Darren was super friendly and had great communication throughout the whole process. One of my biggest pet peeves is waiting forever to hear back when trying to book an appointment--but that definitely wasn't the case here! A friend of mine who's really into cars recommended him, so I already had high expectations for the quality of work--and they delivered. I went with the blacked-out tint and my car looks amazing!! Big thanks to Darren and the crew--highly recommend! read more

Took my truck to have it ceramic coated, Darren and his crew did an amazing job!!! very professional, excellent work. Highly recommended

Went here for an emergency tint job for my fiancés truck. Her safety check didnt pass and needed to replace the driver and passenger tint. Planned to drop off the truck the night before due to work. Ended up getting the truck back the same day it was dropped off. They did the work so fast at such a good price. Super fast work with top quality. Will continue to come to these guys for Tinting needs. read more

This place came recommended from a friend. He did such a great job with tinting our Sienna and we would definitely go back if we ever need another tint job. We love how there's also a lifetime guarantee on our tinting and we felt that the pricing was very reasonable. Super friendly and easy to book an appointment. read more

Second vehicle Darren has tinted for me. Both times he's done a great job. He provided tint recommendations. He's quick, does good work, and price is reasonable. Bonus: Custom Autos Accessories is at the same location. Got my car tinted and ceramic coated at the same time. read more

We recently purchased a new vehicle and called around to get quotes for tinting and ceramic coating. After reading reviews and a recommendation from a family member, we decided to go with Darren as his quote had the best value. When we picked up our car after the work was done, Darren explained what was done and how to maintain the coating and tint. The attention to detail on our car was awesome. Going with Darren was an easy decision to protect our new vehicle. Thank you again Darren for your amazing service and quality work. read more

Ceramic coating is a little costly but well worth the money for the added protection and for the convenience of little maintenance. My Corolla Cross has a nice shine and the surface feels smooth. Water beads right off when wet. Easy maintenance - hose off the dirt/dust then just wipe away with microfiber towel. Front windshield clear uv tint keeps the car cool. No need to use windshield covering when parked in the sun. Great products for any type of vehicle. Good service and follow up. Would recommend Darren's Tinting to everyone! read more

Darren is friendly and accommodating. He tinted my son's car and did an excellent job! I will definitely encourage anyone to get your tinting by Darren! read more

Darren has tinted all five of my vehicles, so it only made sense to have him work on my brand-new Taco. I was thrilled to learn he also offers ceramic coating, which I had been wanting to get done as well. With his trustworthy reputation, I was confident in the results, and he didn't disappoint. With friendly, honest, and fair pricing, my truck now looks even more brand-new! I have no excuses to go holo-holo now. Mahalo Darren!! read more

