Don't trust your new car with Silicon Valley Tinting. Read this first. I chose Silicon Valley Tinting because their website promises workmanship that's "done once, done right." I paid $1,836 for front-half PPF and front window tint on my brand new, off the lot Tesla my first brand new vehicle (and dropped it off on June 16 expecting exactly that). My original priority was PPF, since Tesla paint is known to chip easily and protecting it was my primary concern. While my vehicle was at the shop, Cesar offered to install the front window tint as well, and I decided to have both services completed at the same time. Here's what happened instead: The driver's window tint developed bubbles, and I was told at pickup to return for a one-month follow-up. I texted Cesar on July 17 to schedule that follow-up. I received no response until after my husband called him, and I wasn't able to bring the car back until July 29. On July 29, the Andrew confirmed the driver's tint needed to be completely replaced because of the bubbles. I upgraded from 20% to 15% during the redo and paid an additional $50. After picking up my vehicle, I noticed what looked like a piece of lint or debris trapped under the driver's window tint. Andrew told me it would go away on its own. It didn't. I also noticed damage to my driver-side window seal that I had not observed before the work was performed. Andrew photographed it and said he would look into it. The PPF I paid a premium for still had a bubble on the hood. I brought all of these issues back to the shop. Andrew told me they didn't use any tool that could have caused that type of patterned damage but said he was "trying to get to the bottom of it." I then had Tesla Service independently inspect the window seal, and they provided a repair estimate of $126.90. I requested a refund in writing. Cesar responded that he would resolve the matter if it was determined to be related to their work and asked me to bring the vehicle back a third time for another inspection. We also spoke by phone, during which he disputed that the shop caused the damage and again asked me to return the vehicle. I declined. After one failed tint installation, a redo that still came back with a defect, a remaining PPF bubble, and damage to my driver-side window seal that I had not observed before the work was performed, I no longer had confidence in returning my brand-new Tesla to the shop. My final message requesting a refund from Cesar went unanswered. Even with a warranty on paper, I was not offered a resolution. One failed tint installation. A redo that still didn't get it right. Three unresolved defects. A refund request met with silence. Mistakes happen. What defines a business is how it responds when those mistakes are brought to its attention. I gave Silicon Valley Tinting a second opportunity to make things right. Instead, I was left with unresolved defects, no resolution that restored my confidence, and a refund request that ended without a response. I hope my experience helps you make an informed decision before handing over your keys. UPDATE 8/14/26: I posted my review on 8/12. The next day, another customer posted about a very similar experience with their brand-new BMW--multiple returns for tint issues followed by damage discovered after the work. Today, 8/14, I noticed NUMEROUS new 5-star reviews were posted. I can't speak to anyone else's experience or how those reviews came about, but the timing is certainly noticeable. Readers can make their own assessment. As for my situation, I told Cesar I no longer felt comfortable allowing the shop to work on my brand-new car and requested a refund for the tint. He read my message and never responded. Mistakes happen. It's how a business handles them that matters. I gave them the opportunity to make this right. Unfortunately, my experience has only reinforced my original review.
Cesar from Silicon Valley Tinting was very nice, communicative, and professional. He and his team started with my car by a Ceramic Tinting, which was fairly quick (only a few hours, ate dinner and came back). Couple weeks later, I dropped off for the PPF and ceramic coating work. If you didn't know, they do a lot more than just tinting! It took an extra day, but it was worth the wait from what I can see. The car looks brand-new, arguably shinier than when I bought it from the dealer. Cesar mentioned that they had to ensure it was washed (twice!) and inspected before showing it to me. The pricing for the services was reasonable in my opinion, and reflect the quality of work well. You can tell they really want to make sure the work looks good and lasts. Cesar even said to come back in a month for a complementary check-up on the coatings and some extra detailing. I'm very happy with this place and will recommend it to anyone in the Bay Area!
Silicon Valley Tinting completely saved my car. I brought them my S2000 after a really bad experience installing PPF at a different shop that left a ton of jagged lines and gaps on my fresh paint. They safely steamed off the old messed-up film and did a flawless, custom hand-cut wrap on the entire front end (bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors, and headlights). Every single edge is tucked, the coverage around the grille is 100% complete, and it looks like glass. It took a couple of days, but the attention to detail was definitely worth the wait. They are honest, super professional, and gave me total peace of mind for my upcoming move.
The service was excellent! I could not be happier with my experience. I will use their service again and recommend to anyone looking for an impeccable car detail!!
