Dave is awesome. Quality job. Completely happy. He did my Santa Fa front and sides. Looks amazing. Dave is a one man operation, so be patient getting on his calendar, but the end product is solid. Couldn't be happier. Not to mention Dave is cool dude to just shoot the breeze with. Great job Dave. read more

He does a great job. He's tinted 3 vehicles for me so far. He's very thorough and up front with pricing.

I took my husbands car here to get tinted when we first moved to Charlottesville, I was so impressed I brought my new car to get tinted a few months back. I definitely would recommend details in motion to anyone. Very professional! read more

Received numerous recommendations for "Details in motion" from extremely pleased customers to Auto detailing companies. High praise from others in the business. Talked with David, the owner and he went over all my options. Very knowledgeable and doesn't try to up sell into something you don't need. I was fortunate enough to watch the entire installation process and was super impressed at his attention to detail. His work is first class and the results are fantastic. I need the tinting to avoid excess sun exposure, however, regardless of your needs the finished product looks gorgeous. read more

Details In Motion - 2021 Hyundai Elantra - Car Window Tinting Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

The owner Dave REALLY knows his stuff. I knew from the first phone call he knew what he was talking about and felt confident in setting up my appointment. I've been to most window tint shops on the west side of VA and couple in central, and DIM BLOWS them out of the water! I arrived 15 minutes late AND got to spend over 1.5 hours hands-on side-by-side with Dave, discussing and debating all the films and combinations he had. Never once did he rush me or try and upsell me! Can you say that about any of the last places you've tinted your vehicle? I always felt rushed at the others or it seemed like they had a group of inexperienced people. Dave was professional, down to earth, patient, AND super fast to do all windows in a crew cab truck! He did in a couple hours single handed what other shops take four people to do and would NEVER come this close to perfection. Normally when you leave with tinted windows first day it looks like a mess; somehow he managed to leave it looking almost perfect and it'll only get better after a couple more days! OH! DIM is also lightyears ahead of the competition as far as techniques and tricks are concerned! Dave does things I didn't even know were possible. He's an expert in his trade and the best I've ever seen. I will be recommending Details In Motion to everyone. All these perfect ratings are for a reason. We all voluntarily came on here to leave a review because this is what keeps Details In Motion in business! Stop debating where to go, support this man and this brand and come out with quality you didn't think was possible and the confidence knowing he stands behind the finished product for years to come. read more

David is the owner and did a great job of power washing our home. Great communication and showed up when expected.

One of the nicest and most honest person I have encountered when dealing with anything vehicle related! He literally walked me through what I could see through and cared enough to explain the safety behind checking the tint with my vision. Would recommend to anyone looking to tint their vehicle. I feel safe knowing he cared enough to explain everything to me before slapping on the darkest tint. read more

My car has a ton of glass that in the summer makes for a really hot greenhouse when I get into it after it's been sitting in a parking lot all afternoon. Window tinting to the rescue. I stopped into the shop and David was working on tinting a truck. He asked me questions about my car, what I wanted to achieve - control the heat from the sun, glare protection, a bit of privacy and style. He also went over the state car window tint laws. I made an appointment for the following weekend. In the end, I went with ceramic tint - 50% front windows, 35% rears and a tint strip on the upper windshield. After driving the car for a week and keeping the windows up (needed for the tint to set) I can say the interior of my car is much cooler when I get into it after it's been sitting in a parking lot on a sunny day. Paired up with a quality windshield sunshade, I no longer enter a sauna when I get into my car. Yeah, it's still warm but not oppressively hot. The window tinting also has another positive effect - the AC cooling system doesn't have to work so hard to cool the interior and when it gets to the desired temp, quickly I might add, I notch down the fan and temp dials and still remain comfortable. Can't say that sans window tinting. The car is cooler now, both literally and figuratively, and I'm happy with the results. Dave's install was flawless and even then the tinting is warrantied for life. Highly recommended for both product and service. read more

