Tint Shop in St. Louis

We recently bought a new Toyota Matrix that came with aftermarket window tinting. I'm liking it so much that I'm wanting to get Bowser's windows tinted also. Does any have a good tint shop to recommend in St. Louis, as well as a tint level to get, or know the limits of tinting in MO?

I had my window tint done at Quality Glass Tinting, Inc. on Manchester Road - and I was really pleased with their work. I had it done last August and have had no problems with it - it cost me $235.

I just got my windows done at tintcrafters in hazelwood. I paid a little more than the usual price($275) because I had to talk the guy into doing the brow on my windshield which comes down pretty far, and to tind the front windows darker than the legal 35%. I have 5% tint all the way around, which is limo, so...you cant see in with my windows up. Way more light comes in from my sunroof...but i am gonna line it with vinyl to fix that problem. So if you ever see a yellow mini with an all black top(including windows) with 18" wheels(and it has a little snarl too)thats me, and i dont have any bubbles and it looks good, and this is not the first car i have had tinted, so I know they really did a good job.

Is it your MINI that I just passed parked on Macklind, just south of the 3rd District Police Station? Saw one just like you described.

I have another vote towards Quality on Manchester. I have had them do three cars now. (including one that someone else screwed up) They do good work.

Laclede,

I had mine done at Autotint House in Maryland Heights close to Riverport. Telephone 314-770-1243. He did a great job for $180 plus tax. I went with the 35% tint on rear sides & back. Had it done a year ago still looks good. You've seen Louie.
