Best Window tinting in the UK?
Discussion
Thank you guys.
One name that keeps popping up is Pentagon. That name has indeed come up here again. My local branch is Bristol. I have been given a price today of £300 for the top of the range carbon ceramic tint on a large estate car. It's not the lowest price I could have been quoted, but I think I'll get what I pay for and it's guaranteed for life!
The car is brand new and I full intend to keep it until the wheels fall off, so I'll get my moneys worth from it.
I'll post my thoughts and pics when it's done :-)

The Mad Monk said " No don't bother".
Does that mean, don't bother because nobody give a hoot about my opinion, or don't post pics of the job? Not sure what is meant by "don't bother"??
I've got this topic saved ready to comment once the job is done latter this week, but if nobody cares about the quality of work coming from the Bristol Pentagon workshop, I will indeed not bother to leave my thoughts.
Please let me know, Thanks.

I don't think you can call a 2017 Toyota Avensis estate 2L diesel 145bhp "bongo" !
When I say tint, it's a dark tint I want, as you say, just about all cars have a tint, but it's the dark privacy glass I want.
My car is the business edition, number 2 in a class of 5.
All the next levels up have the dark tint I want, but they also come with stuff I simply don't need or want to pay for!
There is no wrong answer here, I want it for a very practical reason, so thats that. It's my car, I'm paying for it. If any haters here don't want me to have it, then please feel free to pay for the car for me, and I will gladly not have it fitted!

Well here we go, my first review, Bristol Pentagon!
We talked last week about fitting the most expensive tint to my new car, a £300 job. The guy seemed good on the phone and left me his mobile number.
I'm now ready to book the job so contacted him via the email on the website last night, no reply. I rang him today on his mobile, after a slightly difficult start as I'd forgotten the exact conversation I'd had with him last week, he said "I'll ring you back, I'm on the phone with somebody else right now", then cut me off. So that was nice !!
I waited 5 hours, nothing. I rang him back and he'd forgotten all about me and all my details. He told me he was still working (7.30pm) and how his other guy had a broken foot, then cut me off again !!
By this time I was well and truly p****d off, I text him to say I only wanted to book the job in, no big deal. He replied, I then turned down his offer to book it and said I'll go elsewhere!
So that's my review of Pentagon Bristol, the guy seems far to busy to talk to customers 'chomping at the bit' to give him money!
The stupid thing is, I'm really needing the car done as I've got a show to do in 2 weeks and I NEED the windows blacking out, so I'm not a time waster like some customers on the phone!

My next port of call was going to be a company in Swindon. Reading their website, it tells you how they 'do it properly'.
I had no idea that they need to remove glass and whole door panels :-0
I'm not sure I like the sound of that on a brand new car with under 300 miles on it :-(
The whole point of buying a brand new car is to get a totally un-molested car !
second thoughts now !!

Thank you for your detailed reply.
I'm not a difficult customer, but I do demand 'service', I think that's fair if I'm going to pay for a top line job at a top price. Customer service in the UK these days is is a dying art, let alown a good quality job.
I can however see where you are coming from, and I have taken all your comments on board.
Due to all the different ways of doing the job and the fact that it would be so easy to send my new car to the wrong workshop, I have decided NOT TO TINT!
I think it's the safer option. I will have a black curtain made up, and just hang that around the windows while the car is parked and loaded.
Many thanks for everybody's help here on this matter.
All the best,
Rob.
