Excellent quality service. Friendly staff and they guarantee their work. Highly recommend.

Great customer service and great job done! I got all windows done with the ceramic tint and it came out flawless. While the customer service was great, they should refrain from giving legal advice. The lady tried to convince me that it is legal to tint the entire front windshield. Just do your own research about CA law. Otherwise, the job was great! read more

Recently took my daughter's car for window tinting and it came out nice. She opted for 3m which cost more. They warned us about having bubbles which are slowly going away. Most of it are gone by the 3rd day. Excellent service. She explained the process. This is the 3rd vehicle I have taken to them for window tinting. Great work every time. read more

Great Customer Service & Beautiful Outcome! Messaged multiple companies through Yelp to get a quote. I went with this company because they were one of the few in the Peninsula to have 3M Ceramic window tinting. Frank was quick to respond and was open to me coming by any time during office hours. I came in twice- once to see which tint I'd want and a second to actually get it done. Came in around 10am and it was finished around 2:30pm. I wish I knew before hand that credit cards are an additional 4% charge but there's also a big sign at the front desk I don't carry around $508 in cash haha so I paid with card which came out to $528 for 4 side windows and rear. It has a lifetime warranty, as long as you keep that packet of paper they give you. read more

Garbage installation. I had them redo it because of all the bubbles and they reinstalled it with tons of large bubbles again. I guess their shop is unclean and full of dust but very disappointing. The cherry on top was when I got my car back and it smelled like the tech hadn't wiped all day and reeked of poop. I had to air out the car for a week. I won't be back. read more

Best Image does it again! I've been taking my cars to get window tints from Best Image for years now and always get the same top notch results. Only once did I have an issue with a lingering tint bubble and I took it back to them and they fixed it no questions asked. I always recommend these guys to friends and family. They just got done tinting my wife's Grand Cherokee to match the rear window factory tint and got amazing results for the price! Thanks Best Image! read more

Best Image - Car Window Tinting Near Me - San Mateo, California

This hidden gem is the real deal! I've come here for all my cars and have been coming for years. They operate on a first-come, first-served basis, so here's a pro tip: show up early. I went on a Saturday to get my two front windows tinted and arrived around 7:30 AM and I was second in line. They opened right at 8, got me in immediately, and I was out before 10 AM. The front desk staff is super friendly and helpful, and the quality of the work is excellent. Big plus, they offer a lifetime warranty, which really shows how confident they are in their work. Fast, professional, and great results. Highly recommend this place if you need tinting done! read more

I've been coming here since 2011!!!!! I brought my 4 door Integra back then and got the standard tints and they still look good till this day and it's 2024. Crazy right !!! I've brought my honda pilot, Mercedes Benz and my RX Lexus over the years and until this day I've had no issues. They do offer warranty on the basic tints, which I'm sorry I forgot the name, but it does the job and makes the look of the car more appealing and it's honestly good quality. I never had to go back and redo any of the tints I done on all my cars. If you really want the tints to block off the heat from the sun they have other options and various tint shades. They keep it simple and easy. Their turn around time is quick depending on how many windows you tint, but if you walk like 2 block pass the railroad tracks you got a lot of food places you can just go eat and wait for your car to be done! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting your tints here they are reasonably priced, nice customer service and convenient location. Call them now for an estimate and schedule a time to go in so you don't have to wait. read more

I was weary of coming back here after all the recent bad reviews BUT I decided to give it a shot. I have been here previously but it's been more than a few years. I tinted my entire BMW 335i 20% all around with just the basic option of the Jackson tint. Honestly, it works well and the car has been cooler ever since. There were bubbles to begin with but that disappeared over a few days. The car looks great and I am a happy customer. The price was reasonable as well so it was definitely a worthy purchase. read more

