I had a great experience with this tint shop. They were very professional, provided fast service, and did an excellent job on my vehicle. They were also very responsive over the phone, answered all of my questions, and made the whole process easy. On top of that, they were genuinely good people who treated me with respect. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality window tinting. read more

Lion Window Tinting - BMW m340i full window ceramic coat. - Car Window Tinting Near Me - San Mateo, California

Did my research and it paid off once again. Lion is the premier Xpel Tint installer in the area. I was about to go to another shop that's farther away, but they didn't even answer my call or email in days. I'm glad they didn't answer because I ended up here and was taken care of by the owner, Levon. This is the first place I brought my Tesla to after I took delivery of it. There were a lot of other Teslas here when I arrived, which shows you they have experience on Tesla installations. Levon took care of me from the get go. He is a hard working family man and I see his kids working there helping him out. This is a family-owned and proud business owner. I'm glad to have supported them. The tint and PPF came out perfect. Levon and his team even did a few extra PPF for me free of charge without me even asking for it. This small gesture will ensure I will come back for any future tint/PPF needs. I will of course recommend my family/friends to come here too. Levon gave me a great price and drove me to my destination after dropping my car off. So no need for Uber or bothering your friends for a ride. I never knew he offered this, but I was pleasantly surprised. Levon also worked with my schedule and offered to come in to receive my vehicle on the day that his shop is closed. This above and beyond service is the difference you see when an owner is grateful for your business. Don't forget that you get lifetime warranty on the Xpel tints. Thank you, Levon. read more

Very professional, on-time and no hassle pricing. The job completed to my satisfaction.

These guys are great! They were able to get my appointment scheduled quickly, and the work was top quality. They finished my truck (5 windows) in a couple hours with no delays. They have straight forward pricing and the finished product was worth every penny! I would highly recommend Lion Window Tinting! read more

The best XPEL Prime XR tinting on my Tesla Model Y Juniper. Levon and family are the only ones I trust for my tinting and paint protection film. Every job is perfect quality workmanship! They even went the extra mile to help me remove stubborn rust spots from tree droppings that I was unable to remove myself. First-class small business who cares and take pride in their work and customers. read more

It's already been repeated hundreds of time here; 5 Stars all the way!! Levon is fair and straight to the point. Excellent craftsmen here at Lion Window Tinting - Armenians are renowned for their excellent craftsmanship and it shows up here! Levon and crew have now tinted the front windows on my 4Runner TRD PRO and Tundra 1794 edition to match the rear factory tint, as well as full window tint on my G80 M3. Perfect every time. Levon fit me in on short notice on a Saturday and had both of my front windws tinted in less than 30 minutes - in and out - Amazing! Super comfy and clean waiting area for those that need to wait on their premises. read more

Prompt, courteous and great work. Had XPEL tinting done for our Model X. Brought it in a.m, rode out in the shade by p.m. Thank you! And extra points for politely answering some of my questions on repeat -- I was half focused on a sick kiddo. read more

Great work done on both of my vehicles. They finished the jobs in about 2 hrs. Great communication and price. Highly recommended!

Lion Window Tinting delivered an excellent tinting experience for my car from start to finish. From the initial consultation, I really appreciated how they took the time to recommend the type of film that best fit my needs. This made it easy for me to choose the right tint for comfort, privacy, and heat reduction. In terms of quality, this was my second time coming here to tint my car--the first visit was for part of the vehicle, and this time I returned to tint the back doors and rear window. I came back because I trust their workmanship, and once again the results were clean, precise, and professional. I was also impressed by the speed and organization of the service. There was essentially no waiting around; it genuinely felt like the shop was open just for my appointment, so the work was done fast without feeling rushed. One suggestion: call Lion Window Tinting directly and make a reservation with them directly. You'll get the same team, the same high level of service, and the same quality results, while keeping the process simple and straightforward. read more

This is the third job I had on two Tesla's that Lion Window Tinting has done. Two front window tintings, and the latest, a full front PPF on my 2026 Model Y. Levon and team do such a great job. It's obvious they take pride in what they do. Yes, they charge a bit more than the countless ads I was getting on Instagram (because besides it listening to my conversations, it read my mind) for full PPF and ceramic coating charging far less, but I also believe "you get what you pay for". And since LWT and Levon did such a great job on my window tints, why change? Highly recommend! read more

