Window tint - what's the going rate?

[Hank3]

It's been almost seven years since I got my last car tinted. Looking to get my Speed3 tinted soon. Was curious to see how much y'all paid for your window tinting (barring huge hook-up deals ) so I can gauge the current rate. How about the brand of tint/warranty? The brands that come to mind from my previous experience is Solargard and Llumar. Also, debating if I should get the tint strip on the windshield or not. Yay or nay?

I ended up getting Johnsons Ray Guard for $220 for 7 windows. I believe its 5yr or lifetime warranty, I keep confusing the warranties on my clear bra and tint.

LLumar 7 windows for $300 OTD for me. Excellent job and lifetime warranty.

i went to a local tint guy. all my windows tinted with 20% 150 bucks. lifetime warranty

 

[Alexsered]

paid 150 with a lifetime warrenty and high quality tint. I wouldn't pay more than 200 for window tint.

7 windows? I'm assuming you guys are counting the little wedge ones behind the rear windows?

last week........7 windows @ $200.00. full piece on the rear. 20 %

the average price is 200 it seems. i've had tint done three times, all of which were between 200 and 250 IIRC.

I paid a little more than $150, another $35 for some clear bra on the back bumper to protect it from the dog getting in/out.

Thank you all for chiming in. Gives me a better idea on what to expect come Spring time.

$230 for 20% 3M BC, could not be happier.

I got mine for $190 with the Life Time Warranty from Elite Advantage Tinting here in Orange County, California. And that's $190 for all windows except the front windshield and any car. They come to your house and do it.

i was quoted $230 for any % in 3m, and i think for no extra charge they replace tint for free for life if you ever have to take it off due to police or inspection reasons

That would be a cool deal, too bad here in MI its no longer a fix it ticket and you would have to pay the fine regardless if you removed it or not.

I made the dealer cover mine, but the going rate would have been about $150 professionally done with warranty.

Of course it will vary from place to place, but I had mine done by someone on these forums locally for $120, all windows but the windshield at 35% tint. He used Suntek tint and I got a lifetime warranty with it.

 

[baopham04]

$100 and Lifetime Warranty. 5% on four windows, and 20% for hatch window.

 

[MikeHTally]

$170 for 15/15/5/15 and a 5 eyebrow.

 

[Mike240SX]

$510 for 5& all around and a "eyebrow" above the AS1 line for Formula One Pinnacle-grade non-metallic.

Wow, some expensive tint! The going rate around here is $160 for the entire vehicle.
