I did a little research ahead of time of course here on Yelp, to find a top notch window tinting company. The reviews were very informative and not only that, this place was close to home and right along with the other estimates in cost. It was barely 2 weeks and a couple days that I had just bought my Benz AMG with the factory clear windows and I just felt something wasn't right.. so I made an appointment for a Saturday morning. Super convenient for me, as I walked home after I dropped off the car. 5 hours later was notified it was ready to pickup. I went with basically the best available ceramic tint at 15% all around. Very heat resistant and totally happy with the professional attitude, quality and killer look overall! Highly recommend these guys! read more

A friend referred me to this location for tint, windshield protection, PPF & ceramic coating. Andrew was so fast to respond via email and quickly broke down the costs for a car like mine. Upon meeting Andrew for my appointment, he was very informative and further broke down what each service would benefit and not benefit as much. He's very knowledgeable and eased any concerns I had. Saved so much money going with San Diego Tint and I can't recommend them enough! read more

Wonderful customer service, price and quality of tint. Definitely recommend San Diego Tint.

This shop honored a tint warranty several years back so when it was time to tint our new car, I knew we had to come back. Service was great and the owner there is very knowledgeable. He was honest about not having to do the tint on the roof since the temperature inside would still be relatively the same. Prices are also competitive. For any warranty, just make sure you keep your original receipt! read more

I've brought in 4 cars over the years to be tinted here and will continue to do so. They work fast, do excellent work and at a fair price. I brought my Bronco in a few weeks ago and had the front two windows tinted, they look great!!! I was interested in windshield protection and was given very honest advice and information about the process. I decided not to go in that direction for now. I really appreciated the owner explaining it to me instead of just taking my money. This is the exact reason why they have such awesome reviews. Thanks again!! read more

San Diego Tint - Auto Detailing Near Me - La Mesa, California

Drew and crew have tinted over 9 cars for me and my family over the years, one of which I just sold after 7yrs of ownership. The tint on it still looked as perfect as the day I got it. They use quality product here. If you're looking to save a few bucks and for cheap budget tint where the tint will fade and bubble after a few years, this is not the place for you. If you're looking for quality product, quality installation, and a shop that stands behind their work, you will find no better in San Diego. This review is long overdue! read more

Perfect tint job every single time! If you want to bring your car in one and done and not have to worry about a thing afterwards, San Diego tint is it!!! This the only place I trust to tint my cars! Andrew is great and easy to work with. I've brought him three car in the last 10 years and the results are perfect each time! It drives me nuts seeing cars with bubble tint all around the car and I always think... how in the world can you see out of the car!?! Never gonna happen here! Save yourself the headache and have your car looking picture perfect and exactly how you want it! The Honda still looks amazing and the Tesla tint is flawless.

This is best tint shop in San Diego. He has perfect work. He has tinted 6 of our cars and let tell you there isn't a single bubble or imperfection when we pick up.. bubbles are normal but his work is so perfect there isnt any.. I messed up this time and took my model x closer to home cuz we moved to north county and spend top dollar 2k!!! To make sure it was perfect work and it was the worst job ever that made me cry. He deserves to charge more his prices are insanely good for the amazing work you get. I feel so sad I didn't make the drive here :( but I just had a baby and being almost an hour away I thought I could go somewhere else and it would be ok but I was wrong.. read more

