Default Window Tinting in WI

Well, looks like it has been a while since a window tinting thread was made so why not.. Any new shops out there that aren't ridiculously expensive for our cars? I found a few shops in Milwaukee (from craigslist) that do it for under $150 but there isn't much info or reviews on them so I'm a little hesitant to bring my car there. Every place in GB charges $245+ which I think is pretty crazy..but then again, I don't know if that back window is as difficult as every place in GB tells me it is.

Thanks guys.

I'd like to know this as well, can't have a black car without tint ha. I would stay away from the places charging $245, I've heard most places charge 25-50 a window, so on the high side that's $145+ for just the back hatch. I could see it being a little hard, but it's not like they have to do it with the hatch closed so it can't be that bad.

Yea, it's crazy how pricing differs throughout WI. I saw an ad on craigslist today for a tinting shop in Wausau. They charge $180 which is pretty reasonable but once again, no reviews..

I think there's a few place in la crosse that do it but I have no idea on price i haven't looked for my car yet, maybe someday i will. I suppose its quite a haul though from GB area, you would waste more in gas than its worth haha.

Thanks for the info! I've decided just to get the tinting done in Milwaukee. For $125, I don't mind driving an hour and a half...I'm still saving $100 even with gas expense.

Milwaukee Auto Sound did mine for 115$. You just have to negotiate with the shops a little bit...

I went in and said " Tint Boys will do it for $125" And they went $115.

Milwaukee Auto Sound? Hmm, never heard of them but I'll look them up. $115-$125 is seriously a steal compared to prices up here... Thanks

Yeah man, really anywhere in the Milwaukee area will do it for around that price. That 115$ I payed was also for my other car, 4 windows and the rear glass. We only have 2 and the rear in the F body so maybe they'd go 100$ even lol.

I'm gonna break their ***** when I take my Camaro to get tinted haha

Windows are tinted! Drove down to "An Untouchable Enterprise" in Milwaukee. His name was Joe. Very cool guy and did an excellent job for only $125.

I do have t-tops but I chose not to get them tinted. They are tinted a little darker from the factory then the other windows anyway.
