Custom Glass Tinting

Fast and efficient — very good price. Art was in his usual mood — very entertaining.
They’re straight to the point — overall great customer service and I would go back again if I need any tinting done.

I read the reviews prior to doing business with Custom Glass Tinting. Although there are a lot of negative reviews but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. I decided to give them a try since they are the nearest auto glass tinting in my area.
When arrived, I greeted the lady at the front desk (Barbara) who seemed pretty helpful. There was another older guy there who I assumed was the owner. As I continued to have good small talk with the lady helping me, this guy seemed very grumpy with a dry personality. He never once acknowledged me or smile. Any how, the lady managed to schedule me the same day. I felt confident that I wouldn’t have a bad experience since Barbara assured me that they have been tinting car windows for 20 plus years and they will replace all panels like new after applying the tint.
Well, next is the disappointment. I was happy It only took 20 minutes to tint both driver and passenger side windows. After giving good praise and thanking them on how fast the job was completed the owner still haven’t acknowledged me or crack a tiny smile or even thank me for my business.
So walked to my vehicle and checked for imperfections on the tint and didn’t find any. However, I noticed a scratch on the dust cover on the driver side panel. When I pointed it out to the owner he immediately said it was not a scratch and walked away. The helper attempted to wipe it clean with a cloth but it was definitely a scratch. I didn’t want to argue so I just left.
When I got home, I noticed a part on the floor in my vehicle and to my surprise it was a fastner and rubber cover that they didn’t screw back on the driver side panel. I was so furious how incompetent they were. As for the tint job, so far it looks good. I have to wait two days before I can roll down the windows (Hope my windows work).
I should have listened to the negative reviews and stayed away… Owner with bad customer service + poor quality of work = unhappy customers. My advice is stay away!
Update: 10−9−15 After further review… Bubbles on both front passenger and driver side windows appeared on the tint! Not only this business owner is obnoxiously rude, his quality of work SUCKS!!! To the owner; KEEP YOUR STUPID WARRANTY AND SHOVE IT WHERE THE SUN DON’T SHINE! I’d rather go somewhere else and pay more who would appreciate my business and treat me with respect.

I’ve brought 3 of my own cars here and recommended family and friends to this place and everyone has been very happy with results and price… the owners personality isn’t warm and fuzzy, but he’s not in kindergarten teacher so get over it… have an idea of how dark you want to go… and know it’s illegal to tint your front windows… he’ll do what you tell him, but don’t expect him to give advise or opinions on that… think of the soup nazi of the tint world!

Quoted the price. Stayed with the quote. Came in early the car was done in an hour. The girl at the desk was nice. The job was done great with a five year warranty. Tipped 20 bucks because they took me an hour before I was scheduled. Worried about the other reviews, but glad I took the risk! Tenting is what they do! VW Golf was happy with the job!

DONT GO TO THIS PLACE. Simple as that. I got tints all the way around and in about two years they turned purple. You don’t want purple tints. Not only did they turn purple but after three years they started to bubble up.
I have cars with tints from other places and they’ve been on for 7 years and they still look like they just got put on a week ago.
Don’t waste your money here go elsewhere but not here.
The guy is drunk have of the time too.

Went here to get my windows tinted before I move to Florida. I called 2 days in advance to get a quote and set up an appointment. When I got there at 9am, it seemed whoever I spoke to on the phone didnt write that I was coming in, but I was the first car there so it didnt seem to matter. Since I have to follow Florida’s tinting laws, Art helped me figure out what level I should get for the windows. I didn’t get a time estimate for how long it would take (based on the Unilocal reviews, I decided the more questions I asked, the more annoyed he would get with me), so I walked across the street to Catahoula to kill some time with coffee. My car was done in an hour and I could go on with my day. Overall, it was a very painless experience. I appreciated that Art took the time with me to make sure the tint level I was getting complied with Florida’s laws.

