3M is the best window tint to use. I can't help you out on the shop, but where ever you go - DO NOT let them tell you that the rear quarter windows can't be done in one piece. Any experienced shop can do it - I had mine done with one piece of tint and never had problems with peeling, bubbling, etc. in the 7 years it was on the car. The line in the middle of the window looks like crap IMO. And when they do your rear window it should take 3 pieces. Make sure they cut and connect the pieces on one of your rear defrost lines. It will look so much better.

I had my tinting done in Columbus, OH. by Ziebart Tidy Car a couple years ago. Yes, they did use 3M tint. Anyway, I had the back side windows and the complete rear window done in 1 piece. The tint job looks great.