Reviews Reviews Reviews!!! For starters I want you guys to know I am NOT related to this business in any way, shape or form. Probably like you, I searched Google reviews and Yelp before taking the plunge. To be honest, at first when I read the 1 star review from Chris L that was given on 12/6/2024 and the 2 star review from Annie L. I was petrified because I just got a new 2025 Camry for my wife and I knew absolutely nothing about window tint, UV protection, glare protection and Infrared Reflection numbers. However after studying up on all the different brands and films available I could probably do a YouTube video on the subject matter. So here are my two cents worth .... A review is nothing more than an opinion and like say, everyone has one and some simply STINK. I can't speak for the other low ratings but I will tell you this, my experience with Best Image, owner/manager Frank and his Assistant at the front has been nothing but upfront, full disclosure, and professional. Best Image was not the lowest price quoted to me, however like in any business transaction, be friendly and upfront with Frank and he will end up being like your favorite Uncle! Yes Frank wasn't the lowest price in the end but he worked with me to come within $25.00. Ok, price aside, let's talk about ease of making the appointment: If you call in advance you will get multiple time slots because they do have a good size team of installers. And from my research there are at least 15 brands out there manufacturing window tint and if you go nano ceramic you can't go wrong EXCEPT if you go with an inexperienced installer. For example, the window tint installer is like a Chef! If you give a bad Chef great ingredients you still end up with a mediocre dish. Give an experienced Chef great ingredients and you'll most likely have a memorable meal. I went with 3M because of their reputation, their warranty and the performance of the CeramicIR film. I strongly recommend this to anyone with a Toyota or any high end exotic car. I promptly dropped off my car at 8:15 AM today. The front desk assistant has been there many years and knows her craft. Before I handed her my keys I made sure to walk inside the working garage and this morning it was spotless. You can tell a lot about a business from how clean and tidy it is. I originally only wanted to do all the glass except the front windshield but after careful research the front windshield is very beneficial to have done too so I decided to get the entire car done. Once again, Uncle Frank, worked with me and provided a generous discount. The entire job took from about 8:30 am to 2:30 pm. The vehicle was parked and ready for pick up right when I arrived. The front desk had my paperwork ready, accurate disclosure, and receipt all set to go. I appreciate a business that values my time as well. The only thing, if you come here and purchase the 3M Ceramic IR tint, please note in most videos out there you will see a 3M mark on the ceramic tint and you have to use some cleaner to remove it, but the one's they applied to my car did NOT have the 3M mark, but it will be on your receipt for piece of mind. No, they will not pull a bait and switch here. I was told this company has been doing tinting for over 2 decades and only tinting related jobs. You would think if you did the same thing for 20+ years you would be pretty darn good at it. I saw no bubbles whatsoever on all the window but the front windshield still has some hazy waves in them but that was explained and told to me beforehand. They told me that until the window cures, which could take days, the window may appear hazy, lumpy or look like it has water bubbles, but this is a normal occurrence until the tint has fully cured. My experience from being given a quote, to making an appointment and visiting the cleanliness of the shop, and price has been truly a memorable one and I have no reservations about recommending Frank to you! Thank you read more

Done fast and looks good. The cost wasn't too bad and it keeps the car a bit cooler. They only do window tinting, so it is a specialized shop. read more

Had my car done hear and got excellent service and gave my car a whole new look with the ceramic tint also live their long time warranty!

Unlucky me I guess, saw the good reviews for this place and the tints are good and I took my car in today. However carelessness led to a giant scratch on my driver side window (that was DEFINETELY not there prior) it's long with a curved tail end it's like they took a rock to the window in a cleaning stroke with a towel. Every other window was fine but this totally ruined my driver side window and it's right in my face everytime. Don't come here if you don't want to experience this horror read more

