Like half of the people here that have left reviews; I also am outraged at the final price I had to pay for this automatic starter. I purchased a Groupon I saw come through for this place offering a remote starter installed for $139. Once purchased, I called the place to set up an appointment; the lady whom I spoke with on the phone confirmed my appointment which was a month after purchase of the Groupon and made no mention that I needed to pay an EXTRA $150 for bypass module and remote control starter. Anyway, I show up on the date of the appointment and she informs me it is in the fine print that "Extra fee for cars that require a bypass module; module may be required depending on make, model, and year. Extra fee for hybrid models, BMWs, Mercedes, Land Rovers, Volkswagens, and Jaguars. Extra fee for vehicles with push to start or manual transmissions. Extra $40 fee for keyless entry". At that point I realized immediately this was a total rip off and wanted to be reimbursed for the Groupon. However, per Groupon policy, all refunds are to be within 14 days of purchase which clearly by that point I was shit out of luck. I was stuck with this Groupon and ended up making the decision to go ahead and pay the extra $150 bucks. So in Total: according to tint world, $100 for bypass module; $40 for remote keyless entry and $150 (tax included) for the Groupon. When I got home I did some research and the most expensive by-pass module I could find was for $80 at autozone. See link http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Bulldog-Security-Remote-starter-with-integrated-bypass-module/_/N-26qr?itemIdentifier=417767_0_0_ Then I went around bigger stores and for example at Best Buy they are even less. Some are range in price between $30-$70. After reading the rest of the reviews on here, I am led to believe this Tint World shop is nothing more than a scam. Please if you read this think twice about doing business with this shady tint world business. Over priced!!! and straight up SHADY! I wouldn't be surprised if the descent reviews on here are the owner's buddies trying to provide this place with a false image. When you purchase a GROUPON your suppode to be getting a DEAL, not OVERPAY for average at best services!!! read more

TINT WORD WOW! This place is awsome! Heres the story, I was calling around to find a place to tint my car before a long trip to CA. I was looking for a place that computer cut the film and had good reviews. Many of the places I called still used the old way of cutting film on the window, I did not want that because in the past my cars weather strips were damaged hand cutting the film on the car. I came acroos Tint World but I was not impressed by two of the reviews, so I continued to look. After I was unable to find a place that computer cut, I did a little more research on Tint World and found there Facebook page which was very impressive I also found great reviews on Google, this convinced me to call Tint World. A young lady answered the phone and explained to me they computer cut there film and they used a carbon based film. At this point I was really not interested in a sales pitch I just wanted to get my windows tinted before the trip, so I interupted her and just asked her could she get me in today, she said sure. I arrived at Tint World and was shocked to see how many other things they did becides tint. (Stereo's, Alarms, Details, anything custom!) I was told it would take 1:30-2:00 hours to complete the job, so I decided to wait. I was offered an Ipad to surf the net while I waited. The job was completed within the given timeframe and I was off to CA. One of the reasons I am writing this review is because I have never experienced a window film perform so well under the intense sun of arazona. During my drive to CA, once I hit the hot states I did notice the difference between the tint Tint World used and tints I had on my cars in the past. TINT WORLD what a place! I would like to give a special thanks to Mike and his top notch staff. See you guys when i get back! I AM SO GLAD I CAME HERE! read more

Tint World is the only place in the state of Illinois that I feel has phenomenal service and does a superb job. If you are not at any way satisfied they ALWAYS make it right. Whether you want to get tints or car detailing , stereos / audio , alarms etc, they have industry leading professionals and products that combine the best possible outcome. If you're nervous about doing tints for the first time and can't even know where to choose, I recommend this place be your one and only stop. Dealerships solely outsource to this facility. They're trusted with premium brand new cars; they do a stellar job on a consistent basis. I literally went in there with dozens of vehicles over the years, vehicles from friends and family, and they do not disappoint. In one particular situation, over a year of getting my tints done , I had my tint film damaged and scratched at a car wash in the city. The first thing I did was talk to the car wash and they didn't take responsibility. I called tint world and they were extremely caring and understanding and decided to literally redo the tint and put brand new film on there 100% FREE of charge on my Infiniti G35 Coupe. I couldn't believe the level of professionalism and overall concern for their customers. The Manager Mike and his staff treats you like a close family member. I am still stunned at how amazing their customer service is. Don't make the mistake of thinking twice of going to another place, their prices are more than reasonable for the market, their tint film is Guarenteed for life and their customer service is second to none. Stop by here first and foremost. read more