SAVE YOUR RECEIPT!! Every one star review on here (including mine) will be for the exact same asinine excuse of why they won't honor their "warranty" I mean, of course the owner (Andrew) could easily look up your invoice order. But he won't. I brought my 2017 4-door Hyundai Elantra here several years again. Probably around 2018 or maybe a little later. The did all 5 windows and did a really good job. They did my BMW 525 a few years before that and they did a good job on that one as well. Fast forward to 2024 when the back window of my Elantra is completely bubbled, as well as a small triangle window on the back door. So I called and left a message on a Friday afternoon about getting them redone per their "lifetime warranty". Andrew was kind enough to call me back the following Monday and the first thing he asked me was "do you have your original receipt".....I kindly stated no and asked is he could look up my work order. In his best used car salesmen voice, Andrew proceeds to tell me they can't honor the "warranty" without the original receipt because they submit it to the film manufacturer for reimbursement. Hmmmmm....thats odd Andrew because the manufacturer didn't install the film on my car, you did. He then tells me that he'll remove and replace the rear film and give me a shop" warranty" and charge me $100... Clearly Andrew's definition of "Warranty"... And my definition of "Warranty"... Are two different things. That's not a warranty, that's called a discount. I shopped around and found a reputable company to just redo all 5 windows in case the "faulty film" from San Diego tint stated to bubble elsewhere on my Elantra. If I'm going to have to pay money to get something replaced, I'll do it with a company that will stand behind its product and installation. Not with a company they will create laughable loopholes to gouge you for a $100 bucks. If you're that hard up for $100 dollars Andrew, you might want to rethink your business plan. Take your business elsewhere. You'll thank me. read more

Just had my sedan tinted here today. When I first asked about price he said $550-$650 so I apologized and said I had to cancel my apt then he said how about $250 for just the side windows and we skip the back window. I agreed to that price but he charged my credit card $360. I didn't even notice until I got home. I called and he said the upgraded carbon film costs 100 extra. I was shocked, he never mentioned different product options with price differences. We got into it and he eventually refunded 105 cash but the whole thing felt like a bait and switch operation, his words not mine. Was it all a misunderstanding? Maybe he just forgot to mention it? If I had been given the option to get a premium product for an extra $100 I would have gone with the cheaper option 100%. Also the one back window costs $300, wow! So, I ended up getting just my side windows for $255. I want to share my experience because I drove all the way to this location specifically, passing other tinting places because of all the good reviews and I wanted to support a small locally owned business instead of a big box store but ended up feeling regretful about my choice. He doesn't have prices posted anywhere on the website or in the shop, now I know why. Edit: the saga continues, when I called about being overcharged he tried to tell me he was clear about the price but I told him to roll back the tapes, I saw the security cameras he could see for himself, so he refunded me. After seeing the review here he left me several messages and phone calls gaslighting me. See attached. Andrew: to avoid this you should write down the job and price on a piece of paper and have us sign it when we give you our keys, Problem solved. BTW your competitor down the street is doing full car ceramic tint plus the back window for $99, I wish I had gone there rather than getting the half job I got and I would have saved a lot of money and the headache too. I don't see how you think anyone is supposed to be happy about this situation. read more

After 7 years, the rear window tint started to peel badly. I called the shop up and asked about the life time warranty. Andrew honored it, asked for the receipt, took some pictures of the tint, submitted the claim (took about 5 business days), scheduled me and bam a new tint was installed at no cost. read more

I called around to a few places and came to SD Tint, it was close, convenient & priced right. When I arrived they made room for me right away, Fadi helped me select the right tint levels & told me it would take about 2 hrs. I walked around the corner, had lunch came back and saw they had Netflix in the wait room. Fadi was very easy to work with, all the guys were very courteous, kind and helpful. You can't go wrong here, they are the best!! read more

Andrew (owner) is Amazing and very knowledgeable. He's straight to the point, honest and uses high quality tint (ceramic). My car had tinted windows 5% rear, 15% backseat, and no tint on front or windshield. He removed the previous tint and installed ceramic and it looks amazing. It looks great. 5% rear, 15% back, 35% front and 70% windshield. I can even see BETTER from the inside when I check my blind spots! I was worried it would be the opposite. I will update with pictures soon! It's dark now. I was concerned about minor details but I felt a lot better after I spoke with Andrew the morning after. So everything is good. I would gladly come again and refer friends and family. The price is well worth it. read more