I’ve had two cars done here, and when some bubbling appeared on my second car I took it in and they smoothed everything out free of charge. My dad has been using this location for as long as I can remember, and he has never had a problem with their tinting, or service.

No star if possible I just left this place! I made an appointment to get my windows tinted and the guy was being a total ass hole. Not even funny the way he talks to you like your stupid because he told me if I would have to leave my car there and pointed to the sign and I said ok and then I asked about what time would it be done and he said you have to leave it here I was asking for an estimated time and he gave me a whole lot of shit! Never to be there again… Ever! Your better off in Fairfield or Berkeley!

Got my windows tinted here last week. Here is my experience.
Called last monday about getting my windows done n he (art) quoted me a price. Not the lowest from a shop but definitly not the highest. Pretty reasonable price. He ask when i wanted them done and i said tomarrow. He then said ok come in at 9am sharp! I told him i had to work and dont get off till 12:30. He pretty much said ugh fine bring it in at 1 and hung up lol. Pretty rude but i dont get easily offended. I could definitly see why some people dont like him but i decided to go in anyways. They were finishing up a car before mines so i was next. I asked how long would it be n he said like 2 and a half hours! In my mind i was like wtf?! But i said ok thinkin it shouldnt take that long. Went across the street to grab a bite to eat. A little over an hour later i get a call sayin my car was ready! I knew it would take that long lol i looked at my car and she looked beautiful! Great job! And it was fast! Comes with a 5 year warrenty. Idk if he said it would take that long to be an a hole or wat but my tints came out great!
Long story short, if you want a great window tint job for a fair price come here! Just be ready for a little bit of rudeness and inpersonal service. But hey as long as your windows look nice right?

So my sister wanted her windows tinted for her Xmas gift. I read the reviews, he has been taking a beating lately. But, I had a very good experience with him so I went back here, expecting the same grumpy old man.
He was actually nicer… I don’t want to say nice, because that would be a stretch. But, definitely nicer. I came by, he gave me a quote, took the keys, and gave me a call a hour later when it was done.
When the job was completed, I had to ask for a receipt (kinda weird he didn’t offer one). I got back in my car happy with his work. Then I couldn’t find my phone. I went back in asking about it. Art went out of his way looking around his office to see if I had dropped it anywhere. He got down and looked under his desk and scanned the office. That was wayyyyy more than I expected.
I later realized I left it at home. But he made a really good impression all around. He was fast, gave me a reasonable quote, and did a great job. So I decided to do him a solid and give him a 5 star rating.

Do not worry about the previous bad reviews. Art is amazing at window tinting! He tinted my car 14 years ago (windows still look great and complimented his work), recently my step-father’s car, and my new 2014 Camry this past Saturday. If you are nice, Art is nice back. His office worker is sweet and very pretty :)
Satisfied with the work done and would recommend this business to everyone.

This place is over priced and the owner is an asshole. He does ok work but it’s not worth it to be over charged and miss treated.

I have had two previous cars tinted here before and never had any problems. Not even with rudeness that people repeatedly spoke about. BUT, why is there always a but. This last time I got my cars tints done was a whole different experience.
My husband took my car and they quoted him a great price for 7 windows. But when we got home my husband couldn’t get out of the passenger side of the car. SO I had to go around and let him out. He called and a rude man answered the phone and my husband asked if they removed the door panel and because the car is damaged and wasnt when we took it in. Instead of saying bring it back so i can take a look or SOMETHING other then bring it tomorrow evening. My husband had called again to ask the hours and they didnt answer after he just got off the phone with them. We called back again and nothing. We had to end up taking my car somewhere else to get the door fixed (which was only a spring not put on correctly).
The tint however is awesome. My advice is to double check before you leave that your car is in the same condition as you left it. Because they wont make the time to fix it,

The man who tinted my windows is named Art. Such a nice name for an asshole who knows nothing about customer service. After noticing tiny bubbles on my windows days later, I called him and asked if he could help fix it. I dropped off my car and came back 3 hours later. Laaaawd! I was pissed when I saw my car. Arr had removed all the tint from my windows. His excuse? «I don’t have time for this».
If youre thinking about going here to get your windows tinted, do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. The owner is a jerk.
F you, Art. F you from the bottom of my fu@king heart.

