not possible to reach anyone at the business if you need assistance. Plus, not sure of the skill of these guys, anyone with any DIY experience can make cleaner cuts to the tint around the rearview mirror. very sloppy read more

I have a lot of picture windows and unfortunately my dogs destroyed the film on the one by our front door. (They get very excited when I come home, and paw at the window in excitement.) I've used Wow Window Tinting in the past when a turkey flew into one of our 8 foot windows, and it broke, having to be replaced and re-tinted. They did a great job then, so I called again to have this new damaged window re-tinted. Caston and his helper did a great job. Caston was thorough, knowledgeable, friendly, timely, warm and worked carefully and efficiently. I am super picky and they met my high standards. I also learned never to use any cleaner with ammonia on tinted windows, as it damages them. Who knew?! I am very appreciative of the great job they did. Karen Russell, 808-325-1500 read more

These guys are extremely professional and do the best Window Cleaning I've ever have. I will only use this company.

Great work, going to have them come back for a couple other projects. Had them do shower doors, they turned out awesome. Mahalo!!!

Had my car and house windows tinted in April. Ethan said it's life time guarantee. I called him 30 days later and said there are still bubbles on some of the windows. We are in august now And he never kept his promise. I made numerous calls and he kept saying he is short staff. Do not use him! Go find someone else. I'll file a complaint next week with the Department of Consumer Bureau. read more

Amazing service! Ethan and his staff do excellent work, they are friendly and go above and beyond. I would recommend them to all my friends and family. read more

They were very Professional and did a Great Job ! Quick in and Out very Happy They had to remove too Dark tint I had put on in the mainland before we shipped car over it was too Dark to pass Safety Check ! They re tinted it lighter to pass ! Thanks Guys read more

I used Yelp to find these guys. Also a friend had suggested going to them. I just moved back to big island after being in Las Vegas. My two front windows were too dark for hawaii standards so I needed them stripped and redone. Setting up the appointment was quick and easy. They also fit in my bfs Tacoma tint. All around. Pricing is reasonable, nothing outrageous in my opinion. The appointment time wasn't delayed. And they got the job done during the afternoon. Mahalo guys! read more

WOW Tinting Review A. Residential Tinting Technology Comparisons (The Tale of Three Vendor Services) - in the process of soliciting window tinting services, we noted that basically there are only about 4 MAJOR Film Manufacturer Brands used in the 'Residential' Kona Market ... Film made by Eastman-Kodak, 3M, LLUMAR, and Johnson Spectrally-Selective Window Films. Each film type offering a menu of different Applications Grades that offer an array of Energy Savings, Privacy, and UV Light Protection. All offer similar lifetime warranty's. Caveat - To-be-fair, we clearly understand that each builder, or GC, or owner will have a completely DIFFERENT Experience and Perspective's with EACH of these same 3 vendors, as that is just Universal entropy of the Human experience. Note that. B. Demeanor & Presentation of Services - the three vendors all had three different presentation Modes, and Personality's. One was an "old school-type" using a heating lamp to demonstrate his product's effectiveness. Truly it was a bit "cheesy", but the worst part was Not his Flat Affect personality, as that doesn't mean a thing to me as I have one too from my Military days. It was that he was terribly LATE for his appointment, and was Not expected because he never contacted us the Day before and on the day of their Allotted Time Slot. - - - The Second vendor was an independent, nice guy who arrived practically UN-prepared, without a selection of film types. He gave the impression that his market was more in automotive, although in later conversation he listed some residential and commercial projects; but does not have a Website to present his work. - - - Ethan from Wow Windows, as a Millennial vs "old school", is a easy-going, friendly, respectful, patient, Trust-worthy, and Professional-type of owner. He must have made half a dozen trips to our residence without any hint of protest; and his Crew was / is a direct reflection that was demonstrated in perfect harmony. The amusing part of these comparisons, is that we generally Do Not solicit services from Millennial's, per historical context, but This Time, they were more Modern, more Honest and Forward-Thinking in their Solutions Folder. C. Communication skill's with Assigned Grade - This is where it got somewhat "tricky" for the "old school" vendor, as they have 2 different contact numbers on their website, and the owner had a different one on his Biz card. Sent multiple Text Messages to the website Number's only to figure out that they were both Land lines, that no one answered. However, they were quicker in sending a "Pay Now" Invoice Link, even though we were still gathering online details and Information about their Product lines, and wanted to have them return to ask for more Samples. * Grade - C The independent vendor just couldn't get it together, but, was responsive and made an extra effort, compared to the "old school" guy. And would be worth checking out his Automobile tinting as that seems to be his main Biz market. * Grade - B minus Contrast with Wow Windows, who communicated very well using Texting and Email messaging, and Ethan must have made at least 4 separate trips, which was impressive in itself. I noted that their whole process is a lot More Smoother, than every one else. * Grade - A Plus D. The Extra Mile - What was the one thing that made us decide on Wow Windows? Easily ... that would be Outstanding Service, in a manner that clearly Separated them from the Other Guys! Here's how ... when we reached a point in trying to decide between two different types of film, Ethan sent his crew to apply a Test Film portion of two different windows so that we could compare them. No one else had even thought to OFFER this additional service, no matter how busy they were. E. Overall Costs Comparisons (between 3 vendors) - The most competitive was the Independent vendor, And the most expensive, but the most confusing was the estimate the "old school" guy, who didn't inform us upfront during his on-site estimate that they offered 2 different Manufacturer's. This meant that he arbitrarily "Assumed" that we "preferred" their Entry, or, standard film. He was wrong, but I was the one to have to figure this shiat fact, later. My recommendation to the window tinting company's - is For Them to simply state upfront that they offer 2 to 4 different Grade's and Types of film, that are priced accordingly, and then Demonstrate their main differences, including any notable Warranty Detail's. Final Results - Simply Outstanding Overall ! ... And, absolutely Yes, we will not hesitate to use their services again, and/or, to Highly-recommend them to our Family and Friends, to which we are doing right this minute. Note that. read more

