What's the best car tint brand and color?

Stylewise, the windshield is considered a different entity from the other panes of glass on your vehicle, so yes, having it in a different shade (e.g. neutral) is acceptable.

In other markets, regulations do limit tinting to only the rear side windows and back glass, so that kind of look is also considered as normal/acceptable.

Due to the number of cars that have their cars tinted daily, its best to make an appointment and make sure to be punctual to ensure less waiting time.

As for other services ie. headlight cleaning, h.i.d. lights, horns, alarms and sound system, walk in-will do the job.

Mr. Mirpuri, didn't know you also posted here. Great to have you here!!! I've been recommending many tsikoteers to your shop. Many thanks for the H.i.d. and tint that was installed on our 2007 crv. This has been our fifth vehicle worked on by this company and the "hard to find" great service always remains unchanged.

sa dealer ng solargard in santolan, superb service nila

they do one piece tint even on curvy and large windows.. they have a tint room too!

mines a mb vito l, malaki windshield and medyo curvy, dinala ko sa banawe, hay sus! palpak lahat, dalawang shops na dinalan ko...

the first shop that i went, they said two piece lang ang pwede sa ganun windshied , kaso yun 2 piece naging 3 piece!

'di kasi nila masara yun edges ng windshield kesa curvy daw mashado, it took them 2 hours na kapalpakan and 2 beses pa nila ginawa palpak pa din!

the 2nd shop kaya daw nila 1pc, kaya go na ko, they stripped off the tint, installed the new tint, alas! palpak pa din! madami alikabok, puro guhit/gasgas yun tint kakahagod and 'di talaga nila masara yun gilid.. kesho yun culprit is the black dots around the window! again it took them 2 hours to install it.. sa inis ko, pagkauwi tinanggal ko yun tint!

it cost me 4k for the two shops

then i had an idea lang na suntok talaga sa buwan na why not dalin ko sa santolan? medyo malayo kasi makati for me...

ayun! it took them only less than 30 minutes to install a 1pc tint with zero dust and scratch sa windshield, and nasara nila yun edges ng tint

iba kasi method nila of installing tints, instead of spraying water with shampoo, baby powder lang ginagamit nila and head gun, wala na hagod-hagod pa...

bariotik talaga gumagawa sa banawe

very affordable pa rates nila, mas mura pa nga sila sa banawe and you are very sure na solargard ikakabit sa inyo

highly recommended talaga sila!

sorry for the OT mga sirs ha, nakakadala lang kasi sa banawe, to think na kilalang shops dinalan ko sa banawe, kaso palapak pa din

Sir toybeats,

Whats the name of the solarguard dealer in Snatolan? Where are they in Santolan? And if you don't mind how much did it cost?

I also want to have my front windshield tinted. Its also a van with a big windshield.

How does solarguard compare to 3M visibility and heat rejection wise?

VKOOL
If you're taking Ortigas from EDSA going QC left turn ka on Santolan. Nasa left side sila before the bridge.
Tapat sya ng Concept 1.
Kahelera ng dating shop ni Speedy.
Dating Dawg Audio yata pwesto nila.