Got a fix it ticket and had to get my tints removed. was quoted $ 20 on the phone and in person again when dropping off my car. his guys immediately started on my windows and got it done in less than 5 minutes.
when i went into the office to pay, he told me it was 40 dollars. i replied that he quoted me 20 twice and he said that this price is PER WINDOW. he would not budge and was extremely rude to me when i said that i felt deceived.
the way he presented the price was deceptive on purpose and he made me feel like a jerk for trying to pay less than 40 bucks for his guys’ 3 minutes of work. Total rip off… do not let a business man like this make money unless he can improve his customer service

Great limo tint on my Honda. Quick and easy, dropped it off and picked it up within and hour. Nice people, no complaints. If definitely bring other cars here. Reasonable
Pricing too.

Custom Glass Tinting (Art) has done all my vehicles and there’s been a lot. Highly recommend this place for quality work. Thanks everyone!

These Guys are Great!
Their ATM system was down and they actually drove me to my bank so I could withdrawl money from my account and not get charged! The price was great their customer service was great the job was so professional and fast! I honestly do not know why this place has such a bad wrap I got 3 of my cars done the same day and they were so efficient and the job was done flawlessly! If you guys want great work and even better pricing you guys better come here! I got 2 of my jeeps and a Nissan Altima done! Young lady receiptionist was super friendly very talkative and funny! It sure does not get any better than this! The tints also come with a warranty! Wow! Who else does that… nobody! You guys better come here because I will know if you have bubbles on your tints you sure did not come here! These guys are great!!!

My hubbie went to get windows on his NEW car tinted… now mind you, my husband is very meticulous when it comes to everything so, he will notice just about anything when it comes to his car (or anything else for that matter).
Well… the tint job was satisfactory, the customer service was acceptable… but what about the damage to the car!!! When we got it back home, my husband did a «walkthrough» of his car and there were all types of scratches (interior), screwdriver marks, and a scraped front-​lip. WTH?
It just seemed like there was no «quality» to the workmanship. They got the job done… yes. For a reasonable price… yes. BUT! If you want repeat business or great referrals… please for the love of God, QUALITY PEOPLE!!! QUALITY!

I’ve always overlooked Art’s poor customer service because of his reasonable prices and good work. But today’s experience has lost me as a customer from here forward. Additionally, I always referred friends to Art but with warning about his people skills.
Well, a few months ago, maybe two months ago, I had my two front windows on my Scion XB tinted after fixing a fix-​it ticket. Art charged me $ 80 for both windows, which I felt was reasonable. As a condition of my obsessive compulsive disorder, I wanted to get a back window tinted to match my other windows after a break-​in at a BART station. Please note this window is nowhere near the size of a normal window. I expected to pay $ 25, maybe $ 35 max.
I pull into the shop and Art and his friend are sitting on their car shaped sofa drinking beer. Art doesn’t have the courtesy to walk over, but instead asks from the sofa, what he can do for me. I explain what I want done and he quotes me $ 50. I was bewildered, $ 50 for such a small window. I began explaining that he charged me less for a larger window a few months ago. He begins saying that it wasn’t him and he wouldn’t charge such a low price. He went on further to say that he charges $ 20 just for pulling up to the shop. I honestly couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
I’ve had loyalty to this man, referred friends, and put up with his poor customer service, but I’ll no longer support this poor excuse of a business. I rather spend 25 minutes driving to the North Bay and have a different business treat me with respect, provide exceptional workmanship and customer service, all while Art and his friend sip Corona’s.
