We have used them twice, back in 2024 and recently this year. 2024 was a great experience but this year was subpar - had a few cars to be done although the tints looks pretty good, the booking experience was a nightmare, just wished it was a smoother experience, still willing to give these guys a go again though. Show details

The best tint in Perth – A big thank you to these guys. Outstanding service and workmanship. Squeezed me in on their busy schedule. Did a fantastic job and the best price in Perth. Highly recommended.

Very Professional On My Car – You hear stories about why it's not the best idea to let the car dealer fit tints to car windows - True or not true I can't say. Anyway, I have used the same outlet before and was very happy. I continue to be very happy with the Taren Point Outlet - I have no experience of any other. The pic was taken on the day of fitment. Any slight… Read more ·  1

water-looking marks showing in the rear quarter in the picture are to be expected for a few days (I can't remember exactly). They disappeared completely as I was advised they would, so a non-issue.

Full lifetime warranty - Excellent.

I found the pricing competitive. I guess you might save a bit by having someone come out, but I have heard stories of dust messing up the job.

Mine have now been fitted for 10 months. The installation is going great. I find them fine in any driving condition, and the bright day shade is appreciated. It's claimed they help reduce harmful UVs but I have no independent scientific checks to verify that.

I went for the darkest and blackest possible - All whilst remaining fully street-legal, which is another reason why I went to a trusted source.

Great Tint for our West Facing windows – Fast, efficient installation. Thom from Hornsby was lovely and the installation perfect. We opted for UV protection with minimal tint which is not noticeable on windows but gives us peace of mind in protecting out new flooring & furniture from the harsh sun. Show details

Excellent Customer service – Solartint Nowra offered us a great service from start to finish, we wouldn't go anywhere else in town... They provided us with excellent customer service from the start, they were able to squeeze us in at short notice, very friendly and helpful staff that explained themselves well in all aspects of having our window tinting done and most of all… Read more

they gave us a range of window tint and shades to choose from to suit our budget.

The job was done within the hour and half which was well under the 2 hours our car was initially booked in for.

They offer an excellent product range and the job was done to perfection.

We also discovered they did house window tinting whist we were there, will definitely be back in contact to have our windows tinted and our bathroom showerscreen frosted.

Thank you to Kat,Jason and the guys that worked on our car.

We are very happy with the job they did and highly recommend the guys at Solartint Nowra :-)

don't bother with ceramic paint protection – I got talked into a 'special' offer including ceramic paint protection when I get my car tinted. I payed $750 for the tinting of 5 windows and the so called ceramic coat. To be fair the tint work seems done Ok (about 5 weeks ago) but the "ceramic paint protection was nothing but a spray n wipe job of some sort since my paint looks and feels… Read more

absolute dull no ceramic protection at all. The whole process of tinting and paint 'protection' was done in three hours... Solar tint might be Ok with tinting stuff but please don't get talked into new car 'ceramic' paint protection. Because of rip off, only one star.

Seriously, don't bother! – I bought a brand new mazda which was tinted at the dealership by Solartint. The tint started to bubble and vision was impaired, especially on damp days. I eventually got them to replace it (lifetime warranty! ) afafter proving who I was and the car actually belonged to me. They then begrudgingly took my car in. I now have a smoke grey windscreen… Read more

and blue grey tint on all other windows. It looks totally different and they basically told me that I should be grateful. This will not end here. Their customer service is an absolute joke.

Disappointing interaction and service – Engaged Solartint Artarmon's representative (Jan 2019) to re-tint my rear windscreen given I had damaged my prior rear windscreen tinting. Not a particularly friendly encounter given the representative didn't turn up on the first agreed date and, when he did turn up, I got blamed for not being organised and not knowing he would need access to… Read more

electrical power. As requested, paid the representative cash for the job.

Subsequently, tried to obtain a tax receipt for the job but was told by the representative that he had no record of the job. It also became apparent (after the job) that the de-mister had been damaged during the repair. Didn't try to follow up on this damage given lack of recognition of the job in the first place.

Terrible Customer Service – Absolutely shocking, terrible service. Despite asking several times, [name removed] the manager didn't explain me the process properly. Rude, discourteous, and non professional.

Shocking service – I asked for a quote from the nowra branch and the girl there [name removed] quoted $350 I said is that a fair quote, she said you can get it cheaper from others in nowra but you get what you pay for, that convinced me to proceed with their services, our 12 hour old brand new car was booked in for the next day, all went well with the tinting,… Read more

looked real good untill the next day when we noticed dirty finger prints inside the roof lining,

I immediately phoned [name removed] to let her know, her reply was we didn't do it and we have a video of the whole job, well anyone can edit a tape and cut out things you don't want the customer to see, anyway we returned first thing Monday morning, the manager [name removed] without seeing the finger prints denied it happened there and cursed me with threats etc. this person has no customer skills at all, he made a big scene over nothing and refused to except responsibility, he demanded we leave the premises, we went to a local detailer who simply wiped the dirty finger prints with a clean rag which took all of 30 seconds and charged us nothing, we will never recommend solar tint Nowra to anyone, the job was good but the after service was nothing but abuse towards us, stay clear of SOLARTINT NOWRA.

Customer Service????? – Thank you to Troy from Blacktown Solartinting, after experiencing poor customer service from another supplier, Troy has restored our confidence in the product and has taught us that not all providers are equal and that one may need to look out of their area if they want a positive experience. We will be recommending this business.

