Title: Window tinting near Southampton.
Post by: Mandy on August 01, 2010, 05:35:25 pm

Can anyone recommend anywhere in, or near Southampton for car window tinting?

Closest one to me that I know of is South Coast Tints, other than that I don't know of anywhere else.

Does £220 sound like a reasonable price for all round tints on a mk4 golf?

Yes, tell Pat that i sent you, and he will :wink:

Tell him you have the same car as me, so he knows roughly what needs doing as he's looked at mine before.

Mandy is it South Coast Tints that operate from the Petrol Station along the Eastern Road in Portsmouth?  I used to quite frequently see a guy in there, has a sign written van too.

Steve- is Pat mobile or will I have to go to him?

Post by: Saint Steve on August 01, 2010, 09:23:29 pm

He is mobile, but its not Pat that does the tinting, he's in charge of day to day running of Johnson films. He reports to the owner  :wink: Which he also knows me, as he lives just behind my house :signLOL:

It would be done in their workshop in hamble.

Got this sorted now, booked in with South Coast Tints in the end.

Managed to get 40% discount after a bit of haggling (and advantage taking!), so really pleased with myself.  :pomppomp:

Thanks anyway Steve.  :happy2:
