Mr Tint

Came in a bit late to my appointment, but Ray was still able to fit me in. The price was very reasonable. Ray said an hour and got it done in 45 minutes. Will recommend all friends and family. Thanks!!!

Robert, the owner, purchased Eco Tint and Shade, our original home window tinter.
Eco Tint and Shade made a mistake on one of our 92″ windows. Robert came out right away and retinted the window and another at our request. He was very friendly and professional!
I will recommend his business 10x over to anyone! I am so pleased to have my warranty under his very talented hands!
Thanks again Robert! It was truly a pleasure having you in our home!

Ray does a great job. He is a one man show and handles jobs with efficiency and professionalism. I will definitely refer all of my friends and family to this shop.

He does pretty good work. Reasonable price. We’ve been here with 2 different vehicles. Both times, when we made the appointments, he told us it would only take 20 minutes. Both times it took over an hour, and we were the ONLY customers there. And that’s one hour of actually working on the windows. It would be helpful if he were more acurate with telling people how long it actually takes. Kind of messes up schedules. We’re glad he’s taking his time and not rushing, but… If we come back, we just know to block out 90 minutes for our appointment.

I needed to have my rear window tint removed and re-​tinted. Gave Ray a call and scheduled an appt. for the next day.
Ray was very professional and didn’t try to sell me a bunch of extras, he answered all of my questions and was very patient. A bit later my rear window looked brand-​new.
Quick in-​and-​out and no frills! Highly recommended.

First off, this review is LONG overdue! My family brings all of their cars to this location. I had my previous car’s windows tinted here about 2 years ago and was very happy with the results, so of course when I bought my current car (which came with shot out crappy tint) I came to Mr. Tint.
Always at a fair price, you get an amazing product with a lifetime warranty and a very professional install. A+ for Mr. Tint! I work at a place where I deal with cars all day, I go to school for automotive, and I’m in a car club. I recommend Mr. Tint to all my friends and anyone who asks for a referral. Thank you guys for always doing an outstanding job!
Most recently, they tinted my 2005 Nissan Sentra SE-​R Spec V. My tint is Comfort Series and I have 35% in the front, 5% in the rear. I’ve read online about the keyless entry having interference issues with semi metallic tint, and for me I have not experienced any issues.

I brought my 2015 Prius in here to get Pinnacle 35% all around and Air 80 on the windshield. I’ve read the reviews about Ray’s customer service issues prior to coming in, however didn’t experience any of that. Ray and I chatted for a bit as he started my car, and was pleasant to talk with. Price quoted on the phone was accurate, and car was done on time. I’ve been using Pinnacle on all my previous cars, and the work done was on point. Will be coming back, thanks Ray.

I just had my 2015 Honda Civic tinted here yesterday after my stepdad had his done here too a few weeks back. It’s hasn’t even been 24 hours but I’m really happy with the results and at how fast it was done. Ray took less than an hour to do a great job and was very friendly. I also live in Dana Point now and was going to be about an hour late to my 1pm appointment due to traffic on the 4^th of July weekend. Ray was able to still get me in the same day for a 3pm appointment! I had 5 windows done at a great price, would definitely recommend this place for anyone needing tinting at a good price!

I was hesitant at first based on the reviews of Ray being rude. Honestly he is not the friendliest at first but once he started working on my car a smile appeared and the service was great!
I’m very happy with both service and how my mini turned out!

The guy that works here is a complete ass hole. I’ve done TONS of business in the past here when Jeff Card was at the shop and he had treated me above any expectations that anyone would have.
Sure this new guy knows what he is doing with tint; but so do many others in North County… So if you want to be spoken down to and treated like trash… come on by, otherwise move on to another Unilocal review and find another tint guy that doesn’t hate his job.

Worst customer service by Ray! This guy must hate his job because it really shows! You ask questions & he acts annoyed! You hate your job get the fuck out!
I would have went back to take my VW Jetta only because he quoted me a lower price than Mr. Tint in Esco. But his Bad Attitude Sucks! I’m taking my car to California Tinting. Much more friendlier & they explain everything in detail… unlike this asswipe!!!

