Fast, Friendly & Professional‎

By JeneCleve – Mar 22, 2009

Excellent Service from beginning to end. Very friendly from the moment I got a quote to driving away. Easy- called & got in right away. Fast- my car was done in 1.5 hour just as promised. Professional- my car looked gorgeous when I got it. I will definitely tell my friends, family and co-workers. Nick was willing to go above & beyond.

Tint Job‎

By ISF – Jan 5, 2009

I dropped off my Lexus IS-F in the morning and they finished it in less than 2 hours. They did a fantastic job…and I’m going to bring my girlfriends car there soon. Very professional, very nice. There was a small bubble on my rear windshield and they fixed it the next day. The tint looks amazing. Highly recommended.

GREAT SERVICE, GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT PRICE‎

By SilveradoSS – Sep 15, 2008

I took my 2006 Silverado SS to Nick last week. My truck has won multiple car shows and been featured in multiple magazines, It’s my pride and joy and i don’t let ANYBODY touch it. I trust Nick and wouldn’t let anyone else work on my cars. His installers are as qualified as you can get and his product is unbeatable, as is his lifetime warranty. Nick took car of my truck as if it were his own, A great guy to deal with and I would recommend him to anyone!!

Nick’s tint: outstanding service‎

By elgabri – Aug 5, 2008

Nick’s glass tint did a great job on my car’s tint. The service was fast, effective and well done. It took approximately one hour and a half to complete the job.

Their service is guaranteed for life. I don’t know if I’ll have the car that long, but it’s good to know that if anything goes wrong with the tint, it will be replaced at no cost.

I did some research before going there and most shops charge about the same for the titnt job, but other places only guaranteed their work for 1, 5 or 7 years, and the prices increase with the number of years the work is guaranteed.

Nick tints famous people’s cars and the work looks great. You can look at the albums while you wait.

If you are looking for a place to tint your windows I would recommend this place.

Great work from honest guys…‎

By escapedreams – Feb 11, 2008

I always get nervous when getting work done on my car… I got a new Lexus IS and wanted to get the windows tinted, and wanted it done right on the first try. I asked around at work, and two people had recommended Nicks. The location is a little strange, in an automotive strip mall, but I felt at ease when they were tinting a brand new BMW as I pulled up.

They didn’t try to play games by offering different types of tint… They just assured me that they always use the best and just wanted to know how dark I wanted to go. They took a little longer than they quoted me, which was fine because I knew they weren’t rushing. I was the last car for the night and the stayed late to make sure it was done right.

The price was right, it looks great and has a lifetime guarantee… I’m happy.

I will say, make sure you have someone to pick you up. There’s no place around to wait comfortably, and you’ll want to give them at least 2-3 hours to get it done.

Great tinting service!!‎

By shepfu – Dec 6, 2007

From start to finish it was a great experience. I called Nick up and he gave me a quote on the phone, told me when to come in and they completed the job in less time than they said. Nick’s Glass Tinting is a great service at an affordable price. I just had him tint my new Audi and I will definitely be recommending him to others.

Great Tinting Great Price‎

By justright157 – Nov 24, 2007

I was looking to get my car tinted, and didn’t want to pay the ridiculous prices of some of the other guys. My cars about 5 years old, so i wasn’t looking for something fancy. I called some guys who tried to B.S me about porcelin tints/lambourghini quality blah blah blah…does my 5 year old car look like it needs $500 tints? haha yeah right

So i found Nicks, and they gave me a great price and did it as soon as i called. Took about and hour, was really respectable, great quality tints, and it really made my car look completely different. Who knew that tints could be soo cool. And it didn’t cost an arm and a leg for it.

If you are looking to spend less than $200 for tints, and want a great job done, then come to Nicks. Im very happy with my experience. And lifetime warranty…Can’t beat that!

