Huge shout out to Sam for doing such a great job on my tints. He was extremely professional and super friendly and made sure I got everything I needed/wanted. The service was done at a reasonable time ~ 2.5 hrs And for the price, it was quite reasonable as well. $680 for all around 50% for the front, 30% first two, 15% other two, and 5% back. And I have to say she looks great I highly recommend anybody who is looking to get their car done. Thank you to Sam and John!! Can't wait for it to fully set
Had to get my terrible wrap job/scam from a different shop removed... Essential Tints was willing to help and remove the other shop's sketchy work for a fair price. Very professional, friendly and honest. From Martin, John, Sam and Daniel-- all are great people who go the extra mile, and I'm sure others I didn't meet are the same. Thanks again
This was an amazingly easy experience. Gave me up front pricing that was reasonable and John was super respectful and helpful. Nobody thought my older Nissan Altima was beneath doing a beautiful tint job, even though they had many higher end cars there. The waiting room was clean and comfortable. before I left, they explained the maintenance and what to expect so I wouldn't be surprised and reminded me that they have a lifetime warranty. I left feeling very satisfied. I would highly recommend Essential Tints LA!
Highly recommend Essential Tints for all your paint protection film needs. When I first called them the team answered all my extensive questions and really made sure I knew exactly what was going to be done and set clear expectations from the beginning. I originally wanted to go with gloss but after looking at the XPEL stealth ppf I was completely sold. It changed my cars original paint to a satin finish which came out incredible. You can tell they really care about your car and our passionate about what they do! Thanks again guys!
Shopped around before I called Essential Tints. The other places didn't get back to me with a quote until almost a week later. When I called Essential Tints, I was able to talk to the team the same day, and got a quote the same day. They gave me the best rate out of all the other shops I called. Super friendly and really knowledgeable. I wanted to do a PPF on a 2025 Porsche Panamera and also tint the windows, and as you can see, the job came out amazing. The car was at their shop for a week, but they have a Tesla loaner that you can borrow in the meantime. This is the first time I hear of a loaner which was awesome because they also include the charging while your car is at the shop. Picked up the car a week later due to the size of the job, but I'm really happy with the way it came out. It makes the car look custom after applying the satin PPF. Also, I really appreciate the recommendation of the Smokey headlights because it makes the car stand out more. I ended up taking another car for window tinting after this job. They only offer one type of ceramic tinting, but it's the best quality you can get. Can't complain on that aspect. Really makes the car less hot during the peak summer days. The thing that stood out the most was that a month after getting the PPF done on the car, someone hit my car with their door and ripped part of the PPF on the handle. Took the car back to the team after getting a quote to get it fixed, but at the end, they replaced it for free! Their customer service is really unmatched. I really cannot recommend them enough. Best quotes around and an amazing knowledgeable team. Thank you guys!
Essential Tints is your one stop shop for everything automotive care. When I first called them, Jon answered the phone and was able to give me a price for full body XPEL PPF as well as a ceramic coating. PPF is really hit or miss depending on the installer, and i can tell you that Essential Tints is a hit (see images below). I cannot recommend Jon and Sam enough when it comes to PPF and ceramic coating. After they installed the PPF, they had me come back a few weeks later to touch up any air pockets that may have formed while the film was curing. PPF was installed with precision being that all edges that could be tucked, were. If you need anything done to your car from PPF, ceramic coatings, to even installing cosmetic parts, essential tints is the place to go. Jon and Sam are great and they treat each car that goes through them as their own. Thanks again Jon and Sam. Be in touch soon!
Jon and Sam are stand up gentlemen and very attentive to their customers needs and vision... Not only did they help with my gorgeous color ppf wrap but they also helped custom paint my front grill and rear diffuser from Japan.... They car looks showroom and gets heads to turn... For a 10 yr old car that's quite amazing .... I will be taking all my cars and referring all my friends and family to them for anything wrap or tint related!!! A+ work!!!! Check for yourself everyone!!
Just had my car tinted here, it was the second time I've used them. The workmanship is 10 out of 10, but what really set them apart is their amazing customer service and the pleasant experience you have when coming here. It's so common lately for businesses to be unpleasant and unwelcoming, but this business is the exact opposite of this. I will continue to use these guys and I would highly recommend them to anybody looking for quality service for their next vehicle.
Great service all the way through. I'm very pleased I chose Essential Tints for my tint project. The team was very responsive of my questions and concerns while I was researching for this project. The waiting area is very clean and relaxing with full amenities. Snacks, drinks and media. Martin and I believe John were extremely nice and detailed. Pricing is very competitive compared to other quotes I received. As of right now I am 4 days out from the completion of the project. I can tell a difference in not only the quality but also performance of the tint application I got which was the Phantom S9. Excellent heat reduction and the Smokey gray color tone it has compared to my previous tint which was turning brown. Also there is a lifetime warranty on the tint. Cant beat that. Thanks again for the excellent job.
Jon, Sam, and all the guys at Essential Tints were amazing to work with! They are very detail oriented and did a superb job with the tint and ceramic coating process. My car was at their shop for a few days but they provided updates throughout the process which helped build trust so I realized my car was in good hands. They are very knowledgeable and answered all my questions right away as well. I highly recommend! Their professionalism is unmatched!

