Whether you are looking to invest in car window tint for aesthetic appeal or for health benefits, you want high-quality film installed by experienced tint experts. Like any other industry, however, there are the guys looking to make a quick buck by promoting their services when they’ve got no ground to stand on.
Here at Jet Black Tint, we spend a great deal of time helping clients who were duped by some quasi-professional who learned to install tint stickers by watching DIY Youtube videos. While that sort of hack job may have been fine for our Nissan Sentras in high school, it just won’t do for your brand new BMW 3 Series M340i.
In today’s post, we’ll review a few ways you can avoid the scams and identify a legit luxury car tint shop from the get-go.
Any legitimate window tint installation company will proudly boast about the products they use. If you cannot find what film manufacturers the tint shop partners with, chances are it’s because either it’s a poor-quality product they are attempting to hide, or it’s just whatever they can get their hands on for the cheapest at that moment. Either way, not being transparent about the products they use is a glaring red flag for consumers. For tint shops that do list the products they use, do a little research to learn more about it and ensure that it’s the product you’d purchase.
At Jet Black Tint, we use Solar Gard® window tint film for both vehicle window tint as well as our commercial window tint services. We choose to partner with Solar Gard® for several reasons, but primarily because of the high-quality, durable film that looks amazing and is affordable.

Clients don’t lie. Online reviews are brutally honest and offer the good, the bad, and the ugly. Of course, no company can please everyone — everyone prefers their coffee at different temperatures with varying amounts of creamer, if you get what we mean —, but read through some of the reviews to see what the company does well and what others had complaints about. If the complaints referenced a specific employee or offered a suggestion for process improvement, don’t hesitate to ask if that’s been corrected or if you’ll run into the same issue. If the negative review, however, mentions poor product quality, shoddy installation, or anything about how the operation runs as a whole, it may be cause for concern. Testimonials from customers who have used the company you’re looking at multiple times or mention that they’ve used a different shop before are some of the best reviews to read because they have a better frame of reference and more realistic expectations.
At Jet Black Tint, we are proud that at the time of this writing, our 12 locations have more than 1,000 5-star reviews on various review platforms including Yelp, Google, Facebook, and via our on-site comment box.

You wouldn’t let any mechanic with a socket wrench replace your head gaskets, so why would you let some guy with a tinting business install your window tint? Checking the credentials of the company you trust with your vehicle is essential. All registered businesses should have a business license and carry insurance to protect themselves and their employees, as well as you, the customer. While California business licensing agencies don’t guarantee the conduct or results of a business, it does serve to prove that the company is legitimate and that the business owner has taken the proper steps to serve you. Check their experience and what training is required of the tint technicians that will work on your vehicle.
At Jet Black Tint, our company is verified and authorized to practice in Texas and California, and we are completely franchisable. This means that we’ve got the processes and procedures in place that are consistent between all 13 of our current locations and you can rest assured that our word is printed in black and white. All of our tint technicians attend a rigorous tint school and then shadow a tinting expert before performing work on any client vehicle.
In any service industry, it’s important to evaluate the guarantees and warranties. Life happens, mistakes happen, accidents just happen. With credible warranties to fall back on, you can be sure your investment is sound and you won’t have to worry about shelling out more money. Warranties should be in writing and specific. They should cover both product and craftsmanship. Guarantees are the icing on the cake, but speak more to customer satisfaction and make you feel good about your investment.
At Jet Black Tint, we offer a lifetime warranty on all of our tint jobs. As long as you own the vehicle, you won’t have to worry about the tint we installed. We guarantee 100% customer satisfaction; if not, we’ll make it right.
Legitimate companies are transparent with their pricing and don’t require you to investigate costs, read the fine print, or have a back-end list of additional charges. If a tint shop doesn’t have its prices listed or doesn’t offer a tangible cost estimate and its breakdown, alarm bells should be ringing in your head. When you are offered a quote, ask about hidden fees, additional charges, and add-on costs that may not be included.
At Jet Black Tint, we offer you a realistic quote and honor what we said. Our base prices are clearly listed online and we’ll let you know if your custom charges will be different before we begin the work. Exotic cars may be slightly higher than the prices listed for standard vehicles, so let us know what you drive when you call for your estimate.
When you visit any one of the 13 Jet Black Tint locations, you’ll discover a legitimate tint shop that prides itself on customer service. We stock our shop with the highest quality products and install them with skill and precision. We know that once you leave our shop, our name will be tied to the final product, so we make sure it’s worth showing off. To learn more about us and the services we offer, visit us online or stop by the location nearest you today. Let’s get your ride tinted.
