    Not only did we have a great experience with the quote process, the team was flexible the day-of when we added additional work. The instillation and after-care information was conveyed well, the work has held up nicely, but more than that, the proof of value is in the savings. We have yet to run our AC system all summer. 12/10, would recommend. Electric bill comparisons: June 2024: $206.49; June 2025: $102.79 July 2024: $473.56; July 2025: $116.82 Aug 2024: $528.40; Aug 2025: $130 (est.) (we hoped for 40% savings, but will actually save 75% this month!)

    Two windows tinted on the inside, two on the outside because they were textured on the inside.

    Professional, Fast, Friendly, and an excellent value I reached out to multiple window tint companies for my house with lots of windows. Carlos and Solar Care were quick to respond, came out, and got me an estimate within a day. We went through all the differences in the film from both the inside and the outside. He even left me samples, which I put up in my window to decide what I wanted (OK, I am picky). After talking with several other companies and getting additional estimates, I went with Solar Care and we had everything installed in less than a week. The installation team was very professional, clean, and did an amazing job. They were also friendly and easy to work with. They took care of my house, and when they left everything was like it started except with beautifully tinted windows. I had several challenging things and even had to do some inside and outside films. They did such a great job on the first 20 windows I reached back out to Carlos and got a quote on another 10 windows which they just completed today a little less than a week from the request. This installation was just as professional and easy to deal with. Solar Care is a first-class operation with reasonable prices. I would highly recommend them.

    Great experience and great guys!! Not only were they really nice, quick to set day/time and on time but they did an amazing job!! I will definitely use them for all my future needs!!

    10/10 quality tints I had gotten a 5% tint on rear window, 25% on side window and a clear ceramic tint on front window. Good service, employees were nice and very easy payment process Good price and reasonable for the best ceramic tint Took them about 2:30 hours to do 4 windows

    Mobile install at my home while I work. 35% ceramic tint all around. Very happy.

    The team at Solar care took care of our new car with 35% ceramic tint all around. The best part is they came to our home and did the job while I was working, talk about convenience and time efficient. Great workmanship and warranty on the material. Highly recommend this company.

    Five star plus for Carlos and his team. Lightning fast response time to my inquiry to schedule an estimate appointment to remove 28-year old window tint film on my Townhouse. The next week after getting a second estimate from another company that came in much higher, I notified Solar Care they had the job. The NEXT DAY their technician Dennis arrived about 7:30 and completed removing the old film by midafternoon. Impressive. I'd kept the original film lifetime warranty paperwork from the installation back in 1996 done by a company no longer in business. Carlos pointed me to the tint film manufactures department I needed to contact to file a claim. I was pleasantly surprised they stood behind their product. Thank you Carlos! I highly recommend Solar Care.

    See all

    This shop is located towards the back of the plaza on Oceanside Blvd. It is the plaza with…read moreChipotle, Jersey Mike's, Enzo's BBQ, Hand car wash, and 88 Ranch grocery store. They have a large banner that specifies auto tint, but just wanted to ensure I specify their location as some may miss them. This review is a bit overdue as I've had multiple vehicles for window tinting at this location. My father found this location, and the owner (male) has been very quick and efficient, and always does a great job. Since then, my family and I always take our vehicles to this store when we need our windows tinted. I recently purchased a new vehicle and needed my windows tinted, so took my new vehicle to him. I'm usually pretty hesitant that my vehicle will get damaged as it had been at another vendor years ago... but I trust the owner and the other gentleman who also works here. They inspect for any damages prior to start and are careful with your vehicle (both inside and out). He also tells you his honest opinion rather than for money making desires. His ceramic tints are excellent! Trust me, they may cost more, but they are definitely worth it. I've had different tints, and ceramic ones are the best! Also, the other places use too much adhesive and it stains my windows, but this place doesn't do that. Prices are also fair! He is always willing to work with you for a reasonable price. Great work always, and very quick yet work is always excellent! Some times in the summer, scheduling an appointment would be best, but other times you can walk in and request for same day service and if possible, they get it done. Will definitely return here again even if I have to drive a few hours! I highly recommend!

