SB Tint Designs is amazing in providing high quality customer service, clear communication, product knowledge. I was referred to Hector by a friend because I was looking to have my windows tinted, and couldn't be happier with the outcome! Hector walked me through the different type of tints, and assisted me in making the perfect choice for my car. The turn around from delivering my car to his shop and pickup was incredibly fast. I would highly recommend that if you want the best tint service Santa Barbara has to offer then go to SB Tint Designs! Also, I've seen their wrapped vehicles, and they are spectacular! read more

They use high-quality 3M film and offer ceramic options that block more heat. I've taken 3 cars there and they always do a great job.

We were looking to tint our car & was referred to Hector by another auto body shop. After making an initial phone call to set up a appointment & ask any questions we knew right away he was the one for the job. He is a master at his craft! Hector was extremely helpful in answering any questions or concerns we had, was soooo professional & even walked me through everything I needed to know when it came to tint. Brands, percentages, techniques, all of it. Even showed me samples so I could be sure I made the right decision on the darkness. We were more than satisfied with his work. He's extremely busy & booked out pretty far in advance but I can assure & promise you, HES WORTH THE WAIT. Thanks again hector for your expertise & attention to detail! read more

Hector had tinted our 1987 MBZ 560SEC and 1991Volvo 940SE over twenty years ago and both vehicles had no issues with the film standing the test of time. We are still driving the 560SEC but have replaced the Volvo with a 2015 MBZ GLK350 4MATIC that has a glass panorama roof - a lot of glass overhead and solar gain is an issue living here in California. Hector provides film that eliminates 97% of the Ultraviolet rays (reducing skin damage) and depending on the shade of tint varying amounts of Infrared rays that reduce heat accumulation. "I'm easily satisfied with the very best." (Winston Churchill). Hector is the very best and his work is flawless, Tint Designs is the place if you want it done right! read more

See all

Wish I found out about Hector a long time ago. I would have taken all my cars for him to work on. I tried a few places here in SB with a 4-5 stars rating but they can't compare to Hector's work. His quality of work is superb/flawless. Excellent attention to details and goes the extra miles to make it even better. He's super down to earth and gives you options and opinions without upselling or anything. He's the owner so you know he cares about his work. I will definitely be using him from now on. Super clean and safe facility. Highly recommended. read more

I was referred to Hector by a friend who highly recommended his tint services. He was knowledgeable, friendly and super accommodating.

His shop is easy to find and super meticulous. I highly recommend him. read more

Tint Designs - Mercedes GLE front tint 35% - Vehicle Wraps Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Hector's skillful work continues to be the absolute premier PPF installer in tri-county, possibly Southern California. He and his assistant Aurelio wrapped our Tesla, completed minor repairs caused by yours truly and installed front CA license plate wrap. Hector does such amazing work that creates a work backlog. Scheduling an appointment a few weeks or a month in advance is well worth the wait. Thank you Hector and Aurelio for your excellent efforts protecting our car. James read more

Hector is very good. Best (by far) in Santa Barbara. Wraps, tint, advice...Hector's the guy bar none.

When I first met Hector, I was very nervous about bringing my brand new Cadillac Escalade 2021 to him. Just don't know you can trust in the city that we just moved to. What I found was a man who was very kind, extremely knowledgeable and informative to make sure I got the right product not just additional products. His work is exemplary and from what I've seen others feel the same way. I watched his car after car after car pulled up and booked times for their wraps and tint jobs. Didn't matter if it was a Honda or a brand new Bentley and I even saw a brand new Ferrari pull up. Crazy excellent service but even better is his quality of work! A must for anybody needing his services. read more

Hector is the absolute BEST in Santa Barbara and greater area (by far). He has done all our families vehicles for over 20 years and there is nothing that comes close to his specialty and care in what he does. Don't waste your time even looking for a different place to go to. HE IS A TRUE ARTIST IN HIS CRAFT. Have recommended everyone who has ever asked to him and have never heard anything but satisfaction. Would rate him 10 out of 5 if I could. He is well worth your time to go see. read more

