Platinum came highly recommended by family and our car detailer. We had a great experience. Dropped the car off and it was ready within a couple of hours. Pricing was within the range of other local tinters that we called as well. Highly recommend!! read more

Platinum Window Tinting - Baller tints 5 in the back - Home Window Tinting Near Me - Watsonville, California

WARNING I recently took my 1997 Mitsubishi 3000gt SL into Platinum Tinting because I needed some old tints removed and replaced. I took my car  in and they did just that. Everything seemed good for a couple of days, until I began to notice the passenger door tint was peeling from the top corner. This had never happened before with my old tints, and after a closer inspection I saw the issue. A small tab that sits at the top corner of the door had been pulled down and was now out of place. This caused the tab to repeatedly hit the top portion of the vehicle, consequently, peeling the new tint off. I have attached pictures of my car with the old tints and you can clearly see where the tab was before it was moved out of place.  In these pictures you can see the sun mark of where the tab use to be. I have also attached pictures of how my car looks after Platinum Tinting worked on my vehicle. I understand that Platinum Tinting said they don't have to remove or relocate the tab to take off or apply the tints; but, the tab wasn't like that before or else I would have had the same issue with the tab peeling off my old tints. This mishap started shortly after they worked on my car and there is little to no chance it was done on my behalf. I provided all this information to the owner of  Platnium Tinting and he was extremely unfair/reluctant in understanding my situation and frustration. I really thought that Platinum Tinting was an established and respected business place; but, after this unfortunate experience I cannot with good faith recommend others to this buinsess. Especially, if there is the possibility of others' vehicles being mishandled and the warranty not being honored. Since I talked to Platinum Tinting I have fixed and put the table back into place; but, it is unfortunate that the tint on the right side of my vehicle remains wrinkled and with air bubbles. read more

Review long over due. Ended up having to take my truck in 3 times! Tint would either have debris in between it and the window. 2nd time tint had a slit, 3rd time was when there was a small knife slash in it so that's why the tint looked like it had a cut in it. Brand new 2022 silverado, and the cut wasn't there the previous 2 times going in. Got over it by the 3rd time. Also snapped a few door panel clips. Yeah, they say the tint has a life time warranty, but I'm not about to keep going back every other weekend with a other issue... rather go somewhere else... read more

BEWARE! I took my BRAND new car into this place and they broke my car handles and left the rubber vinyl out. They did not notify me that they had broken them. I took my car elsewhere to get fixed, and was told the parts were not cheap and will take a few months to arrive because of the pandemic so I had to wait a few months to get them. Now if the Tint shop would have done their job correctly and taken their time, I wouldn't have been dealing with this issue of spending my time and gas going to the shop to fix my car! The owner stated "sometimes we don't notice" LOL. That is not something you happen to miss! You know when you break something, COME ON. They did a horrible & sloppy job. When I contacted the owner, he did not want to give me a refund and was not very professional. If you can, go somewhere else, you and your car will be thankful. read more

These guys have the best price in town. I've taken 4 cars here now. One time the tint bubbled up after a week. I came back and they fixed it free of charge. First come first serve so be ready to wait. Honest guys and clean shop. Thank you read more

Dropped by on a busy Saturday to get a quote on my front 2 windows. Went in for a quote and came out with what I wanted. They matched my front 2 windows with the back ones. They were able to squeeze me in without an appointment and get me out in no time. Great people, greater service. read more

Platinum Window Tinting - SUV - Home Window Tinting Near Me - Watsonville, California

These specialists walked me through the selection process. They did professional work and the price was just right

Would recommend they cover your stereo speakers and other sensitive/electrical car accessories as the liquid they use gets all over the place. It literally runs down the window and forms a puddle. For instance, I had my front windshield tinted and have two speakers on my dashboard. The amount of liquid that accumulated in that area made me shriek. I personally saw them work on my car for approximately 3hrs. Update: Did business with them again. Had vinyl put on my headlights to delete my Amber reflectors. Both headlights sustained about 4 razor cuts which I didn't appreciate considering how much I was charged. Furthermore, I personally don't like the fact that their rates aren't fixed. Spoke with the owner about this and he explained it depends on how busy they are. read more

