Shield-X

They replaced my windshield and gave me a $ 55 credit for a bullseye repair done 4 years ago by the previous owner… I call that great customer service!!! A family run business I will patronize again!

I have been coming to this place for window tint on all my cars. My last car the tint was sticking and my windows weren’t able to roll down. They took my car back and took the tint off for free and explained why my car was making the tint stick. Highly recommended this place for the fast and friendly customer service.

Unprofessional, rude, racist, and no sense of honor.
Terrible wouldn’t do enough justice in rating this place. Brought my car in and requested they tint my front windows to match my already tinted rear windows. They put a 5% on (my rear was a 35%) and when I requested they fix it, the owner refused & made reference to «you people» always coming in requesting illegal tint, which I as a black male find racist. In an effort not to make an issue, I said nothing at the time in response to her ignorant statement. When one of the workers attempted to give me a copy of the warranty, she literally snatched it out of my hands and refused to give me a copy. I had to take it back & snap a picture of it with my Cell Phone. Despite that, she still refused to honor it. I made a big mistake by paying up front & not only wound losing the money spent to get the tint, spending extra elsewhere to correct it. I’ve never written a negative post before, however the service I experienced here is by far the worst. Unprofessional, rude, and no sense of honor.

Brought my car in on a Saturday and a worker tinted the the glass. Took it back three days later due to waves and bubbles. The owner fixed it which took 3 hours, because that worker did such a bad job the tint had to be taken off then new tint had to be put on. Advice: make sure the owner does the tint job his help sucks. I told him this too.

Not reliable! I had an appointment for some residential tinting work. They never showed up nor did they call to cancel. Office personnel seems disorganized. Not recommended!

If I need another tint job I will definitely come back to this place. Their work is good but it also comes with a warranty. So if any bubbles form then come get it taken care of for free it only takes a few minutes.
This is why I like them, I have had other tint jobs that were expensive to install but didn’t last long. They have a variety of types of tint and they seem like they genuinely care. So if you love your car I suggest you treat it good with someone you can blame if something goes wrong on your windows.

got a rock chip right after I got my windows tinted so i called them and they gave me a discount cuz i was short on money. lol i thought that was pretty cool. they told me they were new owners and bought the business less than a year ago. so I think they do way better work then previous owner becuz seems like people hated previous owner lol

Best price in town for mobile windshield replacement. Beat other prices quoted by at lease 50 bucks! They also had great service. Definitely recommend.

I hate giving negative reviews but my experience here was way below average. The quality of the film here is good, but the service was poor. My boyfriend bought some coupons on Buy With Me ($ 30 for $ 80 value) for tinting at Shield X and called a week in advance to make our appointment for 10 am. We were told the tinting takes 3 hours and would be done at 1 pm. Since it is 40 minutes away, we decided to walk to a Starbucks nearby (10 min walk) and come back when it was done. I made another appointment at 3 pm, thinking we would have more than enough time to spare.
Well, we showed up a little late, but called them ahead of time to notify them. They said it was fine. They again said it would be 3 hours so we headed to Starbucks and called around 12:30… Only to find out that they had JUST started. So my car had been sitting there for 2 hours while we walked in the 90 degrees heat outside… But they assured us only 1 more hour.
We walked back to the store around 1:45… But still not done. In fact, the entire back half was not done. The manager assured us it would be done soon. He also apologized that the AC was broken. We sat down inside and I was sweating! On one of the hottest days (high if 95), there was no AC or fan… I almost had a heat stroke sitting in there.
I ended up having to cancel my afternoon appointment because my car was still not done come 3:30 pm. If you want to come here still, allot 5 hours, not 3. Or make sure to ask if they are going to work on your car right away or else come back later!
Sadly, the quality of the work was not very good either. I was told it was because: (1) one of the tinters quit that morning and (2) they are not «tint specialists.» I ended up having to go back AGAIN the next week and have half of my windows redone. This time, they were very careful to make sure that it was done quickly — the quality of the work? Still so-​so.
I’m glad I have lifetime warranty on the tint, but the hassle of going to this place is probably not worth going back unless need be.

Best tint in North county. The price isn’t bad, but the quality is exceptional. They wiill not dissapoint, and the service is great! Not only would I recommend this place, but I will only bring my vehicles here.

Called, then went by for an estimate (about 3:30 PM.) after checking a couple of other service providers. We were greeted politely by a staff member who introduced himself as Lee, and asked if he could be of service.
I showed him the problem, (which ended up requiring a new windshield) and received an estimate, which was lower than I received from other places. A nice surprise.
It was not an item they stocked (not uncommon), but it could be there the next morning, so I booked the appointment and ordered the part. I showed up at the appointed time, was greeted nicely, the vehicle was driven into the shop, and the work performed as promised in about thirty-​five minutes. All by the same technician who greeted me and gave me the estimate the afternoon before.
If you stop in there, ask for Lee. He was prompt, polite, professional, and friendly.
All in all a very positive experience, and I would certainly give them repeat business based on the service received, professionalism, and good vibe of the people who work there.
The only small negative I can site is… While there for the estimate, there was a young man (19 – 22 ish) working there. He walked around acting like he owned the place, was kind of bossy, a bit arrogant, and interrupted my conversation with Lee a couple of times without knowing what was going on in the dialog. He then told me what my appointment time would be after it had already been set up, logged in, the deal had been made, and the windshield ordered. Just keep him in the back, guys, and you’ll be OK.

