    Non adhesion

    DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HERE! Read the reviews! Not the ones abt washing a car but the ones about installing anything like window tint, ceramic, or PPF. Their reviews indicate they are Pretty good at car washes but are horrible at anything else. I wish I had! If I could give this business NEGATIVE STARS I would because they deserve it. They installed ppf on my 6 day old brand new vehicle and it was dirty with contamination under the film, they left prep material under the film, the edges were horrible, wrinkles all over and even one of the door cups was installed upside down. When I brought it back for inspection, they accused me of causing the wrinkles and the manager John, was very offended that I even questioned their work. John told me to me to bring it to any shop and they would tell me it was a fantastic job so I Did. When they said it was installed incorrectly and needed to be removed his response was that he cannot take their word because any other shop is a competitor! Like what? He asked me to get a second opinion but because it indicated poor work he didn't want that anymore? He also said "you asked for a rush job" and that is 100% incorrect. I didn't set the time line, he did. Even if a.customer does ask for a rush job and or a quicker install if it was a quality establishment, they would refuse if this was what the outcome would be but the entire accusation is false and again an attempt to blame their lack of quality work onto me. So many accusations from him and he tried to shift the responsibility of horrible workmanship on to me! When I requested my money back because of the lack of him taking any responsibility and the hostile response, he flat out refused and said they would do some "trimming" instead. Due to the lack of quality work expected by the manager I declined and boy was that the right move because (see below). I emailed the owner to explain what had taken place with the manager, included pictures of the poor adhesion, wrinkles , prep material etc and discussed the poor job on my car and asked for my money back. His response was that he didn't agree with my characterization of what took place with the manager and didn't even address the pictures or the work. Review your cameras buddy... I ended up having to get a charge back on my credit card. Once I completed that lengthy process, I had the film removed by a licensed shop and they noted that there are cuts through my brand new paint on many places from their trimming knives! They even cut into the plastic on my brand new headlights! So I emailed them explaining the damage, provided pictures and asked for their shop insurance so I could file a claim and they did not even bother responding. After reading other reviews of vehicle damage, and them not responding or taking responsibility I'm wondering if they even have shop liability insurance? What a bunch of clowns. They have a good social media manager but you are risking THOUSANDS IN DAMAGE and crappy work if you take your car here. What a complete headache and costly mistake to take my vehicle there. They also spoiled my ability to enjoy my brand new 65k vehicle because I've had to deal with this ever since I walked into their dirty shop and TRUSTED them with my new vehicle. I have never in my life experienced the lack of professionalism, lack of a sense of responsibility for their work and blatant disregard and harassment of their customer. Read the other reviews this is a common theme there . I've never ever had to ask for a charge back from my credit card either but I got it because the evidence is on my side. DO NOT BRING YOUR VEHICLE TO THIS PLACE!

    FROM A DAMAGED CAR AND A DISAPPOINTED CUSTOMER. I bought my new BMW in March and brought it to A1 Auto Detailing for window tint and PPF. I picked up the car on May 1. Only 20 days later, I discovered that the rear driver-side door could no longer be opened from the inside. I brought the car back to A1. The employees inspected the vehicle and agreed that the shop would compensate me for the repair cost. The next day, the owner, Miguel, reversed that position and stated that the car had been returned to me in good condition. I provided BMW's inspection report, which documented loose door panel fasteners, a detached Bowden cable, a disconnected lock linkage, and a damaged door lock actuator. BMW concluded that these conditions were not caused by normal vehicle operation, were not a manufacturing defect, and resulted from outside influence on the door assembly. A1 did not provide evidence showing that the door was returned in good condition, but continued to deny responsibility and relied on a 24-hour reporting clause in its service agreement. For future customers, I strongly recommend carefully reviewing the service agreement before signing and keeping all documentation. At the time of my complaint, BBB showed this business with an F rating. I am currently pursuing this matter through legal channels. During the service process, A1 also refused to accept the legal documents, and the process server was told that they would be trespassed if they returned. I am sharing my experience so that future customers can make an informed decision.

    I'd give them zero stars if I could. Brought my 2025 crv in for a mold cleaning detail: 1. They didn't find or look i ended finding it on the underside of the spare tire compartment cover. 2. The car was clean already when I brought it in, there was one blemish in the vehicle on the backseat they didn't clean. 3. Damages... they dented the inside of the passenger door area, the dash under the glove box had a deep scratch, and they put the cabin filter back in sideways and upside down. Waste of $500 and cost me more in damages through depreciation. I know what they'll respond with "we have you verify your vehicle at the time of pickup" Who can spend two hours looking going over every nook and cranny. Thats a cop out response for poor quality and negligent work. You're rolling the dice if you bring your car here. The work is inconsistent.

    Wouldn't take my vehicle anywhere else. These guys did a great job tinting the front to match the rear privacy glass. Great facility, worked me in quick, top level service and priced fairly.

    See all

    Andrey and his team did a great job installing a ceramic film on my C43. I live in Bellingham, 60…read moremiles north of Lynnwood. I drove one hour both ways to get it done at Skyline, which I think tells you how badly wanted to get the windows tinted here. Here are pros and cons, followed by my advice. PROS + Andrey is responsive. He answers questions thoroughly and responds to emails quickly. + He is in this business for 20 some years, and he know the stuff. I went in thinking I will go with 35%, but he recommended 30% and advised against going any lighter than that. Initially, I was a bit worried that 30% would be too dark, but I'm glad I followed his advice. 30% is exactly what I wanted and looks great. It's like picking a paint color for your house. You would know until you see it on the house, but experienced professionals know what it will look like. + I thought the price was reasonable. I chose a single layer ceramic film by autobahn. It took them 4 hours to install it on my C43 coupe (side windows and the back). I paid $400 plus tax. With the quality of work and the time it took them, I don't think $400 is bad at all. + It was clear to me that customer experience was important to Andrey. He threw in a bottle of window cleaner made by autobahn for free. I found two really minor scratches on the passenger door (probably caused by finger nails, nothing deep). Instead of arguing with me he offered to buff them out. CONS - I can't think of anything. MY ADVICE @ If you need to kill time while they are working on your car, Alderwood Mall isn't too far. As I had 4 hours to kill, I walked there and back. It took me 40 minutes each way. Adjacent to the mall are H-Mart (Korean grocery store), Costco, and a couple of strip malls. @ As always, whenever you give your key to anyone, take pictures of the car. I usually take pictures and video tape the car. Although I didn't have to deal with it with Andrey, it's the only way to avoid your word against theirs. @ It comes with 3~5 days of curing time. During that, you cannot roll down your windows. Also, you may see some minor bubbles, but they are supposed to disappear. Once the curing time is over, I will post some photos. In any case, I highly recommend Skyline Tint Shop! ************************************************************ If you found my review helpful, don't forget to hit "useful" and/or "cool"!

Due to their "system being down" when I showed up for my appointment no one knew that I was coming. They didn't have availability and when I asked about pricing I was told it would be double the cost of what I was told over the phone.

On a beautiful Saturday the Lynnwood locations car wash was unfortunately closed. Against our better judgement we went to the dreaded Alderwood location to clean our son's car. The car wash started and immediately the middle of the windshield cracked and then spidered into the entire windshield. We reported the incident immediately and took several photos. There was no manager on duty on a Saturday? We then contacted him first thing Monday morning. He insisted we drive the car back where he told us the crack was in the inside...hmm. I guess not only is he a weekday manager but also a glass expert. We have tried several times to get anyone (else) to return our calls to no avail and there is apparently no other manager to talk to at anytime onsite. Our insurance has told us they will not cover it as it is considered third party damage. Not to mention at time of purchase on the inspection of the vehicle no windshield damage was found. So my (Autistic) 16 year old is left with a car that is illegal to drive. Thanks Levine family, we will never use your company again. We will now determine if this is worth pursuing in small claims court.
