I had my windows tinted 9 times now with Shield X (different vehicles) over the past years. The…read morelast time prior to this recent experience was earlier this year in January to have my brand new vehicle tinted. I wouldn't go anywhere else with my new vehicle. I have a panoramic roof, and I decided not to have it tinted at the time since I had the manufacturer's tint (which really isn't much, it's just colored film rather than tint). The car also has an automated blind cover that I rarely open due to the UV rays/heat exposure. The rest of my windows were tinted with their ceramic tint, so the cabin is relatively cool. However, since my panoramic roof wasn't tinted, and it is now summer, cabin gets so hot and the back seat passengers usually feel the heat during the drive. SO, I came by to have my panoramic roof tinted with 5% ceramic tint (darkest). They get so busy during the summer time, and they were so accommodating to fit me in, and had the work done in a reasonable time, same day. Competitive pricing too! I love that I have this tinted now as I don't feet the heat, and cabin feels nice and cool! Love it! Love their work, as it is of good quality. Service is also great too- friendly, informative, and efficient. Other vendors were quoting double the price of what Shield X asks for too. Highly recommend!

Updated Review Per…read morethe shop's recommendation, I took my vehicle to Tesla for a full inspection of the windshield. After evaluating it, Tesla confirmed that the lines in the glass were caused by external forces -- most likely excessive heat -- and not by any manufacturing defect. They were very clear that there is no scenario where the vehicle would have left the factory with this type of damage. Because of that, the replacement was not covered under warranty, and I had to pay $1,535 out of pocket. Here's what this experience has cost me: * $300 for the original tint * $150 for tint removal -- which I was never informed would be charged, and they only told me I "owed money" after removing it * $1,535 for a new windshield due to damage caused during their tint installation That's almost $2,000 lost, and I'm left with no tint, a brand‑new windshield I had to pay for myself, and zero accountability from the shop. To make matters worse, the owner laughed at my wife during the conversation. That alone tells you everything about the level of professionalism you can expect. If you choose to get your tint done here, understand this clearly: If something goes wrong, you will get no support, no responsibility, and possibly even disrespect. What you may get is a bill for the damage they caused.

And shout out to the owner for moving my appointment around based off my crazy day today. Thank you again!!! :))

I had such a great experience with this tint company. I've been extremely busy getting ready for a…read moremove, and they actually came and picked up my car for me, which helped take so much stress off my plate. The owner was incredibly helpful and took the time to explain the different tint levels, what would work best, and what would actually look good on my car instead of just trying to upsell me. You can tell they really care about the quality of their work and customer experience. The tint came out amazing and looks super clean. One of the reasons I chose them was because I kept seeing reviews saying the work lasts and holds up well over time, and honestly, that's what made me trust them in the first place (even ChatGPT pointed me toward them because of their reviews ). Really happy with the experience and would definitely recommend them.

Scheduled for a mobile detail this afternoon due to the Santee fire last night. Amazing service…read more Much appreciated in scheduling me in on short notice! Ryan did a fantastic job! Seriously, the car had never looked better until he gave it the best detail of its life. I completely trust Smith Bros. Ryan is honest. He found an item of value and notified me as to where he placed it. Tires are gleaming. Even the runner area is fresh and clean. Ryan even resolved the numerous smudges on my view screen down to the finest detail. He gave the sedan a Midas touch. Smith Bros even offered to go to Santee! They brought their mobile service to my employer's place of business. Really great customer support that is a rarity these days. Ryan is tops. I am super happy with the care that Ryan took in caring for my car. Smith Bros is ethical. They are safety-conscious, which shows they are the right company for the job. They truly seem to care about their customers and employees. What is most impressive is how they work as a team in a seamless manner. You just won't find quality detailing combined with exceptional customer service anywhere else. The detailer recommends services that meet your needs with no surprises, a hallmark of professionalism at its apex. Due to the skillful knowledge and careful techniques, your vehicle is in great hands with Smith Bros., highly qualified, experienced detailers. Of special note is I had been driving around with dog hair in places I couldn't reach. Ryan even took care of that! Moreover, Ryan detailed areas I requested such as the headliner and trunk. Smith Bros is reputable throughout San Diego County. If you want your vehicle to be professionally and meticulously detailed by high-quality technicians who are enthusiastic about their craft, I highly recommend Smith Bros. The difference is incredible. Everything is amazingly clean. Don't risk entrusting any other company with the care one of your greatest assets. Contact Smith Bros.

I came in as a walk-in customer and was greeted immediately…read more I was looking to get professional understanding of how the tinting works on windshields. Chris explained my choices in detail and was very thorough. He helped me make a clear decision on what's best for my need. He promised the window tint would be done by the end of the day. He also reviewed how to take care of the tint immediately following the service work. He mentioned small bubbles are normal and will disappear the next day. Which they did. I'm really big on seeing vivid colors and I appreciate the quality work he did because now I could see beautiful colors through my windshield. I was also pleasantly surprised with how much heat the tint blocks out of the car. Especially during the summer time. If you're looking for a place to tint your windows at a reasonable price with great customer service, you came to the right place!

Yelp Review by Captain 619 5/5…read more Duuude, Kingdom Tint in Santee is straight-up magic! Rolled in with my Dodge Challenger--y'know, the beast that's smoother than a backside cutback--and these legends didn't just tint, they tightened up my ride like it was preppin' for Pipeline! Ceramic nano tint? Locked it down chillier than dawn patrol mist. Same-day hookup, prices that'll make your wallet smile, and in-and-out faster than a set wave! Warranty? Oh, they're chill like that--no kook energy here. Challenger's sittin' sleek, stealthy, and ready to rip the streets (or the coast highway, brah). If your whip's craving that pro vibe, Kingdom's your jam. Shoutout to the crew--y'all shredded it! Mahalo for keepin' my ride tighter than a nosepress! Catch ya in the lineup... or the fast lane!

Got a free replacement fix, much appreciated. But I had to make time out of my week to go back with an appointment. During my initial visit - A can of window cleaner was left in the back seat, pieces of tint left in my seats, wet driver seat-when returned, streaks down my door panels and windows from the water used -expected but maybe a little wipe down would be nice, since windows can't be rolled down for 3-5 days. Expected a little more attention to detail for such a task/price. If you need tint in a rush with appointments asap, this is your spot but maybe an earlier appointment may have helped vs later in the day with the clean up.

Originally I was on the fence thinking of only basic bumper PPF, but after talking with them for a bit, they managed to address my concern and I ended up going for a full frontal package and a ceramic coating, which includes 10 years of warranty on the PPF. Louie and the team were genuine, meticulous, and transparent every step of the way, even giving me a ride home since I lived close by after dropping off the car. The results were amazing. I didn't find any issues, but they emphasized that if I saw anything then they'll do everything they can to make it right. I'd highly recommend this shop if you want some work done on your car!