This review is a bit out of date, so please know that ownership/location may have changed since my experience. Google lists Details in Motion at two separate addresses: 625 West Main Street, Charlottesville, VA 22903 is the actual location of the business. Both listings have the same phone number, which is correct. DM is a one-man company located behind the Blue Bird restaurant on Main Street. It's basically a small garage in a parking lot, but don't let that fool you. The owner, David, is as professional as they come and does flawless work. I had my car, a Honda Civic hatchback tinted here way back in mid (or late) 2002. I sold the car in December of 2008 and the tint still looked like new when I sold it. Even after six years there was absolutely no fading/discoloration or peeling or bubbling on any of the windows. Most tint jobs leave from a quarter inch to a full inch of un-tinted glass around the edges of the windows. Mine had a couple millimeters at most. Details in Motion, David, does the best window tinting I've ever seen. I live in northern Virginia now, but fully intend to drive back down to Charlottesville for a reliable tint job. read more

I took my daughters X3 for a tint job. When I went to pick up the vehicle David was not finished and he said he did not like the rear window.. I couldnt see anything wrong with it, but who am I to argue. Bottom line is after curing (1 week) I inspected all the windows and I could not find a single dust speck. !!! Truly a flawless job. David is a perfectionist ! read more

We had our windows tinted on our Tesla model 3. Dave had great advice and we went with his recommendations. He did a great job on the windows! We have no complaints at all. read more

I just had my 2020 Toyota RAV4 front windows tinted by Dave at Details in Motion. Fantastic job and outstanding customer service. Dave is the owner and operator of Details in Motion, and is incredibly hard working and knowledgeable. Dave has many different tints to offer his customers and will guide to you to pick the right choice for your car. His work speaks for itself. Not to mention the lifetime warranty on the tints he uses. I highly recommend Dave and Details in Motion if you are looking for window tinting. read more

Did an amazing job on both our 4Runner and Camry! Only person we would use! Excellent work!!

Had my new Prius Prime tinted here due to the good reviews. I now see why. He started on the car right when I arrived. Gave me good advice on which film to use without trying to upsell me. He listened to what my needs were and where we would be using the car. Installation took a little longer than estimated as this was only the 2nd Prime he had done. The work was perfect. Great attention to detail. After a few weeks, I cannot find a single dust speck or flaw in the tinting. read more

David was great and extremely professional. His work was excellent and the car was finished in the timeframe he promised. Would highly recommend and the prices are very fair. read more

In the Virginia heat and strong sunshine nothing beats quality heat and light diminishing film on vehicle windows installed professionally. At this shop you can count on film being installed properly from a truck, Suv, sports or luxury car its in good hands and after experiencing the results you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. I've taken like 5 cars here over the years and the service has always been top notch! My wife and son now hates to even ride in a car without film installed at Details in Motion. I've never had a problem after installation but if there ever was I know I could go back and Dave would fix it. read more

Just got my 2013 subaru WRX window tinting done and also a protect film on the headlights. Dave discussed in depth about my questions about paint protection films (clear bra) and window tint and then give his suggestions. The window tint looks perfect, dark enough and very carefully done. Also, a loaner car is available for me to run my errands while he works on my car. Wonderful man and great job done. Highly recommended. read more

Dave was extremely helpful and informative without being pushy or salesy. He stayed late to accommodate my schedule and the quality of the work is outstanding. I would definitely recommend them for anyone needing tinting. read more

David (the owner) removed my tint for me. He did a great job and charged a fair price. He's also a really nice guy. I had an issue getting a ride back when I dropped my car off and he was nice enough to give me one. I'd recommend going to Details in Motion for sure. read more

Had my VW R32 tinted by DiM and it looks fantastic. The owner takes pride in his work and it shows. They use Formula1 tint which has a lifetime warranty. read more

Dave has tinted several cars for me over the years and it's always a wonderful job. He's a super nice guy, and I am extremely busy so I texted him to see his availability and he responded quickly and got me in within a week when I got a new car. He told me what number I should get to make it look good and that a little darker would be OK since I have a lighter color interior. I absolutely love how it looks and the job is obviously very quality. Will continue to go to and recommend him! read more

