I have been using Preferred Window Tinting for all of my cars and my extended family uses them too. The lady who makes appointments and answers phones is great and explains the different tint colors to you and answers all of your questions. I would recommend them to everyone. read more

Really good experience. I took my car in to get the windows tinted and they did an awesome job. It took them about 2 hours, as promised, which wasn't bad since we dropped off the car and headed out to run errands. One thing (totally my fault) that kinda made me rethink the tint was getting limo tint in the back. The employee warned me that it would be difficult to see out of at night, but I went ahead and got it. Now I'm thinking I should have gone lighter. I decided to upgrade to the heat resistance option. I'm sure I will love that in the summer. Also, my fiance used Google Maps to get there and it took me all the way out to Quartz Hill for some reason which made me late to my appointment. I guess this has happened before to other customers. read more

I have always used and recommended Preferred Window Tinting. Their lifetime guarantee is awesome. I had it installed on my first vehicle almost 10 years ago and never had a problem. I've referred at least 3 people I can think of and not one of them has had a problem with the quality of work. Next vehicle I have tinted I'm going to go with the heat shielding tint. In this valley we need it! read more

This place is top notch!!! The customer service is great, they use quality materials, fast, efficient, and overall a very pleasant experience!!! The only place I would recommend. read more

190$ for all windows. Very good deal in my opinion... they were fast and my car looks amazing!!! Will be recommending and will return in the future . read more

I only use preferred window tinting for all my vehicles. When you find a good company you stick with them. Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten, but the rates are fair and competitive as well. read more

I chose Preferred Window Tinting based on the Yelp reviews and I am fully satisfied with their work. I used to frequent a tint place in North Hills, but this is a lot closer to home and more convenient for me. The work was very good. No problems at all with the quality of the materials or workmanship. They left a razor blade on my seat... but since I luckily didn't sit on it, I'm not complaining. read more

Awesome service and great quality work! I came in yesterday to get my new car tinted and they definitely did a great job! I would highly recommend this place! read more

We went to this place to get tinting for our new truck. I did not know if the Truck had factory tinting on it so they were able to actually come out and look at it and tell me what I needed to do as far as tinting is concerned. We were in and out quickly and the prices were very reasonable. The quality of the tinting is also very good and professional so we are happy with it. Thank you read more

Getting my newest car tinted, and it won't be here. I have had 3 cars tinted here, and I don't know why I kept coming back after my first experience. They charged me the same price when I brought them the glass windows (for my project car) where they could do the work on a bench rather that in the car. They acted like they were doing me a favor by saying the window was curved, so they couldn't promise it wouldn't bubble. It didn't, so lucky me I guess. I kept one car for a long time (10+years), and the tint peeled off. I brought it back for warranty work (can't find warranty info on their website now). I don't recall it being a huge hassle. However, they repaired only the worst portion, but left the less bad areas which they should have repaired at the same time. I was bothered with the brown color vs blue on glass pieces right next to each other, they said it's the new supplier blah blah, and I let it go. Once the rest of the tint started flapping in the wind if you rolled down windows, I requested it be warranted again. I came in and was told I couldn't do it during the weekend, if I recall correctly. Does it actually say that on my warranty card or their website? I said I'm only here and available on the weekend. They were no help. I came back on a holiday during week. This time they demanded the original warranty card/receipt that I had presented for the first warranty work. I said I can't find it at the moment, perhaps you guys kept it last time for warranty work and obviously you would have a record of my plate/name/VIN something. She told me if I read my warranty (which I couldn't because I didn't have it), it required that I present it each time for warranty work. Poor communication and service. The girl was either making food orders for staff or bringing food in for the staff, so customer service wasn't her priority as I stood and waited. Obviously the whole fiasco was an attempt to avoid warranty work. Use this place at your own risk or if you don't think you'll need the warranty (if they still offer it). In my opinion, they obviously don't stand behind their work and make customers jump through unnecessary hoops to get what they paid for. My advice to the company: don't offer a warranty if you don't stand behind your product and your work. Why are weekends only for new customers? It's the information age and some faded paper copy (that I luckily kept for 10+ years) is unnecessary when you should have all the necessary information in your system to see that I actually bought the tint and own the car. I'll try to update with photos of their peeling tint. read more

I've been debating between here and a few other local shops and glad I decided on here. Great service, they were very detailed with their selection and aftercare. I spend about an hour and a half waiting there but I was in no rush. Came out looking great, definitely made me double look to make sure that was my car lol I highly recommend here and will be taking any future cars here as well! read more

Preferred Window Tinting - Tint makes such a huge difference! - Home Window Tinting Near Me - Lancaster, California