Great Job, Great Deal!‎

By imobius – Jan 11, 2007

They did a great job on my new IS 250. The price was very reasonable also. It’s a bit tricky to find as it’s in a strip mall with other Auto repair places. I’m recommending it to all my friends and taking back my other car.

Great job and price‎

By dave66 – May 25, 2006

Nick really takes pride in his work and delivers on time with great quality. His price was the lowest around. I found a lot of the other tinters to be like uesed car salesman..I am really saisfied with the work he did.

Went in on a lark one Sunday afternoon 

By Cahaya S.

Went in on a lark one Sunday afternoon while driving by — not exactly expecting to get the tint done that day – since we didn’t have an appointment. My partner had read good reviews about the place and we decided to give this place a try.
As it turned out the 3 guys waiting at the station — said no problem – you can leave the car here and be back in about 2 hours.

So we did. Left the little red mini and wandered around the neighborhood to kill time. Not much to do in the neighborhood, but we grabbed a quick lunch at the Mexican Taco place down the street and walked over to the 99c store to browze and before you know it got beeped just about an hour and a half later — to come pick up the car.

For $190 — we got a very crisp, professional job done. The young Mexican guy who did my windows — seemed very experienced and confident. He assured us that within 2 days the tint would settle and come out looking smooth — and sure enough it did.

My partner brought in his car a couple of weeks later — we had the same guy work on his Mazda and similarly had a good experience.

They offer a lifetime warranty, too, apparently.

i went in today to get my new prius 

By Simon C.

I went in today to get my new prius tinted.  to be honest, i was a little concerned when i read some of the reviews from last august complaining of poor service, but my experience today was as perfect as last time.

i pulled in at about 12.45P without an appointment and there was already one car in the bay that they were working on.  the tint technician said it would be about 25 minutes until that car would be done and then mine would be done another 2 hours after that.

knowing that they usually work faster than their estimates, i popped across the street to mcdonald’s with my kindle so that i could glance over occasionally to monitor progress.

sure enough, 20 minutes later, my car was pulled in, and only 45 minutes after that i walked back and my car was already wrapping up.  an especially quick job, considering all the goofy little windows on a prius.

this time, i selected 30% for the rear, and 50% for the front.  the level of darkness is perfect for me, dark enough to reduce heat and look custom but not so dark as to piss off cops.  nick’s still uses the same high-quality johnson ceramic films, available in 4 tints:  50, 30, 20, and 10.

$200 by credit card, or you can get a $20 discount if you pay by cash.

yet again, fast, convenient, a quality job with premium film, and a great price.

Many thanks to Michael M. and SiMonster 

By: Dave C.

Many thanks to Michael M. and SiMonster for their reviews. I thought I’d take the plunge and get my “winnows tin-ned” at Nick’s last weekend. I figured, only two reviews, but 10 stars between them, it was worth a shot on my Scion xA. $190 later (would have been $180 if I paid cash), I am a happy customer after letting the tint marry itself to my windows.

It sounded like it was a slow day for Nick’s because I called in a few times that morning after a nightmarish 4 hour oil change and they kept saying to stop by anytime. Right when I pulled up, I saw a Scion tC with a pretty sick tint job that was just being finished. I told Nick that I pretty much wanted the same thing, but that I wanted 50% on the front two windows and 20% on the rest (7 pieces of glass total). He said that it was no problem and that I shouldn’t have any problems with the poh-leese with 50% on the sides.

Like Michael M. and the SiMonster, my car was finished in about 45 minutes. I guessed that it’d take about an hour and 15, which Nick said was reasonable, but while I was being nosy and watching them work on my car at the McDonald’s across the street, I saw that they were done in 45 minutes! I walked on over and Nick told me to come over and check it out.

I was thrilled with how it looked, but could definitely see some small bubbles all around from the inside of the car that worried me. I thought I was going to have to live with it, but they told me to give it a few days to let the bubbles go down after the adhesive had some time to bond and evaporate. I thought, “There’s no effing way the bubbles will go down.”

I thought I was going to have to come back.

