best window tint business?

So go to a tint place that can tell you the film that they're installing.
But then, if you must have it done before delivery, you'll just have to accept that you'll pay double for the privilege.

the only reason to get window tinting pre-delivery is if you're doing novated lease. most accessories are not claimable under most novated lease agreement unless they're included in the purchase price, pre-delivery...

but again, you'll have to weigh the benefit of having charged double for windows tinting vs the tax advantage of salary sacrifice scheme associated with novated lease, to some it may not matter but to others it may be better off to pay out of pocket post delivery.

if you're not doing any novated lease, forget about getting window tint pre-delivery they're just not worth it at all, do it afterwards will save you heaps and heaps of money. Tint-a-car charges about $299 for a whole car, could be less if the car already have rear privacy window and you're not fuss on having the tint matched all around and do just the fronts.

Ok, but i was hoping to do it prior to delivery...
I've been quoted $400.00 from tintacar Keilor, but they dont state what VLT,UVA+B,% and so forth...I need to know what im getting in regards to protection and quality..

Exactly.

Anything over $200 bucks and your getting bent over.

My dealer who gave me a great deal on the car, quoted me $595 for a window tint. Its hard hearing that and not almost getting offended!!

Our dealer did what?! For just the front two windows?
That's almost comical!
The Ming-mole didn't even try to sell me anything. I didn't even have to listen to her speech. I was telling them about 3M PPF and they decided to just not even bother!

I hate the Ming-Mole!!

I did get stung though when I bought my MY03 WRX.. It was tints and "only" $1000 for the paint protection.

Then you find/work out that

a) As if the paint on a new car is going to fade in the next <10 years anyway!!
b) from the paint.panel shops I have asked - It does jack all for the money anyway!!

(I know I got a bird dropping stain that never came off.. I wanted good paint not an expensive insurance policy!!)

What are peoples thoughts on Tint-a-cars Octane VS Midnight Express?

I've got a white GTI coming and want to get as black and matte a look for the windows as the law will allow.

That's an absolute rip off, I don't care what type of film it is, at the end of the day it's just window tint so best to keep it simple.
I spoke to a lady at Denlo during the week, I was quoted $395. I must say though she was very friendly over the phone and asked how my car was going even though I didn't purchase from them

I'm on a novated lease & I just told my lease company I wanted my windows tinted by the company of my choice. They asked for a written quote & after I forwarded the quote, they sent me a cheque made out to the tint guy. Saved me about $200 on what the dealer wanted & got it pretax as well. Only downside is you pay it off over the life of the lease.

So like, do you think $395 is a good price?

No I don't, but remember I got mine for $90 so $395 is way too much