I'm so glad I found hector and his company. I recently bought s new vehicle and the feeling of stepping into s hot vehicle in the middle of the day was starting to be unbearable. I have always had 3m tint products installed in every vehicle I had owned. The reason being is some of the generic no name brands out there have a terrible tendency to warp, crinkle and bubble up. As I recently moved to the area I could not find a tint shop that carried 3m products. I did a search of 3m website and found the only authorized dealer in the area was Tint Designs. I called to see if they were open and went to check out the shop. Hector was very friendly and showed me the products he carried. As I already knew which product I wanted installed in my vehicle , I set up an appointment for the tint. I was really surprised that his first available appointment was a week out and that he would require two separate appointments to finish the job. (The reason being is I only had a few hours available and he needed more time) Well fast forward to appointment day, I had more time available and dropped off my vehicle. When I returned several hours later, I was surprised that he was able to finish the entire job ( total of 10 windows) and that the second appointment wasn't necessary. The tint installation was one of the cleanest I had ever seen and he made sure to clean up after himself (no mess inside the vehicle). The tint lines were clean and flush with the glass and you could barely tell there was tint on the front windshield. The 3m product I had installed was crystalline 70 for the front windshield and crystalline 20 on all the other windows. (Be warned crystalline is fairly expensive but you get what you pay for) I definitely will return to Hector with any other vehicle I'll purchase in the future. read more

Definitely was not disappointed. It has been about two months since I had an appointment with Hector to get my windows tinted and I am very pleased with the work that was done, not a bubble/flaw in sight. Dropped my car off the night before and picked it up by noon the next day. He was able to help me choose the tint percentage that would work best for me as well which was a huge help. He really knows his stuff and is very professional. Great communication and very easy to get ahold of. The location of his office was easy to get to and there was parking directly outside of the building. 10/10 will be recommending to anyone who is interested in spicing up their car! read more

Hector provides extraordinary,professional, courteous craftsmanship. He is a pleasure to work with and his skill is superb.

Quick, expert, professional. Installed crystal clear SunTek film on restored (at Diamond Finish) 2004 Mustang Cobra headlamps. Awesome job, looks better than new. Dropped it off, had lunch on State St. and back on the road 90 min later. Can't beat the price either!! read more

Hector has been tinting my vehicles and commercial properties for over 20 years and there is NOBODY else I would ever use for window tinting. He is very consistent and meticulous in his work and this is important to me. Best part is he will come to your location and perform the job on site. He just tinted my new car and he recommended a new technology, Ceramic Film. The cost is slightly higher, but after further review, the amount of UV rays are almost 100% removed and do not have to tint the windows dark in order to keep the heat out, which I like as getting older harder to see through dark film. Only day one but already notice a difference in interior temp and looks great as well. read more

I took my last four vehicles to Cal Coast Glass Tinting and was really disappointed when I learned they no longer do auto tint. I then learned Hector was the installer at Cal Coast for the last 26 years and is now operating as Tint Designs. The last four vehicles Hector tinted for me turned out great. He does great work. You won't be disappointed. read more

Hector provides a great service and does excellent work. Making an appointment and requesting a quote online was super easy. Hector made time to work with my schedule, showed up on time, and finished early. He cleaned up some old, low quality tint I had put on the car previously in addition to putting on new film. The price was lower than quotes I received from other vendors in town and the work is all warranted. Highly recommended. read more

Hector has wrapped the front of my Porsche (as well as putting some UV film on our home windows). He has done a superb job with both. Recently, my car's front bumper was scraped pretty badly by another car at a gas station. I thought I'd have to have the entire bumper repainted/replaced. When I got home, I realized that the damage might not be as bad, since the damage was where the protective wrapping had been installed. I ended up peeling the wrapping off the damaged areas and the actual paint finish was completely intact and undamanged. What a relief! I'll have Hector re-wrap the bumper immediately. read more
