Sunshades Window Tinting

Robert, the owner of Sunshades is a fucking asshole. He thinks that because he owns his own business he can treat customers any way he wants, which may be true, but not when you work in conjunction with another corporation. He’s Trying to make me pay a hidden $ 100 fee for an interlock system when a price was already agreed upon. After I inform him there is no way in HELL that i’m paying it, he just starts acting like a sulky, petulant teen. He didn’t inform me on how violations are accumulated, so now i have too many and my car needs to be serviced a week too soon. I’ve gone ahead and complained to Guardians (The interlock company) and switched locations. He also would not tell me what I was signing, and got REALLY impatient when i tried to read the papers before signing. Do not come here for your interlock system, save yourself.

Sunshade provides great service. They talked me through different options for my car stereo purchase, and they did a great job on the installation, all for a very reasonable price. Would definitely recommend them.

Robert is fantastic! His customer service is worth way more than 5 stars :) I’m a roofer and I drive around my truck in the crazy austin sun and was constantly having to apply sunscreen for protection. Robert installed special tints that cut out the uv rays… it’s so awesome that any time I get in someone else’s car I can totally tell the difference. He also installed a new radio, sub, amp and ran all my wires (GPS, phone charger etc) into the vehicle so that I don’t have a mess of cords hanging around. A+ work & service. Very highly recommend Robert for custom auto needs

I took my 2012 S 550 to SunShades two years ago to install the TOP OF THE LINE CR Crystalline window tint. My car was out in California all summer till yesterday when I got it back. The heat index in Austin has been 115 degrees easy. This widow tint keeps the heat out better than any other tint I’ve ever seen. My wife’s other luxury SUV doesn’t match to this tint. I highly recommend Robert and his crew and sunshades and highly recommend the Crystalline window tint!!!

Great service! Helped me out with a tint exchange for my car registration. I will definitely be using their services in the future!

I just had a new subwoofer and amplifier put in my 2015 Chevy Equinox, it sounds wonderful. I had great customer service the entire time, not only did they match custom sounds in Austin but they beat their price. I didn’t want a huge sound system so I got 1 12″ polk db 1212 running on a 600:1 mono kicker amp, it is perfect for me. No punch to it and it is easy to move out when my wife and I need the space. Thank y’all for the time, knowledge and help.

I wanted to provide an updated review. I recently bought a new car and brought it back to Sunshades for tinting. Once again, setting up the appointment was easy, they were able to get me in the same week I called. The price was reasonable, it only cost $ 225 for all four windows. The only difference this go round was it took a little more time but luckily we had my husbands truck so we were able to run some errands while we waited. I could not recommend Sunshades highly enough. We will continue to use them and recommend them in the future!

I was referred to SunShades by a co– worker that use to be involved in the Custom car shows. Last time I had my windows tinted the shop I went to damaged my door panels and I was a little worried about coming to this new place. My fears were immediately dismissed when I saw a brand new 2015 Bentley Coupe sitting in side getting tint. Though my car is just a little Subaru, they treated it and me just like the Bentley! I drove home and looked around and the tint looked like it came from the factory. Thank you Robert for putting up with me while I waited. Great job! Highly recommend!

Window Tinting ~
These guys «kicked it» and got my windows done in a little over an hour. The work looks great! Both Robert (the owner) and Rudy were informative and friendly guys. I am pleased with the service I received here. I was told that any hazy look or tiny bubbles would be gone once the film had time to dry… SO… If I have any problems, I’ll report that in a couple of days after the «drying» time lapses…
Keepin’ it cool for the summer now that I got my TINT on!!!

Sunshades tinted both my cars in a timely and professional manner. Robert was very polite and took the time to explain options. I plan to go here for all my future tinting needs.

Quality and quantity works here. Was finished within an hour. I left to go eat and it was done before I even ordered my food.

Excellent work but i got a full tint and a sunroof too. Added the visor tint which would have been free if i had checked Unilocal first. I paid for a fulltint and $ 45 for the sunroof and another $ 45 for the visor tint. Would have been nice to have been told about the coupon. Would have saved me $ 45. I like Unilocal coupons but i feel a bit let down by the charge.

I did my research before going here. I needed a 2-​way alarm with remote start installed, but wanted to make sure it was done RIGHT. I called around and Robert (probably the owner) reassured me they have worked with my vehicle and would have no problems. His price was fair and I decided to go with his shop.
The process was super easy. There was a availability the next day, so I scheduled to drop it off in the morning. 4 hours later and all was complete. That was fast! I saw zero damage to my truck and the alarm and remote start is working perfectly.
On top of the device being installed correctly, I must say the shop looked much better than I expected. I think the pictures on Unilocal,and especially the pictures on the website, don’t do it justice. There is a showroom for stuff they sell, which was unexpected. And the whole place was pretty big. I thought it would be very small. It looked very professional. I think the owner should take a few more pics and throw them up on his site!
I’ll update this review if the device stops working or something, but for now it is a clear 5 stars. I’ll be coming back when I decide to get a navigation installed.
Thanks Robert!

Dropped my car off at my scheduled time of 1:00 and was done by 3:00. The tint looks great so far and will look even better when it fully dries. Sunshades was the most competitive pricing I could find and they really did an awesome job. Nice little waiting area to sit at also. Robert the owner was very nice and answered all my questions. I’ll be back to get my radar detector installed shortly!

Purchased tint, alarm, and a receiver. Had a lighting issue from previous work I had done. Tracked down the issue and only charged an hour for the labor. I know they spent more time on it then that. They figured out I had used the wrong bulbs in my parking lights; even went to the parts house and bought the correct bulbs to correct my problem. Great shop, great prices, and great customer service.

He quoted me an hour and a half for a window tint but had it done in about an hour and ten minutes. He gave me the lowest quote and included tax in the price so it was accurate. The owner is very friendly and answered my million questions. Their waiting area is actually really awesome. Lots of cool car magazines and a SUPER comfortable couch.
So far it looks great, I will update this review again in a week after it cures.

45 bucks just to give me an estimate? No thanks.

Great job and customer service at this place. Robert was the one that I spoke with and he was able to help me. It took a little longer than I hoped but I’m satisfied.

Good service and so far no issues. they were very professional and I may consider getting windshield tinted since they pass that new law allowing you to light tint it. I would have gave them 5 stars but It didn’t appear they whipped down any scuffs or messes they made while installing it. No big deal though I cleaned it up and they did a good job overall

I tell you this story so I can tell you another story… aaaannnd here we go…
Last year, during a routine State of Texas License tag inspection, this guy measured the tint on my windows of my F150 — which were apparently TOO DARK. This was bad.
However, because they were out of spec, he did not pass my vehicle inspection and charged me for the inspection. This was BAD.
The inspector notified me that if I remove the tint and bring it back — he would then produce a valid vehicle inspection sticker upon my return. Hey, this is good, riight?!
Next step, I had to remove the illegal tint from my front/​passenenger windows. This part was very BAAAD.
After an hour+ of pulling, scraping and cleaning, it was done… and it looked GOOD!
So ends the first story…

Since my BNL is in the car biz, I figured I’d leverage his considerable connections to find a ‘Tint Guy’. He directed me to call Robert over at Sunshades and to do the deal. He said drop it off, eat lunch, come back… it will be done… This sounded GOOOD!
Robert’s Team tinted my front two windows over lunch, for a reasonable price AND they were professional. The end result was very, very GOOOOOD!
If you need to get your tint on, give Robert a call!
