The Man Behind The Tint

(4 reviews)

Tintify I've been on…read morea mission to find the perfect place in Columbus to get my windows tinted. As someone who's extremely particular about their vehicle, I was determined to do my due diligence. After a days of scouring reviews, I narrowed down my options to a top five list. Tintify stood out to me for many reasons. 1. A flawless review record - not one single bad review. 2. Armando and his daughter Amaya are a family duo, and I love supporting small businesses with a personal touch. 3. Armando took the time to answer all my questions, and I had a lot. 4. Johnson window films are a reputable brand, and I was impressed by their brand quality after doing my research. 5. He doesn't remove door panels, which was a huge plus for me. I opted for the Johnson IR supreme window tint film, 45% around except for the front window, which was 70%. I wanted a super ceramic tint that would provide excellent heat retention without being too dark. And let me tell you, the front windshield tint was a game-changer - it's an absolute must-have for resisting heat. I will say that after driving all the way out to Marysville, my front window was a lot bigger than Armando anticipated. So he had to order a bigger roll, and I appreciated his honesty and willingness to make it right. He even came out to my house to finish the job - talk about dedication. After a couple of days, I rolled my windows down, and the cut lines looked like they were laser-cut by a machine. At first, the windows seemed a little darker than I expected, but after a couple of days, they lightened up beautifully. Armando had mentioned that the tint might be a little hazy at first, but it looked so clean and clear from day one. I'm blown away by his professionalism, attention to detail, and the pride he takes in his craft. If you're looking for someone to tint your windows, look no further than Armando and Amaya. They're the real deal, and I'm so grateful to have found them. I'm a lifetime customer now, and I couldn't be happier with the care and process of having my windows done. So I also like to point out that a window tinter is much much different than a window tint installer which just has a machine print out a sheet and slap it over your window. A window tinter, contours the window tint and will shape it over vehicles glass / window.

We were so impressed with his promptness, knowledge, cost and workmanship. He was so pleasant to deal with, as well and stands behind his work with a lifetime guarantee. He truly wanted to make sure we were happy with all aspects of the job. He was willing to spend a lot of time with us to choose the right tinting for each type of window and even made sure the sunroof was exactly the darkness I was looking for. I was not able to use the sunroof before because of the heat. Now I have the cover slid back all the time and I'm not bothered by the heat or sunlight. We would use Armando and Tintify again in a heartbeat! Thank you for making our car look fabulous!

Made a note I was willing to pay extra. I thought being in the actual store with this request, they took a note, but when I came to pick up the car, the decal was not installed - it was sitting in my car right where I left it. Didn't pay for it but would like to have had the item installed.

I said you did he said no we didn't...he then tried to say my aftermarket led headlights was an issue.... bottom line is they tied the radio the starter into the parking lights and he denied any responsibility and won't fix it .... cooked wires so now my blower motor stays on even with the key out ..... so pay a huge amount of money to have the wiring fixed or scrap the vehicle
