Albert M.

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!

Liza J.

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.

I was looking around to get a tint on my new car and found this place and I'm so happy I did. What made me pick this tint shop over other shops was how modern and professional this place looked. Not to mention how fair the prices are with the quality of the tint. I want to highlight the customer service. The owner made sure from the beginning to the end I was well taken care of. He frequently checked in on me while I was waiting for my car and didn't try to upsell any service. He was straight and honest with me which I appreciate from a business. Lastly, with any service you want someone passionate working with you and the owner really showed it through his work! read more

I was recommended to Essential Tints by a co-worker of mine who had their vehicle ceramic tinted there and one thing I can definitely say is it is unlike any other tint shop I've ever taken one of my vehicles to. The price was the lowest in the area, but not only that the level of professionalism I witnessed was unlike any other. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, I also appreciated how clean and well kept the shop was. As for the services I got my vehicle ceramic tinted all around including the windshield in their s9 option for maximum heat resistance as well their ceramic coating service. I'm very picky with the work done to my car so I made sure to look very close at their work for any defects and I couldn't spot a single one. The tint had no bubbles and was put on perfectly. Now speaking about the ceramic coating can I just say wow. Once they were finished it looked like my car was brand new off the lot with the shine it now had (keep in mind it's a 5 year old car). I'm not the type to leave reviews for businesses let alone this long of one, but this is the one time I had to due to how impressed I was with their overall work, customer service, and of course a huge one, the price difference compared to other nearby shops. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to get their vehicle tinted or ceramic coated I think they offer other options like ppf as well but I'm not sure. Thank you to the Essential Tint crew you guys rock . I also attached some photos of the car after the work they did. read more

Title: Exceptional Auto Window Tinting Experience! I recently had the pleasure of visiting Essential Tints for their window tinting services, and I can confidently say that it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable staff who took the time to explain the various tinting options available and helped me choose the perfect tint for my car. Their professionalism and attention to detail immediately put me at ease, making me feel confident in my decision to trust them with my vehicle. The quality of work performed by Martin and John is truly top-notch. The technicians were meticulous in their application of the tint, ensuring a flawless finish that not only enhances the aesthetics of my car but also provides the privacy and UV protection I was seeking. The precision in their work is a testament to their expertise and commitment to excellence. What sets Essential tints apart is their use of high-quality materials. The window tint they used has proven to be durable, resisting scratches and fading over time. I appreciate that they take the longevity of their tinting seriously, saving me from potential hassles down the road. Moreover, the turnaround time was impressively quick. I dropped off my car in the morning and was pleasantly surprised to receive a call in the afternoon informing me that my vehicle was ready for pick-up. This efficiency demonstrated their respect for their customers' time and convenience. Lastly, their pricing is competitive and reasonable for the exceptional quality of service they provide. I felt like I received great value for my money, which is always a plus. In conclusion, Essential Tints is a shining example of professionalism, quality, and customer satisfaction in the auto window tinting industry. I couldn't be happier with the results, and I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to enhance the appearance and functionality of their vehicle with top-tier window tinting. Five stars without a doubt! read more

I recently had the pleasure of getting my car tinted at Essential Tints LA, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Especially in the Los Angeles area, where car-tinting services are becoming more and more popular, it can be difficult to find that one special company that truly knows what they're doing, and that's when I reached out to Essential Tints LA. From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. The staff was incredibly professional and knowledgeable, guiding me through the various tinting options and helping me choose the perfect one for my car specifically. Their expertise was evident, and their attention to detail was beyond amazing. The quality of the tinting was incredible and I instantly noticed a difference in the reduction of possible glares I used to get from my car. The installation went smoothly, with the staff working with expertise, only goes to show that they genuinely do take pride in their work. Also, talk about a hassle-free process! The service and scheduling of the tint installation went by so smoothly and I wouldn't have asked to get the service done from anywhere else. With exceeding my expectations, and clearly standing out from other businesses, I would say I'm very satisfied with my results. 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

Just had my 2025 BMW M5 tinted here, and I couldn't be happier. They installed high-end heat-reflective ceramic tints on all my windows, and the difference is night and day. Not only does it look incredible -- sleek and clean -- but the cabin stays noticeably cooler, even during long drives in the sun. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and took great care of my car. They explained everything clearly and delivered flawless results. If you care about both performance and protection, this is the place to go. Highly recommend for anyone looking to protect their interior, reduce heat, and give their car that premium look. 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

I messaged Essential Tints on yelp because I wanted my new bronco's windows tinted asap and within 2 hours I had my windows tinted. They did an incredible job and really care about their business. Also their shop is so cozy and homey, they have a super comfy waiting room with a tv and couch and snacks while you wait which is super different from what I've seen before. Pricing is also so reasonable, they're so nice and do a great job and pay great attention to detail. I will definitely be coming back to get my windshield done and recommending this place to anyone I know who needs their windows done! read more

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

Their pricing was really fair and competitive compared to other places I looked at. We had two cars done, so it did take a few hours, but they were communicative the whole time and texted us with updates. They also emailed the warranty information and invoice, which was convenient. The staff was friendly and the quality of the work came out amazing. They did all 6 windows and the panoramic sunroof, and I honestly couldn't be happier. This is also the first tint shop I've been to where I didn't notice any water spillage inside the car, which I really appreciated. Overall, great experience, fair pricing, good communication, and solid work. I'd definitely recommend them.

The team here was great, everyone was so friendly and seemed to care about every customer. Not sure, but seems like a family business and for sure repeat customers coming back to get other vehicles tinted or customized. They are very hands on and walk you through everything. I ended up getting a 35% ceramic XR black tint on the front and then a clear was added to my already tinted rear windows to help cool the truck down and prevent UV penetration. The team did a great job, original quote was to allow for 3 hours, but they put two technicians on my truck and they were done within an hour. I was worried with the speed, but they did an excellent job. There were a number of bubbles left, but that is normal and they assured me they would go away. A few days in they were completely gone and just had a beautiful tint job. The tint comes with a limited lifetime warranty, so it is a great value when it comes to protecting your vehicle. They have a fairly small parking lot, but they pull your car into a very nice showroom to do the work. Complete with decorative lighting, sleek modern interior and lounge area, as well some really nice custom cars being worked on inside. The lounge area is relaxing and they have an espresso pod machine, which unfortunately I could not get to work. If you are looking for customization on your vehicle or tint, give Element Customs the chance to do the work, you will be happy you did. Enjoy!

I appreciate that Sasun took the time to sit with me and get to know me while I waited for my tesla model 3 to get tinted by his team. He did the rear window himself which can be very tricky. His team did the rest and it came out fantastic. I even stopped by a couple days later to ask a question and he rechecked everything to make sure it was curing correctly. For those wondering I did Xpel XR plus tint on my Tesla as he's an official installer / dealer. You will find their shop listed on Xpels website! It comes with the guarantee. I recommend SAS and will definitely take future cars with him.
