    Brought it in to have the headlights rewired
    On Blast A.

    My fiance had her GT-R lighting rewired here so that the drls and thunderbolts stay on at all times. Tim did an excellent job. I can also vouch for the work he has done on my friend's GT-R where he had the turn signal switch backs and the headlight housings done. They look excellent! He has been working on lights for years and the quality of work shows. Tim provides excellent customer service and has worked with tons of expensive cars so he knows how to treat them right. 10/10

    Been putting off put off getting my car tinted until I was recommended to Ryan. Ryan is knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. Not pushy what so ever & very flexible. He made it so easy :) It was also a lot more affordable than I had thought ! I love my car even MORE now, it's so sleek on the outside, and surprisingly clear on the inside--somehow it feels like it's more clear compared to prior to the tint. And I got the ceramic, it's been pretty cold in SD so not sure how well it will keep out the heat, but I'm glad it'll help the longevity of my seats. Couldn't be happier with GarageWorks

    Professional clean work ! Tim has installed 2 different set of lights on my 2017 Mustang GT one of them being the Diode Dynamics Demon Eye Kit and the other being the Diode Dynamics LED Kit ! If you want it done right come here these guys know what they are

    Rear bumper appliqué done by Ryan

    Can't say enough good things about GarageWorks. I've known Ryan for a long time and I trust his work. From wrapping a full car, to the smallest vinyl overlay; these guys pay attention to the smallest details. Their customer service is excellent as well. I had a rear bumper appliqué done on my Subaru by Ryan and it looked great at first, but I ended up not liking the look. Ryan worked with me tweaking the design until I was absolutely satisfied. If you want quality work done, look no further. These guys do it right.

    Took my 2016 Nissan 370Z into Tim to get the headlight housing painted as well as adding RBG Dual Halos. I extremely satisfied with the quality! Tim was very honest, friendly, and a pleasure to do business with. He gave me a full walk through after the work had been completed. This shop deals with very high quality vehicles daily and you can ensure that your car is getting taken care of and you're getting what you're paying for. Highly recommend this location for anyone considering/looking for what they offer.

    Tim at Garageworks is the best! Whenever I have any new mods I always bring it to him because he does the best quality work. Their custom headlights come out looking amazing. So if you're looking to get some mods installed or custom headlights I definitely recommend you contact GarageWorks SD! Be patient if they don't reply right away. You won't regret it!

    Thank you Ryan and Tim of Garageworks for the excellent work on my roof overlay and custom headlights. The gloss black roof overlay and fin gave my car a nice touch. I was most impressed with the amber delete on my ISF headlights. They took the time to take apart my headlights and change out the ugly orange LEDs and replaced them with the cool white, along with covering up the amber lens with reflective vinyl. I recommend you check these guys out for all of your vinyl or custom headlight needs.

    Clear corner mod on my 2012 Audi TTRS

    Tim removed the amber reflectors in my 2012 Audi TTRS and wrapped in a very OEM looking matte black, giving me the European look I wanted without having to spend $1,500 importing headlights from Germany :) Very professional install, you can't tell the headlights were ever even opened, highly recommended.

    The before - 10 years of damage

    Came to Ryan for headlight restoration. I've had my car for 10 years and my headlights were terrible! The ease, speed, quality and cost of the restoration was great. Highly impressed and would highly recommend. My headlights are like new!

    I had my heart set on the 2019 WRX Limited as they came with the blacked out headlights and LED C-Lights. I contacted GarageWorks SD to see if they could do something similar if I purchased a Base model instead. They told me that this could be easily accomplished with a 1 day turnaround. The following weekend, I purchased my base model haha. Well, needless to say they delivered. It came out better than expected and the C-Lights that they used are much brighter than the factory Subaru ones. Customer service is unparalleled. They even came to my home to do the work as he could hear the hesitation when they told me I could leave the car for the night. I'm mean come on, in home service?! They have definitely lived up to their reputation in regards to customer service and quality of work. Do your self a favor and contact GarageWorks SD if you need work done.

    2014 Toyota 4runner chrome delete
    Myra B.

    Attention to detail is everything!!! Ryan did an amazing job on installing my chrome delete overlays. If you have ever seen a 2014+ 4runner, you would know there are a lot of crazy curves and angles on the headlights/taillights, and Ryan made it work. He talked me through the process and made sure I was pleased every step of the way. He takes his time to make it right because he takes pride in his work. I highly recommend their services!

    Ryan was great to work with. He was fast, efficient and professional. I had my windows tinted and mud flaps installed on my Subaru. If I decide to have work done in the future, I trust Ryan to get the job done.

    Ryan did an excellent job installing a pair of taillight overlays. I bought the overlays locally on bluebatoverlays and was recommended to get them installed by him since I messed up trying it myself. Ryan is a cool guy to talk to and his years of experience with wraps definitely does show! Had the overlays installed on a 2018 wrx with 20% tint.

