Pro-Tek Xtreme Auto Works

Overpriced and poor install. Cuts were uneven. They offered to redo it, and it wasn’t redone correctly the second time either. Gave up because I needed my car back.

I’ve shopped for quality window film installed by qualified technicians and found no one better than the guys at this place. The installer was professional and courteous. I couldn’t be more pleased with the work he did. I recommend this place to everyone who needs their car windows tinted. This company also offers residential and commercial buildings window film too. Pro Tek came highly recommended by a few of my friends. It’s totally worth the drive to the north shore

Not into giving bad reviews, but now that the weather’s getting hot again I really wish Paul Porch (owner, tech, etc) had given better service. The tint I got is way lighter than what he replaced, and working out the details with him was such a pain that arguing over the work he did isn’t worth it. His office gal (Stephanie, I think) was real nice so she gets the star, but that doesn’t really help me now.
Here’s the break down if you’re interested:
Dropped the car off an got a quote of $ 325 to remove tint & re-​tint all the windows. The front windows had to be a bit lighter to pass inspection but the rear windows & hatch glass could be as dark as they were, about as dark as they get (not sure the %). Paul, who I never met, calls & says it’s an extra $ 25 because he’d have to prop up the hatch, since the gas shocks were busted. No prob, I pick up the car and go buy & install new shocks & drop it off next day. Then he calls and says the old tint is de-​laminated so he’ll have to scrape it off which will add $ 25 to the job & will probably take off the rear defroster. No prob, go ahead with the work.
On both of these calls his attitude really sucked. Never did he ask if I wanted the same shade of tint as before, nothing like that. Maybe Stephanie didn’t tell him that I wanted the same tint on the rear of the car, but good service includes attention to detail. So I pick up the car and am dismayed to find that the tint is not right, but then it occurs to me, this is just a pain in the ass to Paul. Two shades of tint on the same car? Dream on! If you have some high-​end luxury/​sports car he’ll probably kiss your ass, but don’t bring in your modest economy car & have him be pleased to take your money, even if you pay in cash.
[I priced out this place & a place called GT Tint in Mandeville. They use a 3M film whereas Pro-​tek uses Sun Gard (I think). Prices were comparable & both films have similar warranties. I used Pro-​tek b/​c they are close to my house & work, but would not again]