Fantastic experience. Super clean shop. Got a quote on the phone brought the van in later that afternoon and left in a couple of hours. Free Izzy's in the waiting room :-) Sunnyvale location has a high enough door for a tall van. Most shops don't. read more

Lion Window Tinting - Car Window Tinting Near Me - San Mateo, California

I'm so glad I chose Lion Window Tinting! Let me tell you -- I had gone to three other tint shops (including one with a Groupon deal) before finding Lion Window Tinting, and those other places all tried the classic bait-and-switch or pushy upsells. In stark contrast, Levon at Lion Window Tinting was a breath of fresh air. From the moment I contacted him, he was friendly, honest, and straightforward. No pressure at all. Pricing & Honesty: Levon gave me a straightforward quote based on the high-quality film I wanted, and it was actually about 5-10% lower than the best quotes I got elsewhere in the Bay Area. And guess what? He didn't try to cut corners by using some off-brand film to save a buck. I got premium XPEL ceramic tint (with all the paperwork for the official XPEL warranty included), and he still beat the other guys' prices. There were no hidden fees on the day of service - I paid exactly what I was quoted. This kind of transparency is rare and so appreciated. Quality of Work: The quality here is top-notch. I had all 8 windows of my brand-new 2026 Tesla Model Y (including the front windshield) tinted in one go. Levon and his team finished the job in about 2 hours, which is super efficient for a full-car tint. When they handed my car back, I was blown away - flawless installation. No bubbles or gaps, minimal dust - the car even came back clean with no water stains on any panels. The tint film is perfectly cut and aligned. It's obvious that the team at Lion Tint are true professionals who care about the details. My Model Y looks absolutely amazing now, and the high-quality XPEL Prime film they used provides excellent heat rejection and UV protection. During this recent hot week, I've already felt a huge difference in how cool the interior stays. Customer Service & Experience: What really sets Lion Window Tinting apart is the customer service. There was zero pressure to pay upfront or buy add-ons I didn't need. In fact, Levon doesn't even take payment until after the work is done and you're satisfied - a policy that instantly built trust. He clearly cares more about long-term customer happiness than a quick sale. He also mentioned they'll give a small discount if you pay cash, basically equivalent to the credit card fee - a nice little perk if you have cash on hand. Throughout the process, Levon was communicative and honest. He answered all my questions (and I had a lot, especially about different tint levels and the California legal limits) with patience and expertise. You can tell he's in this business to build a loyal customer base and not just make a quick buck. Waiting Room & Location: I decided to wait on-site while my car was being tinted, and I'm glad I did. They have a wonderful waiting room with comfy seating, free snacks, drinks, Wi-Fi, and a TV to help pass the time. It felt more like I was hanging out in a friend's lounge than a shop - super cozy and clean. The location is great too: it's in a nice, safe area of San Mateo (near the Roblox HQ and the Caltrain station). So if you don't want to wait indoors, you can easily take a walk to grab coffee or lunch nearby. The whole vibe of the shop is friendly and welcoming, which made the experience that much better. Final Verdict: Lion Window Tinting earns every bit of its 5-star reputation. My car looks fantastic, the price was right, and the service was honest and exceptional. I honestly can't recommend Levon and his team enough. If you need window tinting (or PPF or wraps - they do those too), don't waste your time with other shops that play games. Go to Lion Window Tinting and enjoy a smooth, trustworthy experience from start to finish. I'll definitely be coming back for any future tint or protection needs, and I'll be telling all my friends about this place. It's so satisfying to support a local small business that truly puts customers first. ***P.S. for Tesla owners:*** The Tesla Model Y (and other models) come with a bit of factory tint in the glass (around 75% VLT on the front windshield/windows, and ~22% on the rear windows). I worked with Levon to choose tints that achieve the look and legal compliance I wanted. I ended up doing 70% XPEL ceramic on the front windshield and rear sections, and 20% on the front driver/passenger windows. The end result? My front windshield is about 52.5% visible light transmission (I have a medical note allowing a darker windshield), and the front side windows and all rear windows are around 15% VLT. The car now has a sleek, unified look and stays way cooler inside. Lion Window Tinting is very knowledgeable with Teslas - they'll help you get the perfect tint setup while explaining everything. read more

