Responsive and showed up as scheduled. Fair pricing. Jason was very nice and efficient.

Update: I took the vehicle back for 4 windows to be redone, they do look a lot better than the first time but I still have to give it time for the tints to settle down but so far so good! ---------------------- I had the tints done on my vehicle on the 10th of August. Jason helped me with everything and he's an awesome guy. Everything looked fine upon getting my vehicle back however there was a section in one of the windows where the film was peeled off, they corrected it. Had quite a few bubbles and was told they would go away in about a week or so. So far the quality & the labor doesn't impress me although I got the most expensive one which is the best type of tint. On August 27th I noticed some of the bubbles were still there and more actually started to appear. I am giving them the opportunity to make this better because everyone makes mistakes so this review will be updated depending on the final outcome of the revised tints. read more

Hands down the best window tint shop in Austin. Jason, the owner, is an amazing guy to work with -- professional, honest, and clearly takes pride in what he does. Eric, one of the tinters, has been tinting windows for over 22 years, and it absolutely shows in the quality and attention to detail. I actually waited nine months so I could drive from Florida to Austin over the holidays just to have my windows tinted here. That's how good they are. If you're looking for top-quality work, experienced professionals, and a shop that truly cares about doing it right, this is the place. Highly recommended. read more

Good communication, fair pricing. Got a 10% discount for one window application (though it was gonna be a whole price discount but ended up being only partial). Took about hour and a half from drop off to pickup, which seemed a bit excessive, but other than that it was good. read more

I've tinted several cars with Mother's now and had a good experience everytime. On my last car, the back window tint started orange peeling and was blurry but they replaced it for me (thankfully the marathon film has a lifetime guarantee). Make sure you hold onto your receipts as that make the replacement so much easier. They don't do appointments, which is a little inconvenient. I've had luck going in the afternoon of a work day or first thing in the morning on a weekday. A small thing that really stood out to me: when I last went in, there was a young woman (maybe late high school/early college age) and her father. She was there to get tint. The thing that made me so happy to see is that the guy who worked there spoke directly to her and not to her father. It feels silly to have to say it because it's such a small thing but that small thing speaks volumes. I've had years of being treated as stupid (when by myself) or invisible (when I go with my boyfriend) whenever I go to car/car-related places. So big kudos. read more

I absolutely loved the experience I had and sending out a big shout out to Mother's Window tint. I had called a couple of days ago to the North Austin location to inquire about getting my truck windows tinted and glad I came here. I was told they took walk-ins and first come first serve. I showed up about 8:45 am and the manager flagged me down right away and let me in. I had my little dog and he said it was ok to have her in there with me. The young man told me he let me in sooner because he didn't want any of the transient people bothering me while I was waiting for them to open. He explained everything to me clearly, was profesional, and friendly. I got all my windows tinted nicely and rather quickly. The price was very reasonable. They were done in less than 20 minutes! They did a great job and felt so happy about the overall experience. My truck looks great! If you need to get your windows tinted and want it done right, come out here and check this place out. I will definitely recommend it to others. read more

So, I called these guys before I come in and they quote me 850+15% off. They take my name down and I tell them I'll be there some time shortly. I get there and I give the guy at the counter my name, and he just kind of blows through it and continues on to his pitch like it's irrelevant. I'm like, ok, whatever, maybe the guy that took my name down left for lunch or something. We go outside and are looking at my car, and as I'm asking this guy questions, his attitude is really quick and matter of fact... still, what ever, it's a business. When we start talking about prices, I refer back to the quote I was given over the phone. His exact response: "Well that's a phone quote.."..... what? What does that even mean? If you're going to give a quote, give a quote. He then says that he'll give me 10% off. So I tell him that basically the quote they gave me over the phone is pointless? He then goes and checks with some guy in the back, which sounds like it may have been the guy that quoted me initially, and he tells him that he said he quoted me 10 OR 15%.... first of all...you're mistaken if you think I'm going to let some clown I don't even know call me a liar when they know full well they are lying. Second, I gave them ALL the details for my vehicle and for what I was looking for in order to get my quote...who quotes 10 OR 15%? At that point I said, nah, thanks anyway. At which point they seemed to care very little that they just lost an $800 dollar sale. read more

