5Star Window Tinting, LLC

These guys do a great job. They work out of a garage in oak lawn. They did my Silverado SS. I recommend.

Very disappointed with the work as well as the professionalism of owner, Kris.
I took my BMW to Kris about 2 months ago to get all of the windows tinted. The price was about the same as some other professional vendors I contacted but I decided to go out of my way because he came recommended from a friend. I had a set appointment to meet ‘at his garage’ where he had 2 of his workers/​friends ready to install my tints, only problem was Kris had the tint in his car and was apparently out shopping with his girlfriend for furniture… so I had to wait an additional 45 minutes or so for him to race back and bring the film so that his crew can install. I made a trek from the Wisconsin border to Oak Lawn (90 minutes traveling each way) so that I can have my tints done right, so I didn’t mind all the initial hassle as long as my tints ended up with professional results. Upon final inspection I noticed a bunch of bubbles and imperfections which Kris reassured would go away once the film fully dried. I know this is very common so I didn’t think much of it quite yet. A few days go by and I notice that ‘most’ of the imperfections went away but there still a few streaks and bubbles that remained. I didn’t care much about these but then I noticed a huge line on my rear glass that was directly in my line of sight when looking in my rear view mirror. This one definitely bothered me. It seems like the film was creased about 6 or 7 inches and still installed… as is.
Now this is the part that urged me to write a review. I called Kris stressing my discontent with some of the work and mentioned the rear glass marking. He proceeded to explain that if it’s the rear glass piece that was damaged it would take just as long to remove and re-​do that piece as it took to do the whole vehicle. Yeah, and? And then told me that he was completely booked for over a month with appointments and wouldn’t be able to get to it for at least that long. Really? I just paid you to do a professional job, which is what you advertise, and now I have to wait over a month to get a botched job fixed?
I never called Kris back mainly for 2 reasons. I didn’t want to wait over a month to get it fixed… and also because it’s too damn far for me to waste my time and risk another inferior job.
Kris, a ‘professional’ company would find time to handle a poor job immediately… and not add insult to injury by making me wait over a month to get it fixed. Also, you were not apologetic whatsoever. You made it seem like it was a hassle from the minute I called you to let you know of the issue. I wasted a lot of my time to get the tints done and paid a professional rate.
I would definitely recommend a different vendor if you’re looking to get a professional job done.

Great guys to work with… Answered all of my questions initially prior to selecting them to do the tints, explained maintenance, great warranty, and had the best price I could find /​shop on the SouthSide. Don’t waist your time going anywhere else.
