    Spoke to Luis on the phone and told him what I wanted and he fulfilled my wishes and more! Highly recommend, customer service is GREAT! And he was also able to fit me in the same day!

    Headlight Restoration
    Lili M.

    My Camry is an old car but FFT was super helpful and immediately responded to my questions through Yelp. I needed headlight restoration very badly as it was becoming very dangerous to drive at night. So very happy and satisfied with my results !

    Before front tint and roof wrap
    Victor C.

    I took my Velar in for tint and roof wrap. The team did an outstanding job. I asked for a car wash as well and they were happy to accommodate my request. It was a 5 star experience all around with the level of service and work.

    Detail, ceramic coating, paint correction.

Jimmy has always been very communicative when I reach out requesting quotes and this last time they serviced my old Honda. It was originally tinted by a different business and the tint was beginning to warp. They removed my old wind visors & tint then re-tinted all the windows in one day. Uzi was the representative that assisted me day of and he was very communicative, kind, and professional through out the whole process.

From the moment I arrived, the staff was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about Tesla vehicles. I had all the windows tinted, including the windshield, and the quality of the work exceeded my expectations. The installation was clean, precise, and free of any bubbles or imperfections. The team completed the entire job in about two hours, which was much faster than I expected. What I appreciated most was their attention to detail and willingness to answer all my questions. They explained the different tint options and helped me choose the best one for privacy, heat rejection, and appearance. My Tesla looks amazing now, and the added privacy and comfort make a huge difference when driving. If you're looking for professional window tinting with excellent customer service and quality workmanship, I highly recommend Tint World.

The install was done the next day when I had more time to leave my vehicle, it was completed in a very professional, clean and neat way. The pricing was fair and I would recommend this place to anyone as I know I'll be back for future projects. *A side note, the security dog is cute and very aware of the people going in and out.

I asked for a tint quote online and was excited about the fair price plus great reviews. I took it in for tent and a stereo install. He pretended he knew everything about my car and had to charge me $500 to install the stereo. He said he needed to cut the wood around the stereo and that's why it cost so much. I told him that's the wood has already been cut but yet he wanted to keep the price at $500. When we began talking about the tint, he also said now that he sees the car in person he has to charge $1300. That is $500 more than what he quoted online. But somehow, now he didn't know anything about the number of windows or my car... he did when we were talking about the stereo. I was excited to drop off my car and he knew it. This is what we call BAIT AND SWITCH. I know it's a classic car, but it seems like he and everyone else wants to rip me off. I left a shop, extremely disappointed and with heartache.

    I brought my new Lexus GX 550 in for the Ultimate Armour package (just under $5k)…read more Scheduling and drop-off were both straightforward and easy, so no complaints there. Where things started to slip was on the pickup side. I was told the car was ready, but still ended up waiting about 30-40 minutes before actually getting it. At checkout, I was also surprised to see a tip screen with suggested amounts that felt pretty high given the service. I ended up leaving a small tip, but the experience itself didn't really match that level of expectation. I also would have appreciated a quick walkthrough of the work that was done--especially at that price point--but it was more of a quick handoff of the keys. I came back for the 10-day follow-up and made a point to ask about timing ahead of time. I was told it would take about an hour. I arrived early, but after an hour the car hadn't been touched yet, and there wasn't any update unless I asked. That part was frustrating. So, they ended up rushing my 10-day follow-up inspection. Gave the car a quick rinse and handed me the keys. What was the point of driving down from Carlsbad??? Over 3 hours wasted. For comparison, I had a great experience at their Kearny Mesa location previously, so I know what they're capable of. This location is stretched thin, which seemed to impact communication and overall service. I was not the only customer in the lobby feeling this way. Given the type of clientele they're working with and the pricing, I was expecting a bit more consistency and attention to detail. Their follow-up consisted of more sales pitches of coupons for services I already had done. Would have been nice to have the discounts PRIOR to the work! I planned on using the wash program and mentioned to Jasmine my poor service experience. Think there was follow-up? Nada. So, thumbs "kind of" up for Ceramic Pro but thumbs down for this location. Overall, I think the company itself does good work, and have used the Kearny Mesa location in the past several times with excellent success!! I would not choose this location again.
