Hood after film was installed
Danny M.

Don't go to this place. The first thing this guy will ask you is to pay cash. Because he knows that if you pay with a credit card, and are not happy. You'll be able to dispute the charge and get your money back, because he certainly won't. Dropped off a brand new Porsche 911 for a complete wrap and his poor planning and preparation caused him to wrap, re-wrap the car over and over again. His inability to prep a car for this kind of wrap makes him unsuitable for these kinds of jobs. His shop is dirty, has trash, wrappers, dirt etc flying all around his shop. For a job like this you have to be extremely clean because the slightest dust will contaminate the surface of windows and paint protection film. I will post pictures for you guys to see. The photos are of a brand new, 2022 911 which was delivered October 1st 2021 and on October 4, the wrap was installed. You be the judge. This is not the condition of the paint, this is poor surface preparation after removing and re-installing the film II posted a pic of the conversation where he refuses to respond. I've now filed a dispute with my credit card, next will be a complaint via the BBB and then small claims. I gave him the opportunity to make this right despite his poor workmanship. Be careful when going here.

Scratch on trunk

WARNING*** PLEASE GO ELSEWHERE*** YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR AND BOY DID I PAY.. so I booked for tint and clear bra thinking i was getting a good deal as he was just starting to use Xpel as well and I was going to be paying half of what other reputable companies were charging. For all windows, windshield, and clear bra 725$ great deal.... I THINK NOT. First of all Yancey is a very shady guy and you'll see from my review and pictures what I mean... I had my car for less than 36hours when I brought it in. Had driven it home washed waxed claybarred and brought it there...... So let's just get started. First of all he was late and had to bring me back on multiple occasions because he lied saying he had the products to complete the job but didn't (I work a lot so I don't have time to drive to SJ every week...) he said he had the windshield tint and clear bra multiple times. A good business would not schedule an appointment until they KNEW for a fact they could perform the service. One look at the clear bra laid out and I knew it was WRONG. Not my car front end. And I sent the model name to him a few times.... So first of all he does the tint and SCRATCHES MY TRUNK LID. To the point of me needing to fix this myself. And not only doesn't take accountability but ARGUES with me as if I don't know for certain- well guess what I spent a whole day clay barring and waxing before I brought it in so I know every INCH of that car. And it was right at the rear windshield so YES YANCEY- that was you. Also put a HUGE SCRATCH in my front passenger WINDOW GLASS. Which he of course wasn't accountable for and said - "sometimes that's how it comes from the factory" He left bubbles in and said he'd fix it... he didn't. But this is well beyond that and the fact that the tint doesn't fit the windows was cut too small with multiple edges showing and rips in the windshield tint. The clear bra should cover the entire bumper. That's what I paid for. (And said he was going to try and "work something out with me" as if I owed him more $?!?) The clear bra did not extend to the edges of the car. There are seams where typically there should not be- in the front near the fog lights. (Pictures pretty clear)The clear bra does not cover the parts of the bumper even close to entirely that it should have. (The bottom portion is literally 3" exposed from the lower grill cutout)... and There are bubbles and dirt trapped and parts that look as if there is damage to the paint underneath and upon inspection when I dropped it off to him we determined there were NO defects in the paint. The times he told me to come in he was not ready for me and did not finish in near the time he said he would as he was doing my car "between" other appts. He had me pay IN ADVANCE my own stupid fault. But let me just say don't let him swindle you into this as well. He's a liar and a theif. Complete Fraud. I asked for a refund multiple times. He promised to redo the tint and fix what he messed up, whilst still not being accountable- and he only made it worse. I knew I shouldn't have gone back. So he finally said he would refund me but via square it would take 10 days unless I wanted a money order in a 3-4 days or I could call my bank.... well I told him I chose to call my bank. Which he agreed to for my refund. HE AGREED TO A REFUND. THEN DISPUTED IT WITH MY BANK saying it's a valid charge sending a screenshot of my signature on square-?!? SO NOW THAT IVE Spent hours removing the clear bra and have an appointment for a tint removal and redo on Saturday I HAVE TO GET A LETTER OF SECOND OPINION SO I CAN RE DISPUTE THE CHARGES because he is that big of a liar and a theif. He won't answer my calls either if that tells you anything. Screenshots of our conversation and of some of the damages and poor worksmanship. Do yourself a favor and give your business somewhere else. You have been warned. I'm so disappointed in myself for trusting him.

