    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!

    Daaamnn!

    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!

    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!

    They did an amazing job!! Thank you Essential Tints.! Till the next time. Highly recommend this place.

    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!

    Awesome service, fast, great quality, and very reasonably priced. Sam and Martin were great to work with.

    Stunning. Custom paint on the grille

    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!!

    Had a really good experience from this shop. The staff were amazing and they explained everything well which means they really know their stuff, not to mention the very cozy lounge they have. We will def come back!

    Out of the windshield lowest light reduction

    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.

    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.

    See all

Ed answered the line and offered to give me quotes over phone. When I told him I could leave the car all day, he welcomed my business and was enthusiastic about taking my car in. When I got there, he helped me select the best tint options for my windows and the price was much more affordable than other tint shops in the area. He also offered a discount if I paid with cash. Just before I left, Ed asked if I called an Uber and when I told him I did, he asked me to wait inside the shop (I'm assuming for my safety) which I thought was a welcomed touch of human compassion that I don't experience often with car shops. When I picked up my vehicle, I was so impressed with the tint job. The windows looked so clean and the tint shade he recommended turned out perfect. He also offers a lifetime warranty for peels and cracks. I was thoroughly impressed with the service I received and how easy it was to get my car tinted so quickly, without sacrificing the quality. I will definitely be returning with future vehicles and referring friends and family to this shop.

Sketching it, refining it, second-guessing it. Then I handed that vision to The Wrap Shop and they brought it to life. Better than I imagined. Design is a respected discipline. If you don't understand it, leave it to the pros. Jessenia Alfaro and Carla speak that language fluently. From the first conversation, they understood what I was trying to do. They didn't just execute, they collaborated. They asked the right questions, pushed back where they needed to, and protected the integrity of the design at every step. Jessenia is the operator behind this shop. Project manager, designer, communicator, problem solver. She runs the whole thing with a personal touch that has been missing in this industry for a long time. She treats clients like partners, not invoices. Her work ethic, her attention to detail, and the way she handles every single touchpoint is the standard other shops should be measured against. If she's on your project, you're in good hands. Carla saved the day on a typography detail that two other designers couldn't get right. Twenty minutes on a video call and she had it dialed in. That's expertise meeting humility. Rare combination. Luigi did my install. His attention to detail on something as small as the poison storage signs told me everything I needed to know about this team. He loved his job, and it showed in every cut and every edge. His energy was unmatched. The rest of the crew, whose names I didn't catch, were just as dialed in. Every interaction was professional. Every detail was handled. Nothing was rushed, nothing was sloppy. And Arin, I'll just say it. You're way better in person than in email or text. Once I met him face to face I understood why this crew works the way it does. The personal touch is what people need, and this whole team has it. Materials and craftsmanship: 3M IJ180 with 8518 lamination, knifeless tape install, clean edges on every panel. Pro grade across the board. A note on price: they are not the cheapest shop you'll find. They're not trying to be. Quality costs. The quality here is unmatched, and you get exactly what you pay for. After spending months getting this vision right, the last thing I was going to do was hand it to the cheapest bidder. I'll be coming back for my fleet expansion. If you're looking for a vendor who treats your truck like it matters and understands that design and craftsmanship are worth investing in, stop searching. This is the spot. Steve, NOMO Pests
