Default Tint shop in south king?

I called a place that I had used before but they mentioned the dots at the top of the rear window and said that there might be issues. Sounds like they don't do vinyl/paint or any of the other mitigating methods I've seen mentioned on CF.

Anybody know of a shop that they like or know has done a lot of corvettes? Preferably they can tint over the dots without issue, but I'm open to the vinyl option as well.

I saw someone mention Darkside off Lake City Way, but would prefer to stay in the south around kent-tacoma. I will drive for quality though, anyone else used these guys?

Mr Tint and Sun in bellevue does great work at fair price. He will do the Vinyl in the top of the rear window. I had the windows on my prior car tinted there and they were perfect.

Years later he did my corvette and I was unhappy with the driver window, he proved to me that the glass was defective (due to the tempering process the glass goes through, some windows will have a stripping effect that becomes much more notable with the tint on).

Even though he did nothing wrong he didn't charge me anything for redoing the window, if that's not standing behind your work I don't know what it is.

No luck with the dots, I may have been too gentle with the scrubbing though. Like everyone says, it's hardly noticed unless you hunt for the right angles.

Shop was great, went to Auto Tint NW in Lacey.