I bought a new small suv vehicle that I finally received April 10th (had put in the order for options, etc back on August 30th of last year). Now was the time to have it tinted like I have done to all my other vehicles in the past. As 'usual', I go to T and T Tinting, having gone there since the mid 1980s, but the location was kind of farther away from where I live at present, so decided on Darren's Tinting. Why Darren's Tinting you might say? Well, I have passed this house for several decades (gotta been the late 1980s) and have always seen the small yellow signs either attached to the home or on the fence line but always thought, "gee... I don't think this guy is making a profit ... he working out of his home...". My brother had his CH-R tinted here back in 2018 upon recommendation from his salesperson at Waipahu Toyota (just down the block). When he had it tinted, I kinda scrutinized the workmanship (as like I said, I have always gone to T and T Tinting) but could not find anything wrong with the workmanship. This made me think hmmm.... maybe the next car I have I will go there. I called about two weeks ago (called at a few minutes past 9am, even though they open at 8:30am as I figure he has customers at the start, so waited for the drop off vehicles' customers to leave ). He confirmed his pricing on the Llumar 'IRX' series tint (presently the highest performance ceramic tint from Llumar for which he is a certified dealer). It would be practically equivalent in specifications to Llumar's 'Formula One's' dealers' 'Pinnacle' series tint. Came today Friday morning for the drop off around 8:30am. You will go to the first house DH side of the bus stop (which is past the Texaco Gas station) --- but note Darren's home has two driveways, so the driveway you will want to go into would be the DH side driveway (not the Ewa side). While there, I tell him the tint shade specifications I want for the front windshield, the panoramic sun roof, the side windows and the rear window. Llumar Air 90 for the windshield (really, with all new cars factory tinted for few decades, don't even think of the Llumar Air Blue 80 as it will NOT satisfy Hawaii's annual Safety Check inspection minimum of allowing the minimum of 70% vehicle light transmittance --- tried that with two vehicles at T&T back in 2010 and 2017, and with the swab of the Air Blue 80, they both tested below the 70% minimum with the tint meter). I chose 40 series for the sunroof (not too dark and not too light) and for the front driver and front passenger windows and the rear back window. I asked that the rear seat windows and quarter panels be tinted with the 35 series (remember, on suvs and trucks you see 'privacy tint', they are NOT exactly tinted to prevent 99% ultraviolet radiation or reduce heat unless they are tinted, such as with the Llumar tint film. Just letting you know, since I still see some tint installers on YouTube not tint the 'privacy tinted' windows on the suv or truck they have, but only tint the front side windows ! Sheesh, they call themselves knowledgeable tinters ? Darren texted me about 6 hours later to say the car was ready and so I got a ride back there. Looked at the workmanship while I was waiting for Darren to come out and finish the transaction. He provided me with Llumar's Limited Lifetime Warranty papers and we went all around the vehicle to discuss related matters on the tinting, etc. I told Darren, look --- no one has taken a picture of you, but I want to when I do my Yelp review ... so I did! So now, you'll know how he looks if you're a first time customer ! Handsome buggah ! So easy to talk to and doesn't push any additional services upon you (he does do ceramic coating though) in a way you would feel ' shame' to say 'no'. Before leaving, we talked a short bit so I tell him my story about how through the many years I've driven by and thought to myself that this guy must be struggling to do business, but from our talk I am happy to say he is quite successful due to 'word of mouth' and also to the many salespersons at Waipahu Toyota that send their customers here for their tinting needs! Gosh, Darren Saiki deserves to be recognized by Llumar for his excellent workmanship and customer service ! Don't hesitate ... workmanship is equivalent to T and T Tinting but at a lesser cost ! Now 'I' know ! read more

He was able to take care of my truck quickly and professionally. Overall pricing was very fair considering the quality of tint being used.

Just bought my Highlander 2022 XLE on Set 8 2022 Thursday and was able to get my car tinted and ceramic coated on Sept 10 Saturday. I was amazed that Darren was able to get started on my car right away. I didn't want to take my car out until it was coated and tinted. Now we're ready to get this car on the road and not worry about this hot Hawaiian sun . Highly recommend Darren's tinting. He'll take good car of your car. Location: don't follow the GPS directions, it'll make you miss his garage. It's a Big brown house after Texaco gas station in Waipahu. It's literally right after the bus stop, so try not to go too fast or you'll miss. read more

We were referred to Darren by many people. Everyone had good good things to say about his workmanship, professionalism and friendliness so of course we took our brand new 2023 BRZ to Darren for ceramic glaze and tint! Two days later we are super happy with the gloss of the paint and the legal tint! I will update after a year or two. read more

Darre'n's Tinting is one of the few places that carries Llumar films. I do extensive research before buying/getting/installing stuff. And what do you know, he also carries the most recommended Llumar Films, the IRX for the windows, and the Air 90 for the windshield. Speaking to Darren as I dropped off the car, I know my car is in good hands. He assured me that he's gonna put extra time to heat dry the windows coz he knew that the Tesla Windows go down a bit when opening the door, and it was also kinda cloudy that day. I highly recommend Darren's Tinting to anybody. read more