I recently took my car to Lion Tint for a full transformation--window tint, stealth film, and a ceramic coating. The results are absolutely stunning. Levon is a true professional who clearly takes pride in his craft; his attention to detail is next level. The stealth film looks factory-perfect, and the ceramic coating gives it a deep, incredible shine. If you're looking for high-quality work and great customer service, go see Levon. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out! read more

As always, I had my new vehicle tinted, and there's nowhere else I would trust besides Lion Tinting. The service and value are consistently excellent. Levon is welcoming, professional, and always great to talk to. Now that he has additional help, they get the job done even faster without compromising quality. Highly recommended every single time. read more

Lion Window Tinting - Car Window Tinting Near Me - San Mateo, California

I bought PPF through Tesla and was referred to Lion - and judging from their parking lot, apparently with many other Tesla owners. This is a family operation so every worker is vested in their success. If someone has a "no one will notice it" moment, there will be difficult discussions at dinner -- so you know the job is being done right. To prove the point, my deep metallic blue Tesla came out looking beautiful, with no seams that I could see, and every piece of material wrapped around to hide and protect the edge of the PPF from peeling over time. I picked my car up in the afternoon, so there was some dust blown onto it by the storm that came through the Bay Area. Levon would not let me drive off his lot without washing the entire car -- by hand -- in freezing weather. Is this commitment to quality? You bet it is. The final proof point is there was no mention of me buying through Tesla, which means Lion had to pay commission to them. They didn't try to cross-sell, up-sell, or convince me to cancel the Tesla purchase and buy direct. To me, this is the mark of a professional who takes pride in their work and respects their customers. read more

I just bought a Tesla Model Y and first thing on my todo list is to tint the windows. Because I was a past customer in 2020 and was impressed with the job that the owner of this business done, I knew I could trust him. They did a beautiful job on my Tesla and value for money. read more

Where do I even begin? Looking back, I should've just been patient and waited for an appointment with Lion Tint instead of taking my vehicle to Jetblack Tint. They completely wasted my time and left my car in terrible condition. Levon, I truly appreciate your professionalism, honesty, and most importantly, the care you put into taking care of my car. You're also incredibly friendly, and I genuinely enjoyed all the conversations we had throughout the process. On top of that, providing a courtesy vehicle was extremely thoughtful and helpful, and it really showed how much you care about your customers. You've definitely earned my trust, and I'll be coming back to you for all my tint and PPF needs in the future. read more

Outstanding Customer Service & Quality Work! My husband and I had an amazing experience with Lion Window Tinting in San Carlos. They did such a great job tinting my husband's truck that he loved the results so much, he decided to bring in my 2025 Lexus RX 350 to get tinted as well. We picked up my car yesterday (1/3) and were already very happy with how it looked. Few hours later, the owner personally called my husband to let us know that they had missed tinting one of the small rear windows. He immediately apologized, explained what happened, and told us he would drive all the way to our house in Hayward (about 30-40 minutes away!) to fix it. The fix took less than 5 minutes, and that level of honesty, accountability, and care truly blew us away. This is what real customer service looks like. From start to finish--honesty, quality of work, attention to detail, and the final outcome--everything was top-notch. We highly recommend Lion Window Tinting to anyone looking for excellent work and exceptional customer service. Truly the best! Thank you so much Levon and team! :) read more

ANOTHER 5 STAR REVIEW! When I first found Lion Window Tinting about a year ago, I never thought that I'd be going back to them this many times! But this is my third trip to them! Why you ask? Well, it's because Levon and his crew are excellent at what they do and his price is always fair! They will always thoroughly explain all of your options, protection levels, and prices for each level, as well as perform top notch work here. So, you will then be able to easily choose what level of tint works for you. I guess I'm now a VIP at Lion Window Tinting, and you can eventually become one too. Thanks again, Levon! read more