Good at doing tiny but noticed air bubbles on my back windows. Although cashier told me I have a 1 year warranty incase anything happens so that's nice. read more

Mother's does great tinting, but they also install great sound and Apple Car Play systems. Two years ago I updated my wife's Miata with a Sony Car Play system from Mother's. It ran great for two years... until it didn't. I called Jason at the 290 store and he said for me to bring it in and he'd look at it and give me an estimate on how much it would cost to fix it. Jason took it to the shop behind the store and came back in a few minutes with my keys. He says, "It's fixed. You're good to go." I ask him how much I owed him, and he said, "Nothing... one of your wires came loose and I put it back." You can't beat that type of customer service. Thanks, Jason! read more

After a lot of research and calling around different places I decided to get my new cars windows tinted at Mother's and it was a really great experience. Jason did an amazing job informing and educating me on the different types of tint and weighing out all of my options. I have never tinted windows before so i appreciated the time taken instead of just pushing the most expensive option on me like some other places. It's day one so there's more drying to happen but I'm so far very happy with the outcome! read more

Mother's Window Tint - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Austin, Texas

I had a great experience with this company both by phone and in person. Ralph and John are both wonderful people who just happen to be great at business as well. I came in to get my front windows and windshield tinted. I spoke to Ralph first over the phone and he gave me all available options, not just the most expensive ones, which is really refreshing to hear nowadays. When I showed up, I informed them that I only had limited time and they were honest with on whether or not it would work out, so I came in. They had an hour to finish the tinting and they did it in 35 min! Needless to say, I was thoroughly impressed not only by that but also because of the warm conversations we had while I was waiting for my truck to finish. All in all, I was very pleased at my experience with Mother's Window Tint as well as the significant reduction in heat by the tint that was given. I would recommend this place and plan to visit again soon to try out the remote device. read more

Great experience with the manager Jason. He was good help and very reasonable. Matt on the other hand is a moody old man that doesn't know how to treat customers. He is disrespectful and acts like he doesn't want your business. Would be a really good shop if it wasn't for them having him answering phone calls or dealing with customers. I spoke with someone about an estimate and he then tried to make up some random numbers when I came in to talk. Tried to up charge me and when I corrected him he said "yea well we can do that too". After the work had been done, he continued to be disrespectful and was extremely unprofessional any time I had to talk to him, or spoke about anything regarding the work they did. read more

No man. Real guy. Burnet is custom sounds. You may have 8 but I was told 1 but multiple people at three separate locations. Like I said. Mothers for tint is fine - it's in the name. Sound - I won't do it again. read more

Went in to price window tint talked to store manager answered all My questions that I had even took the time to walk out to my truck wich was parked way out in the parking lot when it was 110 in the shade it was hot so you get what I am saying, the price was right so I agreed to put ceramic window tint on my 2022 GMC Yukon SLT we used hupper ceramic window tint. IAM new In Austin Texas lived here or in Killeen Texas for about 4 year's now since I have been here in Texas we have had a pandemic One year had the hottest summer in a decade and had the coldest year too crazy wright. Been to a lot of stores in Austin Texas and bye far this is the Best window tinting store by far so I recommend using this store for your tint and probably anything they do as well that how much experience they have there so 5tars for sure read more

I was so sad to read that the reviewers for this specific location had issues with Mother's. I took my old Toyota Yaris in (before a girl totalled it) to get tint. The downside to Texas weather is the hot hot Texas heat, and with no tint in a black car with black interior = hot inside too!...and a left arm that was starting to get darker than the right one lol So the location might not be in the safest spot or best looking area but the businesses are small and hardly anyone is in the area first thing in the morning. So anywho, I got a deal for a 10yr 3M tint, for $159, and after the tint had set around the third day I inspected my windows for bubbles or any flaws, NONE! Plus the service at Mother's was great. The guy helping me was very funny, blunt and you could say he could "kick it" with the younger crowd. Hopefully more people will try and give Mother's a chance. read more