I am not fully satisfied with my experience nor results. The girl who works the front desk is very cold and unpleasant, it turned me off. The price seems comparable but I was and still am extremely confused by all of the options due to the lack of explanation. It seemed simple when she explained it in person but when I looked around at all of the signs and prices, there seemed to be more than just 2 different tint options. Then when I picked up my car, there were large bubbles in several places especially along the edges which left the edge open for dust to enter. So I asked the tech to smooth out the edges that were exposed but I expected that type of thing would've been checked by them, not me, especially for the price we paid! So I took my car home because they said the rest of the bubbles would cure and go away over a few days but it didn't. So I had to take my car back the following week. They told me to come around 10 but I got there shortly after they opened hoping they could finish it faster but I was wrong. The front desk girl (same one) said 45 mins, I specifically told her that I needed both moon roofs replaced. It took them about an hour and a half (double the time) and they only replaced the front moon roof! I had to wait another 45 mins for them to replace the rear moon roof... Guess what, more large bubbles, especially along the edges. They said it would go away again, it's been 3 weeks now and there's a large dust strand that got into the edge and cured. I don't even want to go back again. I honestly would prefer a partial refund for the inconvenience. I would not recommend this place to any of my friends. read more

Called them for a quote and made an appointment for the next day. Got there and was helped by the very knowledgeable receptionist. I selected the 3m ceramic at 35% .. The tint specialist did they magic and I got the call to pick up the car and ... Boom just like that I'm ready for the summer , they got me rollin around lookin like a doctor ! Thanks guys. read more

Best Image - 3m Ceramic 35% all around. - Car Window Tinting Near Me - San Mateo, California

The spot is a little hidden but once you make it there you see alot of people getting their car tinted. They are super helpful and friendly. I called a couple of times to get an estimate and the lady on the phone was super helpful. They were very accommodating. They offered me a time fairly quick that worked for me. I was estimated that two front windows would be done by 430. And surprisingly everything was done by 4:15pm. They have all the color percentage tints they offer. They have out on display which they offer 15,20,35,55 and 70% for 3m with a life time warranty. They offer another brand called Johnson with 2 years warranty. The lady in the front was super nice, she brought me outside to show me the difference in tints that were installed on cars already. So basically the lifetime warranty works is within 3 years free labor covering peeling, bubbling, and fading. But anything after 3 years you will have to pay labor which will be 50% on each window. I also asked what happens if you decide to change the like 35% to 20% you will need to pay labor to remove and reinstall the tint Love thay option read more

Nothing less than five stars for these guys. Frank and his team at Best Image are hands down amazing. Every time I go there with a personal vehicle or friends vehicle they always take care of us. This time they worked magic on my moms BMW X5. Initially was going to the 3M FX-Premier (I think I got the name right) but after talking to one of the employees he highly recommended the 3M ceramic film. It's a bit more in price but well worth it from what I've been hearing (I'll definitely update this review in the summer). I went with 35% in the front and 5% in the rear! Looks great and helps with security (hopefully). Overall, I'm 110% satisfied with Frank and his team at Best Image. I drove from the east bay to get my family's windows done. They all call me crazy but Best Image has earned my business over the years and I will keep going to them and recommending anyone as long as they're open! Oh and take it for what you will but Best Image has the best prices in the Bay Area for quality films. If you can't afford the "quality film(s)" there's a more affordable option that is also decent quality! Wish I still had pictures of my 02 Explorer.. but I got the Johnson and Johnson film in 2012 and when I got rid of that vehicle the tints were still in PERFECT condition. If you're thinking of giving these guys a shot GO FOR IT..you won't be disappointed..I'll let their work speak for itself though.. read more

Do not do business here. Frank, the owner, who was more than happy to provide his name voluntarily when I mentioned I would be reviewing my experience rejected my business simply because I was asking about the warranty. There is a form they ask you to sign that outlines they are not responsible for imperfections and I wanted to get clarification for small bubbles that may be present after the curing. Without even answering my question he decided he was not interested in my business. This is after I had already made an appointment and drove a significant distance to have my windshield tinted. The front desk receptionist who I agree with other reviewers here is not friendly and provides poor customer service. I will note this business was referred to me by another business. I have experience tinting multiple vehicles and poor workmanship is poor workmanship. Frank clearly does not stand behind his work otherwise he would not react so negatively to a standard question in the industry. I do not recommend Best Image. Plenty of other tinting businesses in the Bay Area. read more

