Reputable shop on Eastside for window film?

Hi folks. Would appreciate a good recommendation for a shop here on the Eastside in the Redmond, Bellevue or Issaquah area. Looking for a quality shop that does top notch work. I know NWAS is up north and Metropolitan Detail is over in Seattle but hoping for something closer.

Thanks

Metropolitan Detail is in Bellevue on Bel-Red.

Accutint sucks. Call John at Metropolitan Detail.

Good grief... /smack head

I should have just looked closer at their site. All I saw was "Seattle's Premier Auto Salon" and assumed it was in Seattle.

Thanks for pointing out my blunder.

Thanks everyone!

Thank you all for the recommendations. I dropped my car off with John & Benjamin of Metropolitan Detail this morning. Getting a tint, detail and full frontal clearbra done.

Did they dissemble the door panels to get the tint down low enough? Just curious, I have seen it done nicely, both ways.

I've had tints and clear bras done on my Cayenne TT, 997TT and a CTS-V all done at Accutint and thought they did a great job on them all. I had some paint work done on my Cayenne and Accutint sent it back to the paint shop 3 times b/c they didn't think it was good enough to clear bra over it.

Sorry to bring this old thread back, but need to tint the 2 front windows on my RX350.

Who is the latest and greatest installer in Seattle/Bellevue and North/South surrounding areas?

I guess I'm looking for the shop who can do a good job w/o removing the door panels, as I've heard some mixed reviews on taking that approach.

Thanks in advance!

Mr. Tint & Sun in Bellevue and Advance Tint in Renton. Mr. Tint & Sun is going to be more than Advance Tint though, but both shops do really good work.

Thanks, found some more threads here by searching for "tint" and few recommended shops came up, called around and so far only Metropolitan uses 3M tint film. I'm not saying other brands aren't good, as this will be first time investing in tint. But I've heard good things about 3M brands tint films.

BTW, thanks for the quote John!

Metropolitan does tinting again? Oh yay! Yeah, John and Ben will take care of your car. Ben does really amazing work!

The guys @ Metropolitan are outstanding with tint work.
I've had several cars tinted over the years and they are by far the best - highly recommended!
