Carlos has tinted two of my vehicles and first and foremost, he has done a fabulous job on both. His work is clean and he I wouldn't hesitate to bring him my next car. Even after I had a product failure (not Carlos's fault) he graciously ate the cost and took the time to replace the sheet. Lastly, Carlos just honestly seems like a good person, and I think good people should be supported in this world. read more

Carlos at The DarkSide does AMAZING work! I know this because he's applied window tinting and chip protection to my cars three times over the past 12 years, which is why I keep going back. He's been in the business a long time and is an expert at his craft. He's honest, straightforward, easy to work with, and stands by his work. His work is so good, in fact, that Seattle Mini used him exclusively for years until they decided to take the work in-house (but at Tacoma Mini) and to charge 30-40% more than Carlos charges. So when I purchased my latest Mini, I reached out directly to Carlos and had him apply window tinting and chip protection instead of the dealership - not only did I save hundreds of dollars, but I knew the workmanship would be top notch. For all these reasons, I highly recommend The DarkSide!! read more

It was just as good the second time around! Carlos does a great job and has fast service!

Absolutely fantastic. Carlos did great work at a very fair price. Even tackled the tiny corner windows on my car that other tiny shops straight up said they wouldn't be willing to do. Definitely my go to tint shop going forward. read more

Was looking for a window tint ASAP and was able to find this place. They had availability probably a week out of me calling and was able to provide suggestions or a second opinion on what I should go for since I'm indecisive. Kindly showed me examples on the lot since this was my first tint and had no idea what final results would look like. Thought it was a fair price and it only took about two hours. Also patiently waited for me as I tried to sort through three different gift cards that wouldn't go through only for me to eventually use my credit. A few months later and I still love how the tint looks! I would recommend to a friend. read more

Carlos quickly returned my call with a reasonable quote. Had two windows of my SUV tinted. I showed up, he said an hour for work, and he finished on time. Quick, easy, and good job. A bit of a pain to drive to Lake City Way, but worth it. read more

I had a 1999 Extended Cab Toyota Tacoma tinted here back in 2013, and just recently I had a vehicle totaled which led me to acquire a 2002 Extended Cab Toyota Tacoma, so naturally I knew where I wanted to go. 5 Star Yelp reviews and a price competitive to that of other tint companies in the area + no wait time helped solidify my choice. Carlos is the employee who did the tint job. I told him what I wanted - match the front windows to the rear and do a 5% windshield strip. He walked outside with me and we agreed on the strip length. He even grabbed me from the seating area to make sure that's the length that I wanted. I waited until it was complete and took an hour to an hour and a half total. Would recommend to others. I've taken my vehicle back to this establishment after 5 years or so, and will continue to be a (satisfied) customer. Very nice work! read more

After reading reviews of tint shops, I brought my new Camry to Darkside Windows Tinting. All of these positive Yelp reviews are right; Carlos is a true professional, doing perfect work. Pricing was very competitive, In the past years, I'd had worked with another local tinter, but their administrative stuff was too annoying. So I looked around, found Darkside, called Carlos; and, was scheduled for the next morning. Easy Peasy! I am totally satisfied with my tint. Carlos is the best of the best! read more

I got my Tesla M3 tinted here (including the back part of the roof) and the job was quick and great quality. The price was better than most of the other shops I talked to, and it is hard to imagine getting a better quality for those high prices. Would definitely recommend this business to others. read more

Tint holding up wonderfully, the owner was very accomodating and super easy drop off/pick up.

I was looking for someone to tint the windows on my new 2015 Challenger and I chose Carlos based on all the positive Yelp reviews. I am glad I did! He did an exceptional job on the windows! I also had him install a hood decal as well as side decals and the work is outstanding! The communication was great and he kept me informed regarding the status of the install and went out of his way to let me know that the initial set of decals for the sides of the car weren't looking right due to the mirror cutouts being off a little bit... Thank you! I'd much rather NOT have something that doesn't look right installed on my car! I contacted the vendor and they cut a new set of decals without the mirror cutouts and I came back the following week. Carlos took care of the mirror cutouts during the install for a custom fit! Everything turned out perfect! My car is beautiful! Thanks for an amazing job! Great prices and great quality! You don't need to look anywhere else! read more

Darkside Window Tinting - Car Window Tinting Near Me - Bothell, Washington

After careful consideration of several tint shops I took my new truck to Darkside to have the front windows tinted to match the rears. All of the positive reviews here are right on. Carlos is very conscientious, a true professional and simply honest. Setting up appointment was easy and he also took time to answer questions. After looking at my truck he let me know right away the factory tint on the rear windows was too dark to match the front legally. He installed the darkest tint possible and while not an exact match it still looks fantastic. I was very concerned about having the job done properly, using the highest quality film and turning out perfect. He fulfilled on all counts. The tint is flawless. Very reasonable pricing too. Highly recommended. read more

Professional work at great prices. Highly recommend. Fast and friendly. Rubin has tinted several of mine and the families vehicles and we have all been very happy. read more

What a great place to go and get tint and/or film done to your car. Mine is a 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti Sport. Carlos was awesome! He needed more time to "get it right" and I was happy with that. Someone who takes pride in their work and wants to ensure it's done very well and provides exactly what the customer desires. He took the paint protection film templates and modified them to hide the seams and create better coverage. Tint application was spot and and looks great! Not to light and not too dark, but what I was expecting and after several conversations about product, application and final result!! If you want tint or paint protection....this is the guy to see!!! A+++ and would definitely go back to him again. read more

I've been going to Carlos for all my paint protection film and window tinting needs for the past 11 years. All of his work is top quality along with the materials he uses. The first vehicle he did for me was a 2008 Infiniti G35xS, and even after 11 years the film and the tinting is still going strong! I highly highly recommend Carlos and The Darkside! read more

