Receipt showing lifetime warrenty

DONT TRUST THEM THEY DO NOT HONOR WHAT THEY SAY OR WHAT IS ON THE RECEIPT. I had my sunroof and back lights tinted. The tint has been peeling off of the back lights and I remembered when I went in, I was told I would have a lifetime warranty, as i had initially went in just for a sunroof tint. When I called a week ago to discuss the lifetime warranty, I was told that it was a mistake and they could not re-tint my back lights. The woman tried telling me they could not guarantee that because of rain ec. I advised that was not what I was told and my receipt says lifetime as they upsold me. Im disappointed and encourage people to go somewhere, where they honor what they say and right.

unevenness but the flaw isn't noticeable when windows are up. Tint: Johnson ceramic 35%

I needed a window tint last minute and Cali Tint pulled through! I had recommendations from 3 others so I decided to go with Cali Tint vs other shops. I opted for the ceramic tint instead of the non-ceramic ($100 difference). The difference is noticeable in terms of heat retention. My car feels cooler when entering which is great--especially since my car is black and has leather accents. I also have a rear dash cam that they were able to remove and re-install during the tinting process. I opted for 20% tint on the rear. If you have a rear dash cam, I recommend trying out the tint before committing. Just ask for a sample. Came in for my appointment at 11 am and they finished before 1 pm. My only suggestion is to have maybe a bell nearby near the reception area as it was a little confusing trying to hunt down someone to help me at first.

I've been wanting to get my windows tinted for so long and I finally got mine done today! I'm so happy with the result, price, and the people!! I highly recommend this place!

Same day service for ceramic tint! Quality ceramic tints were installed in my Lexus RX 350 f sport and I could not be more happy! Thank you for great customer service and price! I contacted other shops before hand and one guy was giving me all types of prices and I was looking to spend close to 1k. Cali tint took care of that real quick!

Few months after this review I brought in my fiancés car for tinting. I was a little surprised to find the price go up for the same tint but regardless we got the car tinted because Peter's service won us over again. Fast forward to just a few weeks ago. I'm shopping around to get my own car tinted. I reach out to Cali Tint and a few neighboring places. I find that Cali Tint is again on the higher priced side but figured I know their quality control and went with them. Sadly, the same love & care was not put into my car. I reached out to Peter a few times asking if I can come in to have just the passenger window that looks extra bad fixed but I haven't heard back. Posting this review in hopes Peter will notice since he hasn't been replying to my messages. I've added photos of the window and my conversation as well for reference.

Cali Tint is very accommodating. Same day appointments to have you in and out around the 2 hour mark. I reached out to Peter who took care of me. Peter and Yudith showed their dedication by staying several hours after closing to make sure they finished my car and I was happy with the job. Can't wait to see how the ceramic tint holds up and is backed by a lifetime warranty should any repairs be necessary. I recommend the team at Cali Tint who provides fair pricing and quality. Thank you Peter and Yudith!

Took my s580 to tint they did a great job. Great price. It was a really great price. Cheaper and better then so many shops. Service was great.

I had just bought a Honda Accord and had forgotten how much I dislike the clear stock windows! I sent out a few requests for quotes on yelp and Yudith was one of the fastest to get back to me. Her pricing was fair and when I asked about a competitor deal she not only honored it but she beat it! They came out to my place of work within a few hours and did the job quickly, with no bother to my day! It came out great and I paid on the spot without event leaving work! I'll definitely use them again :)

See all

Where things started to slip was on the pickup side. I was told the car was ready, but still ended up waiting about 30-40 minutes before actually getting it. At checkout, I was also surprised to see a tip screen with suggested amounts that felt pretty high given the service. I ended up leaving a small tip, but the experience itself didn't really match that level of expectation. I also would have appreciated a quick walkthrough of the work that was done--especially at that price point--but it was more of a quick handoff of the keys. I came back for the 10-day follow-up and made a point to ask about timing ahead of time. I was told it would take about an hour. I arrived early, but after an hour the car hadn't been touched yet, and there wasn't any update unless I asked. That part was frustrating. So, they ended up rushing my 10-day follow-up inspection. Gave the car a quick rinse and handed me the keys. What was the point of driving down from Carlsbad??? Over 3 hours wasted. For comparison, I had a great experience at their Kearny Mesa location previously, so I know what they're capable of. This location is stretched thin, which seemed to impact communication and overall service. I was not the only customer in the lobby feeling this way. Given the type of clientele they're working with and the pricing, I was expecting a bit more consistency and attention to detail. Their follow-up consisted of more sales pitches of coupons for services I already had done. Would have been nice to have the discounts PRIOR to the work! I planned on using the wash program and mentioned to Jasmine my poor service experience. Think there was follow-up? Nada. So, thumbs "kind of" up for Ceramic Pro but thumbs down for this location. Overall, I think the company itself does good work, and have used the Kearny Mesa location in the past several times with excellent success!! I would not choose this location again.

Jose helped me out at the shop and on the phone beforehand too, making sure I was comfortable with the options and answering all my questions with patience and professionalism. I was super happy with the job, especially with the attention to detail my Subie with all the differently shaped windows required. There's a lifetime warranty for any issues down the road, and I can happily report that a year later, there has been zero bubbling. Thank you to Candra and to the gentlemen at the shop for the superb work, service, AND flexibility! Highly recommend this shop with the most competitive prices in the area!

I asked for a tint quote online and was excited about the fair price plus great reviews. I took it in for tent and a stereo install. He pretended he knew everything about my car and had to charge me $500 to install the stereo. He said he needed to cut the wood around the stereo and that's why it cost so much. I told him that's the wood has already been cut but yet he wanted to keep the price at $500. When we began talking about the tint, he also said now that he sees the car in person he has to charge $1300. That is $500 more than what he quoted online. But somehow, now he didn't know anything about the number of windows or my car... he did when we were talking about the stereo. I was excited to drop off my car and he knew it. This is what we call BAIT AND SWITCH. I know it's a classic car, but it seems like he and everyone else wants to rip me off. I left a shop, extremely disappointed and with heartache.