THE BEST TINT I HAVE EVER USED ON ANY VEHICLE I OWN!!! I have used Formula 1/LLUMAR for about 18 years and it is the only tint I will put on my vehicle. I had a 1997 ford escort for about 13 years. The tint out lasted the car. 13 years later, the tint was still good. A bit old, but good. It is more expensive but worth every penny. You get what you pay for. The level of comfort and heat resistance is very obvious VS the ghetto trash tint you get at other places. Other tints are cheaper but they do not deflect heat and glare. They tend to peel, crack bubble and fade later down the road. i paid about 695 to have the RAM tinted all around (including the windshield). By buddy at work paid 250 to have his RAM tinted at a ghetto place. He laughed at me. Apparently I am stupid. after 24 months, his ghetto tint began to fade and turn purple. Now I am laughing. Who is the stupid one??? If you live in AV, I recommend this tint. The Stratos 15 series in unbelievable. Its like have a wall deflecting the heat. Pricy, but worth it. My truck can sit for hours, and the inside is only very warm vs scorching with cheap tint. Please read my review of Rydell RAM!!! It will entertain you!!! I no longer recommend domestic cars!!! they tend to have numerous defect issues!!!! read more

Made an appointment to have my windows tinted. Showed up and the guy says they can't do removal because the chemicals they use make the workers sick with their masks. Okay. How about buying the proper mask for your workers who are using chemicals? Went to another tint shop and they did the job no problem and with a lifetime guarantee. What a way to lose business. read more

Very satisfied with my window tints. They had the car done within the 3 hour time frame. I made an appointment, planned for my mom to pick me up and drop back off (although you can wait in their waiting room), and the 3 hour time frame went smoothly. My car is a lot cooler inside and looks very professional and nice. read more

Prefered Window Tinting provides exceptional quality and customer service. Owner Todd and Susan at the front desk were personable, professional, and patient to explain the variety of window tinting options and prices available.

This place is the ONLY place I've trusted to tint three of my cars & each time its been exceptional all around. I JUST walked in the door after picking up my car from this business and I can't say enough about how happy I am. From the service over the phone & in person- to the quality of the job done... it's all top notch! Thank you to the team at Preferred, I highly recommend! read more

Took my 2016 Sequoia in for all over tinting. They did a good job. It was reasonably priced. The tint is still looking good three months later. They got the car done pretty quickly, about four hours. The customer service was okay. I'm not looking for some long drawn out conversations, just tell me the price, I'll pay, you do your part, I'll do mine. That's exactly what we got. read more

Very satisfied. I got a quote via Yelp, called the next day, and was able to schedule a same day appointment. I was able to wait in the waiting room and the job for 5 windows (plus two little ones) was done quickly. I think that's the advantage of getting the work done on a weekday. It's been two weeks now and it looks perfect. I'm very happy! read more

Great job at Preferred as usual. Got the front windows done and windshield visor. Love it!!'

Took my car here to finally get tinted. The service was quick and the results are great. It's only been 1 month but no issues so far.

I walked in to this place and the lady who seemed to be with someone yells out "Do you have an appointment? Did you call we're very busy with appointments! Can you leave it for three hours? I can give you an appointment for 2:30." I'm thinking to myself "I have no problem waiting my turn but umm yeah." The customer service I received gave me the impression that I was inconveniencing them so I took my business to Spectrum Window Tinting where they made me feel welcomed and that my business was appreciated. Momma said "It's not what you say but how you say it." read more

The tint came out good but their service was bad. I wouldn't go back. The receptionist vacuumed the whole time dropping off the car and rushed me on picking out tint. Then when I picked up the car I waited for 15 mins with other employees in the lobby and they didn't even bother to help. She finally came out of the back on her cell phone chatting it up, didn't even hang up and told me all my instructions in 2 seconds and sent me on my way. I wouldn't go back. read more

Just went in after reading the rave reviews about this place to get a quote on my Cadillac ATS. I walk in and the employees are laying on the couches chatting and not one of them stopped to ask if I needed help, they just kinda looked at me and then finally the girl at the desk asks if I need help. I said I'm looking for a quote and she's asks if that was the car that just pulled up? I'm like yeah the Cadillac and before she can answer, another girl sitting over on the couches ( without even looking up from texting) says $195. The girl behind desks says "no , isn't a Cadillac a luxury car?" And then one of the guys laying on the couch says yeah...the girl (still texting) says "oh, $225" . I said ok thank you as I turned and walked out...with the girl behind the desk saying that includes the lifetime warranty. You all made my decision very clear with your shear unprofessional customer service! I'm sorry I interrupted your clearly oh so important talking and then made you think about the prices you're telling your potential customers. Apparently you are so busy with customers that it is OK to treat potential clients so rudely. I will never recommend your services to anyone looking to have their windows tinted and hope that you stay as obviously busy as you were (while your entire staff sat on their a$$es) in this dying economy. read more

