Before I got into detail about Eclipse's wonderful job on my 350z, I first want to talk about my previous experience not even 2 weeks ago.
I first started this long journey online looking at different tint brands and the best quality I could find. Looking online everyone was saying that the 3M product gave the darkest black that you could get. Because my car is white I decided that I would want a tint film like that. I used to work at a tint shop myself quite a while ago as a car runner and I know how important the tint was, but also the installer. So I started looking.
Looking around on Yelp, since it has been a great place to find good shops, I found a dealer that does 3M tinting. I will not name the company since the issue was resolved, but I found them on Yelp and ask them about tinting my car. I was pretty clear about the limo tint around the car, as my lancer has that exact limo tint on it as well. After the install, I confirmed with the lady at the desk that it was infact limo even though it seemed a bit light. After not being able to get over the fact that it didn't seem dark enough, I looked at the receipt and sure enough it said that the front windows were 35% and the back was the limo at 5%. It was very disheartening that 5 star tint shop on Yelp let me down in this way, so I cautiously looked for someone else to tint my car, again.
Luckily, this is where I found Eclipse and a couple other high ranking tint shops. All the reviews were fantastic and after sending a message to a couple companies, I really liked the clarity that Eclipse replied with. I did think it was a bit strange that they didn't have a way for me to message them on Yelp but that was okay. So I went to their site to read more about them and I saw there was a option to talk to someone via chat from the site. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but I wanted to go over the details that I got via email on what I wanted to do. I talked to Lee Anne Migray who manages the office and she was absolutely outstanding to talk to. She answered all my questions that I had and was able to make an appointment. Not only that but I had a couple set backs that forced me to need to reschedule, I called in and she remembered talking to me and what my car was which is crazy! She happily changed my installation date and also confirmed the day before to make sure I remembered.
The install was completely fantastic. After talking to Eclipse I decided to do 5% all the way around like I wanted in the first place with the previous company, and I also decided to get the whole windshield tinted 80% to help with UV rays, as well as a windshield strip at the top mostly for looks. Eric was right in the window that I was told he would be in. Not only that but Eric clarified what tint percentage and what was being done to the car to make sure there were no mistakes. He took my keys and was ready to go. I asked him how long it would take and he told me about two hours and he was right on.
The car is a night and day difference with the tint. Me and Eric both talked about how different the car looked and also talked about my previous experience. Believe it or not Eric used to work in the same tint shop as my previous companies owner, but how different both of them are. Not only that but Eric was even able to take cards! I felt bad that I didn't have cash on me but Eric assured me it wasn't a issue.
A huge thank you to the Eclipse Window Tinting team, you really came through where the other company couldn't. Also being mobile saved me a huge hassle! read more
