Chris is someone I knew all the way from high school! Class of 2001. So when I say old school, we are old school. He's a good guy. That being said, he is damn good at what he does - and he does it for less than anyone I've ever seen - it is a great deal. The shop may not be the most amazing looking, but he does a perfect job and is honest about what needed to be done. I assumed I needed to do full car tint and he pointed out that only the front and drivers side/passenger side didn't have tint - so there was no point in tinting the whole car. So price drop + good service. Not a "whee I can sell more services on you/make more money!". There really isn't too much to be said about tints on a car, but I was doing it out concern for a family situation. There was some unfamiliarity with tints on my side - so I didn't realize there is a sort of "temporary bubbling" that goes away after ~24 hours of curing, but all in all - if I ever need tints again, I will go here. read more

I had my car windows tinted here yesterday, and I couldn't be happier with the results! This is the 3rd car Ive had tinted put on at candy customs .The whole process was quick, professional, and stress-free. Kris helped me choose the right tint for my car, and the quality of his work really shows--clean lines, no bubbles, and it looks amazing. My car feels cooler already, and the tint gives it such a sleek finish. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality window tinting and great customer service. read more

Krys did a phenomenal job on tinting the windows on my BMW 440I! He made sure he knew exactly what I wanted and got the job done super quickly. He sent lots of pictures (and a video of the process!) as soon as my car was done. He was super professional, responsive, and kind.

We need a 10 star rating here. I had the pleasure of being referred to this business by a friend for some work on my vehicle. I called and immediately spoke to owner/operator Chris and made my appointment. The work I had done was done in an extremely timely manner and the price was very reasonable. The work was well done. If you need work on your wheels where customization is concerned I highly recommend Chris. :) read more

I found Car Candy Customs by way of a friend as I was in the market for window tints for my new car. When I met Chris, he was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive to my questions. This all made Chris easy to work with. When I picked up my car and inspected the work, I was unable to find any discrepancy. In our second meeting he was, again, very friendly and easy to work with. All in all, I had a very positive experience and would recommend Chris for your auto tinting needs with an enthusiastic two thumbs up! read more

Best in the business. Starts with Chris's craft and passion for perfection. He will never do you wrong.

I tinted my 2015 Toyota Camry. I previously did my car alarm on a different car years back. I always have a great experience with the owner. Chris is a great guy, very friendly and knows a lot. He answered all my questions as I was trying to find the right tint. For everyone that is shopping around, look beyond the price. If you get along with the business it makes it easier to come back. I will only recommend Car Candy to friends and family. Update: 6/2/18 Referred a friend's Altima to get tinted. Tints are as follows: Toyota Camry: 20% doors, 15% back window Nissan Altima: 35% doors, 20% back window ***Really Important*** If you see any air bubbles, DO NOT MESS WITH THEM. After I got Camry done on a rainy, cold day and the following day I had crazy air bubbles. Thankfully the next two days it was sunny and they eventually go away. This is super common and not to worry about. read more

Kryspy and Konrad did awesome work on my 7 series. I had them tint all the windows including the windshield, this now being my fourth car being done by this shop. The quality of their film is superior to others , you can tell how smooth the film is and how vivid black it is.. Not blue or purple like other tint shops. Also, the quality of the actual labor that goes into tinting Windows is something a lot of car shops lack around here, but not with Car Candy. With the little I saw, cause I was in the waiting room majority of the time, Krypsy and Konrad were spending their quality time on every individual window to make sure it was damn near perfect. Honest work, and quality you can trust. read more

I decided to get my 2018 Volkswagen GTI's windows tinted all the way around (excluding the windshield) and the job that was done by Krys at Candy Car Customs was nothing short of exceptional. For those who aren't aware, the GTI has especially difficult tiny windows that are located adjacent to the side-view mirrors and this difficult task was handled with a true craftsman's touch. I won't lie, I had been nervous to get this done considering tinted windows can go so wrong and quickly cheapen the look of a vehicle if handled improperly. That was certainly not the case here. My car has been transformed in the best of ways. I highly recommend Krys and this shop! read more

I have been using this shop ever since my freshman year in high school for anything ranging from tints to audio systems to even advice on products and future projects that I had in mind. The staff is amazingly friendly and keeps a close relationship to its customers, which just brings a happy atmosphere to the whole place. This kept me come back over and over again for any car project I had because I felt like I was coming to a place where they cared about my car as much as I did unlike most of the shops out there. They also always offered the best deals and never made me feel like I was just a money pit (which is usually the case). Besides all this I have never met anyone more skilled in tint installation than Chris (shop owner), which comes out perfect every time and seems like it's second nature to him. I was very surprised to not find a review for this place yet and I am very happy to be the first. Let's end this rant and I'll just finish by saying that this shop has earned my loyalty eternally and I will always stand by my word when saying that this shop will take care of you and your vehicle unlike any other. read more

If your looking for honest quality work this is the place to go! I had my windows tinted as well as a stereo and automatic start installed and everything was done with great quality! I had an issue with my radio that was installed and without hesitation Chris told me to bring it back in he would take a look and replace it if needed and that's exactly what was done. Great customer service and very clean work. I Would definitely recommend this place ! read more

Called in Saturday morning and was able to walk in that afternoon to get my car tinted. Chris did an awesome job and was just all around cool to talk to and work with. Competitive pricing as well for quality work. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Car Candy Customs. I have two kids and bought a car recently that had HID headlights did not work. Chris took the time to make me understand what the problem was. He is an absolute genius with cars. He also installed DVD players in my SUV and I have not had a problem. His professionalism, talents, and knowledge has earned him a customer for life. read more

Have had 3 cars tinted and an alarm installed. I won't go anywhere else. Best prices. Best at what they do. AAAAAA++++

I just want to tell people to be careful when bringing their car here, not professional by any means. I had came to him with a basic sub and amp install, he wired them incorrectly which is resulting my sub to cut in and out. Also, when he thought there was an amp issue we took everything out of my trunk, and he assured me that all the wires in the back were dead and wouldn't be a problem.. turns out they were live wires that I was driving around with. BAD customer service and BAD service, and will never admit if he is in the wrong. Difficult to communicate with and get him to actually help out with HIS install. Finally, someone other than CHRIS at car candy was able to figure out my sub issue! If only Chris took the time out of his day to actually look at his install, he would've realize the the box was the issue all long. He hooked the wires in their incorrectly and the terminal was screwed. read more
