Same here, they all want £100 to do two windows, must be a minimum price in case they only do one job a day :shock:

Mine was fitted with clear security film, when I went to collect it I was talking to the guy and he said there was a clamp down at the moment on front window tints, with opacity tests carried out at the roadside :x My transits just got the standard vision pack light tint and no aircon :(

So was that including the quarters? Cos the main window is larger than the quarter. How do they work out their prices?

most tinters price jobs on how hard it is do do them fred

doing tints is murder on some vehicles cos quarter windows on some vans are sealed

and there murder to cut with out leaving small gaps and TBH most cheap tinters wont take the time to remove a window or try and cut it to fit were most good guys will take the time

and there worth every penny, then you have to take the types of film they use in to account as not all films are as good as they claim to be, and a good tinter will also give a life time guarantee