The owner responded to my original post saying that I was reviewing a different business, so I posted a redacted copy of my receipt and then he proceeded to direct message me and tell me that I am insane and that it never happened. This guy is too much! Do yourself a favor and take it to another shop where you know the owner will install and charge you correctly, will value your business and ask questions before they give you answers. read more

San Diego Tint - This 1 star review is 100% for your business. I had been coming here for years with countless recommendations, you blew it - Auto Detailing Near Me - La Mesa, California

I recently bought a new car and it didn't come with factory tinted windows. Since I visit family in Arizona now and then, I knew with the summer heat that I would want some tint to help keep my car cool. I searched on Yelp and found San Diego Tint in La Mesa. There were other businesses that looked great, but their reputation and straight forward pricing convinced me. You can see from their page, they do great work and it was no different for me. I gave them a call and said I could bring my car down the next day between 8am-9am. I was the first person there just after 8am and Andrew walked me through my options on type of tint and color. When I went to pick up my car, he let me know I had about 5 more hours to let the tint dry and should be good to go. Everything came out so nice and the whole experience was so easy! read more

I had my two new vehicles window tinting done with "Andrew" here with San Diego Tint. They did an amazing job! My 2022 Lexus ES300h I had all the windows tinted (7) seven of them. Tint shade was dealerships specifications as if I would have done it with the dealership. My 2022 Acura MDX Advance, I only tinted the two front windows. I told Andrew to match the factory/dealership tint shade. Both cars came out beautiful! I am very very picky of where I send my vehicles to be handled whether mechanically or having it accessorized. Highly recommend San Diego Tint. You'll need to make an appointment as they are very busy. read more

San Diego Tint - San Diego Tint did these windows - Auto Detailing Near Me - La Mesa, California

Andrew is basically a Karen in male form. They have a life time policy that he obviously doesn't like to do. I did my tint 4 years ago and I loved it. My back one started bubbling so I made an appointment to come in to get it fixed. He told me to drop it off at 8am. My boyfriend arrived with my car on time and sat there till 11am he called me and told me my car has just been sitting there so I called and spoke to Andrew. He apologized for not telling me it was going to take five hours on the voicemail that I have. I called and explained to him he shouldn't be lying to customers. You don't tell someone it takes five hours because it takes five hours. It takes five hours because Andrew is just hanging out making phone calls and waiting till someone calls to check up on their car for him to actually start working on it. He got really upset with me on the phone. Took my tint off and kicked my boyfriend out cussing at him saying I ruined it for him? My boyfriend is African and American at one point he threatened to call the cops on him because my boyfriend asked him to put my head rest back on. Anyways we're going back with the cops right now. I'll keep you guys updated Ps andrew. I know you don't want to do free work so just stop offering it. Update: he wanted to call the cops so we came back with the cops then he asked us to leave because its private properties. Anyways can't wait to spend more time in court with you. PSA your life time warranty isn't life time lol he doesn't want to do it basically. Also if anyone is filing a small business civil court case with him please contact me! We can do it as a group. read more

This business owner is a liar and a cheat! Do not waste your time or money going to San Diego Tint! My tint job bubbled on my back window, which you can see from the photos, and the shop has refused to replace the tinting because Andrew stated they need the little envelope that my receipt came in. How does that have anything to do with the fact that I have the receipt, which clearly states what was done and what kind of tint was used! It was GL 20, which you can easily read on the receipt. How can a business lie to their customers and say they give you a national lifetime warranty, when they refuse to honor their own receipt? It just shows they do not want to provide the level of service they claim to give their customers, which is nothing more than a lie. I'm sure they would rather take money from new, unsuspecting customers, rather than replace a poor tint job that clearly was installed using low quality materials. Also, San Diego Tint lies on their own website about being affiliated with the Better Business Bureau. They even use the BBB Logo, even though I contacted the Better Business Bureau to file a complaint and was told San Diego Tint is not a registered business. Andrew liked to lie to his customers about their lifetime guarantee and about being affiliated with the BBB. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY!w Also, Andrew is a complete scam artist and liar. I did not physically threaten anyone, and I have two witnesses who heard the call and heard you deny taking any responsibility for your crappy work. Sorry dude, you like to lie simply to get out of honoring your fake "warranties." Please file a police report because you will then be charged with filing a false report, which is a felony by the way. My two witnesses would love to speak to the police about your lying and writing a false report. It is unfortunate that business owners not only lie about their warranties, but it is pathetic that he lies about being affiliated with the BBB. Just look up the company on their site and you will see he is falsely advertising, which is also illegal in the state of California. I will be filing a claim against you for falsely advertising something that you do not truly offer your customers. Andrew, take a business course and learn how not to lie to your customers about fake warranties for your crappy tint you buy from China. Hahaha. So sad and pathetic. My photos and my receipt don't lie. read more

