tinting rear windows of car

have just bought a new car, and would like to get the rear windows tinted to protect the kids from the sun shining in (the stick on blinds get pulled off in seconds now). Was wondering if anyone could recommend anyone in Newtownabbey or surrounding area, and give an idea of price?

    Heard good things about TS autotints in ballyclare/ballynure.

    It's not that difficult a job to do yourself to a reasonable standard on the side windows, rear windows are another story though

    There is a place on Kennedy Way just off the M1 at Stockmans Lane in the DC complex! Give them a ring for a comparative price, usual done while you wait!

    I would highly recommend Pentagon window tinting, Blaris Road Lisburn.
    I purchased a new car 5 years ago but it wasn't 'factory' tinted and I wanted the rear windows done. The dealer I purchased the car from took it to Pentagon and had it done before I collected it.
    5 years later the windows look as good as they did the day i bought it so no peel off rubbish etc used there.
    I think they only tint within legal standards so if you want it black all over they probably won't do it.
    After all this time it is still impossible to see where or how they tinted the windows which I think was a fab job. I'm not sure how much it costs as it was done in the sale price for me.

    such a difference in quotes:
    ts autotint- £120
    eclipse in Kennedy Way- £160
    Pentagon, Lisburn- £220

    would love to know if there is a difference in the quality, but think I am going to go with TS myself.