I am not at all the type of person that writes reviews of places nor am I computer literate. I had to have my daughter set this up for me so that I could comment on this remarkable shop and defend their reputation, as I have notice several people posting what seems to be lies or exaggerations of the truth. Being a 57 year old woman I have come to realize that you can not make everybody happy, but this shop truly goes above and beyond! This shop has installed two remote starts for me, tinted my windows and detailed my car several times. I have had the opportunity to set in their beautiful show room several times during my services and listen to that ladies answer the phones. It seems that during this winter season they are very busy with remote starts. Their phones seem to ring every minute and sometime multiple times within that minute, but each call is answered with the same concern and care. After listening to some many of their calls I could probably sell remote starts. Every customer I heard them speak to was explained the details of their remote start installation, the parts and any additional cost needed. No body wants to pay extra fees, but some times they are necessary. I think it is down right dirty to lie on businesses just because you are not happy with the cost of a product. In addition I was just there yesterday and based on the calls I heard they are book until the middle of Feb. 2015 not several months out as some have posted. Keep doing the excellent job you are doing Tint World Bensenville and don't let haters get to you. SEE YOU GUYS SOON FOR ANOTHER DETAIL! read more

Let's See where do I start?... When it comes to getting any kind of work performed on anything that I own, I always do some research to see what I'm possibility getting into first. I researched the shop, read the reviews (Bad & Good) and decided to give them a try. When I first walked into the shop... Presentation - The establishment is very clean and presentable for an automotive shop. There's a nice seating area, a T.V. (Cable), a water dispenser, a coffee maker and a bowl of candy. Not to mention the bathroom looks like very nice...like something that you would see on an episode on HGTV. People - The employees are both very professional and knowledgeable but, at the same time are also very relatable. Walking into the shop for the first time, I had a lot of ideas on how I wanted to have my car upgraded. After speaking with Mike (Shop Owner/Manager), Johnathon (Detail Manager) & Mike (Car Audio Installer), and picking their brains, I confirmed everything that I wanted to get done and began the process. The Work - So far, (without getting into too much detail), I've had my sound system upgraded (replaced the subwoofer Amp and rear deck speakers/tweeters and added an additional battery) and my rear tint upgraded. I've also had it detailed (removed the scratched & brightened the paint) and washed on a regular. So far, all of the work that has been performed on my car has been very clean and has left me very pleased with the results. So much so that, I'm going back to get some more upgrades and another wash very soon. read more

First tint job ever! I wanted to go super dark to have more privacy. The owner Mike Mayo very clearly explained the tint laws to me and what my legal options were on my vehicle. After speaking with Mike I decided to keep it legal. He also explained options for my large section of dot matrix that is on my back window. I stop by another tint shop before coming to Tint World and the issue with dot matrix was never explained. Mike made me feel comfortable and as though I was dealing with someone that was very knowledgeable about their product. I decided to go with their ultimate tint package and I also went with the dot matrix film to go on my back window. The job was done in the time promised. The only initial issue I had with the tint was some water residue in the tint after the installation. Mike was aware this was my first tint job so he was right there when the car pulled out to explain the drying period of about a week. Now two weeks later I am writing this review and a very happy customer. All of the water residue dried up in 3 days. Mike was a great guide through this whole process. I highly recommend this place for their many services. I will be coming back for remote start and detail. Mike is complete package when it comes to customer service. From my first call to my appointment and the completion of my services, Mike surpass my customer service exception! read more

I had one of "many" living social deals and have to say this place was great knowing I purchased a living social deal you have to expect if you've ever purchase something like that before when you call your going to have to wait so I didn't complain my appointment was as far out as the end of February ! but hey I got a deal worth waiting for .needless to say I received 5 star service I was 100% fully accommodated I was on a list to move up for canceled appts and I got in this week !!! I was excited to get the call that I'd be able to go within hours of there call after jumbling a way to get my car there they still did the job even tho my car came a lil late then the time they had open and they still took it I DID MY RESEARCH UNLIKE SOME because I have a Lexus and would of figured after READING the small print for vehicles that may need a bypass module I'd prob need one but for "parts" and labor it's still a deal the staff was very nice and knew what they are talking about I had genuine concerns about a few things on my car but no feeling that I was getting a up sale concern I'm very happy with my choice and will tell others the spot to go for not just remote starters keep up the good business guys thanks !!! read more