Went here today to get some window tints removed off my car. The worker today fucked up when removing my tints and took the material that is used when the cars defroster is on. Basically my rear window defrost won't work due to their fuck up on removing my tints. I have to get a whole new back window because they removed that special material that comes on them normally. The manager was a complete asshole about the situation and was no help. Don't go here at all you will waste your money and then have to pay extra expenses to fix everything they fucked up. read more

Just stopped by to get a quote on Tinting my back and side windows of my Subaru Outback. The owner gave me a good price and he did it right on the spot! I waited about an hour and it was done! Good guys working there. I would recommend in a heartbeat to anyone who wants their windows tinted!! read more

I was referred by my friend. I had an appointment today at three for my 2009 Toyota Prius. I was told it would be $200 flat, and the wait would be 2 to 3 hours. They had it done in about 30 to 45 min. I like how they matched the tint to the panel below the rear window. I will defiantly recommend to my friends. read more

I have gone here a couple times and they charged me 200 for the back window and all 4 windows for $200 and i went on 2022 and they charged me 180 for 3 windows what the hell is that. And they messed up all my door trim on my bmw and scratched my bumper pulling it out. Their dicks to other customers too. Wouldnt recommended rookie service read more

I got my '98 Chevy Astro tinted at Platinum today, and was very pleased with their work! Without an appointment they were able to fit me in on a busy Friday. My Chevy has 6 large back windows which required tint removal and application. My car looks way better and their dark tint is super solid, I can barely see through it. I highly recommend, especially since they have the best prices I could find in the Santa Cruz & Watsonville area. read more

The tint job was decent on my 03 honda accord that was installed, however they had to remove the old tint. They failed To inform or have in paperform The "statement" "everyone knows the rear defrost wont work after removing old tint" Well.... you didn't tell me that when I brought it In. U only jumped on the job cause u were Bitchin about all the canceled Appointments. U left the carpet all dirty cant even vacuum your shit and u left my third brake light hanging. Oh hey maybe mention u disconnected by battery and inform me to reprogram my radio security. Go a little above and beyond with your business. Customer service goes a long way in my Trade!! So after talking with some jackwagon on the phone His response was well... now you can see out of your rear window since the tint is clear and not bubbling. Hmmm my response what happens when its fucking frosted!!! Dont go here! I payed extra for them to scrape Steam off old tint so they could fuck up my defroster!! read more

I brought my car in at 10:45 A.M. and was told it would be finished by 4 or 5. It was not done until 9 P.M. Disorganized and very poor time management skills at this business. Ask for the price and don't let them tell you at the end there is an additional charge. If you choose to go here be aware! Very poor business practice! read more

Customer service is ass. I had gotten a quote on how much it would be to remove my tints and add new ones and they told me 100$, came in and the dude tried to charge me 320$!! when i got two friends that got their windows tinted for 160 ON A 4 DOOR (I have a coupe) so it doesn't make sense as to why they would charge me that much, mind you that my two front windows have NO tint. Also my friend got his car tinted there last week so you can't say "the price went up" lmao goofy read more

I recommend not going to this place at all. I asked the owner if I can pay with a business check and they said no because I have never done business with them? As a independent automotive business owner, I was super surprised, frustrated. Very very bad service, I felt unwelcome. I suggest you guys not to go there. read more

My truck sat around never got touched all day. They say first come first serve. Guy said they got busy, that must have been after I dropped off my truck. I will spend my money with a better company. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone I know! read more

Bummed to write a bad review for this place after the great work they did on my husband's Mazda 6 last year. However, I took my Civic in last week to have the back window tinted and came out with the 3rd (center) brake light not working. Upon inspection, we discovered that the installer had cut the wires to that light when removing the rear speaker panel. When I called about to ask for a partial refund due to having to get my rear brake light repaired I was told that they weren't responsible for the damage. No refund was offered. The tint is peeling in a few areas, but I'm hesitant to take it back for fear of further damage to the vehicle. I'll try TCG next in Santa Cruz next time. read more

