Monumental Workx

I’ve had a lot of cars tinted at a lot of different places, but I’ll never go to anyone else after visiting Monumental. These guys were extremely helpful, professional and did a fantastic job at a great price.

Excellent service! Best prices I found on a full vehicle wrap, and they were incredibly friendly and helpful. Car was ready when they said it would be and looks amazing! Definitely recommend your shop to anyone wanting to make a great looking car look even better

Reasonable pricing! I asked around and visited couple shops who wrap vehicles and Theo from Monumental Workx gave me the best reasonable price.
These guys works really hard. I gave them a dead line of when I want the car back and they made it possible.
During the couple day proccess, I was able to go work on my car without a problem. They treated me like they knew me for long time. The environment of this shop was positive and friendly.
The car looks amazing! I get compliments here and there! And some thought it was an actual paint job.
There were minor discrepancies with the job, however, they easily took care of it at my own conveniace.
I would recommend Theo and his team at Monumental Workx to anyone.

Setting up an appointment was super easy with them along with getting a straight forward quote within minutes. While dropping the vehicle off, I was given great suggestions and a lot of information regarding window tinting. Which made my decisions for what would fit my vehicle and what I was looking for much easier. Picked up the finished vehicle a few hours later after they gave me a courtesy phone call saying it was done and it’s turned out perfect thus far.
Highly recommend this company to anyone looking for window tinters and will bring my other vehicle to them once funds are available!

Got my tint done last Saturday and they did a wonderful job! No visible air bubbles, and they guided me through the whole process and suggested which tinting would be best for my car.

Awesome little shop that stands behind their service and products. Don’t be discouraged by the appearance of this tucked away garage: I guarantee they’re passing the savings on rent directly to your price. This place delivers top notch quality. The owner is there and does a lot of the work himself and really cares about each customer. He even walked me around the car when I came back to pick it up.
If all that wasn’t enough to convince you that this is the place to trust your car:
I dropped it off for a scheduled appointment after work to tint sides and back. While there, the gentleman handling my order not only gave me excellent advice but let me add my windshield tint on the spot. They were clear about setting expectations and fit in everything (including the windshield) under the original work estimate and I took the car home complete that day.
They know you’re busy and will do everything reasonable to get you in and out in one trip.
Could not praise more highly. Would definitely go back and send anyone in the area looking for tint or wrap work.

Another job well done on my 2016 WRX. 9 windows tinted along with partial tints on the tail lights and the head lights. Nothing has changed here. The crew is still great with a great attitude. Thanks, I’ll be back with my next car…

Quick service. Clean install of stereo. Will definitely hit them up for tints or future services.

I called to get a quote on installing my subwoofers. They quickly gave me one (reasonably priced) and scheduled an apt. They were nice guys and did a good job, took a couple hours longer than what they had originally said and I wish they would have called to tell me that so that I wouldn’t have gotten dropped off two hours before they were done. But they were very apologetic and had Netflix in the office area so I’m still happy with it.

These guys are awesome!
— Reasonable pricing
— Everyone is a pro
— They back up their quality of work; by assuring free service on any issues seen
— They are very dedicated; they initially said mirror couldn’t be wrapped with one piece… Later, he spent more than an hour on each mirror n got it all done in one piece!
— They also gave good advice on how to take care of the wrap
— They have Netflix, Hulu, Sling, basic cable while you wait.

I was impressed by the service here. My girlfriend and I took her Mercedes C250 Coupe here, and opted for 3M ColorStable. Completely missed the place the first time around, but on the second lap one of the guys flagged us down, figuring we were missing it. Polite, professional, helpful, knowledgeable, and FAST. It was an admittedly slow day for them, but they finished the entire car in about an hour. Came out perfect, without any excessive bubbles or scratches in the film. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Got my Infiniti G35 tinted there 15% all around. Came out great, everyone there was friendly and nice accommodations while waiting (netfilx, hulu, etc) Best priced and only shop I called that has life time warranty for free with tint. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely becoming back for some other work!

I had my windows tinted with 3M color stable (35 front, 20 rear) and a ceramic on the sunroof. Car is a 2015 BMW 328i.
They did a fantastic job and offered great customer service. They gave me a solid phone quote, then walked me through all the options when I arrived.
I noticed a very tiny line in the tint on one window. It was so small the tech wasn’t sure if it was a scratch in the glass or something in the film. He could see I was concerned and offered to re-​do the panel without me even asking.
I can see tinting is an art and anything aftermarket is never perfect. These guys take the time and effort to get 99% or higher perfection and will do what it takes to make the customer happy. What more can you ask for? I wouldn’t hesitate to use this company.

