DO NOT GO TO MIDWEST TINT IN IN I THINK CHICAGO RIDGE/OAK LAWN AREA. THERE OVER ON SOUTHWEST HIGHWAY. THEY HAD TO RE-DO MY WINDOWS BECAUSE THE **** **** JOB THEY DID WITH THE EDGES AND THEN INSTEAD OF DOING IT OVER THEY FILLED IN THE GAP WITH BLACK PAINT. SO UNLESS YOU WANT A GHETTO ***, PAINT FILL JOB GO THERE. OTHERWISE I RECOMEND PRICESSION TINT IN ORLAND PARK.


Ok, im done venting, lol.

I don't live far from that place. One friend went there and they did a crap job, they cut the tint too short. I go to Ziebart.

Tint works in libertyville, my friends shop, he does good work, not just saying that. He did all my cars, my caddy right now is rocking 15% all around and 35% on the whole windsheild, no hairs in it and nicely cut. He does good work, but then again I don't know where you live so it might be a drive.
