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.
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!
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
Had to get my terrible wrap job/scam from a different shop removed... Essential Tints was willing to help and remove the other shop's sketchy work for a fair price. Very professional, friendly and honest. From Martin, John, Sam and Daniel-- all are great people who go the extra mile, and I'm sure others I didn't meet are the same. Thanks again
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!
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!
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!
They did an amazing job!! Thank you Essential Tints.! Till the next time. Highly recommend this place.
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!
Awesome service, fast, great quality, and very reasonably priced. Sam and Martin were great to work with.
Jon and Sam are stand up gentlemen and very attentive to their customers needs and vision... Not only did they help with my gorgeous color ppf wrap but they also helped custom paint my front grill and rear diffuser from Japan.... They car looks showroom and gets heads to turn... For a 10 yr old car that's quite amazing .... I will be taking all my cars and referring all my friends and family to them for anything wrap or tint related!!! A+ work!!!! Check for yourself everyone!!
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.

Let's start off with that this team was very responsive on Yelp when I had started a project and needed my Audi tinted. The prices did not change when I came in which if you've ever tinted your windows you know happens often. Transparency and class is the name of the game here. They go over the types of film available here and offer a no pressure pitch on either film. They do accept both Card and or cash and are very friendly, and efficient. The entrance is a bit hard to find, as it's in a warehouse setting but it's essentially the last unit in that cluster. I've had no bubbles in my windows and was surprised at the cozy tv and lounge area which was nice. You get great value and quality work. I'd definitely come back and recommend them! read more

I was looking for a shop to tint my new Tesla for a few weeks now. A lot of tinting shops were quoting fairly high to include the glass roof but the guys here gave me a quote that was pretty much unbeatable. Especially given the quality of the tint they had, this was easily the best call to make. The shop is beautiful and honestly looks like a showroom. There's even a lounge where you can hang out and watch TV while they work on your car. They provide some snacks and drinks in case you get a little hungry. I honestly haven't seen a tint shop with a lounge so that was a nice surprise. I took the car in but during the initial visit, there was an issue with their cutting machine. They said they'd call me back as soon as they got their machine tuned, and would schedule a new appointment as soon as possible. Two days later, they called me back and I was the first appointment the following morning. They got my car in and out in less than two hours. John and Martin are super cool and really know their stuff. Honestly can't recommend these guys enough and I'll be taking my car back in to get ceramic coating done. read more

I found essential tints online and right away when I called they were attentive and worked with me. I have a 2025 Lexus GX 550. Sam and John both were able to answer all my questions and got me settled in right away. After I decided that I wanted to go with tint on all windows as well as the clear PPF on the front of the car they explained the process to me and were kept me up to date on progress. The car was there for a week and I wasn't worried at all. The professionalism of the team everyone who worked on my car was outstanding. The end product was even better. I recommend them to anyone who is looking to get any work done (tint/PPF). Prices were fair and craftsmanship was amazing. Once I received my car after the week I brought it back for touch ups and they were attentive to all the detail. My car is protected and looks great. Thank you guys for all your hard work. I will definitely be referring friends and family to have all work done from them ! read more

After calling countless tint shops for estimates on my new tesla model 3 highland, Essential Tints provided me with the best price and on top of that, for ceramic film! They offer very competitive pricing and offer high quality tints, so it was a no brainer choosing this spot. Just about everywhere else was quoting me higher prices just for regular film. They even offered a complimentary loaner which is unheard of! Overall, amazing service and an amazing job done, highly recommend. I did 5% all around. Few months in and still looks beautiful and flawless. These guys are the real deal. read more

I recently had my C63s wrapped at Essential Tints, and I couldn't be happier with the results! The team was incredibly professional and paid attention to every detail. They applied a brushed titanium wrap and the quality of it is exceptional, and it looks absolutely stunning. Also they installed a full carbon fiber kit all around my car. They transformed my car completely, and I've been getting compliments everywhere I go. If you're considering getting your car wrapped, I highly recommend this place. They exceeded all my expectations! Thank you ETLA!!! read more

Smooth and quick experience. I have a new car so they handled it with care. They gave me an affordable quote for very good quality ceramic tint. I was able to take it in the next day and it was done in a few hours. You can tell the employees are knowledgeable in their field. I'm always mindful of being scammed or treated with disregard as a woman when getting any car work, but everyone was super patient, helpful, and respectful. No shady practices or trying to push other services. Highly recommended! read more

These guys wrapped my tesla super clean. Gave it a whole new look. By far the best pricing for a wrap I have heard of as well. Got my car wrapped, new tints, headlight/rear light smoke, and ceramic coat all for the price of what other spots charge for only the wrap! Would return again for car modification needs in the future ! read more

Essential Tints exceeded my expectations when tinting my Model 3 Tesla with precision and care, using the S9 Ceramic Tints. Their thorough explanation of tint percentages and live demonstration with a heat lamp comparing clear windows, S5 tints and S9 tints not only helped me make an informed decision on what I wanted but was a unique feature that makes them different from other companies. The waiting area reflected their commitment to customer comfort - it was extremely clean and stocked with snacks, water, and coffee. What also surprised me was the PS5 they had, offering an entertaining distraction while waiting for the tinting process to finish. It was a thoughtful and unique touch that truly made the experience better while waiting with my friend. Thank you so much Martin and John for your outstanding service today!!! Your professionalism and detail to amazing customer service made things a million times better. 10/10 They also offer other services like car wraps and ceramic coats. Will definitely be recommending others for all of their services. read more
