Special-T-Tinting

Keep calm and get your car tinted! Special t tinting is by far the best place to get your car tinted! Keith is GREAT! love the way my car turned out! GREAT hospitality and customer service skills! Can’t go wrong with their price! ;) look at all the reviews! And right below I see my bro in law! That’s how you know your in good hands if you want your car tinted!

Keith, who runs Special T-​Tinting has 21 review. All 21 of them has five stars! It’s obviously he’s doing something right and he’s good at it. I brought in my SUV and had every window tinted, including the sunroof and the front windshield. The front windshield has a clear UV tint on it, you can’t tell it’s on their. It’s incredible how much heat and UV it keeps out. I had a pair of those sunglasses that changes to darker shades when UV hits it. I thought it was broken because it wouldn’t change inside my car. Come to find out, it was the front UV tint that protected in my interior was also the same reason my auto-​tint sunglasses wouldn’t turn darker. Amazing! I would highly recommend you tinting your front windshield with Keith!

Special T Tinting is top notch! Keith is the man! his price is very generous for the quality of the product and the service! He will tell you straight up and won’t give u the runaround! I would recommend him to anyone that needs quality tinting! plus he gives you some tips on how to detail your car. Most tinting places will tell you to wait to roll down ur windows. At Special T you can roll them down as soon as u leave the property.

Keith and a guy ONLY take 2 cars a day, so they pay full attention to the details. They are not rushed to finish one car to the next.
Price is competitive to other tint places. (Do shop around for the quote!)
They only use highest quality 3M ceramic material with life time warranty.
This is the ONLY place includes SUNROOF tinting for free.
Make appointment one week ahead!
I ended up getting multiple car discount :-)

Hands Down the best tint shop in the state.
Keith has always been good to us and has always gone above and beyond on service.
If you need to tint your vehicle, there should be no second thought about where to go.
GO SEE KEITH!

Keith is awesome!!! Real down to earth cool guy!!! I had my car tinted by a family friend within a week of getting my new car. I wasn’t happy with but I just wanted it tinted. I got referred by a really good friend to call Keith. It was the best service. I waited in the shop, talked stories as Keith & his worker Lyle worked on my car. As I started chatting I knew I knew Lyle from before. Sure enough he was a good friend’s nephew. I could roll down my windows the same day! Lyle showed me before I left. I gave Keith my payment along with a tip for their awesome service!!! I’d recommend this show to anyone & I’d come back as long as the shop is around!

So I haven’t written a Unilocal review since January 2012 – I’ve been silently lurking here daily, I promise! BUT WOW, Keith was able to bring me back from an almost 3 year long Unilocal hiatus to promote his flawless handiwork! When he told me he stopped advertising his services years ago, I definitely felt the need to help spread word of the ABSOLUTELY AMAZING work he does. Despite cutting back on advertising, he continues to have a steady stream of customers (I had to book my appointment 3 weeks in advance!), so you know that definitely speaks novels about their quality and overall customer satisfaction!
Anyway, as a very recent first-​time new car owner, I want the absolute best for my new baby… Special-​T-​Tinting IS THE BEST. The shop is tucked away right behind Pacific Home, and while not the cheapest tinting service out there, I can guarantee you, THEY’RE GREAT. No bubbles, no issues, no worries! I swear my car is SO much cooler and comfortable thanks to the super-​professional job they did! Keith is down-​to-​earth, honest, knowledgeable, and I believe his prices are fair, if not generous, for the high-​quality work done. I couldn’t be happier!
tl;dr
Keith is absolutely AMAZING at what he does, and I highly highly HIGHLY HIGHLYYYY recommend him to anyone looking for the best tinting service for their car! You can thank me later :)

