I called around to some other tint places and they were more expensive and pushy. They even tried to get me to pay for the window tinting and they have not even looked at my car or even make an appointment. They try to tell you this is so you can get their best price. Well I emailed Nicholas with Shade Custom tint. I asked for a free estimate, and he responded to me and gave me a break down of the prices. I asked if I could meet him at 5:30pm. He was more than willing to meet with me. I of course was running late. I called him and he said don't worry about it. I got there and he was very professional and showed me the different types of film. He never pushed me to do anything. I felt like he was the best man for the job! He then said he could do it right now if I wanted. I was shocked. They closed at 6PM and here it is almost 6PM, but he was willing to do the work if I wanted. I was so impressed with the work he did and how quickly he did it. He saved me from dealing with trying to schedule this for a Saturday and making my life so much easier. I can say the work was top notch! He explained everything to me, and even explained that it comes with a life time warranty and I can tell you from dealing with the other tint places. They only offer that on their most expensive plans. If you want an honest, professional person, and a awesome tint job on your car. Come See Nicholas! You will not be disappointed. Thanks again!

So i figured i'd leave my review while Im still here because they're that D*** good at Shade Custom Tint. I've been here maybe 30 minutes its been nothing but pleasant here. 1st i won't to give major props to Nick for the layout of his shop I've been to multiple shops in the past week and none have yet to touch this one! Nick was more than helpful in helping me decide on my tint it was a smooth and easy transaction compared to the service i was receiving from shops in garner. Btw i haven't even received my car back yet and i still give this place 5-Stars. I'll reiterate if you need ANY kind of tint done and you're in the 919 area check Nick out! read more

Nick did an awesome job on my 2016 Acura TLX. Not only did the car look amazing but, he was able to get me scheduled and into his shop very quickly. Nick also was very professional with his work and has many options to choose from for a great price. Lastly, after having a rock scratch the inside of my tint a few weeks after having Nick do the initial work. I went back in and Nick took care of the window. Again, he took no time to schedule me and the product was done very professionally and looks great again! I recommend anyone looking to get tint done to visit Nick and Shade Custom Tint! read more

After checking few local (Raleigh "metro") tint installers, I was impressed with Nick's pleasant manners, knowledge of the product, and timely, detailed communication. His place is cozy and functional: custom built shop and customer lounge with A/C, Wi-Fi and Netflix, etc. to entertain while you're waiting, Appointment was on time and job was done to my complete satisfaction (and I'm often tough on contractors and vendors). Glad I followed Nick's recommendations on type (Ceramic film) and tint levels. Thanks Nick! read more

The tint he uses is Llumar which is top of the line, again he's your guy if you want top notch work and quality. read more

Great service - fit my car in the same day I called to inquire about his product and pricing. Life time warranty on the product and the tint looks great!

They did my Camry about 2.5 years ago and my Tacoma 1.5 years ago and I happy to say that both vehicles are still PERFECT. I just bought a VW Jetta Sport and it desperately needs tint. So without a doubt the Jetta will be going there too. Professional staff and clean shop and waiting area. read more
