Quick and friendly service by very knowledgable people! Got the most amazing tint for my SUV for a price that could not be beat. Thank you Lightning Tint, I highly recommend this business to anyone.

Wonderful couple, super friendly, and the best at what they do. They got me in quickly for paint protection on my headlights, fog lights, hood and inner door handles, then the panoramic roof. All the work has held up through the winter, multiple trips and numerous washes. Awesome stuff!

Got my 3M rock protectant done today, and the staff was extremely kind and informative, with a very good price for the protection provided. 10/10 recommend them for anyone needing 3M or tint done.

1000/10 experience. Super polite, could not have better customer service. They were booked a month out but gave me alternate options and worked with my schedule. Definitely would recommend, could not have chosen anywhere better.

Lightning Tint is the place to go for paint protection. They are a family business, treat you well and are loyal to their customers. They use self-healing XPEL paint protection and built me a custom package: hood, bumper, rocker panels, fog and headlights, even the door handle pockets.

Lightning Tint did a great job on the paint protection for our Crosstrek. I came back for more work, the door cups, door sills and rear hatch bumper, and again they did a great job. I highly recommend this outfit.

Lightning Tint not only excels at what they do, they provide expert advice and great customer service too. Great work, great price, and great service. Will go back anytime and recommend others go see for themselves.
