Sonny’s Glass Tinting

This place is AWESOME, their pricing is extremely fair and the staff were very friendly. I had the tinting removed on my car and they did a fantastic job, absolutely no scratches on my windows. The service was quick and once more very fair prices. Do not hesitate to go here to have your car tinted or tint removed.

The real deal, experts. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Get scheduled! Various shades of tint and keep it legal.

Recently got the windows of my 2014 Volkswagen Passat tinted and they look amazing. Staff was great in every interaction, the price was the best in a 60 mile area, and the waiting room was comfortable. I’m glad I found Sonny’s and I’m going to recommend it to everyone I know!

I had a great experience at Sonny’s. They were very affordable, and super quick. My windows look amazing! The waiting room could be a little more comfortable, but the staff passed the time chatting, so was fine with me! Thanks Sonny’s!

First rate. Arrived at 8AM this morning. Done at 8:45AM. Legal tint all around my 2012 MINI coupe. Looks awesome, and the price was great too!

If you’re looking for great work and a legal tint, this is the place. I made an appointment and they called to confirm 2 days in advance. I arrived on time and they started immediately. They set the expectation of how long it would take and completed the work 5 minutes before the promised time. They told me exactly what to expect as the product dried. The end result is flawless. The service was great and the price was more than fair. Thank you!

This place does one thing, and they do it well. They have only one grade of tint to choose from and they have «bankers hours» so if you work a mon-​fri 9 – 5 job you will need to work your appointment in. They follow Mass law and do the darkest tint the law allows. They even have a chart to show the different states and rules and regulations for tinting.
I have had two cars tinted there and I have been happy with both cars. My first car I had for 7 years, and it never bubbled or peeled or anything. My second car was done fast and at a reasonable rate.
The place is hard to find as 1. they have no sign out front due to a city law because they are in a residential area, 2. they are behind a house in a large garage and because they have no sign people tend to second guess if this is really the place.
Sorry, my pet peeve here. when I tried to ask the receptionist questions, she stopped me and acted as though she wasn’t capable of answering them and said someone would be right with me. Seriously, they only do one thing with one type of tint, it wasn’t that hard. You can do it!
…and for the person who was upset that Sonny’s wouldn’t go darker than the law allowed, was it really that unreasonable that they didn’t want to break the law? what will happen if you get pulled over? will you take responsibility or will you pass the buck on the business and that it was their fault? I have been pulled over for having illegal dark tint, it wasn’t fun. I got a ticket and had to go to court to prove I had removed the tint to have the ticket dismissed. Not worth it.
Good for you Sonny’s for keeping things on the up and up!

The staff was pleasant and knowledgeable which immediately impressed me from a service standpoint. I was able to drop off overnight and pick up the following day which was very convenient. I was very appreciative that they stand behind their tinting and will only tint to the level allowable by law. I certainly would not want a 250 dollar ticket and have to strip off what I had paid for. This business sets and keeps high standards that they refuse to lower I can appreciate that as a consumer. My windows look flawless and compliment my car nicely.
Many thanks for fielding the additional questions on reputable Clear-​Bra installers ! I will be setting an appointment next week.
I can see why Sonny’s came recommended by my dealership.

Ok, so figured I would right a review to show my appreciation to Sonny’s. I had just moved here and my car was already tinted. Apparently, MA law prohibits tint darker than 35 percent so my car wouldn’t pass inspection after bringing it to dealership. Called Sonny’s, who just happened to be the closest shop and they got my car in first thing the next morning and removed my old tint. They were professional, clean, quick and friendly. also reasonably priced. What more can you ask for.
Btw, anyone who complains that they wouldn’t go darker than the law is just stupid. You should appreciate that they advised you and were trying to help you out. Not worth a $ 250 fine.

Got my windows tinted once and what a nightmare. There was a scratch in the back window and they wouldnt fix. Got an excuse that maybe I put something into the car and it scratched. They dont take pride in their work nor are they professional.
Go else where!!!

I took my car here to get the windows tinted on on May 2^nd, 2012. I had originally come in a week earlier than I was supposed to because I thought I was scheduled that day. They said they would do my car. But I didn’t want to be a problem so I said I’d come in the next week when I was scheduled to come in. They ended up giving me a discount on the price. They are very friendly and knowledgeable. They used the film «Madico Charcool CH55». They did a really good job. I didn’t know anything about window tinting so I went on Unilocal to find a good tint shop in my area. I found Sonny’s and I’m glad I did. The tint looks really good. They only do up to the legal limit which is 35%. That’s good because I wouldn’t want to do business with a shop that wouldn’t look out for me and break the law. I do wish I could go darker but this is fine. So if you need your vehicles windows tinted, take it here. Every vehicle I would ever own, I would take it here to get tinted up ASAP.

Fast and professional service, i was in and out in about an hour. The price is reasonable, clean shop and waitng area. Will prob bring my other car there.

Just had my 4^th vehicle tinted at Sonny’s. Perfect job as usual. Price is great as well.

