Tint World

Last year Tint World installed a remote start in my car. I recently went out of town and after I picked up my car from airport parking, my key fobs didn’t work.
I called and made an appointment for last week. Drove there after work only to sit, wait for a bit, and then be told, «Sorry, the computer we use hasn’t been running all day.»
Wait…seriously?!
You know, because it’s not like the last few weeks haven’t already been insanely stressful; of course I have ample time to drive to and from Bensenville for no reason. /​sarcasm
All it took was ONE phone call, gahhh! No one even looked at my car, touched it; nothing. I made another appointment and was sent on my way.
My SECOND appointment was today. I was told there was a programming issue. A guy went out to my car (still where I parked it in the lot), fiddled with a few things, opened my moonroof (??. and then left it that way), and I was on my way. The whole thing took all of 5 minutes.
Given it was a programming issue, I’m preeeeetty sure the issue could have been fixed during my FIRST appointment.

Follow up. My issue with the back window did not go away but tint world replaced it and now is perfect. At no charge by the way. I’m very happy with them and would go back

Great service, very fast. The only thing I would say bad is if your paying the amount we do, the remote should come with it. It shouldn’t be an extra charge.

Great place! Friendly and very helpful staff! I cant express enough how helpful and patient the manager Mike and his wife were with helping me choose exactly what I wanted. I loved that they were so genuine with me as a customer and took time to explain each tint package and more. Ended up just getting my car windows tinted (which look perfect!) and I will definitely be back for a sound system in the near future!

I bought a groupon for a $ 35 headlight restoration and they totally did a great job! My headlights look brand new now! I am so happy with the work done. Will definitley be back for more work on my car.

good service！really nice guy！my Ford Mustang gt looks way better than before. Tank you very much guys!

These people are a bunch of rip offs! Wanted to charge me $ 260 to put tints on my car?!? You’ve got to be kidding me. I thought I misunderstood but no $ 260 I have had tints put on several cars and never paid more than $ 150 with a lifetime warranty. This is just ridiculous!

Stopped in Tint World because I just moved here to Illinois and was looking for a place to install my front license plate. Unfortunately they do not do this but Antoinette, who was at the front desk, went above and beyond. She took the time to look up and call two places to see if they could put my plates on. Found a place close by and I made an appointment for monday. I truly appreciate the service Antoinette provided me even though I did not have anything done at their shop. Will definitely keep them in mind when I need any of the services they do provide.

I don’t usually dont comment on Unilocal,but I felt the need to. I would not recommend this shop to anyone one. I purchased this living social voucher for my boyfriend. We waited a month and a half to get it installed. Then I get a call saying that they needed to cancel my appointment. I took a day off of work so I could get this installed for him. They gave us another appointment that same week after I made a big fuse about the situation. That was one point off of there rating their liability and there customer service skills are horrible.
My boyfriend went to get it installed today and was told we had to get a bypass installed. So then the manager was involved my boyfriend was told he would not need to get the bypass installed for his car. Okay then after installing the starter they then came and told him he needed to pay 100 dollars for this bypass part. Even though the manager told him he didn’t need it before they began working on his car. Prior to this appointment we called to make sure we weren’t going to get charged for this part. So we have a remote start that does not work because we refused to pay the extra 100 dollars. So I take off 3 points off for the misleading information and no informing customers before their appointments.
I personally feel that this shop is misleading and has horrible customer service skills. We read the fine print there are additional charges but they mis informed my boyfriend and still tried charging him the 100 dollars.
I would never do services with this autoshop again. They are misleading and they have horrible customer service and very unprofessional. That is all I have to say.

For Christmas this year I asked Santa to get me an auto-​start for my 2004 Toyota Sienna. Santa found a deal on Groupon and set me up with Tint World. When I called to book my appointment I was initially told that they were booked through February and there was an additional charge for the by-​pass needed due to the chip in my car key. (basically, it fools the car into thinking the key is in the ignition.) I said I understood about the additional charge and that I had read the Unilocal reviews so I knew they were very busy. I asked that they put me on a waiting list as I would be happy to drive out there if someone else canceled.
The lovely woman asked if I could hold on a minute, came back & told me they had a cancellation for the coming Saturday afternoon. I booked it, overjoyed as I knew the nasty north winds would be coming soon.
The day I had my appointment I was told it would be between 3 and 4 hours till the car was finished. I ended up staying (I live about 35 minutes away.) It actually was done in 2 hours! The staff was charming & delightful. We had a good time chatting & the fact that they had comfortable chairs & a TV made the time go quickly.
When the car was ready, they took me out to explain how it worked. They noticed my raggedy old headlights & offered to polish them up. I left about 15 minutes later with shining headlights, a job I had tried to get my son to do all summer!
I work in a law office. This afternoon our real estate closer came in and gave me an evil look. She said she had cursed me this morning. When I asked why, she said it was because I had not had to fight with my car in the cold this morning. She was jealous of my auto-​start! I told her to call Tint World ASAP!
Thanks to the folks at Tint World for making this winter cold so much more bearable!

