    Kooltint in Alhambra 10/8/15
    Jenni M.

    After purchasing a brand new Mustang on 10/2/15, my man asks me, "What do you think about stripes down the middle?" I concurred. It didn't take long for him to search for 3M authorized dealers in our area. He found two dealers he liked. I chose Kooltint in Alhambra. On 10/6/15, I called Bernie at around 3:30 p.m. to see if he'd take a look at my husband's car and provide him with a quote. My husband drove there immediately. Got the quote. Said Bernie was a cool guy with reasonable prices. The next day (10/7) I scheduled an appointment for the stripes for the following day (Thursday) and a clear front end mask on Friday. For this reason, the car stayed in Alhambra overnight on Thursday. My husband had an anxiety about this, but it's a decent area and the car was taken good care of. I wasn't there for the pick-up, but for the drop-off I was. Bernie is indeed a cool guy. His shop is pretty clean. He walked over the car to ensure there wasn't any damage before we proceeded. On our way out, he said he was taking it to a nearby car wash, but asked for permission to do beforehand. If you're wanting 3M stripes, consider this (& I'm stealing this from my husband): it's like a tattoo. No matter how good the artist is, there will be slight imperfections. You have to be extremely detail-oriented to see these. Most importantly, don't worry about the bubbles that may appear a few days afterwards. They will smooth out on their own or Bernie will tell you how to take care of them. We are going back sometime soon to add stripes on the sides of the car. That's how amazing they look. The clear mask seems to be very much worth the investment especially on the screwed up streets of L.A. Kooltint does a variety of other work. Check them out & ask for a quote. If you're at all familiar with these types of post-factory installations, then I think you'll find the pricing to be extremely reasonable. Review #414 Yelp challenge 95/100

    Stopped by this morning and had the chrome deleted around the windows. Staff was super friendly and pricing was very reasonable.

    Highly recommended. No need to explain. See the pictures. 3M pro series full front clear bra. Bernie and Jose pro installer do excellent job. Dropped he car off in the morning and picked it up end of day.

    Didn't finish the stripe below my license plate and the stripe is not cut straight.
    Daniel P.

    I have been waiting a long time to get stripes applied to my car. I planned on going with the twelve inch stripes. I contacted Kooltint and spoke with the owner (Bernie). He informed me that he was able to apply twelve inch stripes on my car for a reasonable price. I made an appointment for next week. Upon arrival of the business (Kooltint), I made contact with Bernie. He informed me that he was mistaken and that he only had ten inch stripes. I just wanted stripes so bad that I stated ,"No worries, that is fine." I was confident that my vehicle was going to look outstanding because this establishment had great reviews. He informed me that it would take a while and he offered to give me a ride; however, I informed him that I would rather just wait here. That was very nice of him. I waited in a room which had a television, water dispensary machine, and a couch. While I was watching tv, he started working on the car. From time to time, I checked up on his progress. I was liking my car after he barely applied the stripes on the hood of the car. After several hours, he finished the stripes. I was excited to check out my new ride. I observed the stripes right above the chin spoiler were not cut properly. I was able to see some of the red because he didn't cut it straight. I told Bernie about it and he fixed it up for me which made me happy. I inspected the rear of the vehicle and observed a fold/misplaced stripe on the back stripe. I told Bernie about it and he stated that he didn't see it. Nevertheless, he ended up retouching it. At this point, I knew that Bernie did not care about perfection. This should have been a red flag to not return to get the side stripes done on my car. A week later I returned to get stripes applied to the side of the vehicle. I told him the design I wanted and he started working on the car. I waited in the waiting room. After couple hours, the car was done. I exited the waiting room and inspected my vehicle. Everything looked good so I thanked him and left the location. I ended up eating at a restaurant near the place with my girlfriend. I noticed that there were air bubbles on the side stripes and the on the edge of the stripe, it was not applied properly so it was dangling. I informed Bernie about this and he told me to bring it in. I noticed that the driver side stripe was not straight but I didn't tell him about it. Once I brought it in, I showed it to him and he fixed it. At this point, I was a bit frustrated and disappointed. I forgot whether it was couple days later or couple weeks later but I couldn't stand looking at my car's driver side (stripe not being straight). I ended up contacting Bernie again about this situation and then I ended up getting it fixed a week later. All in all, Bernie is a great guy and he is all about customer service and that's awesome! However, I was not pleased with his work on applying stripes. Perhaps, Bernie may be great and a perfection with tinting or other things, but applying stripes on a car is not one of them. He also forgot to finish the stripe on the rear right below the license plate. I would rather pay someone else to finish the work than return to the location again. It's just old and tiring. As a law enforcement officer, I attempt to conduct a thorough investigation the first time to prevent from getting in trouble/fired or re conducting the investigation/case which takes up time and resources. I wasted my time and money by having to return to the business get my stripes re-touched. The reason why I decided to pay more money compared to other businesses that quoted less was because I thought that this business was capable of perfecting the job based off their reviews. I would not recommend people to come here for stripes. Maybe you will have a better experience with Kooltint, who knows. Good luck. I just wanted to inform my fellow yelpers of my experience at Kooltint. Thanks for reading.

    I had an excellent experience with Bernie and his team. They were able to do a full bumper, headlights, turn signals, center console, partial hood and fender clear bra protection. In addition, they installed a nice ceramic 35% tint on the windows. I would highly recommend and will be returning for the front windshield and chrome delete!

    Just in time for summer. I would definitely recommend Kooltint for your window tinting & wraps. Great work Bernie! Bernie is a great guy to work with and offers good advice. This is my second time at this shop, I first brought my car to tint, all windows including front windshield. My wife recently got a new car and we got the windows tinted and installed paint protection mask on the hood, fenders, front bumper, headlights, fog lights and door handles.