Wow, it’s a major Unilocal flaw that two pretty spurious reviews of 1 star dragged their rating down so much! Both of those are baloney! Neither person had any work done — they just didn’t like their rates or their hours!
Here’s my experience with Sonny’s: about 3 years ago I arm-​twisted a guy to matching my rear window tint and sure enough, a MA Statie pulled me over, whipped out a tint meter and wrote me up. Sonny’s was recommended to me and so I went there and they stripped both windows, retinted with legal-​level tint, and had me on the way in less than an hour. Didn’t charge me for the stripping, and it was perfect. $ 90. Since then I bought a newer car and they tinted the fronts. In and out in an hour. Perfect. $ 90. On Wednesday they will do another car for me. They are nice on the phone, have a nice waiting room, wifi. What else do you want?
They are really very good, friendly, efficient, and I find them priced very reasonably. 5 stars.

Windows came out great. Took about 1 hour and 15 min. I had to wait for my car but it went by fast. It was entertaining to hear the 17 year old girl behind the desk giggle on the phone with her boyfriend for like an hour. Seriously I thought it was funny, it didn’t bother me. She is a good multi-​tasker!
Anyway, my husband liked how they came out. We wish they could have been a little darker, and we knew a place that would do it but we opted for legal.

I recommend this business to anyone interested in having their car windows tinted. I scheduled the appointment with ease, and they were on-​time the day of the install. The film they use is of great quality and the staff are friendly and professional. The price was fair. Not much of a waiting room so make sure you have a book/​newspaper/​iPad to keep you busy. The process took around 1 ½ hrs.

Quick excellent work and they have been in the game several decades… Also the location u can’t beat… Hope to see u again soon!

I thought I would add another perspective, this time from someone who has actually had two (2) cars tinted by Sonny’s. IMHO, they do a nice, clean, professional installation. They are a pleasant enough group of folks and the Madico tints are holding up well. The waiting room could have better space for customers, but there is WiFi and, in this day and age, that is immensely useful.
I agree with others here, tinting is expensive — but that seems to be the case for Boston (Mass?) in general. In other parts of the country you can get a professional job (with quality tint) for $ 100 to $ 150. I called around and Sonny’s, at $ 185, was actually one of the lower priced. One place I went to (that a friend of mine has «been going to for years») quoted $ 225 plus insisted that I had to pay an extra $ 75 for an anti-​scratch kit! The team at Sonny’s looked at my car and said it was not one of those models that needed it (it was an Altima… apparently, some Hondas, Mercs, Mitsu, etc. tend to scratch tints because they don’t use soft felt for the window guides, just a hard rubber material).
It is also true that Sonny’s will only tint your car to regulation and won’t go beyond that. But I wouldn’t penalize them for simply following the law. It usually takes a couple days to a week or so to book an appointment — but that just shows how much business they have. I figure that is actually a good thing. Hours certainly could be better.
Naturally, the true test is after sales service and support. Knock on wood but I haven’t had to test that with Sonny’s. Hopefully, there will be no reason to need it. Should a need arise I will certainly let the Unilocal community know how the team at Sonny’s comes through.
Overall, I am happy to recommend them.

Sonny’s Glass Tinting sucks.
I know plenty of people who have gotten their windows tinted «darker» than they should. I show up and ask a few questions. «Nope, we don’t do that. 35% is as low as we go.»
Alright, make sure you go sit on a bowling pin and spin. They wanted $ 200 for all windows + rear. I ended up going down to North Carolina (when I moved there) and got it done for $ 120 for 20% all around. Guess what? 5 years later and my tint still looks good. No tickets, no failed inspections, no hassle.
Sonny’s, can you please just close up shop? You suck!
Edit: I hurt the feelings of the company I reviewed. Boo-​hoo. $ 185 for all around is a ripoff when many other companies can do the same work for $ 125 – 150. I review anything I want, so when I remember an experience with a lousy company… I’ll review it. Just like I reviewed this joke of a business.

I had my ’05 Infiniti G35 tinted at Sonny’s a few years back. Sonny’s did a remarkable job, and the car was ready 2 hours after I dropped it off. I had film that provided the darkest tint allowable by MA law (which, I believe is only 35%) installed. While I would have preferred this to be a little darker, the guys at Sonny’s were very knowledgeable and informative about the laws and risks. When the car was ready, as with any tinting application, tiny bubbles still existed on the windows – all of these were gone within a few days, leaving a blemish-​free viewing experience. Furthermore, the interior paneling that had been removed for the installation was reinstalled flawlessly.
As for the prior reviewer’s comments about the shop’s hours of operation – waaaa! The place is a small business. They do excellent work. If you can’t afford to take a few hours or a half day off work to get your vehicle tinted by real professionals, you probably shouldn’t be spending the money to get your windows tinted in the first place… Anyway, you’re free to take your car to a bigger shop where the product will likely be inferior and the application will likely lack attention to detail. All that aside, is it really fair or justified to rate a business one-​out-​of-​five stars because you’re not happy with their hours, and you haven’t even seen their work or their products?
I chose Sonny’s because it was highly recommended by 2 separate people. Do yourself a favor and get the job done right!
