I’ve had two cars tinted here! Great price, fast service! Friendly staff! I recommend them to anyone.
Great experience with Shade Shop - easy to schedule, knowledgeable staff and quick turnaround! I’ll definitely go back for future tints, I love the lifetime warranty that’s transferable!
I first met the guys from shade shop when I worked at south point dodge. I saw the work they did and knew they’d always have my business. They’ve done about 5 cars for me. I get the ceramic tint it really makes a difference in this Texas heat.
i went for window tinting and the work was amazing! they give you clear instructions after you get it done to take care of it correctly and they make sure you like it and they actually care about doing a good job
Replaced shade on rear window (installed elsewhere 11 years ago) and put new shade on front window of Volvo S60. Looks fantastic. Nice to be able to see out of the back again!
