They did a great Tint job on my new car , they were fast and friendly. I highly recommend them to everyone

The day I purchased my new vehicle, I actually called Carl to see if he could squeeze me in the same day. He said yes, we can get you in, in 2 hours. Had some luck there with an available slot, same day for my new ride. I would highly recommend calling ahead to setup an appointment with Carl. The craftsmanship is second to none. Prices are very good as well. read more

The quality of service and tints is amazing, Matt and Niles both were very good and committed to doing an awesome job. Affordable prices and the waiting time was better than expected. Was quoted about an hour and half for the whole process and was in and out in just about an hour. Love the way my car looks even more after the 25% tint all around. read more

Carls window tint is the place to go. Years ago when I got my first car tinted I met him at my friends shop, he was doing a job most professionals couldn't do. He was doing the rear window for a old Corvett stingray. The owner said he went to multiple places that said they couldn't do it. He ripped out the tint, laid it out and perfectly made sure there wasn't a single bubble. They guy was schooled, he didn't think that could happen and so fast. I have watched him and his team do multiple cars a day years ago before he had a single stand alone shop. This is the place you want to go to get it done right the first time. On my cars I'm a fan of tinting all the way around. Keep it looking smooth and flowing with your car. It looks blocky when you have the backs tinted stock and not the fronts. To keep it legal on my car I have 35% all the way around and I got the back window a little darker. Since there is so much light coming from the front window if you darken the back a little more I think it makes it look better and is nicer on the highway when trucks are behind you. On my Jeep Grand Cherokee it has 25 percent stock on all windows but the front and the two front doors. As they recommend it's hard for your eye to tell between 10 percent. So your safe with anything you want to go with on the front of your car. All of there products are Suntek. They have a lifetime guarantee as long as your didn't cause the damage. I have used the carbon series for all of mine. They have two other types but the carbon is the most common. So stop on by. read more

Carl Darling Window Tinting - Car Window Tinting Near Me - McHenry, Illinois

The tinted my new Audi A6 and did a nice job. They were prompt and the workmanship was excellent. I am pretty critical and have to say I was impressed with the outcome. I have tinted windows myself and everything was done very well after inspecting their work. The film is nice as I was used to 3m film on previous cars . It has held up fairly well other than my mistake of something sharp rubbing on a rear window that scratched the film. I will be taking it there to replace the film. Recommendation: I would highly recommend using Carls shop. Quick turn around Fair price Quality work Local business to support Enjoy your tinted windows at their shop. read more

Absolutely spectacular work! Went in, and a super friendly group of people helped me decide exactly what tint to get. Only took them about 45 minutes to tint all windows except the windshield on my 4 door Volkswagen GTI. Pricing was also very fair for the great service offered! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get their windows tinted. read more

Carl's window tint was recommended to me 10 years ago. I drove almost and hour one way to have them tint my windows. They did an awesome job. 10 years later my tint looks the same as the day it was installed. I just bought a new car and did not hesitate to make the drive again to Carl's. read more

This place is awesome! They are on time, well priced, work quickly, super nice and helpful and best of all... the quality is AMAZING!! I am very type A so I notice little details that most people probably wouldn't and they fixed them right away. My tints look PERFECT! 15/10 would recommend coming here even if it's a drive for you... they are worth it. read more

This place is unbelievable. I took my car here 3 years ago when it was brand new for tints on all passenger and rear windows. The back windows started bubbling so I brought it back and they gave me hell about getting a discount, even though the tint came with a 'lifetime guarantee'. I had decided to go darker with my tints this time around and replaced the tints on the back windshield and other passenger seats as well. It's been about a week and when I was strapping our daughter into her car seat, I noticed that the edges on the back windshield are uneven and the sun shows through them. I called Carl Darlings and they said "well you can bring it here and we will check it out. If it's just the edges then we will just throw some ceramic paint over it to black it out." Really? No apology, no offer for any sort of refund. We live in the city and are not driving an hour away for them to rub a paint marker on it. Terrible customer service all around. The lady always talks to you like you are some sort of nuisance. I do not recommend this place at all and my family will not be coming back here. read more

From the start the employees were very friendly and knowledgeable. I was able to make an appointment for the same day which worked out perfect, not to mention pricing was definitely affordable. Niles was quick, and efficient with tinting the windows. He took the time to show me the different shades, and what would look best for my vehicle. I highly recommend using Carl Darling Window Tinting. read more