I would give this place no star if it was an option. Some advice. (1) don't take your car to his place! (2) if you do, don't pay for the warranty, they won't honor it (3) before you drive off, take a look at the interior around the window that was tinted. If you have light colored fabric interior you will notice staining caused from whatever cleaning agent they use. They also broke the brackets to my door pannels and there was significant bubbling in tint that never went away. When I confronted the owner about it , he said it wasn't their problem. I let him know I would let my attorney take care of it. Owners response - "i'm always being threatened to be taken to court" I don't think he realized how stupid of a statement that was. Anyway, my attorney did his job and had my money reimbursed and had them pay for the repair of my door panels and professionally clean my interior. Call other places and compare pricing. This place is the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. I learned the hard way. Maybe they would do a better job if the stopped smoking weed while working. read more

Got my driver and passenger side windows done plus my rear hatch window...everything came out well no bubbles or scratch marks But since I had my front windows done I got a fix it ticket which wasn't there fault cause I was warned :) Either way the tint was removed real quick and I continue to not have any problems with there work read more

This place gets the job done for a good price. The customer service isn't off the charts but they greet you and say thank you. It's got that "bro" shop vibe so I wouldn't go here if you don't like that. They fixed my issue without hesitation and made it right when I went back in. I am happy about the workmanship, no scratches, clean lines, tucked film so you can't see where it ends. Don't come here thinking your car is a Ferrari. It won't be treated like that. It's a local spot that you can get your windows tinted quickly for a good price. Overall happy with the experience and will be taking in another car. read more

Both me and my dad came in here and were both super satisfied with not only there work but there customer service. They kept it very professional and the work was very detailed. Felt like a family environment and at ease while they worked on are cars. Thanks guys for the work and also to Jefferey. I would definitely recommend this place in watsonville, ca read more

No appointment needed! They gave an estimate on the spot and explained the process . They had to remove the old film installed by the previous owner of the vehicle and install a entire new film. They were quick and did a great job ! Recommend and will be doing business with them again. read more

Don't let these idiots anywhere near your car. THEYRE NOT AFRAID TO DAMAGE IT. First off, they broke my driver's window doing the initial $160 install. They broke a clip holding my window in place so it could no longer roll up and down. After threatening to sue they finally ordered the part, and after having to drive around with my window up for a good month, they were ready to fix it. Now at least my Windows work, but now two months later the film starts peeling and shrinking. Now there's about a 1/2" border exposed around my back three Windows, and the rubber seals are just all f***ed at this point. THANK YOU PLATINUM TINTING FOR DESTROYING MY CAR. read more

Great job, inexpensive, fast. Jesse and Jeffrey, great guys. I dropped in for an estimate and they did it on the spot! One hint: bring cash, there's a $5 fee for charges. read more

They did a great job on my golf got quoted from other locations and was satisfied with the quote i got here although it wasn't the cheapest I went ahead and went with it they had the car ready pretty quick too only thing I wish is that they would've called us as soon as it was ready luckily they gave us a pretty good estimate on when it would be ready read more

Best price and quality in town. Other places you'll get over charged and for the cheap material they use quality and quality service it's more then worth it! read more

