    Eastro Z.

    I recently had my 2023 Tesla Model Y Performance completely wrapped and tinted by TintMax in Great Neck. They had my vehicle for 8 days to complete this task. I paid additional for the Expel Ultimate Fusion wrap which includes a ceramic coating. They also ceramic coated the wheels and my license pates. I dealt with Patrick who was professional and patient at all times. He walked me through all the different options and helped me make up my mind on the final package. When they started working on the vehicle, Patrick sent pictures to keep me updated. What was appreciated, he also found a few flaws that came from the factory which permitted me to schedule a trip to the service center ahead of time. The car came out amazing. They delivered it clean and even vacuumed the inside for me. Fernando was very helpful when I picked up the car and helped me install a custom license plate holder for the front of my vehicle. You can't even tell that the car is wrapped. After I picked up the car, Patrick called and checked in with me. He had left early due to being sick that day. Nevertheless, he took time to give me a few tips on how to care for the wrap. The only negative for me is the growing trend of small businesses who up charge for using a debit card or credit card. My up charge was almost 4 %. That adds up when you consider how much these services cost.

    Nowhere does it say the GN location costs extra.

    Not sure how much better of a job this place did than any other place I've ever tinted my car. Online ceramic tints were advertised for 150, I left a $25, deposit and was then charged $150. For a total of 175 + tax + 4%CC fee. I called up to ask question why I was charged extra and was told the Great Neck location charges $25 extra (15% more) for no reason. While this is down the block, I'll be taking my other car elsewhere- hate feeling taken advantage of. Would've appreciated a simple "Hey no problem, we didnt make you aware, no problem refund you $25".

    Ceramic tints.

    Went to the great neck spot and Dealt with Patrick who was more then helpful and spent time explaining what tint was better for me. The car came out amazing and the price was fair, considering I went with ceramic and they did a phenomenal job. He saved me $ by telling me not to tint the back windows because they are already 15% and the car just looks great, very happy with it. Definitely going to send people their way. Go see Patrick at Tintmax!

    Excellent customer service. Decent rates . They use good quality 3M window tints. Didn't have to wait even a minute to get my car into the shop. ( need to have a appt). The tint job they did on my dodge charger gt was outstanding and very professional. Thanks guys will definitely recommend !

    A picture of the "smudge" under the tint (you can see it against the contrast of the car in front). There are about three other spots.

    I brought my car to Tintmax because I heard this place is the best around. Based on their workmanship, photos, and anecdotal reviews, I assumed that it was top notch. My experience has been so-so. I've had a few services done at Tintmax on my Tesla Model 3: - Matte black center console wrap (interior) - Front and rear windshield and all windows tinted to 70% 3M Crystalline And I was also considering: - Chrome delete - Full PPF But I changed my mind after the OK job I received on the tint work. The tint on the four door windows were fine. But the ones to the front and back windshields killed me inside for a month until I got over it. First, Steve and the other technician didn't lay down any microfiber cloth or soak shields to prevent water damage to the computer unit that sits under the windshield. There are horror stories of other people's Model 3s that got ruined because of water damage from tinting. Even some Tesla stores tell their new buyers to not tint for this reason. Anyway, my Model 3 did not suffer any electrical damage, thank goodness, BUT the soapy water left horrible streaks under the brake light and VIN window. Steve said it's just "condensation" and would go away but it never did. I ended up sticking a small microfiber cloth down the brake light with a ruler to buff it out. Aside from this, the biggest killer for me is the fact that the tints are all smudged around the edges. See the attached photo. There's about 3-4 marks about 3-4" in diameter each, and they look hazy. Initially, I actually thought it was an oil smudge, so I tried to buff it out--that didn't work. Then I thought maybe it was condensation from the windshield AC--nope. So that's about when I realized that the haziness is from a botched job--someone's hand had touched the tint right before it was applied. I contacted Steve, the owner, about the issue and he acknowledged the mistake by scheduling me an appointment to come back TWO WEEKS later to get it fixed. I was so upset at the time and just wanted to get this issue fixed, so I called around other tint shops and got a second, third opinions. Ultimately, after two weeks and my appointment came up, I decided to just own it and roll with it. Re-doing the tints again just didn't seem worth it. Tintmax was also not very accommodating to fitting me in to get it fixed ASAP especially when this was a problem they created. Overall, come here, they're good people who care. Just be on the lookout for potential issues.

    Hi Steve. I have a Panamera Turbo that PCNA is replacing the leather dash under warranty due to sun damage. Do you have a ceramic tint product that will prevent this from occuring in the future? Thank you!

    Hi Michael, sure a ceramic window tint would help protect your leather interior from harmful UV rays.. We carry all shades of ceramic films at all our shops. You can book online or call in for an appointment..5168297336.

    Idea First Motorsport is the epitome of courtesy, professionalism and most of all "Impeccable…read moreworkmanship" with very competitive pricing. I gave a 5-star review few years back when they detailed and tined my E92 M3 but today had a Mini Cooper F56 ceramic tinted; let's just say I couldn't be ecstatic with the result. Mike(owner) and Jimmy(GM) both explained to me the detail differences between type of tints and also took the time to compare each tint % on my Mini until I was completely satisfied with how would look before final installation. I walked in when first opened to ask about their tint summer special and they were able to get me in right away since I'm not local and they both understood the hassle for me back and forth. 1.5hrs later, my car is complete night and day with 35% driver and passenger while the remaining rear received 20%. THE JOB WAS PERFORMED TO PERFECTION. This is a pro shop that has been established in New Hyde Park for 15 years and I can wholeheartedly recommend this to all. IFM is more than capable of all your auto upgrade needs. don't be fooled by other pop-up shops with promise of faster service and cheaper rates.

