Sun Tint

I was here several months ago and had a superior experience. I drive an older VW Jetta and there’s not much point to put too much work into it now, however, I couldn’t stand driving it with naked windows. Also, my back windows won’t even roll down! And they still agreed to do the tint, but warned me there could be a line at the top but I went for it anyways and so glad I did. Very affordable, too. And there’s no line I can see! It looks perfect!!! I went for the as dark as possible look (and most affordable option) and I absolutely love it and love my choice. I had an appointment, waited in that really nice waiting area, they were courteous and had drinks and then had my ride pull up looking like new with its new, tinted windows. Great, great experience and highly recommend these great folks.

Went in with a Red Mazda 6 GT 2016, got window tint and the Clear Protection film. Got some great advice on what to get and what not to get. The gentlemen were awesome and did a great job. A business where you walk out feeling good and know you’re not being ripped off. Very friendly, trustworthy and great attention to detail. Highly recommended.

Had to get a warranty replacement tint done, from another provider. Since I had gotten my tint done at another garage in Va and I live in Austin now.
SunTint was the ones that came through and made the warranty replacement process simple and doable (the tint provider in Va was making it very hard to pay for our replacement).
Heather did a great job with getting the other provider to own up to his warranty responsibilities and to get the job done quickly as possible.
The tint from SunTint came out nicely. Great job from the tint techs. I dropped the car off in the morning at opening and they had it done around lunch time.
I did notice some left behind tint plastic scrappings on my back seat. Just a couple pieces. This is not a big deal to me. But I can see this bothering other customers, if they are the type that get upset easily.

Talk about awesome service! This place is amazing. It was easy to make an appointment and they were very through explaining the different tinting options. The estimated time for installation was 1.5 hours but they had my Jeep completed in just over an hours time. I highly recommend Sun Tint for service and pricing.

Got truck re-​tinted. They took off old tint and put new tint on windows and back glass. Looks like a great job. Lifetime warranty.

Had the entire front of my car (and side mirrors) clear-​protected. As usual, the job was perfect. Wouldn’t trust my vehicles with anyone else.

Just had my third job completed with the pros at Sun tint.
All jobs done right
Great communication, fast professional
Installers
Don’t waste time anywhere else– these are your guys!

Mercedes messed up my tint repairing my door lock. Sun Tint had originally tinted the car and I brought it to them to be fixed. Amazing quick job! They fixed my tint in 30 minutes and I was on my way. This is the third car I’ve had them do and they always do an outstanding job with superior customer service. Thanks everyone at Sun Tint for doing a great job!

I have nothing to complain about. Got my ’12 Mini Cooper tinted with UV-​blocking film, definitely money well spent. Service was friendly and prompt, and my car was done within just a few hours of having dropped it off. I’d recommend them for anyone needing tint.

** BEWARE: Manager smoked cigarettes inside my new vehicle then denied having done so! **
I would be very careful if you decide to take a newer car here for window tinting. When I initially talked to one of the guys here and one of the longer nails on one of his fingers started to break off, prompting him to bite off the nail fully with his teeth since he didn’t have access to a nail clipper, I should have taken that as a sign and gotten the hell out of there. This circumstance originally occurred in December, it has taken me almost half a year to get over just what the hell happened.
Imagine purchasing a brand new 2015 GTI. Happy with your purchase, you drive the car around Austin all morning after purchasing earlier that evening in the previous day in order to get a feel for it. The first place you take it is SunTint, for some window tinting. The owner, who you had spoken to a couple days prior is out of town.
As you wait in the lobby, you are told by the General Manager Heather, that it’s taking a little bit longer in order to get the car ready. Meanwhile, two older gentleman who both arrived after me with Tesla’s respectively and were dumb enough to bring their cars here, somehow are able to leave sooner.
After waiting further, you go outside for a walk. You notice your car being worked on and that very same General Manager and nail biting guy working on the car. She is sitting in the car, and smoking in it! I don’t know why I didn’t yell and scream at them at that very moment. Ask them «What the **** are you doing, why are you smoking in my new car!» Chalk it up to me being exhausted from that earlier drive, and me being absolutely dumbfounded at the total lack of respect for peoples property that these folks had, but I said nothing and merely observed, and then went back into the lobby. It gets worse.
When the car is finally ready, it is tinted. I noticed the sunroof was tilted, and I asked Heather about it. She seemed to get nervous upon being asked, stating that it can be adjusted that way and it was basically done for «style». I’ll figure out why she was nervous later that evening when it was cold outside and I needed to warm up the car. As I do so, tons of cigarette smoke pours out of the vents and inside the vehicle! She raised the sunroof because she smoked inside the car and there needed to be a place for the fumes to escape. The door windows were tinted and they couldn’t be rolled down!
This person took this car for a test drive, or smoked inside it for so long that somehow residual cigarette smoke was able to stay inside the car for a significant amount of time. When I called and asked this person why my car smells like cigarette smoke, she denied any wrong doing. When I told this person I saw her smoking in my vehicle, she stated she did no such thing. When I advised I wanted to speak to the owner, she stated she could understand why. (Oh really?)
That owner was still at least a week away from returning. I was so shocked by what had happened I decided it wasn’t worth discussing the matter further, that I should take my business elsewhere. Upon telling my brother what had happened, he told me «You should have gone to SunBusters.» He was right.
I planned to take the vehicle back to SunTint for clear paint protection. I took it to SunBusters instead. The $ 2000+ dollars I have put towards paint protection and other things such as wrapped wheels and a black roof are giving SunBusters business instead. Best of all, SunBusters doesn’t smoke inside your car, drive it around, then deny having done any of those things when called out on it, even if the person making the claim as seen them doing these disgraceful things. When I first took my vehicle to SunBusters and talked with one of the guys there, explaining what had happened at SunTint, a wealthy older gentleman in a new Ferrari told me he has had so many negative experiences there that he only does business with SunBusters now.
This review likely won’t change anybody’s mind as this establishment has been around for decades and there are still lots of people out there dumb enough to give them consistent business.
But if it strikes a chord with you, please take care of your property and don’t do business with this establishment. If you are done wrong by these people and make the mistake of coming here, have enough personal self respect for yourself try to right the wrong in some form or fashion.
But the best thing you can do is avoid this place, and go to a competitor. By the way, it took over four months before the lingering cigarette smoke finally couldn’t be noticed. To this day, I have never to by knowledge been so blatantly disrespected by a small business ever, in my life. I will never do business with this establishment again, and will do everything I can to refer people to more reputable places based on this experience.

