I too am looking for a good tint deal. Prices sure have gone up quite a bit, since the last time I got tinted, several years back. For a Mazda3 hatch, got quoted $180. That was at some place on Canton Rd, almost across from Advance Auto Parts. The place was a little hole in the wall, but they like everyone else said they warranty for lifetime.

Went to some other place, in the Meineke center on Canton Rd. Some audio shop. They said aroudn $220. $50 deposit, and appt only. They say they call some guy in from Buckhead and he'll remove the paneling to get the tint in. And of course lifetime warranty.

My guess is you, like i, need to call around and see whats out there. There will be good and bad experiences everywhere. Cant please all customers. But one thing to consider. If it starts to bubble, do you wanna drive an hour or so to get it fixed? And also want to make sure the place looks like they will honor their warranty.