I was looking for a place to tint the tail lights on my A4 and these guys got me in same day. Had minor issues of peeling so I went back and they took care of everything for me with no fuss. Very professional and meticulous. I would strongly recommend.

Theo and his crew are the real deal. I had a hard project for them. Take off my old 12 year vinyl decals on my RV that have baked in the sun and then apply new decals replicate color, shape. Theo came to MY HOUSE (wow) and looked at my RV and gave me a quote. After starting the decal removal we all noticed how hard the decals where to take off. He spent way more time removing those decals then had original expect but never changed the price on me. He stuck to the quote and did a fantastic job. I only write Unilocal reviews when someone has either done a great job or a horrible job and Theo Nailed it. Now I can see first hand why he deserves a five star rating on Unilocal

Just had my windows tinted at Monumental Worxx. They do such a great job! They only use products that they believe in and which will save you money in the long run. I have had three cars done here (one with a roof wrap) and I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else in San Diego. Honest guys that do excellent work.

These guys are awesome! I recently just got my windows tinted with them. They also smoked out my tail lights and side markers. Came out perfect as always! This is now the 4^th car I’ve brought to them and every time I leave a happy customer. Highly recommend using them and have already referred a couple of my friends :))

Its been 2 years since I had my car tinted here and their workmanship is solid. I haven’t had any issues at all with the film. Great selection of film on hand– I went with the 3M FX. I would come back for some custom work

I had a mixed experience here.
The shop is run by a few dudes, but I think the guy putting in my tint was among the less experienced guys.
My job was probably above average difficulty — it was a camper-​van with various sized windows. I was getting a combination tint + security film. My primary concern was the security aspect, with tinting secondary.
We had a bit of an argument at the start about whether some windows needed to be removed to apply the security film properly. Based on my knowledge of how the film works, I wanted the window removed so that the entire window wouldn’t simply pop in. Initially they didn’t want to remove the windows in question, but they came around after some discussion. I appreciated that.
The job took longer than expected, but they stuck to their quote anyway which is nice.
The job they did is so-​so. Issues I found on inspection:
1) There were some flecks of material between the tint and the glass, which now create unsightly bubbles since the tint is raised at that point. Simply put, the class wasn’t cleaned enough before the tint was applied. This is tough to fix.
2) The tint applied to the passenger and driver’s windows was cut so that where the window enters the door frame, the tint finishes just above the «squeegee» (the material that presses against the window as it enters the frame, on the outside and inside). This causes a loud «clunk» every time I open the window, since the squeegee slides from touching the glass to «clunking» onto the tint (4 mil, so a bit thick). Other than being annoying, this may eventually cause the tint to separate where it is being pressured by the squeegee, or mess up the electric windows.
3) A few bubbles here and there.
Give the problems, I hovered between 2 and 3 stars. What pushed me to 3 was the attitude of the installers — they were willing to explain things, and were otherwise considerate and fairly professional.

I recently got my Corvette windows and headlights tinted by Monumental Workx and they did an AMAZING job. Their staff is extremely professional, friendly and made my experience A+. I was even offered a phone charger, Netflix and Hulu while I waited. Very knowledgeable folks who genuinely have an interest in what they do and do it to the best of their ability. I highly recommend seeing these guys if you are in the market for window tinting and headlight tinting.

I usually base my purchases on fellow Unilocal Reviewers, and this place is spot on! Not only were the staff very friendly and flexible with my appointment they were very friendly and PASSIONATE about their work. They were able to answer all of my questions and even call when I left to get food that my windows were done! Oh! Plus they are dog friendly in case you have your pup with you! Definitely recommend to others!

Called today at 10:30a and had an appointment for 11:00a. Had to cancel that appointment for personal reasons and rescheduled for an hour later. Once at the shop I was in and out in 30 minutes. I couldn’t be more satisfied with their service. I will be bringing in my other car soon.

WHOOOO! These guys absolutely killed it! I don’t even write reviews (much) on Unilocal,but these guys are worth it. Theo and the rest of the staff are 100% professional and do top notch work. From start to finish, these guys knew exactly what to do, gave me all the options and delivered a window tint like none I’ve seen before. Seriously, I’ve had at least 5 cars tinted before, but nothing as close to perfection as these guys delivered. Don’t hesitate to get your car done here, you’ll thank me! Best in SD!