So I got a fix it ticket {thats another story damm you po pos} and needed my two front window tint removed. I was near this place and decided to go in and get my tinit removed. First off when I walked in kevin was on the phone giving a rate to a customer with the business hours and address. Afterwards I realized that it was past 5:30 and that he would probably tell me to come back tomorrow, but actually he said he could do it right now and it would take about ten minutes. Definitely happy I came here kevin was such a big help and to stay after hours and do a great job taking off my tint 5 stars all around.

My boyfriend is restoring a 65 VW Bug and had some windows with scratches in it. He calls Shield X and they told him that they could buff out the scratches so he drops the windows off to them. A week later, no call, no status of the windows. He calls over and over and gets no answers, weeks go by, and finally he decides to just go down there to pick up his windows. A month went by and they did nothing to the windows. If they couldn’t do the job, no problem, just call and let us know instead of wasting our time by having the windows sit at the shop for a month.
Couple months later he gets the Bug back from the paint shop and needs someone to install the windshield. He calls several places and forgets what company he called and makes an appointment for someone to come to the house to do the job. Just so happen the guy who shows up is the guy who screwed us the first time with the other windows. So he gives him the benefit of the doubt, he installs the windshield and it cracks. With all fairness, there was a chip in the glass. So he tells us that he will pick up another windshield and come back the next day to install it. The next day, no call, no show, no windshield, and he doesn’t answer his phone. My Boyfriend calls the owner of the store and he tells my boyfriend to get another windshield and that he would send another guy out the next day. So the other guy shows up, long story short, he didn’t know what he was doing, he ruined the seal and chrome around the windshield, and on top of that he scratched the clear coat of the brand new $ 3500 paint job. My boyfriend is beyond pissed at this point, he pays him anyway without finishing the job and tells him just to leave. So my Boyfriend gets on the phone with the owner of the company and persuades him to come by to look at the mess his guy did. The owner of the shop came by the next day and had the «oh well» attitude, was not apologetic, did not offer any resolution or money for the cost of the damaged windshield frame, chrome, or for the paint job. He pretty much threw $ 140 at my boyfriend and says «that’s lunch money to me» and leaves.
Fair warning, if you value your time, money, and property, do not call these guys!!!

Can I give SIX stars to these guys???
They do hands down, the BEST window tint in the land.
Plus, the gentleman that came to our restoration shop to do a windshield crack repair, was literally in and out like a speed bullet!
Thanks for a job well done.
Keep it up guys.

These guys do good work for a great price. Got tint on my 03 tundra, 2 front 2 back and back 3 piece slider window for $ 149 with a lifetime warranty.
The truck was done in an hour and they were very helpful in telling me how to remove hard water spots from my windows.
I do have to go back because I think my wife already scratched my passenger side window, I will update my review with their warranty service when I get that fixed.
These guys are a must when you need tint done and dont have alot of $$ to spend

thought i was going too pay 149 for all windows.
Made my appt.
Couldn’t take me on the same day.fine.
When i got there the tint went from 149 to 189.
In order to get the best film.
It took two hours too finish.
After two weeks i notice spots on the film.
Went, was told to bring it back. a different day.
Went back. they didn’t finish the repair.
Was told to bring it back again.
In order for them to get the correct film.
Went but. the guy whose been working on it wasn’t there.
Nobody called or nothing.
If you don’t mind a bad job, bad service and going back and forth.
Then this is your place.
It sure hasn’t been mine.
I do not recommend it.

Not too sure if this is the same X-​Shield I just went to. only one on
though… anyway, I went here to get my car tinted…
Place i went to is in Oceanside, 4083 Oceanside Blvd to be exact.
Paid $ 119 for my 2009 Ford Focus SES 4 door. The guy said it was normally $ 149. Got all windows tinted @ 20%. This is my 4^th car that I have had tints put on. I am from NY. Prices in the Bronx ran about $ 50 cheaper… Time it took to apply tints back home, maybe 25 minutes. Shield-​x Took almost 2 hours… Still Looks good but I feel it took way longer than it should. Maybe the guys in NY are just nasty at tinting windows and bang them out super quick. Either way, it was easy + came with warranty. I’d go back unless I found somewhere else cheaper but this was the first place I called and it was less than 3 miles from my house…
8.5÷10

Don’t go to this place. The owner is very unprofessional.
We had our car windows tinted at this location. The tinter scratched our car window. We took the car into three different body shops and all said that the window needed to be placed because the scratch was too deep. The owner of the place claimed that he could ‘buff’ out the window (now who should I believe, the owner of a tint place, or three distinct body shops). We paid to get our window replaced (which cost more than the tint job for the entire car), and took it back to ShieldX to tint the new window. The owner then had the audacity to demand payment for the tint job of the window we had replaced and cussed at us when we refused. The professional thing to do would have been to politely redo the tint job for free, since the damage was their fault to begin with, or perhaps even reimburse us for part of the cost to replace the window. Instead, we get cussed at.
Save yourself the headache and go somewhere else.

I’ve been doing a lot of services to my car lately (tires, oil change) and I was beginning to think that every place would tell you ANYTHING just to get you to them. My experience at Shield-​X was a refreshing change. I needed to repair a small crack in my windshield. I called several places and they seemed to be pretty competitive. For the damage I described over the phone, it was $ 45 if I came to them and $ 55 if they came to me. They were friendly and quick. They even noticed another small crack that I had missed and treated that for only $ 10 more. On top of that, they stand behind their work. If the crack does happen to spread, they will fix it or allow you to use your previous purchase towards a new windshield (keep your receipt). Several other places charge $ 70-​$ 80 for that type of service! The only bump in the whole transaction was that they were having troubles with their credit card machine. I definitely plan to go back to have my windows tinted and some minor dents repaired.