I highly recommend Mr Tint they did such an amazing job on my Sentra. They took off my crappy tint I got somewhere else. They removed and replaced my tint for a good price. And got me in the next day after I called for a quote. GREAT JOB!

I recently opened up an office in Oceanside and needed window treatments for multiple glass office doors to add privacy. The owner, Robert, provided the service himself. He did a fantastic job. The price was reasonable, too.
The glass still allows light to go through with the added privacy that we were looking to achieve. Everything looks great and very professional. I will refer all my colleagues and friends to Mr. Tint.

Took my car here at the recommendation of a friend (who also had his windows tinted here). Ray was very helpful and straightforward about what the process involved. He explained the different options (types of film and the various shades) and their prices, and there’s even a demo «lamp» where you get to see how much heat the different grades of tint will keep out of your vehicle. He’s quick too; once he started working on my vehicle (Altima coupe) it only took about an hour to get the whole job done, and it looked terrific.
The shop is a bit hard to find; it’s not visible from the street (N Emerald Dr). Tri-​City Tire is in the front of the shopping center, Mr Tint is in the back. Ray told me that appointments are not required but are HIGHLY recommended. I’ll definitely come back if I need his services in the future.

I have to brag about how happy we have been with Ray at Mr. Tint in Vista.
I took my 3^rd car in to have it tinted. He always does a great job. He wipes down your car and it looks great after all his hard work. Plus you get a lifetime guarantee on your tinting.
We wouldn’t go anywhere else for our professional tinting. Closed on Mondays.

So my daughter needs tint for her rear window — remove the old and replace with new. I called ahead of time to set things up and to get a quote. The person I spoke to quoted $ 130 — which is very competitive and I was satisfied…
Then I ask if I can come in a pay either before or after. I didn’t push for after because that just doesn’t make sense so I asked if I could come in ahead of time. Keep in mind we already had a thorough conversation and the only reason we continue talking is because I remember — as on last thing before I got off the phone — to ask about paying so my daughter could go on her own time and get it done and not have to worry about how to pay for it.
Turns out it’s not $ 130! That was for the basic (cheap stuff). There were two more levels of tint — titanium and one other for which I can’t recall the name. He said I probably have a built in antenna so the mid grade (I think titanium) would not work. This would have been $ 165. So now I’m looking at the top of the line for $ 195 to remove and replace (not the $ 130) I was quoted.
The moral of the story is that once you get there — even if you call ahead for a quote — they are going to up the price significantly and if you don’t take the upgrade you feel like you have inferior tint.
So called on other competitor on Oceanside Blvd. — see my review — and they did hte job with Quality tint — remove an replace — for $ 99.00 flat. Therefore I do not recommend Mr. Tint as the upsell thing is poor judgement and overpriced.

I’ve taken 2 of my cars here and haven’t been disappointed. Ray does an incredible job. Very professional. I’ve always recommended Mr. Tint to all my friends who want a good window tint!

Very quick and professional. I came here because it had the best reviews in the area, and I can see why. The quality of work is phenomenal. They took their time to explain the pro’s and con’s of each different type of film, and figured out which type was best suited for me. I couldn’t recommend Mr. Tint enough. Good Stuff!

This was our second time here for service. Our first visit (it had been years, no knowledge of Unilocal then if it were around), the job was well done. I don’t recall the customer service.
The visit this time around was quick, less than an hour.
But, you need to make sure you ask questions and listen carefully. The reason is the employee spoke so quickly, both my husband and I had to have him repeat the answer to our question. This guy did not go out of the way to explain anything, we had to ask questions.
When we were pulling out of the parking lot, my husband just had an inkling to ask the guy did we have to wait a couple of hours or so to roll the windows down. Well, it turns out we weren’t suppose to roll it down for 2 days!!! After we had paid, the guy handed us papers explaining it was how to care for the tint, but didn’t bother to tell us it was important to «NOT» roll the windows down for «2 «days.
So for you first time tinters or if it slipped your mind for those returning customers, DO NOT ROLL YOUR WINDOW DOWN FOR 2 DAYS.

Great experience! A++
Car turned out great! Ray was very helpful explaining the different options for tint and my car was finished before the quoted time! Each window is hand cut and turned out perfect!