Nice little tint shop hidden in the convoy area. Brought in my new car fresh off the dealership to get tinted. Learned more about tint shades than I will in my lifetime. However, they were very helpful in showing what different tint shades look like on actual vehicles, not just based on their display samples. Decided on the 35% VLT for all 5 windows, which is the shade just above the 5% limo tint. The uniformity of the tint definitely looks better than having the lighter tint for the front windows.
My bill was a drop in the bucket compared to the Tesla that was there that same day. Ultra High end tinting material for $ 1800!

Thank you Theo for taking care of my new Tesla today, it’s even more beautiful. Being in the referral business myself I have no problem referring my clients over to you.

Theo and his crew are amazing folks that delivered professional results. I brought my car here for the clear bra protection and they did a phenomenal job. I waited on-​site while they worked on my car and from time to time, they would come in to let me know their status. Often time, they would asked me to go and check out the process. I highly do recommend this place to anyone if you’re looking to get your car protected. Their service was just exceptional extraordinary — I’m a completely satisfied customer.

They answered all of my questions, explained the process well. They were quick and did an excellent job! Only good thing to say about this place!

I had my car tinted here and was trying to have the front two windows tinted to match the factory tint in the back, so it’s unfortunate that these guys guys don’t carry more that one option at each price tier. One brand for the cheap dyed tint, one brand for the ceramic, and one brand for the top tier…
As for the actual tint job… after I pointed out that they had tinted over an obvious piece of dirt, the technician tried to tell me that it was in the glass, and couldn’t be scrapped off when he tried or some bologna like that. After some back and fourth he peeled back the tint and the piece of dirt came off right along with the tint. The technician apologized and re-​tinted the window, and it has only been a week but it seems OK now… but time will tell. But the attempt to lie to me and move on over this obvious flaw is what causes me to write this review… I wish people would just be straight forward, and honest about their mistakes especially if they want repeat business… this obviously wont be the last car I buy. They also left a lot of lint all over the place and only wiped half of the windshield down after getting it wet from over-​spray applying the tint to the side window… come on people!
The pictures and the website make this place look a little bit nicer than it actually is, but that doesn’t bother me really, just be aware when you’re expecting one thing and are driving around looking for it. Reasonable pricing and being on time is what keeps this review at 2 stars instead of 1.

I was reffered by a friend who got some work done here. I was excited to see how smoothly it went. Great customer service overall. i would definitely give this place 2 thumbs up and would recommend it ! Thanks everyone for your help ! Definitely will come back in the future for any other service i Need done. Excellent service you guys !

I was amazed to see they had a 5 star rating but then maybe not surprising. I took my old car to have the tint removed. They spent considerable time trying then had to tell me it wasn’t doable — unless they scraped and damaged the rear defroster.
I appreciate their honesty and effort.

I’ve stopped by their shop twice now, with the first visit to tint my stock windows and the second time to install custom interior lights. The first time was decent as Curtis and Theo whisked me in. I was a little disappointed to find out it was slightly more expensive than when SD Automotive Glass did my other car. Curtis, Theo, and some other guys did a really great job on my tint job for the car.
They’ve also got quite the nice setup in the waiting area with comfortable couches, armchair, and a Roku unit to stream Netflix and Hulu to pass time. If you don’t mind the walk, there is a phở restaurant, and a variety of eateries within reasonable walking distance if you don’t want to wait around.
The three stars is justified during the second visit. The second time I came to install, Theo quoted me over the phone for an $ 80 custom interior light installation. However, another Hispanic or Italian guy (Pedro or Pablo, maybe?) who ended up working on my car ended up charging me $ 100 in the end. It was even an hour of his time, and in my opinion, that’s very high for strictly labor. Had I known he was going to charge me $ 100/​hr for labor, I would have gone to another shop. I had already provided the parts, all he needed to do was mount it. In addition to this, he kept fumbling around with the printer; ended up waiting another 15 – 20 minutes while he tried to get the printer to print the receipt. Do I get a discount since I had to wait for you to fumble around the printer? Then, he told me to wait another good 10 minutes because they had to move the car parked in front of me.
**********Updated 8/​5/​2015************:
To address Theo’s comment:
Please don’t lecture me about the stereotypes of Hispanic names; I’m married to one. I just recalled the «P» in his name and I did mention Hispanic or Italian. I apologize as this review was done later than my actual visit and I couldn’t recall his name. There is nothing insensitive about this review as this was my own experience and truthful review. Also, it was not that the printer ran out of paper-​it would have taken a simple 10 seconds to fill it up. I suspect it was not properly mapped to the computer.
Again, my opinion and justification for my review is due to the inaccurate quote I was originally given, and the unforeseen delays. You were very courteous and considerate during my visits, however, my second visit to your establishment was just less than extraordinary due what was said in my previous review.

