I'd just look for a shop that has a lifetime warranty against bubbling, fading, discoloration, or any other damage. You're probably looking at spending 160 max to get all three windows tinted. I'd say go to a shop that just looks nice and that's been in business for a long time (10 years or more). They'll likely be booked for at least 2 or 3 days if they're a good shop.

Here is a link to one of the places I checked out that has been doing business for a while. I was going to get my windows tinted by them for my birthday last year but I was moving and they're weren't able to schedule me in before I moved. They're in Riverside. I don't know exactly how far away that is from you. Isn't Anaheim Hills near Corona. Anyway, the guy gave me a quote for I believe $155.

I highly recommend A-Teriffic Tint in Mission Viejo. They're fast, efficient, professional and have a lifetime warrenty. They've done 2 of my TA's and my wife's Mercedes coupe. All 3 have 5% on the rears and whatever level they put on the sides that's "just passable". They did a great job, especially on the Benz, which has a bunch of odd windows.