WOW Window Tinting - Home Window Tinting Near Me - Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

Their name says it all WOW! Kalani and Cuz hooked me up ... went next door to Precision Auto for a safety inspection (see my review) and they told me that my tint was too dark to pass and they referred me to WOW Window Tinting. Met Kalani and he explained my options and because this is Hawaii and any tinting that might help keep the car cooler (especially since I have black leather upholstery) and protect my interior I didn't want them back to 'factory clear'. Without an appointment, Kalani and Cuz took my car into their shop and promised me that they would have the old tint removed and new tint installed in about 2 hours. Without a ride, we had to wait there -- luckily the waiting area had AC (on full blast). (Jeopardy music ...) An hour later, Kalani comes out from the shop and tells me my car is done ... all I could think of was WOW!! He tells me about the possible 'bubbles' and not to roll the windows down for 24 hours. Mahalos Mucho Kalani and Cuz! Great customer service! read more

Great job on my tint on my truck. Very friendly staff. Fast and very efficient. Great value. 5 stars!!

Awesome experience! Moved my car from the mainland and it failed the safety inspection due to the tint being too dark. Gino (hope I got his name right) was SO helpful. Knew the laws and knew what was best for my car. The entire process from calling to make an appt thru to getting it done, could not have been better. I highly recommend this company! And they are super nice guys as well! Mahalo nui! read more

Great service. Perfect job. Reasonably priced compared to others. Came with only one day notice.

Second car taken here and these are the nicest guys ever. It took about two hours but I just walked to target and Ross and did my errands on foot. Go early so it's not so hot if you're planning on walking read more

Very professional crew running here. Great tint job and great service. I see why they've been in business so long. I'll be back guys! Thanks

My son went to WOW. I was curious to see how they would treat a 16 year old. Other businesses push him out of the way to get to the "real" customers. But he has a job, a car and money. His experience was very good and he felt like they treated him right. He had to go back later because the film didn't stick. They ordered new film and got him right back in. From the first phone call he made till the job was done he was very pleased. I'm switching my business to WOW cuz my son paid 1/2 the price of what I was quoted from the company we (usta) use. My son would write the review but he spends his $ on his car, not on a smartphone, lol. read more