Have you ever heard of the term OG (Original Gangster)? Well Keith is the OT (Original Tinter).
Have you ever heard of some guys who tell you they can tint your whole car about an hour and that you have to wait 24 to 48 hours before you can roll your windows down? More than not, it’s because they don’t take off any panels and just shove tint down the window not knowing if the tint is 100% on the window or not. Sometimes they even cut the seal. How do I know? Let’s just say it was a lesson learned.
After having that bad experience I came across Keith of Special T Tinting and he took the time to explain how he does things and why. It was going to cost a little bit more and take a little more time than some of those fly by night guys. Yes the guy who did my first tint job closed his doors a little after a year of opening.
Keith and his crew carefully take off the door panels and thus making sure the tint is on good and wont get caught in the window tract. The best thing is that I don’t have to wait a day or two to roll down my windows.
They have a small handful of tint which makes it less confusing on which one you should get. They have tint that that blocks out the harmful UV rays and keeps your car cool.
As long as these guys are open, they will always tint my cars. Five stars on a hot and cloudy day!

These guys are solid. True craftsmen who take pride in their business. They do 2 full cars per day and take their time to do the job right. I will take all my cars to these guys in the future rather than the big name guys. They know their stuff and make sure you will be satisfied with the results. You can find cheaper stuff, but I guarantee it will not be a better product or workmanship. Be sure to make an appointment and get directions, it is a little hidden. 5 star, easy.

Special T Tinting and Keith are excellent! We’ve had three cars tinted at Special T Tinting and a lot of audio/​visual upgrades put in our first car (4runner) when they used to do that sort of thing. Can’t imagine taking our vehicles anywhere else for tinting. Keith is always professional, reasonably priced, and friendly. If anyone ever asks me where to get tinting done I always recommend Keith.

Great tint job. Uses high quality tint, solarguard one brand. No confusion, bronze tint, lower quality, better quality, just the best. I got it for burning arms while driving, we tinted my wifes car first. You will immediately notice the car being cooler in general and no more burned arms. Then I took my odyssey in, then my sisters car in. Get your car tinted, you will never look back. Keith explains everything and gives you a fair price.

I just had my 6^th car tinted by Keith. He always does an epic job. Great prices, best tint material available, and the best workmanship. The tint on my car (not done by Keith) was starting to wrinkle, so he took off the old tint and put on new tint and the car is so much cooler. The new stuff is magic. I think my car goes faster now!

This is my first review ever on Unilocal but i thought i write one about special-​T-​Tinting. This place is amazing, the location is different now. They are no longer located at that address above, their located 420 Ward Avenue little more down from their old location. Keith is the coolest guy ever and the workers are amazing, its a small place but they get the job done. Suggest you make an appointment cause his pretty booked. When i dropped my car off he told me about 2 – 3 hours, so they called me and i came back and i saw them just finishing cleaning my car (which i never expect lol) the tint was great! he goes above and beyond what other tint places do and you can roll down your windows that same day! Highly recommend going here. This place is like best kept secret lol.

Quick Tips:
Cash payment is welcomed!
You can roll down the windows right after the tint job! You don’t have to wait 24 – 48 hours like the other shops ask you to!
Appointment:
I actually had my brother’s friend call in to make the appointment for me (which I now greatly appreciate). However, just like the photo says, they can be reached at 593‑9077. I had two weeks to prep my car before the tint went on. I was basically repainting the pillars in my car before the tint went on so I wouldn’t accidentally spray the window and — game over.
Product:
I believe the team carries and recommends ceramic tint which is basically the best you can get in comparison to the other films available which do not block out as much as you would hope. It greatly reduces the heat in your vehicle. Trust me, I went from no tint (sauna status) to full tint (even the front windshield) and now I’m like, «Oh $#!T, my A/​C actually works? I just thought it was a fan blowing hot air this whole time!» Depending on the type/​class of tint you choose to go with, you may have a limited lifetime warranty that comes with it!
Service:
These guys are great. Originally, my appointment was at 11. Luckily, just as I arrived at 10:30, someone was picking up their car and heading out — meaning it was my turn! I pulled in and he knew exactly who I was even though I haven’t spoken to him via phone or anything. Keith could tell that I was interested in a lot of DIY so he briefly explained how easy it is to take off certain panels in my car that I was struggling with for the LONGEST time. Keep in mind, they remove panels to get better tint coverage on your windows/​windshields. They don’t take shortcuts here. High quality.
The service took about 3 hours. I’m assuming they may have taken a lunch break. At least, I hope they did. Otherwise, I should’ve brought them some. I went to pick up my car at about 1:30 and paid him cash like I said I would. All the windows were tinted legally to my knowledge and he walked me out to tell me not to worry about some of the marks that I see in the tint because those will go away over time.
We ALL then fell into this long conversation about tuning and how it was back in the day when all these guys were so into racing (and I’m sure, they still are no doubt). These guys not only did top notch work on my tint, but they gave me driving lessons and a lot of knowledge that I would not have gotten from anyone else. I really appreciate everyone who pointed me in this direction because not only do I feel cooler (literally), I also feel wiser.
Note: I’ve heard there is some very minimal «haze» during night driving with the front windshield tint. However, when I drove around tonight, I barely noticed it. We just don’t want to get your hopes up too high.