One star only because I don't know about the service. All I know is their terrible customer service and shabby, dirty waiting area( if you can call an old dirty couch, gross chair and filthy carpet a waiting area) is so terrible I really can't score it. I wanted to get my car windows tinted and read their reviews here and had a referral from a friend.This how it went for me. Called Thursday afternoon to ask if I needed an appt for Friday .An employee said no not necessary, just call Friday and we will take care of it.Friday I call ask if I need an appt , employee said no just come in..ok so I go there and there isn't any real office, no one to greet customers and very disorganized....employees munching on hamburgers, a couple guys doing windows and I don't know who I'm supposed to talk to, so I'm just waiting walking around when a guy doing windows asks if I need help...duh...umm yea Id like to get my windows tinted,the guy says ok and the wait is over two hours to get my car in the building not including installation...the guy says you can wait if you want.I said ok....where do I wait....in there he says....the dungeon is what I call it now. I sat for a minute as left....there is no way I could ever recommend this place to anyone if they don't care about customer service. My time and effort is worth so much more, maybe that's the reason why they are cheaper than the rest.....I'll pay more just for the customer service...price isn't everything! read more

I have a 2003 Audi a4. I called Blackout Tinting at noon today, brought the car in at 1, and it was done by 3. I couldn't get a ride until later, so they even stayed open late for me! The car looks great, and they have a lifetime warranty against bubbles, peeling, or fading just in case. Everyone was very nice and helpful, and I highly recommend them!! read more

This spot is unprofessional. The staff is rude and unfriendly. Took my car to get my windows tinted and was told i would cost around $175 dollars for all 5 windows. Plus they take around 3 hours to get them done the only reason why people go to this place is because its the only place in watsonville to get them tinted. I wouldnt trust this place with there expensive unproffesional service. read more

Quality: Low Do NOT go here if you want the job done right. Go here if you want a cheap job on a vehicle you don't really care too much about. You get what you pay for. This shop originally did work on my car earlier this year. They did a decent job the first around. I can't complain. Plus it was pretty cheap compared to other shops in the area. Also, they were really good about fixing bubbles, wrinkles, etc. after the job was completed. Good enough for me to recommend several of my friends (from So Cal & the Bay Area) looking for an affordable window tinting place. I recently had to replace my back driver's side window so I just needed that particular window to be tinted. I got several quotes from other professional places, but they all told me the same thing...their film is of higher quality and would not look the same on my car. I would either have to pay to re-tint the entire car with high quality film elsewhere or pay $35 at this place to tint one window. I figured I don't need to re-tint my entire car, so I'll see if they can just tint one window with the same film. Worst mistake! I should've paid to get the job done right. Not only did they use the wrong tint film/level, but they left visible bubbles, wrinkles, etc. throughout the window. Customer Service: Appalling Not only was the job quality low, but their customer service was border line "shameful." Worst customer experience I have ever received in the bay area/central coast. When I drove off I noticed that the tint level of the window I had tinted was off (compared to the rest of the windows which were done with the same film) which I found to be kind of odd. Not a problem right? I called and spoke with an older male who gave me a hard time about it and basically wanted to charge me again to have it fixed. Why would I pay again for someone not doing their job right the first time? I trusted these guys as tint specialists to figure out the difference when it comes to tint levels, especially if they did the job the first time around, with the same film. After I questioned why I would be charged again he had the audacity to say "go elsewhere if you want, go for it, we're the best, can't find a better place around here." What business and/or associate in their right mind would avoid an issue and encourage a returning customer to go elsewhere? You simply fix the problem and keep that customer satisfied. THAT same customer will eventually bring you more business. Long story short, shop manager, latino male w/tattoos, got on the phone and told me to "stop bitching" and also suggested that I go elsewhere if I don't like it. I told him that I have recommended many of my friends to his shop and don't appreciate his customer service, especially being a representative of the company. He said, "I don't give a sh** about who you recommend to the shop, I don't need them" and told me "come to the shop and tell me to my face if you have a problem." What business talks to their customers like that? Great business owners never burn bridges with returning customers, especially over a $35 job that could've been easily resolved. He must not know that customer retention has a direct impact on profitability. Believe me, this particular location is far from the best, but they are one of the "cheapest" in the area. As I previously mentioned, go here if you want a cheap job on a vehicle you don't really care too much about. You get what you pay for. I have heard great things about their Gilroy shop, so I hope the owner, Jesse G., takes note of this incident and acts accordingly. Customer service experiences like these can ruin your business. read more