Been coming to Tin works for the last couple years. Excellent job well taken care of. I really recommend these people.

Lines and missing vinyl

Do not let this guy touch your vehicle! The pictures speak for them selves! This is after he "attempted" to fix it! Charged me $1,000 to order material upfront and destroyed my car twice. Also, texted me at 10pm to say my car was finished and the keys were with the gas station attendant!

Jaguar F Type SVR
Damon P.

Tintworks did a fantastic PPF on my 2017 Jaguar F Type. Yancy's attention to detail and quality made my dream car look better than ever. Thanks for a job done well!

Another great tint job by Yancy. 25% carbon.
Neil A.

Another car tinted here. Now our 2008 535i. Used 25% on the side windows and it looks perfect. Gives me lots of relief from the sun. Now it looks like a Bimmer. Lol. Again, great work Yancy. Thank you!

John S.

Yancey did the window tint on this 2018 Toy C-HR with SUNTEK Ceramic 30% & 60%, looks perfect, love it. Was done in 1 1/2 hours, I also like that materials used has a Lifetime warranty. Thanks again.

led turn signal the was pushed in.

PLEASE Avoid this place if you don't want to spend more money for paint correction and broken parts. Was introduced by a friend to get my car tinted and wrapped here. Yancy seems like a nice at first, but don't let that tricked you. He did not care about customer's car, he took 2 days to wrap my roof and side mirror. On the first day, he broke the side mirror signal turning led and tried to stall time to fix it by asking for me to leave the car over night which i did. At this point, I still didn't know the mirror led was broken and he promised me the car will be done by the next day. On the next day, I went to pick up the car at 6:30PM, and I was not happy how everything turned out. The roof was 2 pieces instead of 1, there are dust/bubbles trapped in side and a lot of bad cuts. Same for the mirrors too. When I got Home I take a closer look on the overall of the car and noticed a lot of scratches that the camera couldn't get it. However, the most scratched up place that I was able to take the pictures is the windows black pillars. There are probably more scratches that I still have not located yet. Yance told me to bring my cAr there, so he can fix the mirror And the wraps, but with all the damages that you have done to a 50k plus car, I'm not going to trust you again touching my car. Also,the Tint was poor as well, I noticed dusts are trapped inside about the edge of the tinting film. I demand a refund, so I can buy parts to fix the mirror and take the car to a bodyshop for a paint correction. After removing the tail light smoke tint, I see more more scratches and cutlines. P.S AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTs. UPDATE: More damage is found, the Shark Fin antenna is loose and has a cap. I will have to take it to a shop and get it fixed to avoid water leak.

Razor blade tip left in the car after the owner of Tintworks said he uses nothing hard that can scratch the car.
Huy D.

I take my brand new car and guess what? I see scratches on my dash. I called the owner and he denied it right away saying they using nothing but baby shampoo and soft materials so there is no way my dash could have been scratched. To add insult to injury, I had to come back the second day because Yancy ran out of film so I had to come back the next day. What a waste of my time and two uber rides. Well guess what? I found a razor blade in the car.... I knew it was a red flag when he quoted me $750 for 3M crystalline over the phone, however when he ran my credit card he changed it to $950, which I had to correct him. Since he only did 3 Windows, we agreed on paying about half which was $400 dollars. **UPDATE** After writing this review on Yelp. Yancy agreed to give me a refund as soon as I can come back in to remove the film. He continues to make excuses and says that he was no where near that area. He was working on the windshield and the driver window, I'm not sure how that argument is valid. He then says that maybe I got speakers installed and they were the speaker guy did it. Well the have been in the possession of the car for the two days I owned it and the speaker system is stock. I never even considered an aftermarket sound system! He then continues to argue with me and said my Dealer did it when I took it in for service; what service? I had the car for two days!! After all this argument which he continues to say it was someone else! I'm sorry Yancy, I had the car for two days. It was brand new as far as I'm concerned since it was in my possession and sitting in the driveway until I could get it tinted. He then has his worker remove the film. He asks the worker to compare the razor tip in the car and see if it lined up with the razor blade they had in the shop. Guess what? It did! And he continues to argue with me. I thought he didn't use anything but baby shampoo and soft materials? *Sarcasm* I spoke to his worker, turns out he's still in school and a family friend. The kid isn't even out of high school. So don't believe him when he says he has 20 years of experience, as he may not be the one doing the job. Looking back, I missed several red flags. He does not do an inspection and does not have anything to sign when you drop off the car. I knew something was wrong when I didn't have to sign off on anything when I dropped off the car. Now it becomes a he says she said issue. What kind of business does this? He does this so if he damages the car, you can't blame him. Lesson learn, make sure anyone that touches your car have an inspection sheet. Yancy is quick to take your money and say anything you want to hear to get it. It has been almost 3 weeks and I have not seen a refund. I had to file a fraud claim with my credit card company. Good luck on dealing with this company.