I can't recommend Best Image enough. We've used them for all of our cars and each time the service and results have been fantastic. From first contacting them for a quote to picking up my car after the tinting, the entire process is seamless. Their technicians are real pros who take the time to explain the different options and make sure you get the right tint for your needs. The tinting is perfectly cut and applied with no bubbles or defects. Their attention to detail is impressive. Beyond the excellent technical work, the staff is a pleasure to deal with. They are punctual, friendly, and keep you informed at every step. And the pricing is very fair when you consider the top-notch materials, workmanship and customer service. I never hesitate to bring my new cars to them. Their reliable, high-quality service has made me a loyal customer. I'm happy to recommend them to anyone looking for window tinting done right. read more

Very poor quality! Not sure why there are so many positive reviews on here. Lots of knife marks on the rubber seals of my windows and lots of small bubbles on the windshield and back window. Also when I got my car back it smelled terrible like the tech that installed the windshield tint horribly also forgot to shower and wipe for the past week. Overall very disappointed. read more

Frank and his team are nothing short of amazing! I asked friends and family and checked the yelp community and Best Image came highly recommended. I reached out to Frank through Yelp messaging and he was prompt to respond. I had a pretty big tinting job I wanted done, 4-5 cars and various schedules. Not only did he give me an unbeatable deal for all the cars, he got the first car in the very next day! Who says you can't have Fast, Reasonable and Great?? I wasn't sure which tint I wanted for each car and they helped me decide without pressure or impatience. They're knowledgeable and completely professional. I highly recommend Frank and his team and would only take my cars here from now on. 2 cars down...3 cars to go read more

If you're looking for a descent spot to have your windows tinted, this is the place. All of their staff was very kind and their prices were very reasonable.

Hands down the best in the Bay! Reasonable pricing for the high quality of work. They did a great job at tinting 5 rear windows plus the 2 front windows on a Ford Escape. Exactly what I was expecting and they are quick in service. Very satisfied with the work. Also this place bakes the windows so you're able to lower your windows upon leaving the shop so that is something different than having to wait for drying time. Overall, very satisfied with their work and come highly recommended! read more

The team at best image did it again! I have took multiple cars here through out the years and they never disappoint.

The job came out flawless, I would def recommend anyone to come here to get their windows tinted. The shop is located near downtown San Mateo, plenty of parking spaces. read more

This review is not about the quality of the work, but the customer service, or lack thereof. Let me list the two issues here: 1. I brought my car in to get a 3M tint on the front windshield - I made that very clear with the lady at the front desk. Three hours later, I find that they instead put a Johnson tint. When I told the woman about this, she said that I told her that that's the brand I wanted. So your business blames the customer? I thought the customer is always right but I guess this chick doesn't get it. 2. Earlier today we came in to get a tint and got there early to be the first in line (as they do first come first serve on Saturdays as opposed to their appt setup on weekdays). When we got there, some dude came 15 mins after we did. This same lady who works there came right after and saw that we were first. When she opened the door, homeboy who came after us ran past us to get in first. And this same chick made him the first appt?! At other places the clerks will tell people that someone else was before them. The sad thing is that their quality of work is outstanding - no complaints there. However, customer service is the other part of the service industry. We will not be going back here and I'm already spreading the word to my partners looking to get their car tinted. read more

DONT TAKE YOUR CARS HERE!!! To start off. I'm very meticulous about my cars so i asked the receptionist if she can please tell the worker to be careful with the car and install. After the car was done I noticed the worker damaged my cars window gasket (on both sides) while installing the film. I know this because i was vlogging the whole process and provided him video of me filming my car outside of his establishment. I contacted the owner Frank and provided images. And instead of being understanding he started getting extremely defensive! horrible business owner etiquette. He makes me wait two weeks so they can redo the tint only to tell me he's never touching my car again... Coward move if you ask me. He ended up getting me the gaskets but essentially banned me from coming back because his worker messed up my car and he didn't want to own up to it. Also very unprofessional to be kissing and hugging your receptionist behind the desk while customers are in the waiting room... read more

This has nothing to do with the tint as I have yet to see how those turned out since they said that it would take about to TWO MONTHS for the bubbles to disappear.
