Default Any tint places who use 1 sheet for rear window in NW Chicago burbs?

A lot of people have been saying that most places have to use two sheets to cover the large rear window but I know that there are places that can do it in one. Anyone have any recommendations or places to avoid in the north west suburbs of Chicago? Hoping for somewhere that provides a warranty and does a nice job with the dot matrix.

ive had a few cars tinted by them and it was good. however they charge out the *** for the rear window so i usually take it to someone else. also they wont tint darker then the law permits.

A meber on MFBA used to work at the Ziebart in Franklin Park on Manheim Rd.. He did my Toyota and Trans Am.. They use good tint, and the guy did I would say 95% of all the cars from MFBA....

I had an issue on the Trans Am and they took care of it for me no questions asked

and yes they use 1 piece for the back window

Do they use Vinyl over the dot matrix or tint over it?

I had my Buick Regal tinted by him and he did a phenominal job. I couldn't be more happy. I've had it on my car for over 3 years and they look like the day he put them on. Even with my german shepherd attacking them and drooling all over they still look brand new. Also I think the rear window is one piece cause I cannot find any lines, anywhere.

I used to be the service manager there and when I left my step brother known as Chased on the forums took over, but since left. They do great work and carry a lifetime warranty. Jim is still the store manager and Neal is still doing the tint which are friends of ours.

The store is located in Franklin Park.

3020 Mannheim Rd ( near Grand Ave. )
Franklin Park, IL 60131
(847) 455-2900

I have also had a few cars done at Mid America in Schaumburg and been very happy with their work.

Just talked to Jim a couple days ago and he said they wont do Vinyl over the dot matrix and they have 26%/15%/5%.

Said it would be $179 for side and hatch windows and extra $125 for removing the tint thats already on there.