    Updated Review Per…read morethe shop's recommendation, I took my vehicle to Tesla for a full inspection of the windshield. After evaluating it, Tesla confirmed that the lines in the glass were caused by external forces -- most likely excessive heat -- and not by any manufacturing defect. They were very clear that there is no scenario where the vehicle would have left the factory with this type of damage. Because of that, the replacement was not covered under warranty, and I had to pay $1,535 out of pocket. Here's what this experience has cost me: * $300 for the original tint * $150 for tint removal -- which I was never informed would be charged, and they only told me I "owed money" after removing it * $1,535 for a new windshield due to damage caused during their tint installation That's almost $2,000 lost, and I'm left with no tint, a brand‑new windshield I had to pay for myself, and zero accountability from the shop. To make matters worse, the owner laughed at my wife during the conversation. That alone tells you everything about the level of professionalism you can expect. If you choose to get your tint done here, understand this clearly: If something goes wrong, you will get no support, no responsibility, and possibly even disrespect. What you may get is a bill for the damage they caused.

The owner was incredibly helpful and took the time to explain the different tint levels, what would work best, and what would actually look good on my car instead of just trying to upsell me. You can tell they really care about the quality of their work and customer experience. The tint came out amazing and looks super clean. One of the reasons I chose them was because I kept seeing reviews saying the work lasts and holds up well over time, and honestly, that's what made me trust them in the first place (even ChatGPT pointed me toward them because of their reviews ). Really happy with the experience and would definitely recommend them.

Seriously, the car had never looked better until he gave it the best detail of its life. I completely trust Smith Bros. Ryan is honest. He found an item of value and notified me as to where he placed it. Tires are gleaming. Even the runner area is fresh and clean. Ryan even resolved the numerous smudges on my view screen down to the finest detail. He gave the sedan a Midas touch. Smith Bros even offered to go to Santee! They brought their mobile service to my employer's place of business. Really great customer support that is a rarity these days. Ryan is tops. I am super happy with the care that Ryan took in caring for my car. Smith Bros is ethical. They are safety-conscious, which shows they are the right company for the job. They truly seem to care about their customers and employees. What is most impressive is how they work as a team in a seamless manner. You just won't find quality detailing combined with exceptional customer service anywhere else. The detailer recommends services that meet your needs with no surprises, a hallmark of professionalism at its apex. Due to the skillful knowledge and careful techniques, your vehicle is in great hands with Smith Bros., highly qualified, experienced detailers. Of special note is I had been driving around with dog hair in places I couldn't reach. Ryan even took care of that! Moreover, Ryan detailed areas I requested such as the headliner and trunk. Smith Bros is reputable throughout San Diego County. If you want your vehicle to be professionally and meticulously detailed by high-quality technicians who are enthusiastic about their craft, I highly recommend Smith Bros. The difference is incredible. Everything is amazingly clean. Don't risk entrusting any other company with the care one of your greatest assets. Contact Smith Bros.

I wanted my car to look good in the inside and out. Sadly, my car's interior Ambient Light got damaged. Apparently when a lot of water is used and the electronics are not covered properly, this tends to happen. I am no expert but they should have known better and I should have also done my research. I texted the company back and they said to let it dry a couple of days, it's been more than a week and still no ambient light. Then the owner messaged me and said 2 weeks. That is unacceptable. It's been hot and my car has been in the sun and nothing is coming back. Just be aware if you don't want your car to go through this. I don't know what I'm going to do, as my car was just serviced a couple of weeks ago and everything was working perfectly. 9/2/2025 - update. I finally got my Mercedes back from the dealership, they had to order the special part that was messed up by this company. I had to drive a loaner for almost 6 days. The owner did not want to take responsibility and was very condescending. LONG STORY SHORT --- DO NOT COME HERE, I'M WARNING EVERYONE. No refund was given either and I had to spend my time figuring out what to do. No help from OWNER OR OTHERS.
