    RAV4 tint
    Rogelio T.

    In and out quick. Joseph the owner is very welcoming and explained everything in detail. Took about an hour and now my RAV4 looks great. He also provided warranty which is very important to me.

    Joseph was very responsive, a navy veteran, and did an excellent job. He explained to me the differences in the tent and I would highly recommend his work. The car looks great because of his time, expertise, patience and attention to detail.

    Tinted windows

    Highly recommend! Joseph was exceptionally responsive and his price was more than competitive. It was super convenient to book and he comes to your house. I had my two front windows tinted to match the back and it came out great. And he is just the nicest guy!

    We had just purchased a new car and had to get that fresh tint put on. Did the usual research and reach-outs for quotes. Most couldn't happen until the following week. That is .. until I got the response back from Joseph. He came through the next morning and put on that fresh tint. Looking clean! Considering that I didn't have to go to him, the quality of his work, the professionalism, and his genuine personality, the price reflects tremendous value to me. So much so that we brought him back to put some mirror tint onto the front windows of our home. Now the house looking fresh too. Haha thanks, Joseph!

    Just got my windows tinted by Joseph he was super professional and personable! Did a great job for a great price and was super informative about everything! Highly recommend him!!!

    Super super happy with Joseph's work and have already recommended him to others, including family. He was very communicative via text, answered all of my questions thoroughly, and worked with my unpredictable schedule. He is very knowledgeable about his product and shared information about it compared to competitor products, which I am not used to with tint companies (I loved the transparency). The fact that he is mobile is a huge plus. He showed up when he said he would and even surprised us with a special treat. He took the time to help me choose the right tint for my car, taking the time to show me one, then the other, then the first one again, etc. He is meticulous in his install work, and everything came out absolutely perfect. I am thrilled with the tint on my car and would absolutely hire him again and again. His prices are also very reasonable, which I appreciate, but that does not mean he skimps on quality work. An absolute professional.

The work was done…read morewith care and attention to detail, and they took their time rather than rushing through it. They explained the warranty and aftercare in a straightforward way. What also stood out is that they're using a legitimate professional system, not off-the-shelf products, and applying it properly.

Where things started to slip was on the pickup side. I was told the car was ready, but still ended up waiting about 30-40 minutes before actually getting it. At checkout, I was also surprised to see a tip screen with suggested amounts that felt pretty high given the service. I ended up leaving a small tip, but the experience itself didn't really match that level of expectation. I also would have appreciated a quick walkthrough of the work that was done--especially at that price point--but it was more of a quick handoff of the keys. I came back for the 10-day follow-up and made a point to ask about timing ahead of time. I was told it would take about an hour. I arrived early, but after an hour the car hadn't been touched yet, and there wasn't any update unless I asked. That part was frustrating. So, they ended up rushing my 10-day follow-up inspection. Gave the car a quick rinse and handed me the keys. What was the point of driving down from Carlsbad??? Over 3 hours wasted. For comparison, I had a great experience at their Kearny Mesa location previously, so I know what they're capable of. This location is stretched thin, which seemed to impact communication and overall service. I was not the only customer in the lobby feeling this way. Given the type of clientele they're working with and the pricing, I was expecting a bit more consistency and attention to detail. Their follow-up consisted of more sales pitches of coupons for services I already had done. Would have been nice to have the discounts PRIOR to the work! I planned on using the wash program and mentioned to Jasmine my poor service experience. Think there was follow-up? Nada. So, thumbs "kind of" up for Ceramic Pro but thumbs down for this location. Overall, I think the company itself does good work, and have used the Kearny Mesa location in the past several times with excellent success!! I would not choose this location again.

They were offering a Spring promotion at the time of the Yelp inquiry with Candra who was extremely responsive and helpful. I didn't quite schedule immediately -- more like a month later -- but they kindly honored the original quote when I eventually did follow-up. Jose helped me out at the shop and on the phone beforehand too, making sure I was comfortable with the options and answering all my questions with patience and professionalism. I was super happy with the job, especially with the attention to detail my Subie with all the differently shaped windows required. There's a lifetime warranty for any issues down the road, and I can happily report that a year later, there has been zero bubbling. Thank you to Candra and to the gentlemen at the shop for the superb work, service, AND flexibility! Highly recommend this shop with the most competitive prices in the area!

I asked for a tint quote online and was excited about the fair price plus great reviews. I took it in for tent and a stereo install. He pretended he knew everything about my car and had to charge me $500 to install the stereo. He said he needed to cut the wood around the stereo and that's why it cost so much. I told him that's the wood has already been cut but yet he wanted to keep the price at $500. When we began talking about the tint, he also said now that he sees the car in person he has to charge $1300. That is $500 more than what he quoted online. But somehow, now he didn't know anything about the number of windows or my car... he did when we were talking about the stereo. I was excited to drop off my car and he knew it. This is what we call BAIT AND SWITCH. I know it's a classic car, but it seems like he and everyone else wants to rip me off. I left a shop, extremely disappointed and with heartache.
