I took my recently purchased used Rivian in for front window tinting. The vehicle was parked right inside their shop, and I stood next to it in the office area the entire time. I personally observed the owner (I believe that's who it was) use a pry tool to aggressively pop open the driver's door panel right at the top near the A-pillar with a casual "I've done this a million times" vibe, showing little caution. He also roughly pulled the weatherstripping out. Immediately after the job wrapped up, I found two small cuts in the vinyl on the top of the driver's door panel exactly where the prying started, about 3 inches from the pillar/door edge area. The spacing between those two cuts matched the spacing on the pry tool he was using. I also noticed one additional small cut in a similar top trim spot on the passenger side, though I didn't have a clear line of sight to watch the passenger door process as closely, so I can't detail what happened there specifically. No other issues visible anywhere else on the vehicle. When I bought the Rivian (used, so I was meticulous), I inspected all panels and trim thoroughly. I also checked the doors and those exact areas again during my drive straight to the shop that day. I habitually look at those spots every time I get in/out or drive no cuts or scratches existed beforehand. I pointed out the damage right away while still there. The owner immediately said he didn't pry against the panel at all and tried to explain exactly how he does it and how he couldn't have made that mark (despite me watching him do it on the driver's side), claimed I must not have noticed the cuts before, tried to downplay it, and even laughed at the suggestion he could have caused any issue. It was frustrating and felt dismissive, having watched some screw up your vehicle and then laugh in your face and try to gaslight you. The tint install itself (handled by the other technician, not the owner) was careful, professional, and looks good so far, no problems with the film application or quality. Because of the rough prying I witnessed, the damage appearing precisely where it happened (at least on driver's side, with the cut spacing matching his tool), and the complete denial plus laughing it off when confronted, I won't return and can't recommend this shop. Seriously, take detailed close-up photos of all door panels, trim, and vinyl BEFORE any service even on a used vehicle. It could save headaches. Or just go somewhere else. Disappointing overall, the owner should handle vehicles more carefully and maybe not laugh at the customer that watched it happen. **PS:** I was standing literally 3 feet away watching him pry the driver's door panel with his tool in the exact spot where the two cuts later appeared and the spacing of those cuts matches the tool perfectly. If someone wants to claim no prying happened, they'd have to explain why I clearly saw him do it right there, right then. To your response. Luke, that is the same contrived response you give on any negative comment. Your "industry standard" is nothing like what should have been done. I took it to several other shops and they said that they would take off the whole door panel, which you did not. you pry against the top portion to get the weatherstripping out. Your response when I brought this to your attention was "this happens all the time people trying to blame me for stuff" So do you think it's all your customers that are wrong or maybe that you're the common denominator. And yeah, I was pissed off because you were laughing in my face and telling me I didn't see what I saw. You know and I know what happened. Save the faux customer care response. read more

I have an H-1 with a very old audio system. Since I have used Auto Zone with multiple cars I have owned, I decided to stop and see if they could help me when I could not get my iPhone to marry up with my vehicle. Ray came outside and spent an unusual amount of time looking for the issue. Most people would have given up. He finally took it apart and noticed a green wire hooked up to nothing. If I had taken this to any other audio shop, I am sure they would have just sold me a new one. These guys are a huge step up in the brains department from brand-X. , read more

Great price and fast service! Definitely recommend anyone to get their tint done here. Thank you!

Got my truck tinted. I'm still new to Washington state. I had my truck tinted at 5%. After the fact it was done and paid for, I was told it was illegal to have that 5% tint on the front side windows. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL BEFORE THE TINT WAS PUT ON!!! I asked since I didn't know about the Law if they could change it to where it would be legal. The guy turned around and said it's an extra charge. Now I have to pay an extra fee to have my front side windows tinted to its legal shade. The tint job is great, but the service and the information is not. read more

I bought a second car that didn't have tinted windows and researched the window tinting company options in the Tacoma area. After calling a number of them, I found that Speedzone was not only the least expensive, gave a lifetime warranty, but was able to get me in right away. They showed me the tint options and told me that even though the 30% tint was the legal limit, that many chose the darker tints. I chose the 30% option. The job took less than two hours and is a quality job. I will be bringing my business to these guys in the future! read more

