Unhappy Window tint woes...

Hey all, my folks went to try to get recon today and the guy was nice enough to turn them away b/c their tints were too dark (as opposed to failing them). So now I gotta find a place that'll strip the tint and reapply a lighter one (35%, correct?) preferably in Town please.

I ran a search for a good tint place, but it seems most of the recommendations were from last year and thus I wanted to make sure that all the info is still up to date.
1.) Reggie's: do they still offer an i-Club discount? Shaggy?
2.) Al's
3.) Does White Devil still do tints on the weekends?

Any sort of contact info and/or recommendations for these or other sources is greatly appreciated and will be repaid in backrubs. Also, what's the going rate on a strip and re-tint for the two rear door windows, the two rear door little triangle windows, and the back glass? Thank you!

erica (eRicaSWGN) recommended door to door detailing to me. I am going to get my car done there, she has had two cars tinted and 4 cars detailed there and so far no problems.

its on queen street over near restaurant row.

Hope your tints are dark enough for us not to be questioned by the authorities or anyone else

Oh yeah, I forgot to ask what the going rate would be for the strip and re-tint on the 2 rear doors and backglass. First post edited w/ this question as well

Thanks all!