I had my previous car's windows tinted here and it lasted the 11 years I had the car and no flaws and no problems. So when I bought my new car, I had no doubt where to take it. The sales guy was really helpful and showed us all the levels of tint they offered. We ended up buying the pricey stuff since we'll be keeping the car a good long while. They got the job done quickly and it was perfect when we gave the windows a good look. After living with it for a few weeks, I can say they did a great job and it has made a huge impact on how hot the inside of my car gets. Wouldn't think of going anywhere else due to my experiences thus far. read more

I was looking to get an upgraded Stereo with bluetooth. I rolled up into this place and the guy was on the phone. No biggie. I figured I would look around. Once he was off the phone, he had to get guy who was waiting for his window tint to be finished out the door. I explain what I was looking for. He starts showing me what kind of stereos he has. I was not real impressed with the selection they had. The phone rings again and he disappears. I am on my lunch break and do not have all day to wait around for this guy to give me a quote. While briefly talking to him, he threw out a number which I thought was low ball. The level of attention was not there at that shop. I ended up going someplace else. I will not be "Doing it at Mother's." read more

Had a great experience. The guy, Jason Kimbler, was super knowledgeable and helpful. Helped so much more than custom sounds did...who only lied to me to try to sell me more. Jason was awesome and I highly recommend mothers to do your work. read more

Third car I've had windows tinted on here. I really enjoy it every time and it's always great quality! Steve P helped me out today and was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Don't find many personable and smart people like that anymore! I'll return here with a 4th car for sure. read more

NOTE: If you want the short and sweet version of this review scroll down to the bottom I recently inherited a new car with some audio issues. After hearing ads from Mother's over the phone, I decided to give them a try. First impressions over the phone: After checking our their website, I was directed to a phone number to call or text in order to get a "special discount." Admittedly, I wasn't really planning on much of a response given that I had texted the number provided around 11 pm. To my shock, I received a response within the hour. Whoever was on the end of the line even provided me with explanations of what may have been going on with my car's stereo/amp. After a brief period of texting back and forth I was provided with a number to call their local North Austin office and a general idea of what to ask about. The following day I called Mother's and Ralph answered. Like the other reviews mentioned, he does have a lackadaisical intonation with his speech but in all honesty I believe the guy means well. He went into detail about what may be malfunctioning in my car and suggested that I bring it in for his technician, Josh (who is awesome by the way), to take a look. FYI, I live about an hour north of Austin and our Car audio store selection is extremely limited but I was willing to make the drive. Impressions of the store: As soon as I arrived, I was greeted by Ralph and another employee with hand shakes and introductions. Prior to my arrival two other customers arrived so there was a pretty substantial wait (1-2 hours). Since it was my day off I had the time and patience to wait around. The store itself is kind of barren but it serves its purpose. Atmosphere is casual and there is absolutely no pressure to purchase anything while you're looking around. After waiting, Josh and Ralph brought me into the shop area and showed me what the found out with the car. They spared no minor detail and were extremely transparent with pricing and labor needs. Josh even showed me how to replace the part myself if I didn't want to drive back down to Austin. *************************** I DID NOT make a purchase at the end of the day (due to unavailability of the required part) but Ralph made it a point to render the entire inspection service free of charge due to me having to drive a long distance and having to wait. Even though I didn't make a purchase I was still treated with the utmost respect and attention. Granted, some people may be put off by the casual attitudes of the employees but I'm not bothered by it at all. To the previous reviewers who commented on the employees' attitudes, What else did you expect from a car tint and audio shop in Austin? Mother's will have my business in the future. read more

I needed a tint and stereo but didn't know exactly what type or style. Ralph at Mothers listened to what my needs were and made a great recommendation. I was in and out within 3 hours and am very happy with the price and service. I will get all my cars tinted at Mothers read more

