Sharon L.

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

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!

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!

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!!

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. I will continue to use these guys and I would highly recommend them to anybody looking for quality service for their next vehicle.

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.

Jon, Sam, and all the guys at Essential Tints were amazing to work with! They are very detail oriented and did a superb job with the tint and ceramic coating process. My car was at their shop for a few days but they provided updates throughout the process which helped build trust so I realized my car was in good hands. They are very knowledgeable and answered all my questions right away as well. I highly recommend! Their professionalism is unmatched!

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

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

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.

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

I've had my car tinted 3 times at 3 different tint shops. Each time I left , I wasn't happy with the results (bubbles, scratches, quality) I've taken Uber to go back home & pick up my car at tint shops before but since I live far Ive stayed and waited. Just waiting alone was a great experience , they have a variety of snacks and even video games. These guys love what they do and that meant a lot to me because they cared about the results. They took the time to discuss the options I had and were patient enough to listen to my questions and concerns. I left as a very happy customer. I don't normally write reviews unless they ask it of me, but I can honestly say this place needs to have their praises given . I'll never be hitting up another spot again , if I could go back in time this would be the ONLY place I'd go to have my car taken care of . If you're ever worried about how your tint job is going to turn out, rest assured this is the place you should go to. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH ! read more

I want to start by saying that I have never experienced such amazing customer service and dedication within a business than here at Essential Tints. I've been wanting to get my Ford Bronco's windows tinted for quite some time now, but never fully trusted tint shops in LA up until I stumbled across the Essential Tints instagram page. I automatically knew that i'd be happy with the end result of my car and contacted the shop right away. Upon arriving at the shop, i noticed that it had a very modern and sleek touch which is one of its aspects that caught my attention. The owners were very welcoming and informed me on the two types of films they offered and their benefits. I knew i wanted the best of the best so I decided to go with the S9 option on my rear windshield, door, and quarter windows. All i have to say is wow! They put so much care into making sure the final product was perfect and it truly was. Pricing was also unmatched. I will definitely be coming back soon to get my front windows and windshield done as well. Thank you Essential Tints you guys were extraordinary! read more

Would give a 10/5 if possible. Essential Tints did not disappoint. Their service was beyond what I expected. The workers were very punctual and took their time with their work. I did not think it was possible to not feel heat in my car, but after they recommended ceramic S9 tints, I will never go back. Which its also perfect for the summer! I feel no heat and the results are impeccable! I have referred a couple people and they were beyond satisfied as well. Their level of professionalism was beyond spoken about! I enjoyed my visit immensely and will definitely be going to them in the future. Thank you once again! read more

Pricing is also so reasonable, they're so nice and do a great job and pay great attention to detail.

Before coming to this place I was very impressed by the reviews and the amount of detail they have on their website. I talked to a man on the phone and he explained to me what ceramic tint is and why it's important to have, especially here in Los Angeles. The price was reasonable and I was already heading to this place with high expectations and they clearly didn't disappoint with the service. Excellent job by the team, they killed it and also shout out to Sam for being honest and cool about the service. read more