I called before purchasing their groupon to check some things. Told them what kind of car I had and also the year and was told that it would be an additional $ 100. Ok that’s still cheap so I than purchased the groupon and than called back to schedule an appointment the same day. I was than told that they didn’t do installation on my car. I wish they would have told me this upfront the first time I called before I actually purchased the groupon. Very bad business to have me think they did installation and then tell a completely different story the second time.

Purchased the Groupon deal for a remote starter. When I called they were very clear about the options for our 2009 Subaru… a single bypass module and disable the security system or 2 bypass modules and the security system would continue to work. We opted for the latter. (they gave me the keyless upgrade for free because of the extra bypass I was purchasing) Installation was offered for an overnight appointment the next week or daytime appointment the next month. When I received the car back (after the overnight… was anxious to get it done) was told how to use the basic function of starting the car. Had to look up in the instruction manual (left in the box on the passenger seat) how to access the panic feature, etc. System works well (only had it for a week) but love the convenience and wish I would have done this a long time ago. Staff was professional, friendly, but very busy.

Excellent work excellent customer service they did an awesome job on my tints and detailed my car I would def recommend and go back for other accessories.

The owner Mike and his wife are a very good team and try to provide the best service possible at the best price possible. I had a remote start done here and it turned out great it was in my 2007 Honda Accord. Glad I went to them will be returning for my window tinting as well

Went to get my car windows tinted. They did a great job. The price was great as well.

During the Christmas season, my sister bought us an auto started kit and service via Groupon as an xmas gift. It was one of the best gifts I got as I always wanted this for my car. This must have been a popular deal as when my husband called to make an appointment; the next appointment was in February, wow!
It was ok, I didn’t mind as I know Chicago weather it will still be snowing and cold past March.
When we arrived, it’s a small shop next to a taco bell off of a busy York rd. After a long day at work and stuck in traffic, I didn’t care much of my first impression when I walked in. I felt that I was not greeted well, no one was inside the shop and I sat down just waiting for someone anyone to greet me. Not the greatest first impression. When I finally spoke with a lady, I felt like she too was there for a long day like she didn’t want to be there or serve me. Maybe it’s because I was one of the many Groupon holders as I was told it was a lot of response. I would think that’s a good idea for a local business, right? The gal in the evening shift needs to smile a bit more or at least fake it when greeting a customer especially for first time customers if you want me to come back.
Their parking lot is a bit small and their location is kind of hidden, maybe the Taco Bell sign over powers theirs as I didn’t know it existed unless I had that Groupon to use.
Since my car has a push button starter, I had to pay extra for labor over $ 100 more, I asked my car lovers friends out there and they said that’s typical for auto starter plus additional labor for newer cars with push button vs a turnkey car. Meaning if I had to start my car with my actual car keys, then I wouldn’t have to shell out for the additional labor work. So I paid it and it did state on the Groupon as well.
After giving up my car keys to them, I was a bit hesitant that I would end up paying more for something that I didn’t know. The next morning was a much better experience. There was another lady at the counter that welcomed me with a friendly smile and service. While we were waiting she was telling us the history of their business and the owners… I enjoy small talk and it wasn’t a sales pitch. It’s nice to build that business relationship especially if it has to do with your car. She explained their other services that they offer and that they carwash and clean up many dealership cars around their area. I liked that she made conversation with us while we were waiting to get our car back. Now that’s customer service!
While waiting, I noticed on the wall that they also do different types of professional car window tinting, auto detailing, car stereo and video installation, and much more. It’s also a popular chain name from the South of US.
The guy that brought our car up front was also nice and showed us how to use our new toy and he took his time to allow us to test it on the lot, so kewl!
Overall, I’d come back, maybe to have my car detailed in the sprimmer (spring/​summer weather).

After doing some research to have remote starter installed and reviewing these guys work I trusted to put my money to work. They recommended CompuStar remote starters and did an awesome job with the installation.
They run a clean and friendly family business that needs more support for all their hard work. Giving them a 5 was my next choice but for now I am huge fan. Keep up the good job.

Great place, great people would recommend to my family and friends been to many places this is the best. Thanks tint world keep up the great work.

I had the Groupon for the remote start and I am soooo glad I got it from here. Aside from a rocky start (they sold over 200 Groupons and just weren’t ready for the amount of business), my service at Tint World was fantastic. The owner, Mike Mayo, contacted me personally and they stayed later than 5 pm so that they could have it installed within a week of my purchase. I dropped it off around 5 pm and they had it done at about 7:30 pm. I was quoted 3 — 4 hours, but it obviously took much less. I definitely recommend this Tint World if you’re looking for anything car related.
I felt like Mike genuinely cared about what was best for my car and best suited my needs. A lot of times car places want to up sell you to make more money and he just seemed like he wanted to make the customer happy. And that he did. Highly recommend this shop!

Just got a remote start installed with this place and had a great experience. The installers completed my car a 2004 suburban and did it while I waited. The employees in the waiting room were nice and had coffee and hot chocolate. My kids were messing with some of the stuff in the waiting room but the woman answering the phone was very nice and even gave them something to color while we waited.
The shop was VERY BUSY but my stuff got finished quickly. All in all, I would recommend this place and after seeing their work I plan to come back and get an ultimate tint package in the spring.