I had my truck tinted here a couple of weeks ago and all I can say is WOW! The customer service here is outstanding and the quality of work is superior. Their prices are very good and their quality of work is excellent. I have been tinting my vehicles for years and this is the first place that really took me through the experience of what quality film is. They have four different types of film, the real cheap one that everybody else carries and this real top notch stuff made by Sun Tech that never turns purple or fades, "of course I got the top notch stuff." I drove 30 + miles to get here and it was well worth it! I am coming back for remote start and some audio work very soon. Ladies if you are looking for a quality place to have work done to your vehicle and not feel embarrassed or intimidated by your lack of knowledge about a product or service this is the place to come. Building look- Excellent Customer service- Excellent Knowledge of product by staff- Excellent Quality of products- Excellent Waiting time for service- Excellent (Wait time was right on target) TINT WORLD BENSENVILLE, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! I WILL SEE YOU GUYS AND GALS SOON! read more

Here we go again. Art stop with the bs. Your are a scammer and a con artist. You even ripped of a another tint world store . And im still wondering why a tint shop needs a non disclosure agreement with its employees. They are not holding nuclear secrets. They are not making their own product. All there stuff comes from the same vendors as ever other shop. Oh I get it it's so when they rip peole off or someone has something bad to say they can stop it or sue them . But it was something good they let you talk about it. And they might say me posting is conflict of interest. Well lol up the meaning of conflict of interest. Art had his 20 year old son be acting store manager. The biggest conflict of interest there can. It's family holding g a position of power in the company. And why he is the guys son. We vsn play these games. I'll keep posting till they block me. Themill find a new ip address. You will have to get a court order to stop it. And I will love to tell the judge what was going on and the money you took from me. And the other people you try to con. You just always look for the next sucker. read more

To say it simple, it was such a RIP-OFF. I purchased a voucher for remote starter installation from Living Social for $149, I was so excited to get it installed for a good deal. However, when I set up an appointment and told them my car model, they told me that I need extra $100 for bypass module plus $40 for 2 new remotes!!! They said the extra charge was mentioned in fine prints... well, only if I knew almost all car models with keyless entry (which is like pretty much all cars after 2003) need the bypass module, I would have NEVER bought it. It might have been my bad having zero knowledge about auto and stuff, but it is just so spiteful not putting the price including the extra charge, knowing the charge applies most of the cases. And when I realized it was not even a good deal, I was too late to claim the refund. So my choice was either waste $149 and get nothing done or pay another $140 for the installation. I did not want to waste my $149 so I had to pay total of $290. I was very mad. DO NOT BUY THEIR VOUCHER FROM LIVING SOCIAL/GROUPON! read more

I was debating on getting a Groupon, but ended up researching all businesses in the area, asking questions & looking at reviews. I was impressed with Tint World & decided to go there. When I arrived for my appointment, the manager, J.D. answered all my questions. They originally gave me a 4.5 hour window. But they had me out in just under 2 hrs. I am very impressed with the knowledge & customer service. I saw J.D. assist on the phone & in person. I also saw him deal with a irrate customer that was upset that he couldn't get his windows Untinted & ReTinted in 2 hours (the store closed in 2 hours). I couldn't believe how upset this person was when he didn't think it was important or necessary to mention that he needed tint Removed from his windows when he originally made the appointment. I know nothing about tint, but I do know that adds hours & cost. Anyway, sorry about that rant. J.D. Was awesome, the shop was awesome, I was in and out and I absolutely LOVE my remote starter! Great shop! read more

I've been to a lot of shops, but this one by far is the best. From the moment I walked in I was impressed, the two ladies in front, warmly greeted me and offered me coffee . We then began going over Remote Start and Tint options for my vehicle. I had no idea there were that many options out there for Tint and Remote Starts. The ladies very clearly went over my options and we decided on the ultimate film and a two-way slice Junior Remote Start . The next process involved me walking around my vehicle with the owner Mike and Bill the installer . These two gentlemen made me feel very comfortable with the installation that was going to be done to my vehicle and informed me of some issues my vehicle had that I was not aware of . Overall, I am highly impressed with their customer service and expert craftsmanship. I will be returning for many more services in the future great job Tint World. read more

