The Professional Window Tinting

Received a groupon as a gift. Booked an appointment over the phone next day guy said he could do the front two wimdows for 40. Which sounded like a deal. When i arrived he switched up prices so i agreed to just to get the back windows. Which a warranty was a separate cost which i thought was odd because a good business should confidently offer. The car was ready in an hour. Which they never called to say it was ready. After checking it out it looked good besides bubbles that he said would go away. Which some are still there. So after checking my car out a couple days later noticing my interior is scratched pieces are improperly put back. Plus his customer service is really bad. This whole experience was a mess.

AKA Professional Auto Worx.
These guys are fantastic. Super customer oriented and always deliver outstanding service. I’ve had two cars tinted by them over the past 2 years. I first discovered them by word-​of-​mouth while living in Sacramento. I recently moved to the Bay Area and needed my windows tinted on a new car. I did not hesitate to make the commute to these guys. There’s nowhere else with better tint service at ridiculously affordable prices. I’ll be taking all of my future cars to them!

*WARNING*
I do not recommend using The Professional Window Tinting service!
Back in 2010 I got 2 cars done (5 windows including the rear widow). During this time the seals on my car were damaged due to the person using the heat gun when applying the tint. I received a discount for this so I figured everything will be fine.
After 3 years the tint had faded completely away on both cars, people thought I no longer had tint on my windows. In 2013 I got one car redone under warranty, which now has faded again.
3 weeks ago I called to make an appointment to have my second car redone under warranty. I was told today would be the first available appointment for warranty tint. I had an appt made for 9AM. I get there today at exactly 9AM and upon my arrival I’m asked what I’m there for. I explain I need to have my tint redone and I’m asked if its under warranty and I say yes. Will (who I made the appt with) tells me theres no way he can do my car today, he has 3 cars ahead of me and that its just not possible for one person to remove that much tint in one day.
I explain to him I took a day off to have this done and that I have an appointment, without even looking at the appointment book he says regardless of the appointment he is unable to do my car. After a little back and fourth I ask him when he can do it next. He opens his appointment book and I see I’m the only one penciled in for today with my phone number listed, he says tomorrow or next Tuesday. I ask him to make a reservation for next Tuesday and he says «Alright I’ve got you scheduled, let me know if something changes are your unable to make it». Why couldn’t he call me today to let me know he wasn’t going to be able to do my tint?
I DO NOT plan on going back, at this point I rather pay someone else to have the tint removed and redone. A) the tint does not last B) Good luck trying to get your tint redone under warranty.

I was a little worried when the tint they had put on my car faded. It had been about 2 years since I got the tint put on. They were more than willing to help me with their warranty. Got me an appointment the next day after I called. The car was in and out in under 3 hours (it was done in 2 but I was late picking it up). They even polished up my headlights that we’re starting to yellow. They have done great by me

If I could give this place 0 out of 0 stars I would. I called to get a quote/​appointment and the man who I spoke to was EXTREMELY rude and unprofessional. He said he didn’t know when the next available appointment was because he didn’t have the book in front of him, told me the coupon I had was booked out for a couple of weeks but I could pay full price to get in ASAP. Why would I do that when I have a $ 140 off coupon??? I told him I was going to speak to my husband to set up the appointment (largely because I’d rather pay full price to another business than give them a dime) and before I even finished my sentence he hung up on me. BE WARNED!!! I wouldn’t waste your time or money!!!

I’ve been taking my business to these guys since 2005. Over those years, I’ve taken 6 vehicles to them for various tints, including custom artwork tint in multiple layers /​colors and they all have come out flawless. I could not believe the accuracy in the artwork. (They did a giant logo of the Pontiac Firebird on the back window of a Trans Am in 2007) and it still looks brand new to this day. From my trucks to sports cars, I’ve never had a peeling issue, fade issue, or bubbling issue.
Staff-​wise, these guys are real, everyday people. I appreciate a business that I can call and talk to the owner in less than 15 seconds, and this is one of those places. Great staff, and they take passion in the work they do. There is a reason they have been in business for so long, and that is because they do fantastic work and stand behind it.
Sometimes the wait can be a little long, but for a thing like window-​tinting, that is a good thing. They take their time to make sure it’s perfect, and do not rush. In a «I want everything now» world, you need to suck it up and wait. It’s worth it.

Located behind the auto shop…
Got a Living Social offer… took off work to have windows tinted.
after approx. 2 hours go my car back and appeared to be a good job. have to let it cure for a few days to really tell how well job was done.
A piece of debris was under the film… took it back 10 days later and was told this is NOT covered under the warranty… i asked how is this on me? i just got it done, obviously their is a piece of junk (not an air bubble) under the film…
PAID EXTRA to have the 1 window redone.
Don’t think i would return… in the future, I would pay the extra money and have it done right the first time and with a REAL WARRANTY.

Said he could do better than what was offered on Groupon or Living Social but I’ll never know because they are never available for an appointment. False promises.

I only chose this place because I had a deal for it off of living social. The deal pretty much cuts the price of window tinting in half. However, I had to pay for my front windows, apparently they consider my back window as 2 because they are split. To me that seemed a bit ridiculous, but I still felt like I got a good deal. I am nervous, I do not want my tint to fade as dramatically as someone had said there’s did from this place. I have had window tint last a long time with little fade, but it was not done here. So I guess I will have to wait and see. Also I am a young girl I get it and very easily fooled when it comes to car stuff, I feel like they knew that. They were not major creeps or anything but I would have felt better taking my husband or male friend.
This place is behind a car repair shop, but what was nice is it is right across from Starbucks, Nordstrom rack and Ulta! I did some shopping while I waited and since I had made an appointment and brought my car as soon as they opened it only took 2 ½ hours. They tell you to drop it off at 8 but the people who do the tinting do not get there at 8, that did not make sense to me. I did 35% on my front windows and 20% on my rear windows, so far it looks great. I had called around before shopping prices and what not and some places would not even tint my front windows but these guys didn’t care.

I’ve come back here twice and would only bring my car here if I got a new car. The lifetime warranty saves a bunch of money because even with the best quality tint films, the sun fades them after around 4 years.
I’ve gotten them to replace my tint with fresh tint twice and they only charge for removal which is less than ¹⁄₃ of the price of removal/​application going somewhere else. I moved from Sac, but I even drive from Vallejo to Sac just to get it done by them!
Highly recommended and they will even redo it if there is a bubble or nick in it which happens even with the most experienced tinters.

Andre and his team did a great job on my 2014 BMW 535i. Very professional and fast. Made appointment and they got me in right away. Windows came out perfect. You need to look for this place. The shop is behind the Clutch and Transmission shop near the entrance of the car wash.

Had them replace tint on the rear window of my car and a year later the tint has completely faded, looks like there is no tint on it at all. Looks really stupid because all the other windows are dark. I also had another car tinted here, before I knew better and all of the windows have faded, total waste of money. Do not recommend this place at all.