Outstanding Tint & Wrap Work - Best in San Jose I don't usually write reviews, but Silicon Valley tinting absolutely earned this one. From the moment I walked in, the experience was professional and smooth. The staff took time to explain all my options, answered every question without rushing me, and made sure I understood the differences between the films and wrap materials. You can tell they actually care about quality, not just pushing a sale. The workmanship is where they really stand out. My tint came out perfect no bubbles, no dust, no uneven edges. The wrap work was flawless with clean lines and incredible attention to detail. The car honestly looks better than I imagined, and I've already gotten multiple compliments. Turnaround time was exactly what they promised, pricing was fair for the level of quality, and the shop itself is clean and well organized which says a lot. This is clearly a team that takes pride in their work. If you're in San Jose and want high-quality tint or wrap work done right the first time, don't waste time shopping around. Silicon Valley tinting is the real deal. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending them to anyone who asks. Highly recommended.
I drove 1 hr to get my new car tinted just to have to come back 2 more times because ig my windows can't be tinted properly the first NOR the SECOND time. What's even worse is that there were MORE bubbles the second time it was done. I paid $350 expecting good quality tint and service and tried being patient and understanding but to have to come back a 3rd time with no compromise other than being offered for me to drive all the way back and HOPEFULLY this time it will be done right is actually ridiculous. I hate complaining but it's just extensive atp. I'm not asking for a refund, I just want my tint done right and not have to drive an hour every-time my tint is messed up.
Fast, easy, affordable, great customer service Just got a new car and needed 4 windows + back windshield tinted. Sent them a message and had the appointment 2 days after. Got my car picked up from work at 8am, my car was ready and dropped off by 11am. It didn't even take all morning. Cesar was really great and very communicative10/10 would recommend again.
I was not going to come on here , but after what we have experienced I think people should be aware of this place. We took my mom's truck to get wrapped at this shop. At first guy was super cool until we brought the truck back because the vinyl was a complete disaster! (You can see the pictures) he said he will fix it but honestly the truck was the same poor quality vinyl. He failed to explain many things when we first took the truck! Being that we had already taken the truck a second time to him we decided to get a second opinion with another vinyl wrap person . That's when we discovered they had done a lot of paint damaged and scratched the paint really bad. (See pictures) till today he refuses to answer my mom's text inquiring about her refund. We showed up at his shop so he can look at the trash they did and all he can do is laugh and say that he doesn't see a problem with the wrap job! I'm sure we are not the first customers to come back and demand a refund because look at the messed they did. PLEASE BE AWARE!
I got my windows tinted by Silicon Valley Tinting and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. For a while I was looking for a place to get my windows tinted therefore I chose to contact Silicon Valley Tinting. The company was efficient in getting in contact with and got back to me promptly. They are very helpful in choosing which tints to best choose for your car, the owner was also super friendly and made sure to update me on the process. The installation process was quick and efficient, and the quality of the work is exceptional. I am really pleased with their work on my windows as I'm very satisfied with the overall outcome! I highly recommend this company for window tinting.

Had an amazing experience getting my vehicle protected with PPF, ceramic coating, and window tint. Cesar was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish and, most importantly, completely transparent about the process, pricing, and options. I never felt pressured and always knew exactly what I was getting. The entire team did an amazing job, and the quality of the work speaks for itself. Highly recommend Cesar and the team to anyone looking for professional vehicle protection. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I unfortunately cannot recommend this business after the experience I've had with Cesar having my entire brand-new BMW tinted here. I originally brought my car to this shop to have the whole vehicle professionally tinted. Unfortunately, I had to return three separate times just to have issues with the tint corrected and the job made right by his technicians. I tried to remain patient and give the shop every opportunity to correct the work because I understand that sometimes adjustments are needed. However, the situation became much more serious after the front windshield tint. I discovered a long, deep scratch across my windshield that was absolutely not there before the tint installation. Based on the appearance and location of the damage, it appears that a blade or installation tool was dragged across the windshield during the tinting process. This is a brand-new vehicle, which makes the entire situation even more disappointing. After already returning three times over the tint installation, I am now having to deal with an insurance claim, repair/replacement estimates, and having the windshield on my new car replaced. I have tried to handle this respectfully and give the business an opportunity to work with me. Mistakes can happen, but what matters is how a business responds when something goes wrong. I expected the shop to take full responsibility for the situation and help make it right rather than leaving me to deal with the insurance process and damage that was not present when I brought the vehicle in. I paid this business to professionally tint and protect my entire vehicle. I did not expect to make three return visits and then discover significant damage to my windshield. I have photographs documenting the windshield damage as well as records related to the tint service and the situation. I sincerely hope the business takes responsibility and works with me and the insurance companies to resolve this appropriately. If the shop ultimately makes this right, I am more than willing to update my review to reflect that. But based on my experience up to this point, I cannot recommend this business, especially to someone bringing in a brand-new or high-value vehicle. read more
