window tinting

so i've lived in so cal for 3 yrs now and can never seem to get a clear answer from people locally (irvine) that i have asked. so my question is, where is a good shop to go to get window tinting done? meaning they do a great job, offer a warranty and have had very few problems. i had window tint done on my last car and after 7 yrs of having it the tint faded slightly but never bubbled. thanks guys!

walk in ask what brand is your tint if u dont get an answer in 5 seconds walk out.

if your worried about bubbling and peeling. bubbling is generally all install but a better quality tint will help. peeling is all tint. so cheap bullshit need not apply

i know that. i'm more worried about bubbling due to it being more install related. and obviously if people do really good install jobs they aren't going to use like a dirt cheap tint that will peel
