    Hey,

    Does anyone have a good tint shop they would recommend in the Long Beach, South Bay, or North OC areas?... Thanks in advance.

    there is a nice thread on tinting somewhere here. Yes there is one in Huntinton beach that people are happy with. I went to one in gardena area, nice clean work they did, I still question the operation/practice.

    I took mine to TW Tint in Santa Ana. The owner, Leo, is a great guy and they did an amazing job on mine. Had a total of 10 windows done on my car. He also does vinyl wrapping and taillight vinyl application also.

    Elite Window Tint. They also do some work by appointment at the Sunny Hills Car Wash in Fullerton.

    I agree, and they're mobile. In fact, they just came out to tint my windshield with AirBlue yesterday. Courtesy, on time, and finished the job in time promised.

    Still in the curing phase right now, so it was a bit wavy and streaky when I drove in. Parked it outside in the sun for 5 hours to let it cure. Just checked it again, and the optics are clean and clear. Might be tempted to finish the rest of the car.

    Mine was done there too. I'm happy with the price, overall experience and quality of Tint Job.

    I tried to look up Elite Window Tinting on Yelp and I found these:

    100 W Bastanchury Rd
    Fullerton, CA 92835
    (714) 771-0797

    4922 E Valencia Dr
    Orange, CA 92869
    (714) 998-7797

    Does either of those sound right?

    The Fullerton address sounds correct. Honestly, I just called them and scheduled a mobile appointment. They came out to my place of work, so I didn't have to make time to go out there.