Just had our old tint removed from the windows of our 2004 Honda Accord to help with visibility. The windows look GREAT! David was very professional and courteous. He asked that we drop the car off the night before and it was ready the very next morning. Highly recommend you take your vehicle to him for tinting! Pricing is reasonable and fair! We will take our car back in the near future for tinting. He is located close to downtown, UVA, and is very easy to get to. Go see David at Details in Motion for your car tinting! read more

Dave did a great job tinting my car windows. Very professional job also did a great job at explaining the different tints and the tinting process. He even had a loaner car that I was able to use while my windows were being tinted. read more

Highly recommend! David is a master of his craft and his customer service/attention to detail are second to none. He uses top of the line products (FormulaOne) and has competitive prices. Just had all the windows in my truck tinted and when David was done, he helped me remove all the 3M adhesive left over from me removing my rain shields on all four doors. This was done with his equipment, his supplies, and on his time! Can't say enough good things. read more

Dave is the best window tinting guy in the state, hands down. We just bought a new Jeep patriot we'll be taking to him to have the front windows matched to the factory tint on the rear(he always matches it perfectly). He's also done all 7 vehicles of mine I've had in the past.( Jeep commander, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Wrangler, 2 Chevy silverados, Toyota corolla, And a BMW 328i. We've never had a problem with any of the vehicles tint fading, bubbling, peeling, etc. and he warrantys his work for as long as you own the vehicle, it's window tinting as good as it gets. Don't hesitate to give him a call. -John F. read more

I received exceptional service; I let Dave know I had a few questions before I selected someone to tint my new car and he invited me over to his shop. I saw him and how he worked meticulously, his digital cutting technology and custom tools, he gladly educated me on his product and we scheduled tint work to my car. I love the results. He put the tint past the car interior and all the way to the edge of the glass. Literally. All of it. And, even the dot matrix looks flawless. I will definitely go back as long as his doors are open. Though, I'm afraid his tinting will last so many years that recommending his work would probably be more productive. So here we are. read more

Let's jus say I called and I was In a few days later! I have always had a wonderful experience with Dave he has done all of the cars I have owned ! Wonderful service and promo timing !!! read more

I've had two cars tinted by Dave (all windows + windshields), and the results have been amazing. I've known Dave for years and he's super nice, honest, and reliable. His work is flawless and this level of quality is worth more than he charges. Both cars look awesome, and bad guys can't see what's inside. When parked, the car doesn't get nearly as hot. Unexpected benefits: when driving, I use less AC so my fuel economy went up by a few MPGs (city). Dave always takes time to explain the tint film options, and even has a testing rig (straight out of the science fair) that shows how much heat and light each one blocks! I had one car tinted with metallic film, and the other with ceramic "formula one". The ceramic tint cost more, but it performs noticeably better like the test showed. If you have a nice car, don't cheap out on the film. Both cars have "air 80" on the windshield and it really cuts the heat and glare without looking illegal like darker tints might. My wife thought tinting the cars was a dumb idea and a waste of money, until she saw and drove mine! Had hers done a month later :) read more

I have taken all of my cars to Dave and every time he never disappoints. The tint job is always grade A, and he offers you a lifetime warranty on the job in case it ever bubbles in the future (which has yet to ever happen to any of my cars) and his prices are very good. I highly recommend him over all the other places in Charlottesville. read more

Details In Motion elevates window tinting to the level of a fine craft. David, the proprietor, is highly professional, knowledgeable, meticulous, and takes the time to get it right. I was impressed from start to finish and couldn't be more pleased! read more

I have had several vehicles done by David did a great job on all of them, he gets the tint right to the edge of the window. It looks like it came from the factory he is so good. My car has had the tint on since 2005 and still looks great. Got my truck done in 2012 and looks wonderful. The other vehicle I sold but the tint was looking great when I sold it. He takes the time to talk to you about what you want done and does not rush you. He does great work and seems to be an honest businessman. My wife just got a new car so I am sure we will be seeing him again soon. read more