I've taken all of my cars here. Great pricing and awesome customer service. I didn't have a ride so I was going to have to wait in the waiting area for 2 hours. The waiting room is comfortable. With free wifi, A/C and Netflix. They also offered to give me a ride to the Target area and pick me up once the car was completed. My truck looked awesome! They even wiped down the insides of the doors and dash from all water spots. Ethan is super knowledgeable and very friendly. If my tint isn't up to my standards, he fixes it no complaints or questions asked. Where I had to pay another tint shop to fix their mess up. I liked that they honored their warranty. I recommend them to everyone I know. read more

I am sorry I can no longer recommend WOW to my friends and neighbors. Many years ago they tinted all our home windows. To perfection. Recently we added French doors and a bathroom window. Of course we called WOW and unfortunately a bubble formed in one of the windows. No big deal. But after several months and 5 phone calls, I still cannot get anyone to come out and do this 5 minute repair. Ours is a small community, and I dislike having to post this, but I feel something has changed with the company, and not for the food. Ethan was always easy to work with, but after multiple phone calls, I guess our business is no longer appreciated. read more

Awesome tint work they did on our Honda Accord! I would recommend them! Fast and awesome! waiting room where we had our little dog and 2 kids playing which of course they have toys and books they also have chairs and also a tv and can't forget the AC! We'll be back to do our Toyota! read more

We have some west-facing windows that really get hot in the afternoon sun, which, of course, heats up our office and adds to our energy costs. Ethan stopped by and recommended a reflective silver-ish window tints, which he said would be the best option. A short-time later WOW installed the new tint. The install was professionally done and there did a good job making sure they left no mess. We've noticed a significant reduction in the afternoon heat in our office, so we're happy campers and appreciate the work of Ethan and his crew. read more

They did an awesome job on my vehicle. They did a great job explaining the options and I'm really happy with how it came out. Excellent work read more

Best tinting place ever ! Took my 4 runner here for some new tint & I couldn't be more happier with the awesome work that they've done! Mahalo WOW tinting ! read more

I've had my windows in my vehicle tinted twice by these guys. The first time I installed 20% knowing it is illegally dark but not really enforced by police and come safety check time I just took my doors completely off to get a safety check. (jeep) but moving back to the mainland and needed to get them done to 35% so I peeled off the perfectly good old tint and got them re-done again at WOW. The first time they did a good job. Passenger side did have a couple little specs of contamination under the film but no big deal. You never notice if you aren't looking for them. Second time I picked up the vehicle and thought it really looked like hell with little bubble looking things everywhere, I was pretty disappointed at first, I mean I have done better jobs myself in the past but having done my own tint before and I know sometimes that stuff goes away when it cures.. So i left it a couple days and sure enough all the little bubble looking things dried up and went away leaving no imperfections!! Once again the passenger side does have a few spots of contamination- more than last time but no big deal. It is a 12 yr old vehicle I do not expect an absolutely perfect tint job. You are almost certainly going to get some contamination under there unless your window tracks are perfectly clean. Could it be done? Probably. Should it have been better for the price? Maybe.. But I am not complaining. There was a reason I paid them to do it instead of doing it myself because I know how difficult it can be to do a good job as easy as it looks. Overall they did a great job on my vehicle twice. They do seem to move around alot location wise and no real waiting room or anything setup. Price wise, well C-thru quoted me $80 for two windows, WOW was $100 for two windows. A little pricey I think but I needed it done right away and Cthru was booked. If you have ever tried to do your own tint even with precut pieces it can be a real pain in the ass. Just pony up the cash from the get go if you want a professional looking job. read more

If I could give them a no star I would. I had them tint my windows on my BMW the other day and when I gave them the car I had my automatic window shade for my rear windshield up. I get it back from them tinted and my window shade is down and I'm thinking "ok so they had to take the window shade down to tint the window so no big deal." Later that day I push the button to raise the shade and the rear window shade is completely snapped off on one end and the part to fix it is most likely going to cost more than what I paid for the tint job. I take my car back and the owner says there's nothing they can do because there's no way they could have broken it and now I'm SOL and have to pay more for something they broke. I highly recommend going elsewhere for your tinting needs. read more