Yancey did good job to my smoke tail light tint and give a good price on it. He did less than hour...

Air bubbles in the window tint
Todd Y.

Beware! Brought in my brand new Tesla M3 for clear bra wrap, ceramic coating and window tinting. Yancey tells my friend (also wants to wrap his M3) and I that he has years of experience and that we will be satisfied with the results. When Yancey asked to pay in full before completion of the job, I was horrified to see paint scratches and chips, dent, uncovered/uneven ppf borders, unwrapped edges, air bubbles in the tint and in the ppf, misplaced emblem. Yancey tried to place the blame initially on imperfections in the ppf. After I asked him to remove the ppf so I can take it in for repairs, it became clear that the scratch on the hood was from him removing the emblem and the one on the bumper from him cutting on my car. I would give him the benefit of the doubt if he had told me about the damages and we could work something out. But the fact that he wrapped over, tried to conceal the damage and later told me to fix it with touch up paint puts his integrity in doubt. My brand new M3 is now damaged, without a full wrap, without ceramic coating, needing retinting and rewrapping. I told my friend to stay away from Yancey, and you should too.

When I went to Yancy with my new model 3 I wanted all my windows done. He asked me to pay before he even did the job and I did which I shouldn't have because he didn't even include the sunroof or the front windshield in the price. I ended up paying 200 for the windshield but didn't notice the sunroof wasn't done since the Tesla sunroof comes a little tinted. after I paid 700 dollars for my windows and now if I want my sunroof done he wants to charge me more. I called him yesterday to tell him I paid for all my windows to be done and not to leave one out. It looks ridiculous to have every window done except this one.and he said he would call me by now but hasn't. So I'm leaving this review. Very unhappy with this guy. I almost spent a thousand dollars and he leaves this window out?

Magic Auto Shine is great! When I got my new car, I knew I wanted to get PPF, ceramic coating, and…read morewindow tint, so I called around to a few different places before deciding on Magic Auto Shine. What stood out to me was the great reviews, how clearly they explained the different services they offer over call and text, and that their pricing was more competitive than some of the other places I contacted without compromising on quality. Their reviews and the way they explained everything are ultimately what sold me. They were also very patient while my car was still in service before I was able to drop it off, and the drop-off process was super easy. Everyone I interacted with was really nice and took the time to explain everything clearly. I ended up getting full XPEL Stealth PPF, ceramic coating, and all of my windows tinted (35% on the driver and passenger windows, 70% on the windshield, and 55% on the rest of the glass). The whole process took about 5 days, and I was able to schedule a weekend pickup, which worked out perfectly for my schedule. My car looks amazing, and I LOVE how it turned out! I've already gotten so many compliments on it. They also included some complimentary services, including a hand wash once the PPF has had time to settle, where they'll also go over how to properly wash and care for the car. Overall, I had a really amazing experience with Magic Auto Shine and would definitely recommend them. I'll be back for detailing in the future and am also looking into getting windshield protection with them. Thank you to the Magic Auto Shine team for taking such good care of my car!
