    Best prices for tinting windows. They do a great job and is done the same day. Underrated place.

    Excellent experience from start to finish. Alex was incredibly responsive and always quick to…read morereturn my emails, which made the whole process smooth and easy. I was able to get the luxury tint I wanted at a really reasonable price. The only thing I wasn't prepared for was having enough cash on hand to give my tech the tip he truly deserved... so he ended up getting whatever was in my wallet. Grateful for the great service and aloha throughout the experience

    Exceptional Service, Every Single Time…read more I've honestly lost count of how many vehicles I've had done at One of One -- and that alone should tell you everything. Just had my Model X fully PPF'd and tinted, and once again, the results are absolutely flawless. What truly sets them apart (beyond the incredible workmanship) is their customer service. They greet you by name the moment you walk in -- and that kind of personal touch is rare these days. Dawn, Alex, and Andrea are warm, professional, and incredibly detail-oriented, and the install team in the back is simply next level. You can tell everyone here genuinely takes pride in their craft. The PPF application is surgically clean -- edges are perfect, panels line up beautifully, and the finish looks factory (if not better). The tint completely transforms the car, both aesthetically and functionally. Heat rejection is noticeable immediately, and the overall look is sleek, aggressive, and refined. What really separates One of One from everyone else is that they don't just install film -- they deliver craftsmanship. They use top-tier materials, but more importantly, they take the time to do things right. No shortcuts. No rushed jobs. Just precision. Pricing is more than fair for the quality of work you're getting. In vehicle protection, the real value isn't just the product -- it's the people installing it. If you care about your car and want it done properly the first time, this is the place. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

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. If you're looking for a detail-oriented shop that does things the right way, this is the place you are looking for. I don't have a good picture so I had a little bit of fun with an image generator..

    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.

    Had a great experience with TintTeck Window Tinting. Alex is the real deal…read more I took my brand-new 2026 Tesla Model Y in and was honestly pretty picky about who I trusted with it. Alex took the time to explain everything, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt good about every step before anything was done. Nothing felt rushed or pushy at all. What really stood out was how open and transparent he was. He even showed me the process while the work was being done, which made me feel 100% confident the car was in good hands. You can tell he genuinely cares about doing quality work and doing it right. The tint came out flawless and completely changed the look of the car in the best way. Super clean, professional, super detail oriented, and exactly what I was hoping for. The service was really well priced and outbid all of the competitors in the area. If you're thinking about getting your windows tinted, you won't go wrong with Alex and team at TintTeck. He's a small business owner who takes a lot of pride in his work, and it shows. I'd absolutely come back and recommend him without hesitation. 12/10. Thank you again for everything, Alex!!

    Alex did a great job on our new CR-V, we highly recommend him for your tinting needs…read more Alex got me in and out in about one hour, he was upfront and honest and did exactly what he said he would do, super stoked on how the front windows turned out, he matched the rear doors as close as he could.

I headed straight over, and his team had my ProMaster delivery van finished in under an hour. What really makes this place stand out is the personal touch. Alvin has over 40 years of experience and is a true master of his craft. He is a great conversationalist and clearly loves what he does. He never rushed me off the phone and stayed on to answer every single question I had, plus he gave me extra details I wouldn't have even thought to ask about. On top of the great service, I was very happy with the price. It actually came in slightly less than what I was quoted at other shops. His crew, Gabe and Gene, are also at the top of their game. They are professional, knowledgeable, and work with incredible efficiency. It is rare to find a business that treats window tinting as a passion rather than just a job. If you want a shop that treats you like a human being instead of just another invoice, go see Alvin. I am glad I made the switch.

Paint correction, detailing, ceramic coat and even installation of my dashcam cabling within the trim (previously the wire just swung around in my line of sight). Another incredible experience.
