| - For my first anniversary with the boyfriend, I decided to get his windows tinted on his Jeep. After much deliberation and a few hours of research I decided to go with Auto-Links, a company that seems to be highly regarded among car enthusiasts in East GTA.
We arrived for our appointment on a Friday afternoon a bit early and were told that they were running 20-30 minutes behind schedule. The delay ended up being more like an hour, but when we did arrive, one of the guys came out to check out the vehicle and discuss with my boyfriend what he wanted. I was pushing for the whole car (double the cost) but he really only felt the front two windows needed to be done and the Auto-Links guy agreed with him.
Once they took his car keys, we went for a walk and checked out a nearby Canada Computers shop and then came back after about half an hour to find his car almost done! Two front windows with Pinnacle Formula 1 Tint took no time at all but we did get to see the installation process. One thing worth of note is that they had already put on the passenger side when we arrived. I guess they weren't happy with it because they took the tint off and cut a brand new piece and installed it. Just goes to show that this is a place where they care about QUALITY. Once they were done, they came out, went over a few things about care and maintenance with us and we were ready to go.
My boyfriend opted for 30 to try and match the stock tint on the rest of his car and it really looks great. I'll post any updates on the tint if I have them later on but so far, its curing fine and looks perfect.
John and his staff were very friendly and willing to answer any questions we had. I emailed back and forth with John about what options I had for tinting my boyfriend's car and he was happy to provide me with multiple quotes for different tints and amounts of tint. You do have to call to make an appointment and the guy on the phone was just as forthcoming with information. As well, we were early and ended up waiting around but they have a couch and a tv in the sitting room so you can hang out there while you wait.
We did meet a guy at the shop who said he's had FIVE cars done by John and his crew - again, just goes to show that this is a quality shop. I did a lot of research before I bought and if you're doing the same, look no further. I was a noob at this kind of stuff before and John made it a really easy and painless process.