    Great service and top notch work. Second car I bring in here. Got our Tesla tinted here 5 years ago…read moreand still looks great. Brought back another vehicle today for Ceramic IR window tinting. Very happy. Thank you guys

    Thank you to Danny and staff at SD Auto Glass and Tint! They did an amazing job on tinting my 2022…read moreToyota Highlander. After a brief consultation at the shop, I went with their 3M Ceramic IR film - 15% for all sides, rear windows & sunroof and 35% front windshield. At first, I wanted to black out my front windshield. However, I occasionally have to place a handicap placard on my rear view mirror when transporting certain family members. Danny strongly recommended that I go with a light enough film to be still able to see the placard when displayed, obviously for legal reasons. Thanks Danny for the recommendation! Danny initially mentioned that it would take about 4 hrs but they got me out very quickly in just a couple. Lastly, at the completion, he made sure to let me know about little details like to not open my windows for the next 2 days to let the film settle and also that I may notice some streaking/air bubble-like appearances on the films which will ultimately disappear. (Putting my trust in Danny since these were quite noticeable as I left the shop. ) Great pricing with Lifetime warranty, too! Overall, I had a great experience from beginning to end. I would recommend SD Auto Glass & Tint to everyone! Thanks again, Danny and Team!!

    I got my last car tinted here and the tint held up beautifully. Since I had such a good experience…read morelast time, I decided to get my new car tinted here (Miramar location). The car is brand new and when the dealership was detailing the car for me to take home, they must have sprayed Armor All haphazardly on the back seats and got it on my back window. The guys at Tint World had to reapply the tint on the back window twice, for a total of three times before the tint wouldn't come away from the glass around the edges. After some automotive degreaser and patience, 3rd time's a charm! I really appreciate how accommodating and persistent Jimmy and the guys were with making sure I left with an awesome tint job with no problems. Mine was a unique problem that they found the answer to instead of just saying, "sorry, we don't know how to fix it," and sending me on my way. I would definitely recommend Jimmy and Tint World to those who want a great tint job that will withstand the test of time and top tier customer service. Also, keep Armor All away from your windows!

    This was my third vehicle getting tinted, but my first Tesla, and I'm very happy I chose Tint…read moreWorld. From the moment I arrived, the staff was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about Tesla vehicles. I had all the windows tinted, including the windshield, and the quality of the work exceeded my expectations. The installation was clean, precise, and free of any bubbles or imperfections. The team completed the entire job in about two hours, which was much faster than I expected. What I appreciated most was their attention to detail and willingness to answer all my questions. They explained the different tint options and helped me choose the best one for privacy, heat rejection, and appearance. My Tesla looks amazing now, and the added privacy and comfort make a huge difference when driving. If you're looking for professional window tinting with excellent customer service and quality workmanship, I highly recommend Tint World.

The work was done…read morewith care and attention to detail, and they took their time rather than rushing through it. They explained the warranty and aftercare in a straightforward way. What also stood out is that they're using a legitimate professional system, not off-the-shelf products, and applying it properly.

    I brought my new Lexus GX 550 in for the Ultimate Armour package (just under $5k)…read more Scheduling and drop-off were both straightforward and easy, so no complaints there. Where things started to slip was on the pickup side. I was told the car was ready, but still ended up waiting about 30-40 minutes before actually getting it. At checkout, I was also surprised to see a tip screen with suggested amounts that felt pretty high given the service. I ended up leaving a small tip, but the experience itself didn't really match that level of expectation. I also would have appreciated a quick walkthrough of the work that was done--especially at that price point--but it was more of a quick handoff of the keys. I came back for the 10-day follow-up and made a point to ask about timing ahead of time. I was told it would take about an hour. I arrived early, but after an hour the car hadn't been touched yet, and there wasn't any update unless I asked. That part was frustrating. So, they ended up rushing my 10-day follow-up inspection. Gave the car a quick rinse and handed me the keys. What was the point of driving down from Carlsbad??? Over 3 hours wasted. For comparison, I had a great experience at their Kearny Mesa location previously, so I know what they're capable of. This location is stretched thin, which seemed to impact communication and overall service. I was not the only customer in the lobby feeling this way. Given the type of clientele they're working with and the pricing, I was expecting a bit more consistency and attention to detail. Their follow-up consisted of more sales pitches of coupons for services I already had done. Would have been nice to have the discounts PRIOR to the work! I planned on using the wash program and mentioned to Jasmine my poor service experience. Think there was follow-up? Nada. So, thumbs "kind of" up for Ceramic Pro but thumbs down for this location. Overall, I think the company itself does good work, and have used the Kearny Mesa location in the past several times with excellent success!! I would not choose this location again.
