Default Window tint, grande prairie AB

I want my front windows and windshield tinted. A place in GP quoted me $225 for the fronts. He said the only way to do te windshield was to remove it. $200 for window take out and re-install and a additional $250 to tint it. So $775 total to tint my front windows and windshield Is this too high? Anyone know of some shops around gp Dawson creek that will do the fronts or for a cheaper price?

I'm aware of the laws and am not looking to get in a debate wether its legal or unsafe

I'm pretty sure it's against the law to have your front windows tinted in alberta.

I live in the states but I watched a tint guy do my windows this morning. He did five windows for 170. You don't have to remove any windows. No offense but your tint guy is a complete retard.

That looks good. Yea 3 different shops quoted $200 for just the fronts. He said if I dropped my truck off early in the morning I might have it back byte afternoon. I knew he was lying because all the other places said it would take less than a half hour

Ya it must just be expensive there. The guy that did mine took him about two and a half hours to do all five. I have a solid back window to.

I had my 20% stripped from front windows, 5% in its place, all back windows gone over to match 5% front, 40% front windshield with 5% sun strip about 10" down and it's perfect. I don't have inside pic but here is outside. Mine done in Brentwood, TN all for $275 using premium films.
