Do yourself a favor and make one call to Mark at ACME tinting. Mark came out to our house, arrived the exact time we had agreed on, tinted two of our cars, and all this in a professional and efficient manner. I’ve had cars tinted in the past by other, and they all made me feel like they had one week of experience. Mark knows his stuff and you can tell by how he goes about the installation. I would recommend Mark to my family and friends.

Stop reading reviews. This is the guy you want to tint your car windows. Mark is the consumate professional. I just had Mark tint my 2016 Nissan altima. Looks awesome! He did a nissan for me five years ago and it still looks great. Thank you, Mark.

Mark came out to my house and it was very windy. He was kind enough to let me use a garage and get the job done and done right. Very impressed with the work. Lifetime warranty. 5⁄5 would use this company again for another tint job.

I’ve tried top end and low end tint shops over the years. One hitch, you have to leave your car in their shops while you try to find something to do with yourself while you wait for 3+ hours.
Fun times, huh?
I think not.
Here’s when a moderately priced, mobile car tint business like ACME Tint comes in handy. They come to you, at home or at work, with Solargard tint (which compares and exceeds 3M films). Mark Farmer quoted me $ 200 for the rear 5 windows (excluding the fronts). His tint application work is exceptional and in my opinion, rivals those of other tint shops that cost up (and over) $ 500. Now, that’s value! His work is guaranteed as long as you own your car.
As quoted to me by Chuck of
, «he is the only tinter that I would have tint my car if I was ever unable to tint my own, I have known him for over 18yrs. He is a man of impeccable character & superior quality of workmanship, unsurpassed by any of the fly by night tint companies that use cheap made in china window films.»
Highly recommended.
Now you know.

Great job done, super professional but a little hard to schedule. ACME was early for the appointment and had good communication throughout especially with recommendations for how light or dark the tint should be. Extremely knowledgeable.

Mark has tinted 8 cars for my family in the last 5 years. He has always done a fabulous job and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. In all of the cars he’s done, we have only had one small issue. Mark was more than willing to fix it at no charge. Mark is a perfectionist and has the highest integrity.

I’ve known Mark over 4 years and he’s tinted all of my cars throughout the years as well as my friend’s. He’s been tinting over 20 years in San Diego.

I highly recommend Acme Tinting.

Mark just now finished tinting my car, and it looks great! He takes the time needed to do it right AND he was right on time. I encourage you to call this guy if you want it done right. He’s a nice guy and a real professional. Thanks Mark!

Excellent job. Mark was busy and couldn’t get me in for a few days but because of his ratings, competitive pricing and confidence when I spoke to him on the phone I decided to wait for him. Im glad I did, first of all he came to my house which was very convenient, he was on time and he did a perfect job. I would definitely be confident referring him to friends and he will be our new tint guy. Thanks Mark!

This guy is fantastic! I just had him tint my Mercedes and he did such a great job on my car. I’m loving it! He was very professional, and he was even on time! He shows up at your house, fully stocked with tint and got started right away. I would definitely say he has pride in what he does and it shows. He takes his time and makes sure everything looks great, and his prices were extremely fair. I would totally recommend this guy.

Do not let the small amount of reviews misguide you from this establishment. Mark does exceptional work. I went to Mark after I had made an appointment with SD tint and I was stood up with no follow up call. I am glad I got stood up. Mark is very knowledgable and best of all, punctual. his work speaks for itself. I had him do 7 windows on my Mazda. and called him again to do another set on my silverado. both done perfect and the time frame of time it would take to do them was to the perfect. Mark will be my go to guy from here on out. Thanks Mark!

Mark just pulled out of my work parking lot, leaving behind my 2012 Prius that now looks like it transports some serious VIPs! Amazing work, done on time, for the quoted price ($ 250 for 7 windows, regardless of tint color). Quickly gave me the low-​down on options, used the best products on the market, and did work that seriously looks factory-​installed. I was referred to this company (formerly Top Dog Tint) by a friend who noted a handful of other friends who’ve used Mark’s services over the years. This guy’s the real deal! Stop looking elsewhere.

Mark tinted my Dodge Caravan windows about five years ago, the tint is still in great condition. My van has not been garaged, always parked outside so I am very happy with the tint and quality of service. I have a brand new Camry and plan on having Mark do the tinting on my new car as well.

If you take pride in your car and want a perfect tint Mark is your man! I had no idea how this whole tinting business worked but I was shocked when he comes to you. You simply give him a time and place and he’ll be there on time and ready to work. I had just bought my car so I enjoyed watching how the process worked! Skip the tinting places all battling for the lowest prices and bubbly tint. give Mark a call! He’s an expert at what he does and really has a passion for cars which reflects in his flawless tinting job

Got Mark’s card from the BMW dealer. Figured since BMW felt good enough to recommend him, his work was going to be spot on. Met with Mark today, just finished up my black X5, and the work is flawless. Mark was knowledgeable, professional, personable and did exactly what he promised in the time he proposed (actually ended early). Because I live in a downtown high-​rise condo, where the HOA rules with an iron fist, the work couldn’t be done in my garage. Mark was flexible and performed the work in a nearby ace parking lot. I will gladly recommend Mark to friends, and anyone looking for a great tinter.

I was a bit skeptical at first. Looking at two 5 out of 5 stars on Unilocal doesn’t scream out. I was sold after checking out his website of the cars he tinted. I called and scheduled an appointment with Mark to tint my 05 Subaru Forester XT. Mark was very friendly and very professional.
Mark arrived on time and started right away. He answered all my tinting questions and definitely enjoys tinting. After talking with him I knew that he was legit. He tinted 7 windows and my sunroof using the latest Solargard film. The job was done in 3 ½ hrs.
His tint work is simply flawless. That’s probably why the Bentley dealership has him contracted as their tint guy. If anything goes wrong with the tint you’re covered. No tint job is too difficult for Mark at Acme Tinting. If you need your car tinted look no further than Acme Tinting. Just a heads up, Mark’s schedule gets book fast.

Mark at Acme Tinting has tinted all my cars for the last 15 years. I think he’s been doing it for 25 or more years and it shows! Not only does he do a great job, he’s a good, honest guy and he is always on time.

I am shocked this guy doesn’t have more reviews! Mark comes to you, he is on time, he is a friendly guy, has years of experience, loves what he does and does an amazing job. My car came out better than I expected. Mark is my tint guy moving forward on ALL my cars, and he should be yours too. You won’t be disappointed.

I’m the owner of the Z car posted on Mark’s website,
.
Mark was referred to me by a Toy King Mobile Detailing,
(also on Unilocal). Mark loves what he does! He worked at my home and answered all my questions. I went with his recommendations. He took off really old tint from when I bought this Z-​car in 1994 and put on new tint you see in the picture, sides and back windows. It’s SWEET! Efficient and clean and fun to chat with, too! If you considering getting tint for your car/​truck windows, Mark is your «go to man»!
