I am about to book my scoob in for tints at Xtreme in Harlow, Essex and wondered if anyone else has had the experience already?

Are they any good?

They do give you a lifetime warranty but I don't want to be going back every week because it is lifting away.

Cheers
Scott

I wouldn't go there, let me guess they are charging £250 ??

There is a place in London Colney/ St Albans, cannot remember the name of the guy but he charges £140-£150 and that also comes with a lifetime warranty.

I have tried several other companies and they were quoting between £280-£370.

So I though £259.99 was okay, they are only 2 mins from me as well

I don't mind paying 250 if the job is good quality

Thanks

Xtreme subcontract their tinting work, they use a company in St Albans.

I am not a great lover of their work for one reaosn or another, but the tinting work that has been done looks perfect.

I had them done there after 7 months the driver's window started peeling at the top and it had lots of imperfections.
honestly i think that for £250 it was a mega crap job.
go to gatwick autoshades

Exclamation

Xtreme in Harlow (MaxPower shop, one of whose proprietors is Keith Rip, formerly of Ripspeed, I believe) and Xtreme Scoobies (run by Knowlesy and some other ex-Scoobysport people) are nothing to do with each other.

Keith Ripp sold Xtreme Motorsport to set up R-Tec in Hatfield. This was a good 2/3 years ago and Xtreme has seriously gone downhill since. Have heard stories of cars 'falling' off ramps!!

Make sure you explain in details which one you mean.

Xtreme Scoobies are very helpful.