I sought out a knowledgeable tint shop that could tint the windows on my recently purchased Acura TSX. I wanted a great job at a fair price, but didn't really want to go too far out of my way to get it done (in the past, I've gone to small shops in Chicago). I called Carl Darling and asked about prices and appointments. The woman who answered was helpful and quoted me $240 for 30% on all windows, and a little more ($20 I think) for a 6" visor on my windshield. I was able to get in for an appointment when it was convenient for me, and it only took about 4 hours from the time I dropped it off until I was able to pick up my car. Carl himself was there to answer any of my questions and, being unschooled at the process of tinting, my concerns of what looked like "bubbles" on my freshly tinted car. I'm sure he realized what I was going to bring up when I told him I "had some concerns," but he went outside with me, listened to my concerns, and explained how the tinting process goes and what I should expect when the tint cures. He was truly professional and took his time to explain everything to me, and also brought me into the work area to look at a car that was being tinted at the time. (Of course, I felt like a dummy, but he didn't make me feel that way!) I also like that they put a yellow reminder notice (to not roll down my windows for several days) hanging from my rearview mirror and taped my window controls with green painter's tape. I can't tell you, out of habit, how many times I tried to roll down my windows even WITH the tape on! =) The tinting itself is under warranty, and Carl gave me the mail-in card with everything filled out (they had me do my part when I arrived) and a stamp, ready to go into the mailbox! He also gave me a copy of the Illinois tinting law with the rest of my paperwork, just in case I get pulled over. All in all, my experience with Carl Darling Window Tinting was great - very detailed, professional, courteous, and thoughtful! Even better, the price was great! I highly recommend them...even if YOU have to drive a little out of your way! read more

Fair price. They are really friendly. Nice and comfortable waiting area. My Camaro looks amazing after their tint job on it. Will be brings all my vehicles here read more

Had my Ford F-150 front Windows tinted less than 1 week ago. Service was great. They spent time explaining different types of tint and tint shade. So far, quality seems good. Cost was reasonable. They have a life time guarantee. I recommend them. read more

Love my tinted windows! Excellent job done very well. Decided on one more window. I'll be back soon.

This place is fantastic! I have been looking to tint my windows for some time now and Carl's kept popping up. They have great reviews so I decided to give them a try. Well they did an awesome job, I am so happy I decided to go there. As soon as you walk in you are greeted and the woman up front takes the time to go over everything with you. The tint looks great and will recommend them to anyone looking to have their windows tinted. read more

Carl does all our cars and trucks ... he did our boat today and it turned fantastic!!! Thanks brother!!! You are the best!!!

I just got my car windows tinted today and could not be happier with the flawless job on the tints :) The Installers were awesome guys and did a great job all around. I was treated well by the office manager. I recommend this place to all. read more

Got to know about this business through my car dealer. Taking appointment was easy. Once at the shop, lady at front desk will walk with you to your car and will suggest the options you can have for window tinting. She is kind enough to provide her frank opinion. It was not like saying yes to everything you say you like. She knows what kind of tinting is legal and what not. She helped me deciding the tinting percentage I need to match with my car's rear windows. The application of tinting was quick and good work done. Best thing is that they covered window operation button with tape. That way, you do not push the windows down by accident. One thing to remember that you cannot roll down windows and cannot touch them for next four days. read more

They did a great job, and are extremely friendly and easy to work with. After noticing some bubbles on the back window after a few weeks, we took my car back and they completely redid the windows. They stand by their product. My windows look fantastic now. read more

I wanted to wait awhile to give this review to see how their tint job held up. I could not be happier with the service, knowledge, and application of the tint. They were all very nice, explained everything to me and it has held up great after 8 months. Comfortable waiting area is nice also. read more

Brought my 2015 Challenger there for tints, for the first time. I've had many cars and trucks tinted thru the years at Mid America, but my friend Craig retired and I needed somewhere to take my vehicles. Heard a lot about Carl from a friend, Bob was right, great place. I met Carl & his sister, down to earth people and very informative. Carl assisted me hands down with figuring out the right shade for my car. He did an Awesum job, very clean and took great care of her. The windows look great. A great experience I will definitely be back there. read more

I just had another friend tell me that their car smelled like smoke after getting it tinted here.

This place was recommended to me by a service technician at a car dealership. I stopped in one day on my way home just to get some estimates. They were able to tint my two front windows that day in about 45 minutes. They came out amazing. I am so happy with the results. They provided great customer service and I've been loving my windows for about a year now. I would definitely recommend this place. read more