I had my windows tinted on my Lexus truck at Tint World Bensenville a few weeks ago. I wanted to wait a while before writing this review to make sure everything was good with the tint. The tint turned out awesome, carbon tint does really make a difference! This place is truly the coolest tint shop I have ever seen. They really go over board to make you feel comfortable. As a woman, I was really impressed by the girls that work in front who are very knowledgeable about the products and services they offer, this is something that is hard to find in a man dominate automotive field. I was really amazed by the wide variety of services they provide (tint, audio, details and much more) I will be coming back very soon to have my audio system hooked up by "Big Nick" and my truck detail by "Detail Jesus". Love Guys See You SOON! read more

I just bought my wife a 2013 Nissan Altima. After searching for a place in Chicago where I could get windows tinted. I found Tint World on the internet. Not only do they specialize in window tinting, they also offer car audio & video, mobile electronics, wheels & tires, car detailing, car alarms & security systems, and so much more. I was so impressed that I had to drive 34 miles one way to visit. The time I arrived they started with the process which took around 2hrs to complete. The managers and employees were very professional and well knowledgeable about the product. I appreciate most of all, the fact that they instructed me of the law and what is best for my vehicle and not trying to make a sell. I give this place five (5) thumbs up and I felt like a kid in a candy store. read more

I recently bought a car that came with an aftermarket alarm, but no remote. It was never really an issue until recently when I replaced the car battery the alarm wouldn't shut off, or let me start the car. I decided to give tint world a call. I was going to have a tow truck take my car there, so they could disable and replace the alarm. Nick from tint world told me they could do it, but would probably charge $30 to disable the alarm. He told me how to do it myself, and it worked!! My car finally started, and thanks to Nick's advice he saved me money on a tow truck. Whenever I need any work done on my cars they will for sure get my business. Just shows extraordinary customer service, and they're not some shady business just trying to get any dollar they can out of you. read more

Sounds like all three previous reviewers all work at Umbra.... Hmmmm looks like sleazy advertising to me. I've been to Tint World and they are very professional they took care of my son and treated him with respect. My son is 17 and just bought his first car. He wanted to have it tinted and is saving for a new radio and speakers. The owner Mike walked my son through all of his options based on what my son wanted. He never tried to take advantage of my son due to his age and obvious excitement with all the "boy toys" they had in the shop. I was so impressed with how my son and I were treated that I made an appointment to have my car detailed the following week and they did a great job again. I highly recommend this place. read more

Thanks to Groupon I'm very glad and happy I found this place. I was shopping around for a car started for my 08 Odyssey and most places charged much more so I decided to give a shot. From scheduling an appointment to picking up my vehicle I was very happy with the customer service. Even with the bypass module that my vehicle required the price is still great! I had the option to leave the vehicle overnight and pick up in the morning which worked out great for me. When picking up I had the car pulled up and had Mike show and explain how the car starter works. Overall very great professional customer service. Definitely will recommend to family and friends and will be back for my own needs. Thank You Tint World!!! read more

Great place to have your windows tinted. I have had two of my cars tinted here and I have sent a few of my friends. The jobs are flaws and reasonalble in price. This is the first time I have ever been to a tint shop where they actually educate you on the film that would be best for you car. The sales person was really tryiing to sell me on their Ultimate Carbon film, which i thought was a big sales pitch, until he had me call a couple of tint shops and ask them for carbon based film. The first tint shop had no clue what I was talking about and the other wanted me to pay $300.00 which was a lot more than Tint World was asking. This shop is top flight. They get 5 stars from me. read more

I went to this place last weekend after reading some of the reviews that were posted online. All I can say is WOW! I got my tints done and an alarm system installed. Everything came out perfect. I am so satisfied and impressed. I am not the typical woman, I am really into my car and only like the finer things. These people really know their stuff. Every question I asked they had a solution for me. Even the women were well informed and their products and services. This is not the case at several other shops, I have gone to. I had a chance to talk to one of the installers and now I am coming back for a custom audio system. Veyy impressed, I have found my new one stop shop. read more