Was referred here by friend and I’m very happy with results. Would recommend.

I had a great experience with Sun Tint. They perfectly matched the tint on a window on my 10 year old Mercedes and did it for a very reasonable price. They were also very friendly, the waiting area was very nice and I was out the door in 30 min total. Highly recommend!

I just had my 5^th car tinted by Sun Tint and I would not go anywhere else in Austin. Their work is top notch and they work with the best products. I have always felt I got a great deal based on the work that was performed. I truly feel that Sun Tint performs their job as if they were working on their own vehicles.

Late review, went in last year and told heather i needed the best tint and worker on my car because i planned on showing it. Had to go back 2 more times and there are still issues. Paid 300 plus. Heather is rude and argumentative before even looking at the problem. Real shame because they have done several cars and some commercial work for me. Will not be going back.

I had the tint on my car replaced and clear bra film applied.
Ronnie did a fantastic job walking me through everything. Even did a one week checkup to take out any odd bubbles. (there was one)
Prices were better than some of the other companies around the area. I highly recommend this company.

I have had Ronnie at Sun Tint install two clear bras and tint on my cars over the last few years. Ronnie/​Sun Tint does such a good job I don’t even mind fighting Austin traffic to get there. Last time I was there, they were doing a clear bra on a new Ferrari. Not surprising, if I could afford a supercar I would have Sun Tint put a clear bra on it too. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ all around.

I had a great experience with these guys! I have some large, odd-​shaped single pane windows in my house that started getting intense afternoon sunlight after my neighbor had to cut down a tree. Sun Tint gave me some samples that blocked different amounts of sun, but when I called them to schedule the job, I asked for the wrong tint! I really wanted the darkest, but I asked for the number that was the lightest. Totally my fault. The guy showed up and had started cutting the tinting while we talked. By the way I was talking he figured out that I probably wanted the darker tint and asked me about it. I felt bad, but he was totally cool about and encouraged me to let them order the right tint (it was a special order because of the windows’ size).
The job also required him to use more than one piece of tint on the windows because of the size, but the seam is completely invisible. The tinting looks great. You can’t tell it’s there except for the fact that you no longer bake in the room in the afternoons.

Went today and we got our 3^rd car tinted. We love Sun Tint and will continue to keep coming back. Thank you for your service to our family.

Purchased my wife a new Audi A6. I was driving home with it and realized it needed car tint. Called a few places for price and availability. Sun tint said bring it in right now and we can get you out under 2 hours. On my way!
Got there and they gave me different options and tint quality. Got the 411 and the 101 in car tinting. I decided to go with the ceramic 30. Sure enough got me out under 2 hours. Great tint job too! I paid $ 350 total.
I was curious and called other places to see if I got a good deal. Sun tint was $ 60 cheaper for the same ceramic tint. Winner winner chicken dinner!
Nice waiting area with TV and a beautiful golden retriever that will come up and say hi. Thanks Sun Tint! I might just bring my new Jaguar by too.

Asked around and searched the web for a tint shop. Sun Tint was consistently rated at the top of the list. I called, made an appointment for the following morning.
When I arrived, the salesperson reviewed with me all the options for my vehicle and helped me pick the package that fit my budget. They also offered me future discounts on ancillary services like hood film should I choose to add it later.
I walked to Thunderbird, worked for 2 hours, and received a call that my car was ready right on time.
The tint job is fantastic. Even better is the fact that the clear film on the windshield makes my heads-​up display visible in polarized sunglasses, where it was not visible beforehand. I’m super pumped about that.
Friendly staff, fast service, good products. Can’t ask for more. Looks like their Unilocal rating is well-​deserved, and I highly recommend them.
