| - Great service, honest workers, but a bit pricy.
Since I have a e92 (3 series coupe), there is something called the "dot matrix" which exists on the back of my windshield. This makes it extremely difficult for a shop to tint the back windshield as the tint doesn't stick properly to this material. Reading online, I saw that Auto-Links had a good reputation tinting my type of car, so I decided to go here.
The service was good, but the work took about 4 hours to complete. I just took a walk around the area, spend a few hours at Tim Hortons and Wendy's, and even did a little shopping at Factory Direct while I waited. When I got back and saw my car tinted, I absolutely loved it. The tint was a perfect addition to give my car a nice sleek look.
John (the owner) saw that I was going for the "all black" look on my car, and even gave me some decals to cover up the BMW emblem to give it a black and white look (for free!). Sweet!
My only gripe was the price - it was almost 2x more expensive than any other traditional tint shop. Upon closer inspection of the tint a few weeks/months later, I can see a few spots where dust got it between the window and film. Some are a bit obvious, and some are not really noticeable. The shop is fairly far from where I live so I didn't bother going back to have them take a look.
Overall, the service was good, John and his team knew what they were doing, and my car looks much better now with the tints (and it protects me from the hot sun as well!). I would recommend this tint shop to anyone with a BMW and the dot matrix issue, but if you don't have that, perhaps look at alternative to save a few bucks (unless Auto-Links is willing to price match the difference in cost).
