Made In the Shade Window Tinting

Just had my husband’s car done here. The owner was very friendly, extremely helpful in deciding on level of darkness. Did an excellent job and completed the job a 1 sooner than expected. I have friends who bring all their cars here, when they get new ones too.

I’ve been bringing our cars here for years. They do an excellent job for a very good price. They’ve been in Cypress for many years with the same owners doing the quality work and care for your car during installation.

Took my third car in to Tim. He had it done quickly and for a fair price. The first two cars have had the tinting on for several years now and they still look great.

I’ve not only had all my cars tinted by Tim and Made in the Shade, but my kid’s cars, too. Tim’s work is superb, and he guarantees all work and materials for years. It’s a pleasure to do business with him. Highly recommended !!

Tim rocks! Called him today and got right in to tint the windows on my new car. Was done in 2 hours like he said. The tint looks perfect! So happy with it!

Good price and good service. He was ready to work on my truck when i got there and finished on time. Nice local shop.

I don’t usually do this, but I am pretty upset with this place. My dad referred me here and we have brought in at least 5 cars in the past 2 years. I noticed my tint fading and it has been ruining the leather seats of my car, so I took it in. I misplaced my receipt not thinking I would need it and they were everything but accommodating. I explained everything to him and he started to get mad at me. I then asked how much it would cost me to replace the tint and he told me the least he could do was $ 150. Are you kidding me? Great customer service guys!

Good service reasonable price. Most if not all tint will fade is you use amonia type or any chemical glass cleaner Don’t use glass cleaner it is film not glass use the appropriate produce. Just a FYI to people complaining about fading tints be careful specially one being used in car washes but so far so good. Tim is awesome and accomodating with a life time guaranty as long as you have proof, so keep your receipt take a photo and store it in cloud. Two more far to take hightly recommended

I’ve had two vehicles tinted here — my wife’s Jeep and my truck. I had them do my wife’s jeep about 2.5 years ago and it still looks great. Because it came out good and he convinced me that he had a «full lifetime warranty against fading, peeling and cracking», I had him do my truck 14 months ago. At the end of the day — I should have gone somewhere else.
I dropped my truck off in the morning to have it done and when I picked it up that afternoon, the tint looked lighter than what I wanted. He told me that «it would get darker as it dried» so I left with it (not convinced that it would get any darker). I returned a week later and showed him that it still wasn’t as dark as I wanted it (of course it didn’t get any darker as it dried). He told me that there was nothing that he could do to help. I was extremely frustrated at the time and knowing what I know now, I should have made a huge fuss and stuck to my guns at the time.
Fast-​forward 14 months and I took it back to him today (6÷25÷5015) to show him how much it has faded. There is a solid ½″ line along the top of the windows where it was the original darkness (which was too light to begin with) and the remainder of the window is clearly lighter than the ½″ along the top edge. He told me today, «If the color faded to red or purple, I could do something about it, but that is just faded — there is no way to stop that from happening.» I went back and forth with him and finally walked away knowing that he really didn’t stand behind his work like he claims.

Love this place took all of cars over here for many years. Always happy and the they are super friendly!!!

we had our tint done 2 years ago for our Prius and it’s very nice and good. I guess I owe them good rivers not sure how others rated the 2 starts. Keep up the good job

Perfect example of «you get what you pay for». On a budget? Can’t afford a good tint? Then this is the place for you. Otherwise DO NOT go here.
Tint quality is HORRIBLE. Had my tint for less than two years and it completely faded. Had the limo tint done all around and it is now see through. Took it back because of the so called «life time warranty» and his response was, «it is not faded enough». To prove how faded it was I had an «In loving memory» sticker on my rear windshield and when I removed it you could still clearly read the words due to the surrounding tint fading!
Thought maybe I just had bad luck with my tint but that was not the case. Had my mothers and my sisters car done here as well. Both cars are in the same condition. Tint completely faded. To add to the issue one car isn’t just faded but also bubbled all over.
Never going back to this place. Horrible tint and horrible service. Attached photos for proof. The photos show a BMW X 5 with their limo tint all around. Tint faded and bubbles within the year. See the building through the window? Yea not very limo to me and how could you miss those disgusting bubbles.

