"Marvel did an incredible job on my tint. He educated me on the differences between the tint shades and glass type to help me decide what I wanted for my car. He also does ceramic coating as well! I liked how he gave updates on his work progress so that you can plan your day accordingly."

"The guys who tinted my car did an incredible job! The precision and attention to detail were outstanding, leaving no bubbles or imperfections. The tint not only enhances the car’s sleek look but also provides excellent privacy and sun protection. They completed the job efficiently and with a professional attitude, making the entire experience seamless. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out—highly recommend their services!"

"Sergio did a wonderful job on the tinting of my Honda Odyssey & he did so with a smile on his face in the blazing heat!!! My tint had some slight bubbling, but Sergio was quick to make it right. Once again with a happy pleasant attitude. He made sure I was happy with the work before he handed me my keys. Thank you so much Sergio!! I am truly appreciative & will be supporting this business again in the near future. Thank you!"

Back side and rear windows can have any darkness level. Windshield tint is limited to the top 4 inches.
