<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(pirus_2005 @ May 30 2006, 02:33 PM) [snapback]262865[/snapback]</div> Hiya In my neighborhood there's an upholstery place on the corner of Washington Blvd and Wilson Blvd behind the Goodyear called "Sure-Fit". I'm not certain that they do tinting, but I've seen more than half a dozen Prius's go in there for leather, and they looked like they did a REALLY nice job. Most Prii I've seen there had dealer tags on them, so I'm sure they know what they're doing when it comes to working on Prii ... They also do custom sunroofs - hmm.... Dave

I just checked their website and it doesn't list tint. Anyone else in Northern VA have a good tint shop? I found one in Alexandria but they have 3 complaints with the BBB in the last year. I'm willing to drive as far as Winchester.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(HokieHybrid @ Jun 15 2006, 01:57 PM) [snapback]271717[/snapback]</div> I travelled from Woodbridge to Lynchburg for my window tinting! Didn't know of anyone having a good experience in any particular tint shop close by, and wanted to find someone who had tinted a Prius. Got a referral from fellow PC member Unruhly, called and made an appointment, and I'm happy with the results. It's a long haul, but the car was very, very new and I thought the trip down and back would give us a chance to bond. And we did. Auto Trim Design of Lynchburg
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(GreenGene @ Jun 15 2006, 02:56 PM) [snapback]271761[/snapback]</div> How long did it take and what was the cost? I go through Lynchburg frequently and my windows are still naked! Thanks in advance.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Skwyre7 @ Jun 15 2006, 03:58 PM) [snapback]271794[/snapback]</div> The work took a lot less time than the drive down and back! The estimate was 3 hours - I was out in less than 2-and-a-half. The job cost $180 - at the time, there was a discount coupon on their website. I like the job they did. My only other experience with getting windows tinted was on a '98 Malibu, done at a very local tint shop, and it wasn't a good job. This looks sharp, and is starting to make a big difference now that warmer weather has arrived. The installer is Joseph Wheaton - good guy, and good work. The website has his email address, if you have any questions about the products they carry, scheduling the work, etc.
They charged under $200.00. Use the link above that GreenGene provided. You'll find the phone number and a $10 off coupon on their web site. It took about 3 hours. It could have been quicker, but I told 'em up front I was in no hurry and I BS'd with 'em while they were doing the work.