One day later: Still bubbles…little worried…
Two days later: Still bubbles…very worried… even called Nick. He assured me that it would be fine and if it wasn’t, I could come back. Luckily, he’s very nice.
Five days later: NO MORE BUBBLES! HUZZAH!
(I took the bus for a couple days, so I didn’t actually see days three and four)

The tint is perfect all around. The best part about the ceramic tint is that it’s still very easy to see out of your windows from the interior of the car, but it blocks a lot of sun and is VERY dark from the outside. With 20% all around, my windows make passengers look like silhouettes from the outside, but I have no problems seeing out the sides or the back when changing lanes or parallel parking. I almost think I should have gone 5% on the back windows. The 50% on the driver and passenger side is perfect as well if you want to have a little tint, but no attention from the cops.

Just be patient and trust Nick, the bubbles will go down! And if not, it’s a lifetime warranty. If you just want some solid, high quality black (REAL black, not purple black), ceramic tint, head down to Nick’s and he’ll hook you up.

So I just bought my first NEW car – right 

By: Michael M.

So I just bought my first NEW car – right off the lot. It’s a slick G5 GT – silver – and cheap enough to MOD. So I started my MODS with tint. I found Nick here on YELP!, called them up on Friday and was scheduled for 9am Sat morning. They were booked, but he said he could come in early if I promised to be there at nine – awesome.

I dropped the car off and was quoted 2 hours. I got a phone call 45 min later letting me know that the car was ready. I was blown away – the tint looks awesome – gives the car a nice tough feel.

As stated before, the price is perfect. less than $200 for two door windows, two small rear windows and the back window.

I have to recommend them 100 percent. Call ahead and make an appointment – they only have one bay (for now).

By: Mike G.

Upon the recommendation of a friend, I went up to Santa Monica to get the windows tinted on my new Mazda 3 5-door.

I waited a couple weeks before writing this review to see how everything held up and so far I’m impressed. The tint looks great on the car and it was installed quickly and professionally (about an hour), no bubbles or scratches, and they did a good job cleaning the windows after applying the tint.

The only thing that’s keeping my review from being 5 stars is that they left a small gap on the top of my front two windows, maybe a 1/8-1/4 inch. Not a big deal as you can’t see it when the windows are all the way up or all the way down, but it’s noticeable when the windows are partially down.

What can I say that the others haven’t 

By Nicole S.

What can I say that the others haven’t already said?  Professional, Clean, efficient, friendly, quality tint, excellent prices… it’s a quality operation all the way.  Got my brand spankin new Scion Xd RS1.0 tinted here and they did a fantastic job.  No problems with bubbling or anything else that can happen with a tint job.  It’s been a year and it still looks great!  It’s hidden in a strip mall with other auto services so it’s easy to miss if you’re just driving by.

By the way, I found them through yelp!  Thanks Yelpers!

By Master P.

Nick was prompt and professional.  Easy to set up appointment, and a friendly one man shop.  Took me about 2 1/2 hours for my new convertible ’09.  Even on the soft top window, he did a fantastic job.

It takes 2-3 days for the windows to “dry,” but the result was fantastic for the price paid.

$190 all inclusive.

He takes pride in his work, which says everything.

No place to wait, but Starbucks is a block away.

By: Juney H.

I recently got my windows tinted at Nick’s Glass Tinting and have been suitably impressed with the results!  I haven’t rolled down my windows yet but I think an advance “thumbs up” is definitely worthwhile here.

It looks great! I wish I went darker on the rear windows but that’s on me, not Nick’s.

I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get their car windows tinted!

By: Lindsay J.

I called Nick and set up an appt for my new 09 Audi A4.

I went it on a Saturday and he was able to see my car right away. really nice guy (i called for appt first)

While he was doing that, since there is no where to wait there, I walked down to a nail salon and got a mani/pedi! Perfect. He was done in about an hr.

Looks great and I am very pleased!
