I LOVE my window tints. I've had them for about 2 years now and they're perfect. The guys were able to finish the job in 30 mins since all of them happen to be in the shop at the time! My car feels so much cooler inside during the summer time, and I love the rejection of the UV. For reference, this is 15%. They're very knowledgeable about tint percentages, types of tints, and how it would look depending on the interior. I have the macchiato beige leather seats in my Mercedes, and they advised me accordingly. Ladies, or guys, if you're looking to prevent some weird tans on one arm or freckle spots, this is THE place to go. The price is competitive. If you want it done right, and will last, this is that one and done shop. I WILL be coming back for that ceramic coating when I'm able to, my car needs it bad. I love their mentality of treating their clients as family, cause that's the type of trust you want in a shop. You sincerely will not regret going to these guys, they're worth every penny. read more

Honestly, i was on the hunt for a good place to trust my car with wrapping it. I called probably everyone possible in the valley that does wraps. But when i called Essential tints, they basically broke down everything i was looking for and even told me i can come by and check out the wraps they have in person. So after going there and meeting with the team, Sam, Martin, and John. They all kind of broke down the best options for me to move forward (considering I will have my car for 7-10 more years). They then introduced to me something called "Color PPF". and When i first heard it, i was thinking okay that sounds dope but what's the price tag..? Turns out vinyl wrap that every shop uses, lasts only like 3 years or so, while the colored PPF lasts 7-10 years. And when you're already considering to pay a good amount of money to get a car wrapped, why not put in a little bit more and get the best possible results. I cannot explain the ease of the whole thing. I also had them redo my tint and wow the difference is worldly. To be honest, the biggest thing that made me wanna get it done with essential tints, is the fact that they offer a loaner car... i've NEVER seen a shop do that. only dealerships. They did a fantastic job on it honestly i don't have anything but great words because my car is truly 1-1 now. (even if it's just a "tesla") So thank you John, Sam, and Martin and your whole crew for this amazing job done. 10/10 will definitely be coming back with more cars and need to get more tints done on mine read more

Excellent work and worth every penny. Highly recommend! Just had my car windows tinted here and the results are outstanding. The tint looks factory-perfect -- dark, uniform, with zero bubbles, creases, or dust. Edges are clean even on the curved rear glass. My car stays much cooler now, glare is gone, and the privacy is exactly what I wanted. The installer was professional, explained everything clearly, and took time to get it right. read more

Essential Tints - Car Window Tinting Near Me - Canoga Park, California

I had such a bad experience with another company doing my tint on my brand new Tesla. Essential Tint had to remove the tint, which was quite extensive, then get all the adhesive off the windows before they could begin the replacement, they graciously gave me a loaner car since it was very labor intensive and was going to take a day longer. I also decided to have my car clay coated so that took a little bit extra time as well, but was well worth it! All that to say the tint and coating came out beautifully. The surface of my car is so soft and now well protected with a warranty. Sam and John were great and kept me informed on the status of my car. Look at the reflection on my Tesla Y! read more

These guys took care of me. I can't recommend anyone else but these guys. My PPF needed a refresh and they did it right. It feels like my car is brand new again. Definitely bringing my other car here. read more

I found Essential Tints through ChatGPT while looking for a professional shop to ceramic coat my Crystal Black Pearl Honda CR-V. From my first phone call, I could tell I was dealing with a knowledgeable and professional team. All my questions were clearly answered, and I felt confident choosing them. Special thanks to Sam for his professionalism and great communication. The quality of the ceramic coating exceeded my expectations, and the job was completed beautifully and on time. I highly recommend Essential Tints to anyone looking for high-quality ceramic coating in the Valley. Thank you for the excellent work! read more

Huge shout out to Sam for doing such a great job on my tints. He was extremely professional and super friendly and made sure I got everything I needed/wanted. The service was done at a reasonable time ~ 2.5 hrs And for the price, it was quite reasonable as well. $680 for all around 50% for the front, 30% first two, 15% other two, and 5% back. And I have to say she looks great I highly recommend anybody who is looking to get their car done. Thank you to Sam and John!! Can't wait for it to fully set read more

Essential Tints has some of the best customer service I've experienced. Everyone is always smiling, genuinely engaged, and just as excited about your project as you are. They were professional, transparent throughout the entire process, and took the time to explain everything, which really showed they care about their customers. I had a small job done--installing satin PPF on my 2026 GR RAV4--and I couldn't be happier with the results. I'm beyond excited with how it turned out! I'll definitely be coming back for future work and wouldn't hesitate to trust them with my vehicle again. Highly recommend! read more

Jon and his team at Essential Tints LA are the absolute best true masters of their craft. I brought in my Lexus GX550 and from start to finish they took incredible care of both me and my vehicle. The service was top-tier, professional, and detail-oriented. You can genuinely tell they love what they do and take pride in the process and that passion shows in the final result. I had PPF installed along with full ceramic tint, and the car looks phenomenal clean, flawless, and exactly what I was hoping for. If you're looking for high-quality work, honest expertise, and a team that treats your car like their own, this is the place. Highly recommend Essential Tints LA. read more

Great experience! Sam was very friendly and knowledgeable. The job was completed fast and looks perfect! Highly recommend!

Very professional. Loved my tint quality . Definitely recommend! Will come back for my windshield.

