Recommendations for a Tint Shop?

With the summer heat coming, I am looking to have my windows tinted. I'm not really that knowledgeable on window tinting, but I have been doing some research on the different types and what not.

Does anyone have some recommendations for a quality tint shop in the Atlanta area? I want to go somewhere that will do a professional job with quality materials that will last.

I live in Macon and work in Warner Robins, but I'm not sure if I would trust any local tint shops to do a good job. So I was thinking I would just go up to ATL for a day and get it done. If anyone happens to know of a quality place in the middle GA area, I would also be willing to check them out.

TIA

I use a guy about 45 mins north of Atlanta. He's done about 15 of my personal cars and maybe another 15 of my friends and family.

I used Oasis in Lawrenceville, GA. They were very professional, quick and really did a flawless job on both of our Fits.

Call Atlanta Tint & Detail on Buford Hwy a mile or two north of I-285. They've been around since the '80's and have done several cars for me.

I ended up going with Custom Sun Control in Marietta. They received several recommendations and weren't to far out of my way. They use formula one tint which carries a nationwide lifetime warranty, good at any formula one authorized installer.

Went with 35% ceramic 9 windows and they did a really good job. Presented themselves very professionally in all my communications. The tint looks great, goes all the way to the edge of the glass. I can't see any part of the windows that isn't tinted.

Thanks for the help everyone!

Great to hear. Would love to see the car in person if you can make it out to Manhattan Pizza on Sunday.

$390 + tax. Came out to about $415 OTD. The metallic-based tint was quoted at $350.

I can tell a big difference getting into my car after it's been baking in the sun all day. Instead of it being like sitting in a pizza oven, now it is just warm and the AC has no trouble cooling it off quickly.

@MarkyMark:
I'd love to come see what others have done with their Fits, but I'm helping a friend move this weekend so I won't be able to make it. Hopefully next time. I really want to see some Clazzios or Coverking seat covers in person to help me decide what I want.
