Hey all, I live in Phoenixville and work in Exton, PA. I'm looking for recommendations for a reputable shop for window tinting somewhere in either the Phoenixville or Exton areas. Looking only for a high-quality, honest shop, no bargain-basement shady business. Let me know if you have any recommendations....thanks!

Go to Shades of Grey. They're in the N.E. It's a twenty minute drive down 476 E from you and worth every penny. They'll have you out the door in about two hours. Price was about $205.00 for my sun roof, rear, and sides with 15%. Lifetime warranty for any defects. They're at the auto show every year and have been in business for about eight-ten years.

Thanks for the input. This is the 3rd time I've heard Shades of Grey vouched for, so I'm thinking that's where I'll go.

Silly question, but is their parking lot accessible for low ground clearance cars?

while I can vouch for SOG as being a great shop (I got my MS3 tinted there), whoever said they are 20mins from Exton is mistaken---they are a good 45min out at least. That isn't to say that they aren't worth it because they are. Just saying, 20mins ain't happening..

Thanks for all the input guys. I'm into SOG for a free quote. Location isn't too bad...should be about 30 minutes from where I live.

Do you guys have any experience having tint installed in cooler weather? A coworker said it's best to get it done when it's warm/hot out, then let the car sit out for a while in the heat to help the tint film set up. I really don't know one way or another.

Robert.Colianni · 10-12-2011, 01:41 PM

I got from West Chester to S.o.G. in under 30 min., guys.
Can't give you any word on cold weather. Mine was done in August and I didn't drive the ar for a week to let everything set without crazy temperature changes.
P.S. I said $205. I forgot that the guy liked my Maxima so much that he did $190. It's that sort of plac. They like us. We like them.

Another vote for Shades.

there is no such thing as 476 E, and it is not possible to drive from West Chester to Feasterville in under 30 minutes. Go get your watch fixed and update your GPS lol

Yeah, I meant 276 E. Don't know why I said 476. Trust me, though, it's really not that hard to hit 202 and start flying during work hours with nobody on the road. It's a high wall straightaway.

Colberts car care in exton is where I got mine done. Everything except windshield for under 150. They also guarantee the tint for life.
