Default Window tinting in Roanoke

I know a guy in Lynchburg that does great tinting.. quality and price...

However, I am looking for the same in Roanoke since I'm pretty much there 5+ days a week.

I'm up for shops or individuals doing it... Just need good quality at a decent price. I don't want to leave my vehicle anywhere that I feel shit can be stolen or with anyone who goes by their initials...

Not Tim's.. that's for sure.

He's very hit or miss, and I speak from personal experience. My own car, my girlfriends car, and a friends car are all starting to suffer from purple fade nearly two years later. I was told he was using Llumar film, but that is obviously not the case. In his defense, none of us have taken the cars back and asked him to re-do it, but I'm very hesitant to go tell someone I think they did a shitty job on my car and ask them to re-do it. That's like "Hey man.. this steak fucking sucks! Can you take it back to the back and have them make me another?" Fuck no. You won't want that steak!

I'd like my car to be fixed... but I'm afraid to have him rip the tint off the back quite frankly. Those defrost strips are very expensive and very sensitive. Last thing I want is to be held responsible for something someone else fucks up.

...also in his defense, I have seen several cars that Tim tinted that still look great. He did, however, do shit quality work on three of our cars. Period. I've heard the same from a few others too.

I was told that Sun Solutions off Orange ave does good work. Haven't seen any work done by them but have heard from several people that they take care of their customers.

That's who I was talking about... I really think I'll have a hard time finding someone to do the quality that he does... especially for the price... but I was hoping for something in roanoke.