Great tint! Great service! No one better at what Keith does!

My tint was starting to peel (after six years) and I had to get it replaced. The tint I bought has limited lifetime warranty but the shop I originally went to install the tint closed down. I had to call manufacturer «solar guard» to file a claim and I was directed to the local office. When I went to file a claim there was already another person being helped. He offered to let me go ahead of him. Once I got my paperwork done dealer gave me a list of shops I could go to. He also recommend me to go to the person he was helping’s shop. He gave me his business card and suggested I go to his shop. His name was Keith.
I called and made an appointment at noon. His shop is not that easy to find if you drive too fast because it is shared with other people. You should see in big red lettering «STT» and it is right across from Wrench Werks. Keith took my car in and told me to come back in two hours. When I came back he was putting the finishing touches on my tint and cleaning my windows. I asked why my tint was peeling and he explained to me that when I wash my car I should clean the windowsill which will prevent peeling in the future. He also showed me how different tints works with his uv light machine.
I will definitely come back to get my front window tinted. Great place to go.

5-​STARS ALWAYS
My expirience here was AWSOME. keith was funny and honest would not go anywhere else for tint
brought my car in to tint one day and he showed me the best tint there is on the market (solar guard ultra performance) ceramic tint that cuts ALLOT of heat so i wanted it since im having a kid and i did not want it to be hot for the baby and i dont like to sweat when i get in my car. job took about 3 hours and when i saw the finish product i had to step back and say wow Keith you did a awsome job. He took the time to do Quality work and he did it the RIGHT way. there was overspray on my front windsheild from a previous bodyshop and he also took the time to take that off to make my car look even more awsome. Go to keith at special t tinting, best prices. HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!!!

I actually didn’t get my car tinted here, but I give this place 5 stars anyway. Our car was originally tinted in California, where the tinting rules are different. When we brought our car to Hawaii, the tint on our back window was too dark to pass the safety inspection (In Hawaii, the rear window for sedans have to allow 35% light pass through +/​-​6%). Sooooo, I had to find a place to remove my back window tint.
I drove around to three different tinting companies in the area (based on Unilocal reviews) and I liked Keith at Special-​T-​Tinting the best because he just seems so HONEST.
Keith inspected the original tint job and told me how it was so poorly performed. For instance, they didn’t take off the door panels and place felt on the rubber window guard – as a result the tint gets scratched everytime the window goes up and down. Secondly, they didn’t protect and prepare the back window properly, causing damage to the heat lines.
Keith’s pricing was very fair and cheaper than other places. It cost $ 20 to remove the back tint. When I asked him about putting legal tint back on in the future, he encouraged me to shop around and didn’t try to sell me.
His shop doesn’t look like much (it’s a simple garage), but you can’t beat his honesty and experience (in business for «20 yrs»). If I ever have to tint my cars in the future, I will be coming back to Keith.
BTW, he carries Solar Gard tint.

Honest, informative and really good quality ceramic tint.

Always does a excellent job!
