in it's existence.
The few quotes I got were a shock. I 'thought' a quality tint job on a small car could be had for $200. I guess I'm wrong about that? Last quote was $225 for the cheapest stuff they had and went all the way up to $700.
I'm a little hesitant to try any of the Groupon deals though they appear to get good ratings. :noiidea:
Basically, I know nothing about it so just trying to determine what is realistic and looking for any first hand experience recs (or places to avoid).
Thanks.
