Parker S.

Had my window smashed and needed to get a window re-tinted to match the tint that I had done a couple years ago by Auto Tech Tinting as well. They got it done in about 15 minutes and I was on my way. Great!

Rich W.

Went back to Auto Tech for the 6th time to get another car tinted. Steven took car of me as usual, it's great to support a local business in SF.

The price that I paid for getting my windows tinted, they did an awesome job on my 2023 Toyota Mirai. Tinting looks very clean and I'm very satisfied.

Awesome job!
Peter B.

Excellent quality and overall experience with Auto Tech -- highly recommend! They have done 6 of my cars now over the past 10 years, and I will keep coming back!

Stacy Y.

This is my second car I have had tinted here. They are very responsive and got me in the same I called. Finished the job within hours and it looked amazing! I highly recommend this place! 10 out of 10!

Amazing job they did on my Camry!! Tint looks better than I expected. Definitely will recommend others

Wild N.

Guys went above and beyond tinting my wagon. Extremelly fast & great service and without the appointment! They showed different films and explained the difference between them before I decided what film to go with. I went with 3M Crystaline and I am very happy with results. Can't recommend them enough. Thank you Auto Tech Tinting for your tremendous help!

Model Y tinted

Had a great experience here with the tint on my model Y. I wanted the front windows to match the factory tint in the rear and Vincent recommended 25%. It turned out great. The service was fast and the price was reasonable. I did not need an appointment (although you should call to make sure they have availability). If you need window tint in SF, look no further!

Thanks guys!

They did a great job on my Cybertruck. Front two windows + the small triangle ones. Thanks guys!!

Had my windows tinted while I basically waited. I stopped in to see when I could schedule an appointment and they did it on the spot! I left for lunch and returned 1hour and 30 minutes later to find it completely done! Great job Steve! Very clean and done quickly at a great price! I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks again!

25% tint added to front driver and passenger windows.

Auto Tech Tinting has been my go-to shop for window tinting for years. They're super responsive, fast, and reliable. I just had my Tesla Model Y Performance tinted by them, and the result is great. The car came with tint on the rear passenger windows from the factory, and I wanted to tint the front windows to match. They suggested the right shade (25%) to match the rears and had it done in a little over an hour. Highly recommended!

Tim F.

Called them the same day and they were able to fit me in. Can't tell you how much more comfortable it is with the new 3M tint and the car looks great too! Super nice crew there and they finished right on time. Thanks!!

Bob K.

First experience w/ Auto Tech. First time with 3M film. But this is the third car I've had tinted 35% all around. So I thought... it's actually the first *true* all-around, bc Auto Tech is the first shop to take the time to tint both small window panels by the front side view mirrors. If you have a VW Golf, put your had up by the dash and touch the window, it's reallyyyy tight, and amazing how well it turned out! Super clean. As close to perfect as it gets.

Excellent job as always

See all

If I have a rear dash camera, will you still be able to tint the back windshield?

From what I understand 3M offers varities of films, each with difference performances. What type of 3M film do they use?

I was wondering the same thing. So after getting my tint here, I found out that they use 3M FX Premium film for the car tints. NOT the HP version. On the 3M site, the HP version has better performance.…

First off, this review is over 10 years late. Over the past decade plus, I've brought 8 of our…read morecars (Toyota, BMW, Honda (3), VW, Subaru, Acura) for window tinting at Grizzly. The workmanship is top-shelf as Danny knows his stuff and is an artisan of his craft, which requires lots of attention to detail. Between Danny and Gena, they run a beautiful shop in SSF with competitive prices on Llumar tint. I recently had to get some warranty work done on my ID.4 as the back window started "rippling" and distorting after only a couple of years, making rearview mirror images harder to see. Gena was able to get the work approved under warranty (it was an adhesive defect), made an appointment and brought the car in and the work was done in about an hour -- I can see clearly out the back window again. I will continue to go to Grizzly Tint with all my future vehicle acquisitions in the future....the best window tinting service in the Bay!

Use this shop at your own risk. Read all of the other one-star reviews for this place on Google…read more Similar experiences. Had LLumar ceramic film installed on all of my brand-new car's windows in June. I let the film cure for a couple of weeks. Time passes, and on my back left window, I noticed a tiny bubble around what appeared to be lint trapped between the glass and the film. Thinking this would be covered under warranty as an installation flaw, I brought it back to Grizzly. The installer removed the film and located the "defect." It wasn't lint, but rather a deep scratch. The installer then claimed the scratch was already there when I brought the car in, said he "forgot" to tell me about it after the initial install, and claimed it must have come like that from the factory. He told me to take the car back to the dealership to get the glass replaced under warranty--and added that if I didn't get it replaced, / would have to pay them labor costs to reinstall the tint on that window. I brought the car back to the dealership. The master technician inspected it and confirmed the deep scratch was caused by a third party using a razor blade. The installer scratched my brand-new window during prep, didn't own up to his mistake, purposefully hid it from me, and then tried to charge me extra labor when I brought it to his attention. Unbelievable dishonesty. I will never step foot in this shop again.

I've trusted California Detailing to beautify and protect four cars and three motorcycles for my…read morefamily since our first experience with them in 2022. Most of the jobs were for full PPF + ceramic coating of new vehicles, but they've also performed a couple of non-PPF paint correction, detailing, and ceramic coating work on well-used vehicles not eligible for PPF. In all cases, California Detailing produced fantastic results that made the new cars look better than they were at dealer delivery and the well-used vehicles look as close to new as possible. For vehicles that we've subsequently sold, California Detailing's attentive work helped protect their resale value. Even when we don't have big jobs pending, we drop by their shop a few times a year for installation inspections and touch-ups (no charge during PPF or ceramic coating warranty period). In addition to being skilled professionals, California Detailing also have great customer service that easily makes my family and me feel at home during our visits. Excellent and lasting results, great people, convenient location, and timely scheduling. We'll see them again soon!

I had never had my car detailed before because it never seemed like a necessity, but was prepping for family to visit and it hit me that the car looked pretty beat up inside and out. Not gonna lie - it felt expensive - but they did an amazing job. They were up front and explained exactly what they were going to do. They did need to see the car before confirming a final quote. They did the full internal and external job and went through every nook and cranny until it shined. I dropped the car off at 9am and picked up a little after 5pm. While I was tempted by the convenience of mobile detailers, i ultimately chose the fixed location and don't regret it.

He pointed out that my…read moreroof was already starting to break down: patchy, worn, almost like these "salt-burn" marks across the paint of the roof. I'll be honest, I'm still learning about paint health but I know enough to recognize when something needs attention. I love my car, it's reliable, it supports everything I need to do in my life--and since I fully own it, I wanted to do something meaningful for it for my birthday. They walked me through two options: vinyl vs. PPF. And the way they explained PPF just made sense. It wasn't just about aesthetics, it was about peace of mind. Protection from all the elements this car goes through daily. Longevity. Something that holds integrity over time, not just a quick fix. That mattered to me. The owner was incredibly informative. You can tell there's intention behind everything here: not just the service, but the design, the experience, the way they think. As a designer, I pick up on that immediately. It doesn't feel random...it feels considered. And the front desk, she was amazing! I wish I remembered her name. But you know when someone's vibe is just genuine? Not performative, not transactional--just kind, attentive, and actually caring about helping you? That was her. It makes a difference. What really surprised me was the turnaround. Same day. I wasn't expecting that at all! They finished the roof in a black gloss PPF, and it completely transformed the car. It looks like a panoramic roof now--clean, elevated, honestly more expensive. It was such a strong recommendation, and I'm really glad I trusted it. We also talked about window tinting, and after this experience, I'm already planning to come back. The level of professionalism, the clarity, the care--it's consistent across everything they do. When you get PPF you get a followup appointment to ensure everything is curing properly. You can tell they work on luxury vehicles, there's a precision to their standards. But what stood out to me is that they bring that same level of care to anyone who walks in. No matter your vehicle, they are dedicated to making it feel top notch. That matters. I highly recommend them. Truly. Thank you Graphix Lab! Attaching photos of how shiny black gloss PPF looks.

Overall, a very pleasant experience that I would not mind repeating! Now, the long version: recently bought a brand new Mazda 3 and I wanted to keep the car for a long time. Heard a lot of rumblings about the paint being very thin and that PPF would be highly recommended in order to preserve it and prevent rock chips. Browsed around on Yelp to see if there were any local PPF shops to alleviate this concern. A few shops responded, but Mayza from MCAR was one of the first and most diligent around. Her patience and explanations helped ease my concerns, and there was absolutely no pressure. She quoted the job accordingly, which was quite fair, given what others seemed to be charging, and all the pieces starting falling into place. Next thing you know, I had an appointment to get the PPF installed on the weekend. Multiple texts were sent to confirm the appointment, along with reminders as the day came closer. Location was one of the key factors in choosing MCAR, as they are located very close to public transportation and in an area that's easily accessible - they're located behind the old SF Honda dealership. Showed up bright and early on a Saturday morning right when Neto and his team was opening up the shop, and was checked in within a few minutes. Neto did ask if I wanted anything additional done, but I told him that a full-frontal pre-cut PPF was all my budget allowed at the moment. No pressure on additional services and my car was taken in to be worked on after our initial conversation. The PPF installation was brilliant after I picked up my car, and it was completely transparent, virtually unnoticeable and clean. The job only took a day to complete as well since it was a pre-cut install. After the job was completed, Neto instructed no car washes for about 2 weeks, and to come back for a follow-up inspection. 2 weeks passed, and I had noticed that there was some peeling on one of the side mirrors. Brought the car back in for the inspection and explained the peeling on one side; Neto quickly brought the car in and reapplied new PPF within an hour. Professional and diligent all around. What's even more amazing is their work is backed by a 10-year warranty! Communication is always key and MCAR PPF definitely provided that. Neto and the team deserves all of the kudos for their work. All of the cars they work on are either upscale exotic cars, Teslas or luxury cars. My "casual" car was one of the few that wasn't incredibly expensive-looking, but there was no judgment. Thank you to MCAR for this magnificent experience, and looking forward to repeat business!

If you own a Tesla or any high-end car and care about quality, this is absolutely the place to go. Joe, the owner, is always welcoming and clearly pours his passion into the business. You can tell immediately how much he values his team. He treats his staff like family, and it shows in their work. Everyone there genuinely enjoys what they do, and they really do live up to the "OCD" name when it comes to attention to detail. I learned the hard way that not all highly rated Yelp shops deliver real quality. After going to another popular place, a friend pointed out several issues in the work that I had completely missed. Never again! I would much rather pay for top-tier service and have peace of mind than worry about fixing problems later. Most recently, I had a front PPF and tint done on my Tesla, and the results were flawless. OCD Detailing is one of the few places capable of tinting the entire Tesla roof using a single piece, with no seams, and it looks incredible. They were also kind enough to help install hub caps I purchased separately and recommended a great source for blacked-out emblems. My car turned out beautiful. The only downside is that I live in San Francisco, so the drive is a bit out of the way, but it was absolutely worth it. I recommend OCD Detailing to all my friends whenever they're looking for high-quality PPF or tinting. If you care about your car, this is where you take it.