Honestly, i was on the hunt for a good place to trust my car with wrapping it. I called probably everyone possible in the valley that does wraps. But when i called Essential tints, they basically broke down everything i was looking for and even told me i can come by and check out the wraps they have in person. So after going there and meeting with the team, Sam, Martin, and John. They all kind of broke down the best options for me to move forward (considering I will have my car for 7-10 more years). They then introduced to me something called "Color PPF". and When i first heard it, i was thinking okay that sounds dope but what's the price tag..? Turns out vinyl wrap that every shop uses, lasts only like 3 years or so, while the colored PPF lasts 7-10 years. And when you're already considering to pay a good amount of money to get a car wrapped, why not put in a little bit more and get the best possible results. I cannot explain the ease of the whole thing. I also had them redo my tint and wow the difference is worldly. To be honest, the biggest thing that made me wanna get it done with essential tints, is the fact that they offer a loaner car... i've NEVER seen a shop do that. only dealerships. They did a fantastic job on it honestly i don't have anything but great words because my car is truly 1-1 now. (even if it's just a "tesla") So thank you John, Sam, and Martin and your whole crew for this amazing job done. 10/10 will definitely be coming back with more cars and need to get more tints done on mine read more

Excellent work and worth every penny. Highly recommend! Just had my car windows tinted here and the results are outstanding. The tint looks factory-perfect -- dark, uniform, with zero bubbles, creases, or dust. Edges are clean even on the curved rear glass. My car stays much cooler now, glare is gone, and the privacy is exactly what I wanted. The installer was professional, explained everything clearly, and took time to get it right. read more

These guys really know what they are doing. Very impressed with the quality of work and service. Explained the process of how quality control is very important to them and how they would completed the "blackout package" with deleting the chrome on the car. Also explained the differences between window tint and actually showed the difference. Highly recommend them and fair with their prices. Make your appointment with them any you won't regret it. read more

For tint and wrap service, these guys are the best! The friendly service alone is worth the money. I got all vehicles done by them. Tint job on my defender and tint/ppf wrap on my model x. They explain everything and walk you through the whole process. Definitely would recommend to anyone and will be taking all my future cars to them.

Omg where do I begin??! I absolutely loved the experience I had with John and the team at Essential Tints! I originally called for PPF on my taillights and ended up completely transforming my entire car and am sooooooo amazed by the results! From start to finish everything was ABSOLUTE perfection! They informed me of all of my different options and made sure that I made the best decisions for the absolute best results! I couldn't be happier, I mean they literally did it all from satin PPF, the carbon fiber body kit, the wheels etc...and the service, the passion they have for cars and the way they pay attention to every detail is next level! I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND! They're the best in the game by FAR! read more

I have found my new go-to tint shop. I've had many vehicles tinted over the years and have used a variety of shops. I chose Essential Tints for my most recent tint, not only because of their competitive pricing, but Martin was super fast to respond, easy to schedule, super comfortable waiting area and clean work space. I will 100% be back to do chrome delete and would recommend the shop to anyone who asks. read more

I recently bought a brand new vehicle and wanted to get it tinted since my new seats are leather and because some privacy would be nice. I'm new to the area as I moved to Woodland Hills last year so wasn't too sure where to go. Within 15 minutes of asking for a quote Martin got back to me almost immediately and provided me with some answers and a great price. I decided to wait until end of day and check out some more options, but towards the end of the day I realized that Essential Tints was going to be my spot. Martin and his team not only provided amazing customer service, but they also took the time to explain the different types of services they provide and which service would be best for me. I respect this highly because of instead just recommending the most expensive package they listened to my needs and we picked out the perfect tint without breaking the bank. The team at Essential Tints are very passionate about what they do and it truly reflects in their work. They create a fun environment while also providing an amazing experience. I loved the whole experience the first time that I had booked another appointment to make my existing rear tint darker. Overall highly recommend them, and will be back to book an appointment for the paint protector package. You won't be disappointed! read more

I found essential tints online and right away when I called they were attentive and worked with me. I have a 2025 Lexus GX 550. Sam and John both were able to answer all my questions and got me settled in right away. After I decided that I wanted to go with tint on all windows as well as the clear PPF on the front of the car they explained the process to me and were kept me up to date on progress. The car was there for a week and I wasn't worried at all. The professionalism of the team everyone who worked on my car was outstanding. The end product was even better. I recommend them to anyone who is looking to get any work done (tint/PPF). Prices were fair and craftsmanship was amazing. Once I received my car after the week I brought it back for touch ups and they were attentive to all the detail. My car is protected and looks great. Thank you guys for all your hard work. I will definitely be referring friends and family to have all work done from them ! read more

THE BEST IN THE VALLEY!!! ETLA is top notch! I took my brand new Model Y to them and boy did they exceeded my expectations! They went above and beyond. I sent out a few quote requests on here and they were the only shop that reached out to me very quickly. Jon called me, I told him what I wanted and he gave me a few different options/ideas. He is very knowledgeable and patient - I knew absolutely nothing about ceramic tint and ceramic coating. Guys, take your car here and be ready to be impressed! My car is so shiny and beautiful - I love it! read more

Let's start off with that this team was very responsive on Yelp when I had started a project and needed my Audi tinted. The prices did not change when I came in which if you've ever tinted your windows you know happens often. Transparency and class is the name of the game here. They go over the types of film available here and offer a no pressure pitch on either film. They do accept both Card and or cash and are very friendly, and efficient. The entrance is a bit hard to find, as it's in a warehouse setting but it's essentially the last unit in that cluster. I've had no bubbles in my windows and was surprised at the cozy tv and lounge area which was nice. You get great value and quality work. I'd definitely come back and recommend them! read more