What good is a business if you literally refuse to help a customer after the "MANAGER" made the mistake. Whats that saying "The customer is always right."? Apparently not to these guys! Very unprofessional and i would never recommend them again! Take more consideration to the bad reviews then the good. You might be the next bad review. So i got my car tinted here and after my decent experience i went and recommended them to a friend. I told him i cant really say much about the quality of work they did because the tint takes up to several weeks to set in and i just got it done. So until then i cant say they do good work. They do not make the tinting themselves they sell "Formula 1" tint from their shop so they cant take credit for the quality of the tint only the work they do. I told my friend about my experience and how the MANAGER which is the receptionist that I had to ask the questions/ All she said was "what tint do you want?" Of course me never tinting my car before i didnt know anything about tint. So i asked all the questions and i figured out what i wanted. She quoted me 2 hours to come back so i left. When i returned after 3 hours the manager went through my paper work and found that it was incomplete and started yelling at her employee which i think might have been her husband but regardless very unprofessional and embarrassing for me to witness. After she left to do the paperwork her (husband?) apologized for what happened. After she finished my paperwork she gave me the keys and i left. When i was leaving i noticed the workers left their tools on the floor of my backseat. When i returned them the Manager started saying playfully "Ooooooo who left their tools in the car!?!" laughing and didn't even apologize or say thank you for bringing it back. So when i recommended them to my friend his experience was completely different. Long story short he asked for the 2 front driver and passenger windows to be Premium tint at 35% and the back 3 Classic tint at 5%. That same Manager quoted him $245 and when he returned she quoted him $345. When he asked why the price changed when he asked for the $245 plan she apparently was silent for a good while. Then she refused to say that he asked for the $245 and that he wanted all Premiums. With my friends girlfriend there to confirm everything as a witness she was still in denial. She literally said "THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT." They never helped my friend out so he payed +$100 more for something he didn't even want in the first place. So with that being said i will NEVER recommend them to anyone and now i get to live with the guilt of them scamming my friend because i referred him to them. read more

Staff was very helpful! Todd the owner has been very straight forward and honest with me and made great suggestions for my needs. Price point was great for the product and service received! I have had 5 cars (window tinting) done beginning in 1998 and ALL my vehicles have withstood the heat here in the desert! TIP: Spend the extra money and get the ceramic tint. I will be a lifetime customer!!! read more

The good: They did a great job on the installation and it is an excellent product. They did show me a car tinted and I selected the tint darkness based on the look on the car in the daytime. The areas where improvement is needed: I felt a bit rushed into choosing the tint darkness and especially afterwards, I felt as though i did not truly have a detailed understanding all of my options. They also did not give me any idea of what would happen if i wasn't satisfied with the product/service after install. (I'll admit part of it was on me as i should have asked). They told me if my night vision was good, these tint levels would be fine. That ended up not being the case. After the install my wife and I took it out and while the daytime driving is perfect, at night, the front windows were so dark they were unsafe. I called and asked what they could do for me and they said they could remove and re-install the fronts at a lighter tint for $145 instead of $165. I spoke with the owner and we had a good conversation but I am still a bit disappointed in the customer service post-install. I was willing to compromise but $20 off is not much of a meet in the middle. I wish they had spent more up-front time with me to help understand the levels of tint darkness. I had no idea how dark it would be at night. Recommendations: I would recommend having a more comprehensive setup/simulation/visuals to allow people to see/experience the variety of tint darknesses (in day and night conditions) they offer before the customer chooses a product and darkness and before they install or at least have a more comprehensive discussion to set expectations appropriately. This should include what the risks are and consequences if the customer is unhappy with the tint darkness in day and/or night driving. Another option would be to do something substantial to make it right for the unsatisfied customer especially when the only complaint is unsafe night driving conditions. This is a product/service where the customer cannot try before they buy so this places all of the risk on the customer. Therefore, significant up-front discussion/visuals/graphics/simulation/etc... should be used to reduce some of the risk on the customer. Do everything you can up-front before the customer spends significant money to ensure you'll have a fully satisfied customer after they spend significant money. Conclusion: The instalI was great and the product is excellent. The daytime driving is excellent. The up front unknowns and being met with very little help to fix my nighttime unsafe driving condition were disappointing. I spent $590 on the entire car and they want to charge me another $145 to redo my front windows. I do not feel this is "making it right" for the customer. I would be happy to meet in the middle to make it right and that would restore my full trust in their business. My reason for posting this is to help future customers understand the risks they incur with a product/service like this and to help the business/customer service improve. read more

I went to this place about a week ago. Lisa (I think that's her name) was very friendly and informative. She answered all my questions and so did all the staff. The guy who actually did my tinting pointed out the scuffs on my new car before the service... That was great of him to do. I went on a Monday and was amazed with their fast service. The job was done in about 1 hour and 15 minutes!!!! I used to go to another place since 1998, but I found my new home for car tinting. So far, I've had no issues with my tint job (7 days). read more

Took 2 cars in today, not surprised by the quality. A great job on the tint for both cars and the 'desk lady' was very nice. Told me about the process and a few things to keep an eye on, great about honesty. Will return with my other car guaranteed. Great work, great staff. read more

Keep searching, don't try these guys! I was referred to them by some dealerships, and took my Mercedes and Porsche in at the same time. He broke trim on the mercedes, to the tune of 250+ dollars, and did a poor job on the porsche, trying to cover it up with a MARKER! The gave pathetic reasons for their screw-ups and did not make anything right. Look for a shop with a little more integrity. read more