He gave his best price and explained the process to me in detail; he even took before and after pictures! I have already consulted with him about other projects I was considering and even referred him friends who have admired the completed work. Very Pleased!

House for a ceramic coating and honestly regret it…read more I live around the corner and constantly see high-end cars in and out of their shop, which gave me confidence in their work--but this particular job was clearly rushed and poorly executed. The work was sloppy. Areas like the rear diffuser and behind the license plate weren't even properly washed, which is unacceptable for a service that's supposed to include clay bar and paint correction. Corners were obviously cut. Basic detailing was ignored--the trunk wasn't opened or cleaned, and the inside of the rear window was left dirty. This is detailing 101. The workmanship feels careless and lacks pride. As someone who knows cars, I can confidently say this was a poor job. If you work hard for your money, don't spend it here.

    If you value your vehicle, please don't bring it here. I've had three different cars worked on…read morehere, two of which have come back upwards of 10 times in the past three months. One of which was brand new off the dealer lot. Head-unit screens turning on and off, sound cutting in and out, incessant hissing, broken and damaged interior pieces, bent door clips, uninsulated wires left touching bare metal. You name an issue they caused it. This shop to put it politely has an elementary school level understanding of physics, the concept of Ohm's law is lost on the two individuals who work here. I will not claim to be an expert on these topics but the people who are working on the complicated the electrical systems of modern vehicles should be and I'm telling you these guys aren't it. For example, everybody from DIYer to professional mechanic knows you should remove the NEGATIVE battery terminal first before performing electrical work to avoid damage to the sensitive computer controlled electronics in a vehicle. These lovely gentlemen A. Don't do that and B. If they do disconnect your battery out of necessity to install an amplifier, they remove the positive terminal only, risking short circuiting your entire vehicle. The amount of uninsulated connections was appalling, wires with no insulation left dangling just asking to touch bare metal and potentially damage the vehicle. On an amusing note, their use of car audio jargon is just a poor attempt to confuse and mislead you in to buying more upgrades or services from them. Don't fall for it, they don't know what half the words that come out of their mouth mean. The owner referred to the amplifier turning on and off causing the sound to cut as clipping when that's simply not what clipping is. There are countless examples of this nonsense that I've observed over the past three months, please don't fall for it like I did, save your money go else where, or hey use it an excuse to learn a new skill. An amateur can do a better job than these guys. They'll upsell you or deny every issue they cause: Hissing? At first "oh that's normal" and then "oh you need a new head unit" Steering controls not working? a new module Amplifier turning off randomly? You need a new amp and wiring Broken plastic? "It happens your just obsessive" The funniest proposed solution has to have been using an official apple charging cable as if that was going to solve the kindergartener level internal wiring job done to my poor cars. I'm sure the owner will reply to this with the a high school flunky level to attempt to discredit my character and claims but I welcome it, I've included pictures of some not all of the disastrous things they did to my car. You can judge for yourself who's right. I'm normally understanding when it comes to professional work not turning out the way it should as I realize it can be complicated but this is over the line. I'm waiting patiently for the "well you had these issues with one car before us", a boldfaced lie, my head unit rebooted once or twice in the year I've owned it before bring it to this place and the other car was brand new with less than 500 miles on it. In our final interaction, he told me I was obsessing over small details and kicked me out of the shop saying "your done" like I was a child he was reprimanding. I don't think wanting your sound system to work 100% of the time and not wanting your interior damaged with super glue, adhesive, wire strands and broken plastic is obsessive and I think most people would agree. Learn from my mistakes, and spend your money elsewhere.

Looking on the web, I found these guys and gave them a call. From the moment I spoke with Adam, I knew I had made the right decision. He was polite, professional, and spoke in that way where you know he was listening to what you needed. On the phone, he quoted me a fair price for the install. By fair, I mean a price that is balanced between making sure you aren't being ripped off, but also a price that reflects the quality of the work you expect to have. Plot twist: this Pioneer unit was to replace a seriously-aged Kenwood aftermarket unit in my car that was installed by my vehicle's previous owner. To my surprise, Adam accommodated me for a same-day installation. Your mileage will always vary. I must have called at a good time. I had a consultation with Adam when I arrived. He asked me some questions about my vehicle, and the Pioneer unit I purchased. He was satisfied to know I had done my research and bought the right cables and wiring. He even saved me some money with a cable or two that I ultimately didn't need! Through my observations, it was clear that Adam and his installer have a great partnership. It took them about 2-3 hours for the installation, which I thought was fair. I didn't mind any added time because they accommodated me on the same day, and I felt that any time needed was fine as long as the work was quality. When it was time to pick up my vehicle, Adam took me on a small tour of the unit. He knows his stuff! He watched as I set up wireless CarPlay, chose a good radio station or two, and let me sit in my car and fiddle with the new controls until I felt totally satisfied with the job. I would highly recommend this team, for their fair prices, attention to detail, quality work, and high-quality customer interaction. Kudos!