Highly recommended. Been going here for years with several cars. Tint is high quality and backed by a warrantee that has held true. I get compliments all the time on my tint. And you can’t beat their prices.

I came here upon referral from my brother who has had his truck for 5+ years now. His tint still looks amaaaazing! And he paid a decent price for it.
Tim was really friendly and helpful! I called in one day to get a quote on two cars. He quoted me $ 125 for one car or $ 120 per car for two cars. I didn’t save much, but, hey, the price was inexpensive already. I took my cars in the same day I called! The first car was done in 3 hours and the second in 2.
Tim answered all my questions and assured me that if anything wasn’t to my liking that I could just call him again.
Nothing beats a lifetime warranty.
Oh! His dog was super cute, too! He was so calm – so don’t worry if you’re afraid of dogs.

good prices and decent tint job, but uses poor quality tint.
had my tint on for only 2 years and it turned brown. i took it back with the receipt and asked him if he could re do it and he said no because all tint eventually turns brown. we had our truck for 13 years now with the tint still on it and it’s still black. i don’t see how my tint could turn brown within 2 years if he was using quality film
asked if he could at least take it off but he was going to charge me the same amount it did to put it on… so i learned to do it myself and took it off myself =/

Call for a quote, Tim wasn’t too friendly, as seem as I was interrupting his day. Rude and acting like I needed his services, the only company in the world doing tinting job. Not sure where all these high reviews are coming from, must be friends and family members… Taking my business else where.

I just bought my Kia Optima and it came with the back windows already tinted. I wanted the two front ones tinted ASAP. After finding Made In The Shade on Unilocal,another friend of mine happened to refer me to Tim. I gave him a call and he was making me laugh within the first 30-​seconds. One day later, I’m getting my windows tinted. The prices are insanely good considering it has a lifetime warranty.
Tim is a very honest man and gave me the info I needed to choose which tint I wanted. The end result was a flawless blend from the back windows to the front. It was matched perfectly.
I highly recommend him to family and friends. OC is full of insanely inflated prices and I’m a lucky gal to be referred to a kind professional like Tim.

I would’ve given this company 1 star, but their prices were decent, so I wanted to take that into consideration. Their customer service, however, was absolutely terrible.
I called to get a quote over the phone and spoke to someone who was already a bit hard to understand. He asked me the same questions a few times and when I asked if he had time to get my car done, he had the nerve to say, «I already answered that question, do you really want me to answer it again?»
If you want my business, don’t talk to me like an idiot. I’m taking my business elsewhere.

This is my second visit to Made in the Shade Window Tinting and let me tell you, I’m impressed by how nice these guys are and honest!
I took in the past my 2005 Accord which I still have and about two weeks ago took my 2010 Honda Civic.
I visited Tim, the owner, which he does work on the cars and asked him about pricing for my 2010 Honda Civic. He said «I’ll do it for you for $ 130.00 flat». I was like WOW! That is a deal and I’ll be back to get this done.
I called him and told him that he quoted me $ 130.00 to tint my Honda Civic. He said over the phone, «yes, if I told you $ 130.00 to tint the car, then that’s what I’m going to charge you». Amazing! This guy and his brother are great.
I dropped off the car around 11:00 AM and it was done by 2:00 PM. While I was waiting to pay Tim and the brother were really nice to me. Tim made small talk and asked me where I live and normal stuff.
I live in Cypress as well and will take my third car here to get a tint job. These guys are good and honest plus I’m helping my local small business.
Please try them and see their reviews. They are all really good! These are honest and do excellent work on your car.
Below is my first review when I took my 2005 Honda Accord — Which I still have.

YES! A VERY HONEST BUSINESS!
For any other tint job I need in the future I will def. come back to Made In The Shade.
Tim and his brother are awesome! Tim should be a comedian because the moment you step in, you’re already laughing because he’s clever and silly. You’ll leave like you have known this man for years!
The tint job he did was really good and very inexpensive. You don’t get that feeling of being ripped off when you leave. And that is how you should always feel.
His 2 dogs are also very cute and if you are afraid of dogs, I’m sorry. But they do not bother much. They are sweet and they just do their own thing.
Lastly, LIFETIME WARRANTY! (always a good thing).