Always do my cars here! Owner is fast and reasonably priced. Plus the tint always looks perfect! Highly recommend

Just moved from California, where you cant really get away with any tint, so I immediately called Carlos at Darkside when I made the move up to Seattle. Customer service is top notch! Carlos is the man!! Got the job done quickly and with quality. Showed me the process of tinting which I enjoyed as I'm obsessed with the process of all things. Darkside Window Tinting gets 5 stars from me. Will be back with my girlfriends car in the coming weeks. Thanks Carlos!! read more

Darkside Window Tinting - My fresh tint completes the Ninja Subie PERFECTLY!! - Car Window Tinting Near Me - Bothell, Washington

Carlos - the owner - is very easy to reach and coordinate with. My three of my friends and I all were planning on getting our cars tinted, and he was the only place out of four places I called that made me feel like I wasn't dealing with someone shady. He is quick to respond and he answers all your questions. He is competitively priced and he is also very quick in terms of workmanship. You can even watch him work on your car. He definitely takes care in his work. When I was researching, one of the things that I was really persnickety about was whether or not Carlos would get the tint all the way up to corners of the glass so that there wasn't that awkward white border on the windows, especially the rear glass. I've seen sedans with a quarter inch white border around the tint on the rear glass because the tint guy didn't go all the way to the edge. You don't have to worry about that with Carlo's work. You can't see any of that such border on the rear windows or side windows of any of my friend's cars or mine. I personally only had my two front passenger windows tinted because my car already had factory tints on the back passenger and rear windows, but my three friends all had sedans without any tint on them, and their tints look like they're from the factory. Absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend having Carlos do your work. I would definitely come back with future vehicles. I'll try and upload photos soon. read more

He's easy to work with, flexible with scheduling. Got my tent and 3M put on my Lexus. Much better price than the dealership. Oddly the 3M whistled a bit and he got me right in to get it fixed. His quality guarantee is no hassle and legitimate read more

The best PERIOD. I have tried many different tint shop around Bellevue/Seattle but this one is the best. I had previously done my tint on a different shop all claim they cannot remove dust in the air when bubbles appeared in the tint. But, I do not see a single bubble on my tint done by Carlos. Pro works is different than pro wanna be works. that most tinting shops around WA claimed to be. Thanks again, Carlos! read more

Over the course of four years I have visited Carlos at Darkside Window Tinting to take care of our needs. The cars for the company that I own need to be quality inside and out, our clients deserve and expect it. When we bought our first car four years ago we consulted Yelp to help us find a quality window tinting company. At that time, Darkside had a solid 5 star rating, so we gave Carlos a try. We were not let down by the work that was done and brought him our second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth cars! The quality of work is there and it only makes our cars look even better than when we bought them. The only time we've ever had a problem was when we had some very tiny bubbles at the top of one of the front windows, when I showed them to Carlos...he fixed them right away as we were standing there. No return and no sight of those bubbles ever again. Yesterday, I took him two new cars and he completed both of them in a matter of five hours. Yea, five hours for two full cars. He's a hard working man that owns and operates Darkside all on his own and has earned every single legitimate review on Yelp. I'm looking forward to bringing our next 43 cars to Darkside for our tinting needs. Thanks, Carlos, you're the best in the biz and no one can say otherwise and if they do, they probably have never really had their cars tinted by Darkside. read more

Carlos is does good work... My experience with them was pretty good. They were able to give me the lowest quote (~$200) in town and fit me in rather quickly. They use Aegis films with is made in the USA. They did my audi avant in 4 hours and provided quality work and material. As with all tinting these day, it come with a lifetime warranty. I read good reviews on them on the car forums and they delivered. Looks like a run down building but it works for doing tinting. Carlos will take of you. We may even have them do some tinting on our house. read more

Good overall experience. had an appointment to have my G37 coupe tinted at 10am - I arrived a few minutes early and the place was closed (sign said the owner was offsite with a number to call) I waited until 10am to call. Carlos answers as he pulls up next to me. Talk about timing! The job was done in less than two hours. A little over $200.00 with tax. The tint is excellent - I haven't seen any bubbles. The area is a little shady and easy to miss if you're not looking carefully. Not too much room for parking. Would I consider having other vehicles tinted there? Absolutely! Great job for a reasonable price. read more

Darkside Window Tinting - Car Window Tinting Near Me - Bothell, Washington

All the positive reviews are correct, this place provides high quality window tinting. My tint has been on for about a year now and I haven't had any issues whatsoever. It looks GREAT! I asked Carlos to match the factory tint on my 4Runner and he did an excellent job. He even met me at the shop early one morning on a day he typically does offsite work. I really appreciated his flexibility and willingness to fit my schedule and will definitely return if I ever need another car tinted. read more

I love Carlos' tint work on my car. He was very professional and answered all of my questions thoroughly. My car is my baby, so I looked very carefully at everything he did. He was detailed and only missed one spot but as soon as I pointed it out, he fixed it right away. Note: The venue is super sketchy looking, but trust me, don't just judge by aesthetics. =] Would highly recommend anyone to get their car tinted here and would most definitely come back if I bought a new car and needed a tint job again. Thanks again, Carlos! read more

Great work here. Tint wasn't as dark as I thought 18% would be, but Carlos had me come in so he could measure and verify I got what I asked, which I did. I would definitely recommend darkside tinting. read more

Just got my 2010 VW GTI tinted at Darkside Window Tinting. Carlos did a wonderful job at what I consider a very reasonable price ($200 + tax). I had the car back in less than three hours. The finish was very clean. It came with a lifetime warranty, too. I highly recommend him. read more