Shopped around before I called Essential Tints. The other places didn't get back to me with a quote until almost a week later. When I called Essential Tints, I was able to talk to the team the same day, and got a quote the same day. They gave me the best rate out of all the other shops I called. Super friendly and really knowledgeable. I wanted to do a PPF on a 2025 Porsche Panamera and also tint the windows, and as you can see, the job came out amazing. The car was at their shop for a week, but they have a Tesla loaner that you can borrow in the meantime. This is the first time I hear of a loaner which was awesome because they also include the charging while your car is at the shop. Picked up the car a week later due to the size of the job, but I'm really happy with the way it came out. It makes the car look custom after applying the satin PPF. Also, I really appreciate the recommendation of the Smokey headlights because it makes the car stand out more. I ended up taking another car for window tinting after this job. They only offer one type of ceramic tinting, but it's the best quality you can get. Can't complain on that aspect. Really makes the car less hot during the peak summer days. The thing that stood out the most was that a month after getting the PPF done on the car, someone hit my car with their door and ripped part of the PPF on the handle. Took the car back to the team after getting a quote to get it fixed, but at the end, they replaced it for free! Their customer service is really unmatched. I really cannot recommend them enough. Best quotes around and an amazing knowledgeable team. Thank you guys! read more

The customer service is beyond compare! I was so impressed with their friendliness and patience. My minivan looks amazing!

Highly recommend Essential Tints for all your paint protection film needs. When I first called them the team answered all my extensive questions and really made sure I knew exactly what was going to be done and set clear expectations from the beginning. I originally wanted to go with gloss but after looking at the XPEL stealth ppf I was completely sold. It changed my cars original paint to a satin finish which came out incredible. You can tell they really care about your car and our passionate about what they do! Thanks again guys! read more

This was an amazingly easy experience. Gave me up front pricing that was reasonable and John was super respectful and helpful. Nobody thought my older Nissan Altima was beneath doing a beautiful tint job, even though they had many higher end cars there. The waiting room was clean and comfortable. before I left, they explained the maintenance and what to expect so I wouldn't be surprised and reminded me that they have a lifetime warranty. I left feeling very satisfied. I would highly recommend Essential Tints LA! read more

Essential Tints is your one stop shop for everything automotive care. When I first called them, Jon answered the phone and was able to give me a price for full body XPEL PPF as well as a ceramic coating. PPF is really hit or miss depending on the installer, and i can tell you that Essential Tints is a hit (see images below). I cannot recommend Jon and Sam enough when it comes to PPF and ceramic coating. After they installed the PPF, they had me come back a few weeks later to touch up any air pockets that may have formed while the film was curing. PPF was installed with precision being that all edges that could be tucked, were. If you need anything done to your car from PPF, ceramic coatings, to even installing cosmetic parts, essential tints is the place to go. Jon and Sam are great and they treat each car that goes through them as their own. Thanks again Jon and Sam. Be in touch soon! read more

Wanted to give a review a week after my tints were installed. Overall the XPEL Prime XR Black nano ceramic tint is perfect for my 26 Civic Sport. I chose the lifetime warranty for flexibility reasons if I need to change up the tints at a future date. Highly recommend an appointment in advance as they can only operate one car at a time. Thanks again guys! read more

Great service all the way through. I'm very pleased I chose Essential Tints for my tint project. The team was very responsive of my questions and concerns while I was researching for this project. The waiting area is very clean and relaxing with full amenities. Snacks, drinks and media. Martin and I believe John were extremely nice and detailed. Pricing is very competitive compared to other quotes I received. As of right now I am 4 days out from the completion of the project. I can tell a difference in not only the quality but also performance of the tint application I got which was the Phantom S9. Excellent heat reduction and the Smokey gray color tone it has compared to my previous tint which was turning brown. Also there is a lifetime warranty on the tint. Cant beat that. Thanks again for the excellent job. read more

Just had my car tinted here, it was the second time I've used them. The workmanship is 10 out of 10, but what really set them apart is their amazing customer service and the pleasant experience you have when coming here. It's so common lately for businesses to be unpleasant and unwelcoming, but this business is the exact opposite of this.

Essential Tints - Tinted fronts to get an even, clean look. - Car Window Tinting Near Me - Canoga Park, California

I recently bought a brand new vehicle and wanted to get it tinted since my new seats are leather and because some privacy would be nice. I'm new to the area as I moved to Woodland Hills last year so wasn't too sure where to go. Within 15 minutes of asking for a quote Martin got back to me almost immediately and provided me with some answers and a great price. I decided to wait until end of day and check out some more options, but towards the end of the day I realized that Essential Tints was going to be my spot. Martin and his team not only provided amazing customer service, but they also took the time to explain the different types of services they provide and which service would be best for me. I respect this highly because of instead just recommending the most expensive package they listened to my needs and we picked out the perfect tint without breaking the bank. The team at Essential Tints are very passionate about what they do and it truly reflects in their work. They create a fun environment while also providing an amazing experience. I loved the whole experience the first time that I had booked another appointment to make my existing rear tint darker. Overall highly recommend them, and will be back to book an appointment for the paint protector package. You won't be disappointed! read more

I couldn't be happier, I mean they literally did it all from satin PPF, the carbon fiber body kit, the wheels etc...and the service, the passion they have for cars and the way they pay attention to every detail is next level! I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND! They're the best in the game by FAR! read more
