Tint Guy

Does anyone know of a good tint guy I can use that is in the Oceanside/Carlsbad/Vista area? I want some tinting done on my wife's Vibe. I am getting tired of it getting so hot in there, and one of these days we are going to be carting a kid around in the back of that thing, so I am going to want a VERY dark tint in the rear. Don't want the cheap **** that turns purple after awhile, and don't want some place that does an crappy job where I am going to find bubbles. If it is a problem with posting non-sponsers in an open forum, please PM me. Also, if you know general pricing for that shop, please PM that.
Thanks!

are you for real? I have always been wary of the quality of work of anything on base, car or otherwise.

take the old tint off yourself. I have always found it more expensive to get **** done on base than out in town. just find someone who offers the tint with a lifetime warranty.

yeah they were, pretty much the same. On my old lt1 i used a shop in La mesa area and they did a decent job but it took the bubbles about 3 weeks to dissapear. When i used mr tint it was a perfect job. I forget exactly the price i paid since it was more than a year ago. I will be going up there probably next week to tint my back window because i replaced my hatch