Brought my Jeep in to have the 2 front windows (driver & passenger) previous tint removed & replaced with a darker shade to match back factory windows. Went from 35% to 20%. They did an awesome job! Great service & pricing! Arturo, Curtis, Theo — they’re all so nice & professional! Definitely come here to have your windows tinted.

I was tired of all the wires hanging around in my car, being used to charge my phone and connect it to the car speakers. It’s a 2002 model and there is no aux jack, Bluetooth, or other easy way to solve this problem. Other shops I went to gave up and told me it’s impossible to do want I wanted to do: install a dock for my iPhone with no wires showing that will integrate with my factory audio system.
Arturo worked with me to come up with a solution and quoted me a fair price, so I went with it. Everything was installed professionally, and I’m very happy with the work.

My fiancé and I came here to get our windows, headlights and tail lights tinted. We were having trouble finding a place who would tint my fiancés tail lights on his truck since they are a little curvy.
The first time we took his Silverado, the next day the tint on the tail lights started peeling off, but Theo already gave us a heads up that it might happen. He called them and they said just bring it back and they’ll fix it, no charge.
Same issue happened with my Mazda3 but they did warn me that it might happen also because of how the lights are so curvy. Brought it back, and again they fixed it with no charge.
Overall our experience with them was amazing. They are very friendly and most importantly they don’t rip you off. Even though we came into a few issues, they resolved them with no troubles. They really do try their hardest to please their clients.
Definitely recommended! ^_^

I had the windows tinted on my 2015 Mazda 3 hatchback. The guys were very courteous and professional. As well as very knowledge about the process. They gave me good advice on what would be the best option for what I wanted to accomplish.
I got the 3M tint with the lifetime warranty that comes with it. The end product looked perfect. They did a great job for a fair price.
I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends.

They couldn’t have made it easier! I called to schedule an appointment and they were able to squeeze me in same day, were super efficient while working on the car, most of the time there were two guys working on the car at a time. Really nice guys and I totally get why they have so many 5* reviews. Car looks awesome.

I scheduled an appointment to get my brand new 2015 Subaru Impreza Sport’s windows tinted.
From beginning to end my experience with Theo and his business was a great one.
Theo and his team are such wonderful people who work hard and take pride in what they do. I appreciated the timely updates on my car and the constant communication between me and the team on how my windows were coming along. These men are very knowledgeable of what they do.
This business is a one stop shop, their services include:
window tinting, stereo/​audio systems, tail light tinting, front light tinting, alarm systems along with more services.
Make an appointment, talk to Theo or any one in his crew and they will gladly help you and explain everything in detail.
They also have roku available if you chose to wait during the process. Do yourself a favor and check them out, these people are the best in San Diego and I am so glad I was lucky enough to find them.
If you want honest work, humble and knowledgeable staff this is your only place to go. Congratulations Theo your «humble beginnings» are definitely paying off.
— V.G.A.

These guys do good work.
Had my GTI tinted, roof vinyl installed,
Tinted break lights and blacked out VW badges. They did a great job, stayed late to do it right. Reasonably priced too so I will be back.

I came to this place because of their great reviews on Unilocal and I didn’t wanna cheap out on some tint. I read that 3M is the best quality for the price I heard that they were an authorized 3M dealer so it was a no brainer to come here.
I called in the morning and they said to come in around 1 pm and they said it would take 2.5 hours or so and they have wifi so I decided to wait and just get some work done. When I got there they went over the pricing and options with me and I decided to go for the more expensive and better quality tint that has a lifetime warranty. (280 total for 7 windows on my GTI) They did a great job and now that it’s been about 2 weeks it still looks amazing. The only issue is that I didn’t walk out of the shop until 5:15 so it ended up taking just over 4 hours. I didn’t really mind the wait, I just wanted true quality which is what I got.
My car has some difficult windows to tint because of the angle so I understand the wait and I will still recommend this place to all my buddies because of the quality.
They also do car stereos so I will be back for that as well. Thanks for the quality guys
Great customer service as well
