Solar Vision Window Tint has been in the business for over 25 years, providing tinting services to a wide range of clients. And as people who value expertise and experience, we highly approve of their offerings.

What’s interesting about this company is that they don’t only deal with automotive tinting. In fact, they can offer the same type of service to residential and commercial buildings too (but we’ll focus on auto tinting for now).

As for the rates, they charge pretty fairly and we do think that their fees are favorable even for the most budget-conscious clients. Plus, they offer free estimates which are pretty normal these days, but the convenience it offers is pretty fun.

The better news is that you don’t only get to save money, you’ll also save time since they work pretty fast on projects. Tinting service can be done in just over a half hour, although it still depends on their schedule and your vehicle.

Unfortunately, we did find some reports of poor quality work, but more particularly on their customer service. We hope that this can be straightened out in the future as they do carry a lot of promise in their work.

For punctuality and affordability, we have to give the crown over to this humble store. They make the process easy, reducing potential hassle and stress despite the shop’s busiest hours and seasons.

If you are looking for high-quality window tinting, The Tint Guy is our guy for that. With their staff who have a combined 23 years of experience in the industry, we know that they can give you your much-needed window tint.

In terms of the available tinting options, they have four selections of tint shade by light transmission: 50%, 35%, 20%, and 5%. And if you proceed to get their services, you can enjoy their National Manufacturer’s Lifetime Warranty.

We also find it fascinating that they use this system called ComputerCut window tinting to precisely cut your vehicle’s window templates. This we think is how they always manage to deliver sharp and clean cuts which is what their clients claim in the reviews.

Speaking of the reviews, issues regarding the scheduling of appointments were the only poor notes reported. While few of them had a bad experience of not receiving callbacks, there are still many that were wowed by the same-day service they received.

Since we’re on the topic of positive feedback, we also would like to note their quick turnaround time despite them being available every day and in fact, having a long waiting list of clients. This definitely added points to our book.

Finally, besides vehicle window tinting, they also cater to residential/commercial window film installation. These services plus their top-rated customer service are enough reasons for us, at least at the moment, to pitch them as a recommendation. 

Being part of the International Window Film Association, in our opinion, is the edge of Auto Trim Design. Plus, the fact that they’re A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau makes them really reputable in this business.

Now, what’s more important is they’re partnered with Llumar Auto Tint Film, a known brand that blocks 99% of UV. That, for us, is a good thing, seeing that it totally protects the interior part of your car, making it the sunscreen for your automobile (at least that’s what they call it).

Besides that, their clients can also benefit from other things Llumar can provide: a balanced climate, extended HVAC life, and the obvious one, increased privacy. In fact, the said brand actually is one of the best there is that we know of.

Moreover, it is also worth mentioning that they back all of their services with a warranty, while free estimates are also on the table. Although these are both the usual offers, we still find it reassuring that they have this for their customers.

Unfortunately, they don’t disclose anything regarding their pricing system as well as the financing options they have. Good thing, most of the reviews show that their prices are manageable and reasonable for the most part.

Just to give you additional information, the shop also provides a wide variety of car & truck accessories, paint protection, and vehicle signage. To be honest, we are not surprised with the range of their services given that they have been in the business for over 45 years.

One of the premier professional auto window tinting companies in Portland is Elite Solar Control and it’s one of the reasons they made it on our list. It’s safe to say that they are one of the best out there since they carry 3M Automotive Window Films.

For your information, 3M offers some of the most technologically advanced solar control window films available. Knowing this, availing of window tinting from them will surely give you complete sun protection (and aesthetics too).

On top of it all, it’s within our knowledge that they have a great variety of tinting options for you to choose from. This includes color stable series, crystalline series, and our favorite type, obsidian series (all available in different tint levels).

Their obsidian series, in particular, is the one for you if you are in need of high-quality window tint but on a tight budget. It’s simply their cheapest tint but is still worthy (according to their previous and current clients), plus it is backed by a warranty.

Actually, all of their services, including their paint protection, do have a limited lifetime warranty– perks of using 3M Products. Not only that, but they are also maintenance-free since a 3M product has no fading or purple windows guaranteed.

The only problem with them that we saw is their inconsistencies with following up appointments. Honestly, there are still a few poor notes regarding them, but it’s just so small that it can’t affect the overall quality of their service.

Tailored Auto Styling is true to their names as their vision is to tailor every client to their automotive customization needs. The solid 4-star rating they have on Google Reviews and Yelp is just one way that proves it all.

Since they cater to a variety of automotive services for cars and trucks, we expect them to provide works like window tinting, and they did not disappoint. In fact, they offer a range that suits your desired look – be it for privacy, aesthetics, heat protection, or luxury.

Actually, they carry high-end options for tinting, which is an important factor we seriously consider in this type of business. Through STEK and 3M products, the companies that bring high-quality window tint, you top-quality tinting.

However, using such top-notch materials, their clients (as what we concluded through reviews and conducted interviews), have shown frustration over their pricing system. Well, it’s possibly because of the high quotation they received for basic automotive works.

On the brighter side, the shop has been getting good feedback regarding the methods they do for each of their services. Say for window tinting, their staff are very helpful with their clients in terms of explaining every kind of tint shade they offer.

We’re also pleased to know that they give importance to the agreed turnaround time and consistently deliver on time. It’s just that sometimes it’s difficult to schedule an appointment for first-time clients because of their availability, so do take note.
