Would strongly bolt recommend this place.

Im a owner and enthusiast of a 2011 Subaru STi. Took my vehicle here for ceramic tint on the back 5 windows since im having a baby soon. He did an amazing job and it took him about 90 mins. He has a machine that cuts the tint out to the perfect shapes for your car so no blades ever touch the car. He was cool with me watching since im super anal about my car and he really knows what hes doing. He explained the techniques he used and the advantages to them. The service over the phone was awesome when i set the appointment which was super short notice. He got me in the next morning. Im very technically and mechanically inclined. I do my research and have a strong knowledge of the subject at hand before doing something on my expensive car. He was able to answer all my questions and left me confident on my decision to schedule this job with him. He went the extra mile and filed down my roll down windows edges at no charge. At the end when i paid he asked for less then he quoted over the phone, i made up that difference with a very nice tip from a customer that will return. Its been about a month since my windows were tinted and clarity is excellent, no bubbles and compared to other cars ive had tinted this is the product im most satisfied with. Awesome job tint professor!

He has done the tint on my Mercedes, Mustang and Jetta and its turned perfect every time! Great price and work :)

I have had many different vehicle windows tinted in the past and finally found someone that I can count on to do a great job. I have been a customer of Dans at the Tint Professor for over 5 years now. He has tinted my Camaro and Denali, my parents vehicles and several of my friends vehicles.
What I love most about Dan is that he always offers the lowest price possible right away and can always set you up with an appointment in an appropriate amount of time. When Dan is helping you, you feel like you are his only customer and all his focus is on you and that is how it should be no matter how busy he may be!
I will continue giving Dan my business and referring all my family and friends to him, he does a great job!

My experience with the tint professor was great! He was very informative and welcoming over the phone.
I described to him what I wanted and he gave me a great recommendation on the tint at a very reasonable price.
Took my car in at 9 and got done a little past noon, which I really did not mind because it indicated that he was taking his time to do the job right.
Overall, very satisfied with the work. My car looks awesomee! No bubbles or scratches and I can see perfectly at night. haha
Dan did a great job

I’m following up on Tint Professor’s performance. On October 23, Dan from the Tint Professor called, presumably in response to my contact with Groupon. The call failed while he was leaving a message on our answer machine, but I had his number on file. I responded to him on the following day (the 24^th) and left a message on his machine. I have heard nothing back from the him.
I had the car repaired at my local mechanic. Groupon stepped up to provide excellent customer service by refunding our money.

After listening to my friend complain about my windows needing to be tinted, I finally purchased a groupon and got a great deal on having my back three windows tinted.
I can’t believe the difference, but I’m a total tinted window convert. Which I should already be, since this is the second car I’ve had with tinted windows. But I digress.
I was able to get an appointment when I needed (around the holidays, even) and the service was quick. I had my little one with me, as well, and let me tell you, nothing kills the deal quicker than a bored kid.
Customer service was great, Dan paid attention to details and I was in and out within an hour. All around excellent service. I know they have a detail side, as well, but I didn’t get the sales pressure. In fact, I had to ask about it, which is kind of funny. I’m pretty OCD about my auto detail, but if I was in Roseville and needed work done, these would totally be my guys for detail work.
All in all, get your windows tinted here!