Darren did a wonderful job tinting my 2021 Camry. Although I was booked about 2 weeks out , it was worth the wait. He tinted my vehicle with ceramic type tint (Llumar). He stated that If there was any problems To let him know and he'd take care of it. So far so good. No problems whats so ever - quality of work was outstanding. Price was reasonable - just call him up and get a quote. Thanks Darren Aloha. read more

Answered every phone call, all of my questions, one of the most polite people I've met, and his work is incredible. We needed our tint redone as ours was too dark for state standards. He took care of us and I highly recommend using him. So grateful to have found him. Plus supporting local business. Thank you, Darren! read more

What else can I say! His work is amazing! Pricing and work quality can't be matched. I had no worries dropping off my 2022 Tesla Model 3 as I knew it would be in good hands. I got the car tinted about a week ago and when I went to pick up the car he informed me that there was an issue in regards to my front windshield and pointed it out to me which was not noticeable at all. Instead of just leaving it there and not mentioning it to me, he was honest about it and told me to swing on by next week to replace it. Fast forward to today and the car looks amazing! Darren will always be my go to! read more

Best customer service and quality work hands down! Darren is great to work with and takes his time to do great work. Definitely recommend!

Everybody on the west side knows Darren's tinting. Been going to him since my first truck in 1997. Just brought my new Camry in and got the black LLumar tint and the clear windshield UV tint. Awesome job as usual and life time warranty. He works out of his home in Waipahu next to Waipahu Inter. If somebody is picking you up after you drop your car off, just tell them park at the Texaco since his driveway is narrow off the main road. Mahalo braddah Darren read more

Darren took me in on a last minute request. His customer service, workmanship, quality of product and overall honesty is what made me decide to use his services. Read the past yelp reviews and you decide. He runs his business out of his house which is on Farrington Hwy, in the middle of Waipahu intermediate and St. Joseph schools. Will probably be doing a ppf and ceramic coat with him very soon. Thanks again Darren! read more

Awesome tint on my Tesla! Darren was super nice and my car turned out great. I will definitely get my future tinting done by him again.

Excellent quality work with excellent quality tint films. Darren is owner of business and does the work himself so you know the results will be excellent . He tinted my SUV with ceramic film and the results were awesome! Pricing is reasonable and less when compared with others, especially Llumar authorized installers. Tip: Appointments book fast for Saturday, so try to get a weekday appointment if you can. read more

Darren is an impossible guy not to like. Super friendly and easy to talk to. And super knowledgable about his product line. I took my new car to have him tint the windows and he walked me through the different choices, even holding up rolls of tint next to my window to help me select the exact right level for my needs. He is very meticulous and did an absolutely first rate job of tinting the windows at a very reasonable price. He and his team (as well as Kolu and his team from Custom Auto Accessories) were so friendly, we ended up talking story about our cars and trading ideas for how to fix them up. I had a fantastic experience from start to finish with Darren and recommend him highly! Thanks Darren! read more

Highly recommended! Friendly, honest, reasonable, and the main thing, he knows what he is doing. I have had many cars tinted, through all my experiences, Darren has the best craftsmanship and touch, totally blown away from the results. read more

Darren's Tinting - Home Window Tinting Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

*Updated review since 6 months ago* Darren did a tinting job half a year ago on a Corolla S that I owned until I decided to trade that car in for the Toyota 86 2017 model (was previously known as the Scion FR-S) in which I automatically had to get Darren to do tinting again. I did research on the best tint that's available for automobiles and I decided that ceramic window tinting would fit my needs best. Although several websites mentioned that it would be noticeably more expensive than other tint types, Darren, always expected, charged me a rather "consumer friendly" rate for his high quality ceramic tinting for all sides and rear windows. I turned in my car to Darren at around 3:45p in which he told me that it would take him a couple hours to get it done. To my surprise it only took him just over one hour to get it done and I quickly picked up my vehicle and paid him his due service. As always, Darren is extremely friendly, reliable, and trustworthy. This man is God's gift to mankind's automotive wants. 5* all the way as expected! read more