Ralph and the Guys are Mother's are AMAZING !!!! I called to get a Quote and 15 minutes later I was in their Shop getting Tint. GREAT PRICE and GREAT GUYS !!!! Love the TINT !!! Thanks Cheers, Jimmie Jean read more

Moody weird personality at the front desk that acts like he doesn't want your business. I got there at 10a and was the only customer. I had called about a week before going and described the 2 windows needing tint and was given a price. I showed up and was quoted a higher price. I told him I had called and he adjusted it but acted like he was through with me because I didn't want more windows tinted. I was a 20+ year customer having different vehicles tinted and alarms installed but that is no way to treat customers and probably my last time. read more

I've used these guys for both tint and car audio several times over the years and they've always treated me well. The car audio gear is a bit pricey for those of us who generally buy electronics online but I feel that the premium is worth paying if you need a same day install done. And frankly small shops need to make a profit somehow so I don't mind supporting local business. I've had good luck with installers there. Cables are run cleanly and no corners are cut. The store manager is super helpful and does his best to manage his time between the phone (which rings constantly) and the customers in the store. I like the first come first served model for installs personally. Your best bet is to show up early on your day off to be at the top of the list and you'll get done pretty quickly. read more

After calling many tint "specialist" around town I quickly learned that most tint places use a template. So if you are wanting a truly custom to it job this is the place to go. When I arrived I met with Steven and he did an amazing job at explaining what they offer, quality and expectations. Dropping off the car was a breeze. If there is one complaint that I would have it's that the vehicle took longer to complete than estimated. Looking at the car it's easy to see that they had their work cut out for them. They were happy to provide photos and giving updates. I don't not have any problems with the delay since they were very communicative and provided updates. When I picked up the car I was speechless. My expectations blown out of the water!! To anyone looking for quality tint with great customer service look no further. To the technicians at mothers tint. . Thank you for an amazing job!! read more

Just had a new car alarm with remote start installed today by Josh. He did an excellent job. You can't even tell anyone was in my truck. Ralph was very informative and willing to go out of his way to make sure I was taken care of. Both Josh and Ralph stayed late to make sure my truck was complete and in excellent working order. I am very impressed with this location and the team they have on board. I will definitely bring my truck here again for future mods. I recommend anyone to use this place. Very laid back atmosphere where they treat you like a friend. read more

Over the past 20 years I have gone to Mother's Window Tint for a couple of vehicles. They have always done a great job so when I decided to get the windows tinted on my new vehicle it was a no brainer. I called and got a quote from Steve. He was very knowledgable and informative. He also had a very pleasant and welcoming demeanor. He said that they could get my truck in and out right away. While waiting for the job to get done I inquired about the alarm system with the remote start. Again, Steve was very helpful and informative. He even showed me how the system worked on his vehicle. He had to ask the guy that does the installs about the remote start on my particular vehicle and if they were able to install it successfully due to my truck being so new and the type of ignition it has (2018 Toyota Tacoma with push button start). They said that it would be doable. I had to take some time to think it over as I had not budgeted for such an expense at that time. Flash forward, I called back about getting the alarm and remote starter installed. I spoke with Steve again and he said just to bring it by when I could. After work I called to make sure they would have time to do the install before I drove over there. It worked out perfectly. I went straight over and Josh got to working on it. As it was approaching closing time, Josh encountered a problem with the programming. Toyota had made some changes between the 2017 and 2018 models. He did a lot of troubleshooting but it just wasn't working (the remote start). The alarm was fine. Josh needed to speak with someone to get the updated programming info but it was after 6:00pm at this point and no one was available. I spoke with Steve and Jason (whom I believe is the manager). They would have continued to work on it but I was tired and didn't want to keep them there any later. Jason assured me that they would get the info and I could come by the next day for Josh to finish that part up. Went by the next day, got right in, and Josh got it all working. He then took time to show me all of the features, how to operate the system, and answered all of my questions. Overall, I had a great experience with these two services. The staff was friendly and informative. When they encountered an issue, they assured me that they would get it working for me and they did. I am very happy with both my window tint and the alarm/remote starter. read more
