California Tinting

they don’t honor the unlimited warranty that comes with it my film it’s all faded and the back window it’s piling, and they scratch my back window 2, tint your windows here at your own risk, I will post some pictures.

in response to ms. colleen c.
first of all she had no work done with us, a window replace company came and did the job on the parking lot. when she came in the store she was using her cellphone and my dog came out and went to sniff her and she trip over him, that’s how he nipped her, my chihuahua weighs 5 pounds, i tried to see if there was anything i could do, but all she was saying is, «he bit me, he bit me, he bit me» never said a word to me about any discount. i did not rendered any service to her…

I went into this shop and I was bit by the owners chihuahua. It didn’t break skin but it instantly bruised. The owner didn’t do anything but say, «Oh sorry.» I asked for a discount and they said no so I threatened to write a review. They are now demanding cash only and following us to am ATM. This place shouldn’t be allowed to stay in business. I am an avid dog lover and have both a veterinary and animal training background. Now they’re claiming I kicked at the dog and upset him. I was texting on my phone and wasn’t moving. The dog ran up behind me and bit my leg. Regardless of find situation, no business should have aggressive animals on site. I’m surplus.
They did give us $ 20 off. That was after I threatened a Unilocal review!

Never get your windows done here. After calling around it seemed like a good deal.
I previously had a different car tinted through this location.
They do not honor the warranty they give you. Had a 2 year warranty. Brought in my car to show the big guy behind the counter. He says no problem, come back with the receipt & we will replace it. Try to make appt for a Saturday. I’m told, «We do warranties Monday-​Thursday only. We are too busy Friday & Saturday with paying customers.» I get my boyfriend to take my car in since I can’t take a day off.
I made the appt. Boyfriend arrives with receipt & he’s told it’s $ 60 for labor. What kind of warranty is that? You put the damn tint in my window & it faded completely. How is charging me to take out the old tint & putting new tint in «a warranty?» These guys are despicable people. They are beyond shady.
They basically were charging me what anyone else would to do a job they should’ve done for fee.
Awful customer service, horrible business practices. Never ever use these guys!!!

Their tinting is good for what it’s worth but they don’t honor the unlimited warranty that comes with it (at least not for me).
I forgot I wasn’t suppose to use windex on the inside of my windows so my tint faded. I spoke with Jesse, who I believe is the owner, and was told I could get them redone for free because of the unlimited warranty that came with my service. However, when I called back to make an appointment, I was told that I’d have to pay $ 75 because of some business issues that came up on their end. I suppose it’s still a good price for a new set of tints but I thought it was disrespectful that they went back on their word. I don’t do business with people who won’t stick to their own policies.
But if you don’t care for warranties, then this is a good place to get your windows tinted.

Shopped around, spoke with a few tinting shops. I got some higher estimates as well as some lower but… got a good feeling from speaking with the owner/​manager of California tinting that I was not going to be over charged nor have junk tint installed on my windows.
Took my car in earlier this week and after a few hours, was called to come pick it up.
I’m very happy with the tinting as well as the selection of tints available to me e.g. shades, manufactures, etc… At time of pickup some basics of care were explained to me.
If I wanted to be nit picky (there is always room for improvement) the exterior of my windows did have some water spots. Once upon a time many years ago when I worked in the auto business we always returned cars to customers with the windows clean.
Nonetheless, I will recommend this shop to friends and give 5 stars as this is very minor.

This place is great! Wonderful job, great service, and quick turn around. Best place to go for tints.

Professional tinting done at the best price in San Diego. Totally recommend this place.

I took my ’13 Corolla to get a window tint today and I was worried at first (due to it being my first time) but the owner managed to assure me that he has been doing this for 20 YEARS. That’s a plus for me. When I got my car it look perfect. The tinting was amazing. Customer service is great. I highly recommend this place! Thumbs up!

I went in on Friday afternoon to get my windows tinted. They were very nice and polite asked me what kind of tint I wanted and then immediately took my car to the back and got started. While waiting they put on cartoons for my 5 year old son to keep him entertained/​occupied. I believe it only took about a hour or so to do the whole window tinting and it turned out beautiful. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone who whats or is thinking about getting their car tinted. Great service and I walked about one happy customer.

Checked out several places. California Tinting gave me the best price in the area for tinting front, rear, and back windows. Courteous and professional. I highly recommend them.

This place is awesome I have been coming here for years ever since they opened always taking good care of me and giving me the best prices in town i highly recommend them & they truly know what they are doing and also this is the only shop I trust getting my car worked on and I know that it will be well taken well care of

Just got the windows tinted and took less than an hour! They even had phone chargers for Android and IPhone which was awesome otherwise I couldn’t write this review!
The waiting room/​lounge area had a big screen with surround speakers and a nice comfy couch.
I used a Unilocal check in offer for $ 100 when normally it’s $ 180

Thanks guys! You’re the best!!! They did an amazing job on my Lexus. I’ll be back for sure!!!

This place is awesome! First time getting my car windows tinted. It is inexpensive and fast. I highly recommend!

It was over a year ago I went to get my windows tinted here. They did a decent job even though there were some minor imperfections. I was OK with that and even with the one year warranty but not to long after that year was over the 5% that the put on the rear three windows and the lightest tint on the front two FADED. The three rears even changed color and the two on the front look like they are not even tinted. See for yourself. I have a truck that did the same thing as you can see in the photo. So tint your windows here at your own risk.

California Tint and Audio is excellent. They have done my last 5 cars with full tint all the way around. I usually have them use 3M tint which works well for me. And they actually use real 3M and not just say they do like some other local tinters. I also just had my Jeep Wrangler fully tricked out with two 12′ JL subs, two amps, full separate speaker system, new head unit, rocker switches for my lights, winch, CB, etc. Their head installer extraordinaire Matt did wonders. He took care of my Jeep like it was a Maserati. He even fixed an ignition and blinker power related shorts that he found. Truly amazing service from Matt. I will definitely take my next car to Matt for the audio and California Tint for the windows!!!

Great service, walked in no appointment needed. Jose took care of my Acura, got the car back in three hours. Can’t beat that and the price.

Brought my Mercedes Benz here after a few friends recommended this place after getting their windows tinted here. One of them for her windows done 3 years ago and they still look perfect so I decided this was the place to go. They don’t charge any ridiculous fees and I think it’s the best deal in town. I took my car in and it was done within 3 hours without having an appointment which I think is amazing… it’s not a fancy place but hey I’m sure that’s how they keep their prices down.
I would recommend this place to anyone looking to save money and at the same time have a quality tint on their car.

California tint is friendly, reasonably priced and did a great job on my windows. They also told me if there are any problems in the future after letting the tint do its thing bring it back and they will fix it for me. Very pleased.
