Window Tint Shop Rec: Exton/West Chester (PA) Areas

Morning all. I'm looking to get my front two windows tinted to match the factory tint on the back and would love any shop recommendations that the community could provide.

Located in Western Chester County, PA in the Exton/West Chester areas.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! That pricing sounds on par with my past experiences with previous vehicles. The only thing keeping me from going to the shop I used before is distance, work schedule and the fact that I've had two kids since I last got tint done. Can't afford to be down a car these days lol.

Where in Wa you did it and what was the price? Did they install any felt tape so tint does not get scratched or this is not needed on X5? Had this issue with e90 when tint got scratched as soon as I rolled down a window.

Opaque Auto Works in West Chester did both of our cars including my F15 to match the rears. Nabil does great work.

Thank you for the rec! I'll check them out!

I've used Berardi's down 202 South (near Painters Crossing) in the past but I've moved since last getting work done there and it's now a bit far.

My E90 was done by Berardi's actually when I used to work down the road from there. Small world.

Thanks again for the recommendation! I ended up going with Opaque and Nabil did an excellent job tint matching my front windows to the stock tint on the back.

For anyone in the West Chester, PA area, I HIGHLY recommend Opaque Auto Works and Nabil (owner).
