Sun Tint

WOW...really did a great job on my 2008 Prius. 1) The shuttle service back to work was ideal. 2) People are REALLY FRIENDLY and took the time to explain all details. 3) Service was done fast, fast, fast ....left car at noon picked up at 4:00pm....cool. -I choose the CARBON tint as it has lifetime guarantee from fading... This made my car not only feel cool inside...but look cool on the outside. ** Same job was priced twice as much at "Mother's".... MOST IMPORTANT---Please pet TUCKER the old golden lab who will undoubtedly greet you at the door, wagging his tail with love in his eyes.

Pros: shuttle service at drop off...or nice lounge to wait in.

Cons: On W. Koenig Lane...which gets some hairy traffic at 5:00pm on weekdays

I took my brand new '08 Scion Tc to Sun Tint and I'm living with the regret now. Soon after leaving the first (of three) appointments I realized that all 5 of my windows (four front, and rear window) had bubbles in each of them, there were some scratches and crimps on the driver side windows and both front windows were cut too short on the sides (so basically there were huge gaps on each side). When I came back for the second appointment I was told by Ronnie that only the front four windows would be redone. When I asked why the back window wasn't replaced I was told that they only replace window tint that has more than 5% of the window with bubbles. So basically the man was telling me that it was too bad for me that there were bubbles on the edges of my back window, as long as it wasn't more than 5% then I had to just deal with it. A couple of days later I noticed bubbles and a scratch on the back driver's side window. This time when I came back the owner (Mr. Haertl himself) was there, on a Saturday morning no less. He rubbed his finger on the window and tried to tell me that the scratch was on the outside of the window, he actually had me rub my finger while saying "Do you feel that". His own employee then told him and myself that it was actually on the inside and not the outside. Lie #1. So then Mr. Haertl told me that it was there before I had the tint put on. He told me there was no way his people scratched the window. He messed up when he told me that they don't put tint on windows that are scratched. So if my brand new window was scratched how come they put on the tint two times before that day. Lie #2. Basically I'm just telling everyone to do a check (with the owner's or employee's) of your windows before they touch them. Because if they scratch them they won't take responsibility for it. If they did they would have to replace the window itself and that would take money out of their pockets.

Pros: None

Cons: Wi-Fi is super slow, All around job was not satisfactory

We are planning a road trip to Atlanta in the summer and knew we needed our car windows tinted for our two year old who would be in the back seat in the hot sun. We knew nothing about tinting windows AT ALL and didnt know where to start. I found Sun Tint here on Citysearch and after reading the reviews , we decided to give em a call. I talked to Denise and explained to her that I needed my windows tinted. I told her I had no idea what I needed:) She then asked me a few questions and recommended the best film for my needs...She was super friendly and knew her stuff:) They didnt try to sell me something I wasnt gonna need or wasnt going to be happy with which is rare now adays! I called later to set an appointment and Ronnie was able to get me in at a time that was going to be best for me...Another "wow..COOL" moment:) I went in and a bit worried since I had my 2 year old daughter and my 7 year old nephew with me...Didnt know how well they would do for the 2 hour time frame they had told me it would take...I had nothing to worry about..I was in at 11 am and my car rolled up, ready for me to drive away in at 11 50 am! WOW These guys are fast but their workmanship is impeccible! Dont think because these guys are fast, they cut corners! They are good at what they do and they have perfected it! I was so impressed with the guys a Sun Tint from the first phone call to the time I drove away,...I have even recommended my mom to them...She lives in Waco but I told her it was worth the drive to get the quality of service you get here! And their prices! Wow...These guys have the best of both worlds...Great prices AND even greater service! You Guys ROCK!

Pros: Customer service is AWESOME

Cons: None at all!

Had front windows on my FJ done last October. While cleaning my Fj I noticed a square blotch on the drivers side window. At first I though it was some surface dust and tried to remove with a microfiber towel. No luck.....returned to Sun Tint, they looked over my problem and half hour later I was out the door with a newly tinted window at no charge! That is excellent service. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get their car windows done.

I bought a brand new car and this shop was the first thing on the list when I googled for "tint shop" in my area. I just walked in, and luckily they were able to tint my car the same day. After 1.5~2 hours of waiting, I received my car back and I loved the work they've done. Then I left thinking i'd never had to come back again. WRONG! after three days or so, I found hundreds of bubbles on the rear windshield, especially on the dot matrix area. Also there were few bubbles on one of the front windows as well. I went back to the shop and complained, and they were happy to redo em for me.(except I had to wait 2+ weeks) They redid the rear windshield with what they called a 'special glue' but eventually it did no better than previous one.I don't know if it's common w/ other cars as well but almost every HONDA 08 ACCORD COUPE has this problem.so if you do happened to have this car, I'd suggest leave the dot matrix area tint-free or cover it with black vinyl. At last, on my 3rd visit, I just told them to cut& pull off the flim above the dot matrix line. It looks little weird but its whole lot better than milky white bubbles. I'll just put black vinyl on it later. btw, Ronnie was very helpful and kind enough to offer rides. Thanks again. If you live in austin or neighboring cities, use this shop & you won't regret it.

Pros: Price, quality work, nice staffs

Cons: nothing really except the lil situation I've had and slow internet speed? =]

have used Sun Tint for window tinting for more than 15 years and 5 cars. I have always recieved the best customer service and the highest standards of window film. In this case I had my son's 1992 Honda detailed and I couldn't believe what they did with it. It was as if it was new. The paint as shiny again and the interior was a miracle. I highly recommed Sun Tint not only for the care they take with both window tinting and detailing my car but it is rare these days to incounter such a high level of customer service.

Pros: Affordable, Friendly, Good Customer Service

First Impression: EXCELLENT! Staff was knowledgeble. I did a walk-in, since I didn't know much about the company. I got immediate and friendly service. They had brochures and samples to hold up to your window to find the right shades of tint. 2nd visit (after scheduling an appt): Comfortable! I brought my car in and did the 1.5-2 hr wait in their lobby area. There was also a sign up that welcomed customers to use their wi-fi interenet if you have a laptop. Otherwise, you were welcome to watch tv and read magazines. The Finished Job: BEAUTIFUL tinting and not a bubble in sight. Note (on certain tints): for the tint to set, they recommend you do not roll down your windows during the first 24 hrs. Also: They recommend you come back a week later so they can double check the windows. 2 hours wait time = beautiful tint done professionally and very friendly staff.

These guys are the best. Not only did they work quickly, but the work is fabulous. They are friendly and know their product as well. I had the opportunity to meet the owner and he is a very nice man as well. The tinting on my car looks fabulous and I'm very happy. Oh, and the waiting room with cable tv and wifi is great too! Thanks for a job well done!

Pros: Easy to find, great customer service, great product

Best tint, pricing and installation in town. I've used others in the Austin area and am glad I finally found Sun Tint. I called around and others would match their pricing, but the service doesn't compare. Don't waste your time looking around, go to Sun Tint. You'll love it, if you have kids, they'll really love it. This was my 5th or 6th tint job and I'm very picky; they did a great job.

Pros: Price, Service, Installation, Fast

I chose to use Sun Tint after comparing user reviews here for different companies in town. I was so satisfied with the first car, I took my wife's car in, too. Service was quick and the job was well-done and we're very happy with the quality. A real bonus for me was the free wi-fi access in their lobby so I could work while I waited.

Pros: quick service, free wi-fi

Cons: can be busy, best to call ahead