The service here is paramount. The prices are the fairest I've seen out of any other place and I've called many. I go here every time for anything I need done because I know they do good work and back a lot a stuff with a lifetime warranty not that you'll need it. I've gotten a radio install for half of what every other store quoted me on and their tent is also a good price. I kept bothering them about being able to get my radio installed and they told me they were booked up but they would call if something open up, sure enough they did and was able to get me in and out less than a hour. I don't know why but whenever I'm talking over the phone with other stores either two things are wrong they are stuck up or pricing is too much, here you won't have that problem this store is truly are a needle In the haystack. read more

I told her I already had one truck done and was going to have them take care of my 2019 Tundra, the workmanship was flawless as always and the customer service second to none!

Had been procrastinating getting my windows tinted for years. A colleague had recommended Speedzone so I went there. Called and made an appointment and the woman who helped was super polite and patient. Even got a call in the middle of the week offering to come sooner if I would like. Once I arrived for my appointment, the gentleman was very helpful given I was clueless about tinting. They texted me once my car was done and explained how to take care of it. Would definitely recommend to anyone! Thanks! read more

I dropped my car off to get the windows tinted at 10 am I got a message from them at 12 pm saying it was ready! They have awesome service and you can't beat their price ! Thank you guys again !! read more

They did a great job on all side windows and the rear hatch window. I did develop a very small issue with one of the windows after a couple of months but they were able to fix it at no cost the very next day. Great customer service is what it's all about!! And the car looks amazing. I'm purchasing a new car soon and will definitely be taking it here to get its windows done. They also sell a bunch of other car parts and accessories for modifying and have a couch for waiting around. read more

I had CarPlay installed in Dec and in the process they disconnected my backup camera. When I informed them of what they did they tried to say I didn't have one even though it was factory installed. They then agreed to install it again and would call once they received the part needed. Ive called several times since Dec to follow up because I have not received ONE call from them. One time I called the guy caught an attitude at me as if it was my fault. Terrible customer service. Wouldn't recommend. read more

I took my 2018 BMW M4 to Speedzone to get the windows tinted. They did a phenomenal job (as usual). My M4 is the 3rd vehicle I've trusted Speedzone with--the other two were my previous cars: A 2012 Dodge Charger R/T, and 2012 Ford Mustang GT California Special. Their pricing is totally fair--and their service is quick--it takes about 2-3 hours to tint a car (depending on number of windows). Plus they offer a lifetime guarantee--which means if the tint ever bubbles, peels or fades they'll make it right. During the 5 years I owned my Charger, I never needed to use their guarantee, as their workmanship is top notch. When I bought the BMW, it was a no-brainer for me to decide where to get the windows tinted! Luke not only owns the shop, he's also right there with his team--rolling up his sleeves and working right along side them. He's very customer service oriented, and responsive. Prior to my appointment, I had questions--and used Speedzone's website to reach out and ask. Luke responded right away, and got me the info I needed. The only thing to be aware of is that there really isn't a "waiting area" per se at Speedzone. I recommend asking a friend to bring their car to your appointment--so you can drop off your car and go do something while Luke and his crew tint your car for 2-3 hours. If you're in the greater Olympia/Tacoma area, and you need to tint the windows in your car--go to Speedzone. You'll be happy you did! read more

I've gone to SpeedZone several times in the last 5 years. Mostly for window tinting, but also for stereo installation and a back up camera. ALL of my experiences with them have been fantastic.

