Employees were nice but I am not satisfied with the work. Numerous air bubbles with debris and scratches. Took it back after a week and 4 windows were redone but still numerous air bubbles with debris. Was told that the national standard says if you can't see it from 8 feet away then it's ok. Unfortunately our standards conflict with the national standards then. Will most likely take it elsewhere to have it done once again.

I was very pleased with the job that Cat did with my system. I came to her with a sub, box, amp, and my existing wiring. Unlike the other shop i visited while shopping around she didn't try to tell me another amp that I really didn't need. She was very professional and the sub sounded great! I was so happy that i got the price that I did. I recommend Affordable tint and more! A+ service!