    RTMotorworks - Alignment done for this brand new Juniper

    I was in need of getting new brake pads and rotors for my 2020 BMW X5. Was getting quotes from a…read morecouple of other places but getting the quote from RTMotorworks was thorough. I was hoping I just needed brake pads for the front and hopefully not all 4 wheels at the time. They were very responsive and the quote was comparable to other places, if not better. Decided to take it in on a Friday in the morning. Checked my wheels and told me I just needed the front brake pads and rotors replaced. The back was still good. Sigh of relief somewhat. They were able to get the pads and rotors replaced for little under 3 hours. Time went by and they were updating me during the whole time. Great service and team here. Will definitely bring my car back in to get other services done. No issues whatsoever with the new pads and rotors.

    PROBLEM: ALIGNMENT ISSUES, CUSTOMER SERVICE, ACCOUNTABILITY…read more When I first tried to leave a review, my account was somehow blocked from posting specifically for RTM, while I could still review other businesses. I contacted Yelp, and by coincidence, the representative I spoke with was also RTM's Yelp rep. He said it was strange that I couldn't post only for RTM. After I explained my situation, he advised me not to leave a review and instead take the matter to small claims court--which I did. During the hearing, the judge seemed to understand my side, but the ruling ultimately favored RTM. Despite being advised not to post this, I'm sharing my experience here because the situation still doesn't sit right with me--especially given Yelp's controversial review practices. On 10/1/25, my rear right adjustable control arm snapped. My car has aftermarket wheels, tires, and suspension components, so a precise alignment is critical to ensure proper fitment without rubbing the fender. I initially went to TM Auto (located across from RTM) for the control arm replacement. After installation, TM took my car to RTM for alignment. I specifically asked them to match the rear right alignment to the rear left, which was set at -2.8 degrees. When I went to pick up my car, I immediately noticed the rear right wheel did not match the rear left. The camber was visibly off. I pointed this out to the technician, but he insisted the alignment was correct and that there were no machine or human errors. After repeated requests, they put the car back on the rack, but instead of rechecking, two additional technicians came out and dismissed my concerns with questionable explanations: "Toyota made the fenders uneven." "Your control arm is made in Taiwan/China--what do you expect?" Despite putting the car back on the rack, they never rechecked the alignment. They simply removed the car and stood by their original claim. With no resolution, I had no choice but to drive the car home. Because the alignment was incorrect, my tires rubbed against the fender the entire way. The next day, I found heat damage, paint cracking, and visible wear on the fender. I came back the next day to talk to Richard (the owner) hoping he would recheck everything, but it was apparent he was "too busy"--despite clearly having time to talk with other customers and then continue working on another car, while ignoring me. I waited outside RTM for over an hour trying to speak with him. When the TM Auto manager asked if he had seen the damage, his response was, "Yeah, so what?"--with no concern at all. After is when I left, and was forced to go to another shop to realign--more driving, more damage done. I used a camber gauge and measured -2.8 degrees on the rear left and -2.0 degrees on the rear right. To confirm, I took the car to my trusted shop, Chewerks in La Habra, where they verified the rear right camber was indeed -2.0 degrees and did not match the left side. Their measurements matched mine exactly. Because RTM refused to recheck or correct their work, this improper alignment caused damage to my car. The rear left side tucks properly, while the rear right sticks out about half an inch, which led directly to the rubbing and damage. I had clear documentation and evidence, but the court still ruled in RTM's favor. I chose not to appeal to avoid spending more time on the matter. A nearby body shop, Cenco Auto Body, quoted over $1,800 to repair the fender (with another shop giving a similar estimate), confirming the extent of the damage. What could have been a simple recheck turned into a costly mistake. Despite everything, RTM did not offer any compensation or attempt to make things right. Seeing RTM's highly rated Yelp profile made their response even more surprising. They're quick to take your money with a smile when things go well, but when issues arise--as in my case--they deny responsibility and make no effort to make things right (In my case, they didn't take money directly, but a receipt was given to TM Auto, and I had to pay TM Auto--which is the same as paying RTM directly). TM Auto went as far as offering RTM to help cover the repair costs, but RTM still refused. TM Auto didn't have to step in for someone else's mistake, yet they still tried--that says everything. Richard (the owner) had my contact information through the small claims process, yet he never made any effort to contact me--even before we went to assigned court date. After what happened, I'm relieved I didn't bring my other cars first--especially since those cars are of higher value. It seems RTM has many satisfied customers, along with a smaller number of unhappy ones. Hopefully, you don't end up in the latter group like me. FWIW: Following the incident, I contacted Hunter to verify when RTM's rack was last calibrated. Abel (rep) advised that its calibration was set to expire later that month. This raises the possibility that their rack may have been out of calibration.

Frank took the time to listen to some of the issues I was having and was already poking and prodding at my radio before I even finished talking.

This was all before I even made my appointment. I appreciate that he explained everything so thoroughly.

I cancelled the other appointment I had and decided to just wait a bit longer until I could bring my car back here. Come the day of my appointment- not only are Frank and Howie able to fix the issue with the radio, but they perform surgery on my dash kit and wind up not only leaving my radio in the perfect center position on my dash (no longer blocking the air vents), but they also left my radio sturdier than ever!! They discussed some of the things that the original installers could have done a bit better and even fixed an unrelated issue with some of my OBD components hanging- that was awesome! The fix came in well under what I was expecting to pay for repairs. The best part is that I know I paid for some QUALITY work from these guys. To say I'm pleased with their help would be the absolute understatement of the year. I've already picked Frank's brain about upgrading my dash cam as well. If you're on the fence about whether or not to drop by, rest assured that these guys will take good care of your problems!!