I recommend them to all my friends and I will definitely be coming here for any future installations I need. read more

The best and quickest service around! The owner, Luke gave me a quick quote on the phone and I immediately drove up to get him to look at it! Both quotes were more reasonable than all the places I had called and he told me it could be done in about an hour. Came back after work the next day and he had me in and out, under the quoted price in 45 minutes! I could have hugged him it looks so good. I will be coming back for all my car needs. read more

Terrible customer service. Just gave them a call and was not impressed with the individual on the phone. Will never do business here and I'd highly encourage others to take heed!! I hope the individual that was on the phone gets a canoe for Christmas this year. read more

Customer service is always gonna be the weakest part of this place unless they put some estrogen at the front desk. For some reason, them dudes be acting like their nuts are being tugged daily in 5 min intervals with 2 min breaks in between. Being said, if you're sensitive to that kinda stuff, prolly not the spot to go. At the end of the day, this is the only place I go for tint, speaker wire/set up, and alarm set up. If you look pass the sassy lil attitudes, you'll be straight. Superb job on my tint and I recommend this place for people who want their stuff done fast and done right. read more

Very rude and disrespectful waited for a while just to get told by the owner we don't like people like you

Had my 2002 Trans Am tinted here. They left trash left over from the tinting process all over my collector condition Trans Am along with water marks all around every panel they tinted near. I'm sure its not too much of a task to wipe the solution off the panel. I thought that was an implied task for the job. Once you pay the attitude seems to be a little more negative. Its a cheap import shop that tints windows and does poor installs on audio leaving returning customers with install issues from them out to dry. They are all asian their so going by the reviews if your asian or islander you should get superior service.... Save your money and go somewhere else. Plenty of good shops around Tacoma. Break an extra $20 or whatever and get overall better service. They have a rep for damaging customer vehicles as well. Like setting heat gun (from tinting) on leather seat, damaging the leather and saying it was already there. Damaging undercarriage when lifting vehicles....these are just to name a couple people. I work on JBLM and have heard nothing but bad about the place(after I had my windows tinted there unfortunately). I really surprised people havent written more reviews on these jokers. You know if you have night and day reviews such as 5 star to 1 stars like this place with legitimate complaints thats a red flag. The 5 star reviews must of went on a "good day" Also for the guy complaining about best buy techs messing up installs.... I've had 2 remote start installs and audio upgrades there. There was a minor issue with one of the remote start installs regarding the heat upon use. They fixed it in a few minutes. The difference is that small sketchy shops will tell you to kick rocks. Best Buy will make sure your a satisfied customer. Oh and I noticed Luke the owners rebuttal to a comment. I wouldnt put it past them....I've met alot of bold faced liars. What would you respond with if alot of your customers thought your shop was trash. I'm not gonna lie, it looks kinda cool on the outside of the building. As soon as your step inside you get the flea market feel and seems like you just walked into a dollar store. If you ever drive by their shop you will notice alot of people driving barely modded 4 cylinders loitering around. All the cars have a coffee can mod though with painted valve covers. Not to forget all the weight reduction they have done by tearing their interiors out or at least I think thats the line used for owning a car with minimal interior. I just had a car tinted at Cool Window Tinting Lakewood. The price is slightly higher but a little goes along way here. I know alot of military from JBLM getting their cars tinted around Lakewood. Veteran owned and operated too. There are alot of reviews on this place here. http://www.insiderpages.com/b/3723447873/cool-window-tinting-lakewood Well hoped this helped read more

Very happy with the tints I got on my car today. All the employees and the owner himself were very helpful, friendly, courteous, skilled and professional. Would recommend others here for tints. If you need car audio equipment and installation and car alarm and some performance parts, they have that here too. Definitely hardcore enthusiasts of Import cars, culture and Electronic Music. Haha Will visit again! read more

Took a bit to get someone at the front desk, he actually had to catch me as I was leaving to my car. Once we started talking about stereo installations I could tell this guy (Luke) was a good person. He went over just about all my questions and offered a really good price for an install. I was hoping that they carried Kenwood stereos and if they did I probably would have bought it right there and then (and this would be 5 stars instead of 4). They offer Pioneer decks but Im not sold on them yet (Pioneer). I probably will order one on Crutchfield and bring it in for them to install. Ive been to Car Toys as well and I have to say these guys are a breath of fresh air!!! Honesty can not be faked, Ill be back. Thanks read more