After purchasing the Groupon Deal about a month ago, as user P.F. did below, I had my appointment on the 28^th Friday of September. My experience wasn’t that great as well. My appointment was set at 11 am that morning, when I had arrived, I waited about an hour before they started on my car. I felt that they were rushing as Dan stated they were behind. After completion which took an hour, he sent me on my way. Honestly, I felt like he was just trying to get me out so he can work on another car. One thing I didn’t do which I should’ve was to read the review here to be more informative about the company. After inspecting my windows again, I noticed a lot of debris and residue of the liquid they use. The tint looks good from the outside but from the inside some areas where lifting, I just kept in mind that it should cure as he stated to leave in the sun. One thing that really irritated me was that they scratched my glass. From how they were applying it, they scratched the outside of my glass, both front driver side and rear driver side glass. The scratch is about 1.5 inches long. I did noticed some areas had debris under the film as well. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Used the Groupon. I was assured by Tint Professor that they would do a good job, and that I wouldn’t have problems with blemishes, bubbles or debris behind the film (I had these and other problems when I had it done at Acme Tops and Tunes with my last car). So when I went to Tint Professor I told them to please be mindful of those issues and to keep that from happening. I simply asked them to «Do a good job, please.» They told me it would be perfect.
Well, when I got the car back I was astounded by a number of grease/​dirt marks all over the roof lining (from an installer who did not care that he was rubbing his sweat and dirt all over the roof while installing the film). This is a brand new car. I brought it to them spotless. In addition, every door was coated in a layer of whatever liquid they use to put the film on (I was told when I called to complain that it is baby shampoo). It was a shoddy job and I could tell that they really rushed through it because of how busy they were with the Groupon. I have had nothing but bad experiences with Groupon and I vow to never buy another one. But back to the point – I think people should avoid this place.
Maybe if you pay full price (which is only $ 50 more) they will do a decent job. If I knew they were going to do such a poor job I would have never gone to them. I found 1) specks of dirt, 2) HAIR! and 3) random unidentifiable crap between the film and the window on at least three of the five windows they did. It just baffles me that a business can do work like this and think it’s ok.
When I called they told me that they were willing to fix the issues. I have not had time to go back nor do I even want to deal with people who take so little pride in their work, but I will have to go back since it’s driving me crazy to look at. It takes at least four hours for them to do five windows. I don’t know when I’ll have another free Saturday or Sunday.
If for some reason you go here tell them that you want to inspect their work before you pay. Pay close attention to the edges and look for crap stuck between the film and the window and don’t leave until you are satisfied that they did their job and did it well. The film comes off the sheet spotless (I’ve seen a friend do his own windows) but it requires one to be very careful during the application to avoid any debris sticking to the adhesion side. Clearly (pun intended) the folks at Tint Professor hope that their customers won’t have an eye for detail. Don’t go to Tint Professor to have your windows tinted, or you’ll get a lesson in disappointment.

After listening to my high maintenance friend complain day after day about how the sun burns him while he’s sitting shotgun in my car, I decided that paying to get my windows tinted was worth more than hearing his screeching complaints.
The Tint Professor did not have their sign out and the building had a different name so of course I drove by it… Good thing I have well tuned instincts since I turned around quickly to scan over the buildings to find my destination. At this time, a random man stepped out to the sidewalk of the street with his arms stretched, waving at me, so I turned into the lot hoping to pick up a new boyfriend…
Just kidding.
It was Dan from the Tint Professor. I couldn’t believe he knew I was his customer! After stepping out, he warmly greeted me and directed me to the receptionist before leaving to work on my car. This woman was also very sweet and proceeded to explain the process to me and went over the tint and the warranty.
Dan came back to the lobby where I was waiting to tell me that the two hour process would be cut down. I sat on the couch while listening to Pandora, which they had playing on the TV. Another customer was sitting on a couch near me, snoring quietly. I thought he was silly, but after 30 minutes of studying, his current status looked appealing. I sat in a relaxed position on the couch and ended up dozing off.
I woke up and Dan walked in teasing me about my cat nap. He can judge all he wants; he was just jealous.
But another man that worked there approached me and asked me about my detailing needs. I told him I barely get my car detailed… but what I really meant was that I get it done for free and I wasn’t interested in the service.
After a few minutes, the same man called me over to look at my trunk, as the detailer polished part of the paint. He was trying to sell me by showing me how nice the polished paint looked compared to the other side… Okay…still not interested.
Overall, the process was easy and the service was very friendly. Could have done without the extra selling of services, but I respect the attempts :)

Dan at The Tint Professor is very professional and gives you the best advices if you need help in deciding which tint to go on your car. They only use high end products and the end result is a satisfied customer. I would highly recommend The Tint Professor.
