(NYC/Long Island) Tint Shop reco?!?

Looking for a reasonably priced and decent tint shop to take care of the Clubman. Anybody can recommend one in the 5 boroughs or Long Island? Westchester is ok also.

Thanks!

i would recommend East Coast Customs on bronx river ave in the bronx. I've had other work done there and there are top notch. I never had tints done but have seen many high end vehicles they have done that came out superb. The price is reasonable and they have a lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling, and discoloration. If you do decide to go there, let them know "myhome" sent you. they might give you a better price.

Thanks for that ... just called them and they qouted me $120 which is a great price ... almost too cheap

Let's see if anyone else cares to chime in with more recommendations.

haven't gone to East Coast Customs yet, but I plan to.
the tint is really because I have a newborn and no matter what window shades i install they still let the sun in through the cracks on her ... but yeah, I just need some time to run out and do this.

The Art of Tint guy's name gets mentioned a lot but I have a feeling pricewise he is going to be a lot.

Spoke to him as well ... $250 with lifetime guarantee.

Not bad either, I was expecting a lot more considering the caliber cars he works on.

Looks like prices are down all over.

Thanks everyone so far ... I won't get around to do this until next week, so if anyone has any other recos, please do chime in!

We work exclusively with Joe at TheTintShopInc.com - located on Northern Blvd in Manhasset. He does incredible work and backs everything up with a lifetime guarantee as well. The Clubman should run you about $180.

Any questions - let me know!

thanks Erik! Spoke to Joe and looks like he might just be the guy to do this.