I recently had Andrew at San Diego Tint fix a tint job from a mobile tint guy I hired several weeks ago. (See my previous review on my profile). I usually wait a few days prior to posting reviews to make sure my tint job sets correctly, however, after interacting with San Diego Tint 2 days in a row, I trust that these guys do the job right and stand behind their work. My previous tint guy I hired left me with visible bubbles and a hair under my front passenger window. I made several attempts at getting him to fix my tint but no luck. When I stopped by San Diego tint, Andrew took a look at my windows and quoted me an honest price. I had them do the job the same day and was out of there within an hour for 2 front windows. I came back the second day to have Andrew tint my fog lights and he noticed there was a small bubble on my passenger side window, he immediately peeled the recent tint they had installed the day prior and had his guys re-do my tint without even me questioning it. Andrew is an honest business owner, takes good care of his customers, knows the job, and does it well. I will recommend him to my co-workers and friends and bring in another car for him to tint for me (our daughters car). read more

SD Tint has tinted both of my vehicles, both times I have bought the life time warranty and I haven't needed it yet. My sedan was ~$200 5+ years ago and my 4Runner was ~$400 this year. Both times quality and speed has been great. The 4Runner bubbled a bit this time which was a bit nerve racking, SD Tint said we needed to let everything settle at least 4 weeks before being getting concerned and they were absolutely right. Right around the four week mark the bubbles finally settled and went away. I would recommend doing some research if you don't know much about tinting. The owner runs a mile a minute and you will get lost if you are not quick enough. read more

It's been a couple months since I got my fronts to match the factory rears from SD Tint. Tint looks great, no issues. On time with the appointment, efficient service, comfortable place to wait, took maybe an hour. The owner went through the different options with me, showed me the tint options against the vehicle, and compared them to the factory rears. Color match + darkness match. It's not the cheapest place in town, but they use quality materials, and do awesome work. It's worth the price to have peace of mind. Ain't nobody got time to have to get tint redone. My spouse also got her Audi done here, also great work. read more

Andrew is awesome! It was easy to schedule an appointment - he took me in the following day I called. I waited in their waiting area with my laptop as Andrew and his crew were working on my car. The whole process took only about an hour and a half! If you plan on waiting, I definitely recommend bringing a laptop (free wifi) or a book. Starbucks is down the street too if you want something to drink or eat. The total was $280 for my 2018 Lexus IS 300 F Sport. He discounts $10 if you bring in cash. Andrew was super friendly, talkative, and overall welcoming. He knows what he's doing and definitely knows how to provide great customer service. My car looks beautiful and flawless. I highly recommend this place to get your tinting services. read more

Highly recommend going to this place to get your windows tinted! The reason why I went to San Diego Tint is because my girlfriend and her family had brought all of their cars to this shop for window tinting in the past and had no complaints whatsoever. Andrew (the owner) was very helpful in explaining the different percentages for the window tints. I went ahead and asked for 15% in the rears and 30% in the fronts. The whole process took a little bit less than 2 hours. 10/10 customer service! Thank you for an amazing job. read more
