    So Yelp did it again. Because of Yelp, I found a great business ----Rock Chip Armor rocks with a fantastic product ----XPEL Prime Auto Window Film and a hard-working owner/operator ----Tony did a great job. Tony took care of my 4-door sedan and even tinted the windshield and sunroof. Why did I choose Rock Chip Armor? I learned about Ceramic Window Tint online. Not all window tint is quality and even the good tints fail in comparison with XPEL which greatly reduces the heat of the sun. I got the XPEL Prime which reduces the heat from the sun by 88%! There is also Prime Plus that reduces up to 98% if you need more protection. Utilizing a nano-ceramic construction, XPEL is clear, doesn't block your cellphone or radio signals, and keeps looking flawless for many years. There is a lifetime warranty included that covers you from defects. I am so happy. My previous tint was bubbled and warped in the back. Tony worked hard and now it's clear and cooler, all without breaking the bank too much. You get quality product and diligent work here. Get a quote today. He also specializes in saving your paint with similar products. Legit.

    Tony is amazing. Very professional and fantastic workmanship. No wonder why he has all 5 star ratings. High end vehicles expect the best, he won't disappoint if you need PPF coating.

    The protective wrap is for riding in these conditions.

    Tony was super easy to work with and very accommodating. The results exceeded my expectations! Tony was very careful and patient making sure for the best possible result. I highly recommend, especially for anyone with a new adventure bike.

    Took our new C8 to Tony at Rock Chip Armor based on a recommendation from a fellow Xpel installer. We couldn't be happier with the work Tony did. We found Tony to be very professional and attentive to detail. He got the job done in a very timely manner. We had Tony do a full Xpel Ceramic Coat. He got into all the nooks and crannies. We asked for a very in-depth job and he really rose to the occasion. We are great full we got introduced to Tony and highly recommend him to anyone looking to PPF or Ceramic Coat their car. We won't think twice about going to him for our future needs.

    Front windows tinted, ceramic Xpel tint.

    If your in the market to get your vehicle windows tinted...go to Tony at Rock Chip Armor! Super professional, clean shop & customer service is top notch! For being a one man show, I see why he's busy by the quality of work he does. Thank you Tony for getting my truck done when you promised!

    Tony Torres of ROCK CHIP ARMOR, expertly applied his XPEL ULTIMATE PAINT PROTECTION FILM (PPF) product resulting in a nice CLEAR BRA treatment to my new Tesla Model 3. The Hood, front fenders, bumper, headlamps, turn signal lights, and mirrors were covered with the PPF, providing protection against chips and scratches for the next 10 years. http://www.rockchiparmor.com/ rockchiparmor@gmail.com I highly recommend Tony if you want to protect your car with PPF. Tony came to my house and worked six hours to complete this delicate project. He is very dedicated, skilled, and thorough, and very proud of his work. I'm glad to recommend him to you.

    Tony did an excellent job applying a paint protective film, window tint and ceramic coating to my vehicle. Quality craftsmanship with great customer service.

    Tony took car of our Model Y with fantastic work. Full front wrap will keep it looking great for years. We will be bringing it back for tint work.

    Okay I was tryna find a window tinting shop nearby and found Rock Chip Armor, Tony was very responsive on my inquiries via email and the next day I called him if I can bring my car in the afternoon. Despite the short notice he agreed and we met in his shop. I even had him wrap my emblem from silver to gold which is pretty dope. He has done a pretty amazing job with the window tint and my new gold emblem in a timely manner. Tony is vey professional and the price is reasonable. I will for sure recommend him to my friends and family. Thank you, Tony!

    See all

    Tony did an awesome job on the clear bra on my truck. It has helped keep the paint looking brand new.

    Ceramic Pro tinted the windows on our ne 2026 CT5-V, (all but the windshield). After going over the…read morevarious options for tint level, I chose a 55 for the front and a 35 for the back. The work was completed in ~3-1/2 hrs and it came out looking great. Their shop is neat and clean and they offered the best price for a quality ceramic tint out of 4 total bids I got. I definitely recommend them and would send family and close friends to them for their tinting needs.

    Update mixed experience: from 5 to 1 star…read more Art the tint installer at Ceramic Pro, who installs tint for Ceramic Pro and for his own business AR tints made false claims about the tint he installed (bait and switch) - said he was installing Ceramic tint but actually installed a dyed film on my 2026 GX 550 Overtrail Plus. Kevin the owner of Ceramic Pro was very pleasant, was contacted, and after Kevin spoke to Art - the tint was removed and replaced at no charge (though I gave Art a $100 tip for taking care of it.) This work was done under the AR TINT business name - located at Ceramic Pro. I followed with a 5 star review of both businesses, despite the sketchiness of what happened. I noticed within a few days that the window had tiny dots all over the windshield (which had a WPF in place that was installed by another local shop). Art has said that little bubbles were normal and wound go away.. Turns out what I was seeing was damage to the WPF caused by the application of high heat to the previously installed WPF. Art, the installer INADVERTENTLY heat etched the WPF. Art would not make good on replacing the WPF (placed originally by Esoteric) that he damaged. Kevin the owner at Ceramic pro looked at the damaged WPF and said that if I wanted it replaced by Ceramic Pro it would be $500. Not good!!! I had another previous mixed experience with Art (Ceramic pro's installer) with my BMW 550. The end product continues to look great and at a reasonable price. However, in the process of the i installation, The entire back of the BMW was soaked with water, including the Insulation of the rear of the car.. with a large puddle of water in the trunk area .. The rear had to be dried with fans and mopped up after I brought the car home. Kevin gets 5 plus stars for how things were handled when the first issue occurred. He convinced Art to replace the tint (even though Art was doing his job under AR TINT and not Ceramic Pro). I was pleased with the overall appearance after the second visit .. The second issue with water soaking of the rear of the BMW I overlooked ... .. After the 3rd issue occurred and Art was unwilling to Replace the WPF that he damaged, my kudos for the good work that was done turned to criticism. Art as an installer does good work - but beware of damage to your vehicle that may occur in the process. I took two vehicles to him and both were damaged ... If you do get work done at this location, I would avoid AR TINT, and keep in mind, the unfortunate truth that Art is the onsite tint installer who will be working on your car at Ceramic Pro as well (despite being separate from AR TINT - in terms of ownership). 5 stars for Kevin for how he handled the first issue. 1 star for Art. Picture of WPF damage caused by Art. (This "Solarguard" WPF was placed originally by Esoteric around the corner from Ceramic Pro). WPF was about 2-3 weeks old when heat etching damage was done by Art, the Tint installer for AR TINTS and Ceramic Pro). Unfortunately due to the damage caused by Art, the warranty on the WPF done by Esoteric was voided - - so now I have to pay out of pocket for its replacement. Art caused the problem, agreed to fix it, and then texted me back saying he would not fix the problem and to "feel free to leave me a review." This is that 1 star review for Art at Ceramic pro and ARTINTS. Won't be going back to have any work done by him in the future. AND I highly recommend avoiding having him work on your car. Will be headed back to Esoteric who did a phenomenal PPF job and pay to have them remove and redo the damaged WPF. Art cost me more than the money saved going to him for tint. Lesson learned.