Unorganised – I understand they were running behind and busy at Airport West but when we finally got the car home a part was not replaced back near the window and a scratch on the tint, i forgave them after the next day it was all rectified once i had visited them again. Just annoyed when the next week i took the second car which i mentioned twice would be tinted and they overbooked so could not tint it. Fab

Excellent workmanship and $$ – Great customer service, product and pricing at Solartint Blacktown. Installation took about 90mins, quality of workmanship was excellent. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

More than happy – Nowra solar tint did a great price, quick service with a loan car (so rare nowadays!) Super happy! We got windows tinted, paint & leather/suede protection.

Charcool look! – Happy with the service, price and installation would recommend people to have their cars tinted. The team at Sydney city tinting were professional and asked all the right questions, my car has the antenna built in the rear window and made sure I selected the correct tinting not to interfere with the radio reception.

Disappointing & Bad customer service – Had to chase them (Penrith Branch) initially to book in the job. When they came to do the job (commercial) they cracked our front door, then tinted over it and claimed it was already broken (why would you tint over broken glass!). They left without mentioning it to anyone and denied breaking the glass. Is now being evasive and having difficulty in resolving the problem. Not recommended.

Unprofessional – Unprofessional customer service, I had a booking for 9am, I was almost there and received a call at 9am saying they are running behind and to come at 10am. I arrived a few minutes late and when I got there the shop was closed up. I gave them a call and they said they had already left as they finished up their last job for the day. They didn't even… Read more

give me a call to see if I was still coming or to let me know they were closing up. When I explained I was there they did not even apologise for closing up early without informing me.

Solar Tint Airport West branch – Great customer service and experience from the guys at Airport West. Called up and explained to them it might be a bit difficult to get in during the week, so they gave me a booking on a Saturday. I thought since it was tint, paint protection and leather protection I might not have a car for the weekend. All the work was done within a day and haven't had any issues since. Good service at a great price too

Great service at a great price – After getting a quote from a dealer, can say im glad I went to these guys! For nearly half the price quoted by the dealer, they did the job & car came out great. Funny thing was some of the dealers cars were in the workshop too!

Great job guys! – Had an great experience today, everyone else was closed and the boys managed to fit me in at 4:30pm. The job was done in a couple of hours and was floor less. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking to tint there Windows.

Great Job – Solartint Nowra did a great job on my new Mazda. Very professional and very friendly to boot. The job took a little longer than stated so was given a very generous discount. A family run business. Highly recommend this location for your tinting requirements.

Warranty not worth the paper its printed on – Purchased car window tint in Nov 2008, with a lifetime warranty. Well, the back window tint began bubbling, so I took it back to the installer. He was very happy to replace however wanted to charge me for the labour ($100). Under the warranty I have, there was no charge what so ever, however today (2016) they use a new receipt book that have a… Read more

whole page of terms and conditions that stipulate that this doesn't include the cost of labour. Whilst this doesn't effect me as my warranty is what was advertised on the day of purchase, it does however cause me trouble because this is what the installer is relying upon. Unfortunately another claim with the Dept. of Fair Trading! I have already spoken to them, and it seems to be another open/close case in my favour. Just a huge waste of my time chasing up!

People: Solar tint's lifetime warranty doesn't include labour. Labour makes up 90% of the cost. I have learnt today that their opposition advertise a lifetime warranty that includes labour. Cost is comparative.

Fantastic job, Solartint Blacktown, excellent service with a smile – I wasn't sure where to take my brand new Kluger. There were some mixed reviews here. I wanted to get the car tinted ASAP after picking up the new car. Very few places on Saturdays and most of them were on holidays. Called solartint blacktown and booked it for tinting. Service was excellent. I didn't get any attitude from anyone there, as someone… Read more

had said on previous reviews.

The first day I noticed some bubbling under the tint. Was quite upset and was going to take it back. It was a very hot day. Next morning, the bubbles had magically disappeared. Then I remembered one of the staff telling me it will take 48 hours for the tint to dry. So if you see bubbles in your tint, wait couple of days if it is warm outside. The result was perfect.

better companies out there – What's the point of a warranty if it's useless went with these guys for their name and website info seemed legit for quality service. I was told regardless of my warranty card, i would still have to pay for tints which were not installed well from black town on sunnyholt rd. Told me "you don't wear jeans then come back if they are broken" what.?.… Read more

I Refused to let them go ahead, ended up getting a great mobile tinter who was more easy going whom also tinted my house windows he also showed me how they did a crap job on the bottom edge Buyers Beware .

Solar Tint Airport West Worst – I made a claim through youi for a new side car window, they replaced the window and referred me to their tinter - solar tint. I called made an appointment. Easy... Not really. 10:30am on the agreed morning and i get there, doors closed no body's there, i call and say my name and this indian (sounding) guy says "ohh" and says he will call me back.… Read more

I wait 30 mins no call back, i call him back, repeatedly, no answer. I wait another 30 mins, no call back. I leave and go to a nearby café to wait for the call back, 2 hrs go by no call back, obviously at this time i've gone home, mind you i wasn't in my own suburb i was 25 mins away. Waste of a whole morning.

All i can say is un professional.

These types of people should not be in business, its clearly run by a bunch of children. They wont be touching my car.

Never Again Solartint Nowra – Living 1 hour away from my nearest Solar tint I decided to get my car windows re tinted, at Nowra Solar tint. Price was dearer than other Solar tint but I went ahead anyway, as like everyone else it is the name and reputation of Solar tint. Service was great, at first. When I got my car back there was scratches on the boot and doors, when I… Read more

questioned the Manager he was quite rude and said ''oh whatever it is it wouldn't take much to come off". He got the marks off with a rag, not happy at all, and no apology. Quite rude actually. Even though his wife said ''oh it was probably from the extension cord reaching over".Then 1 week later I noticed the door strip damaged. Accidently?? But no one admitting it. The reply I receive is Prolonged damaged! And apparently is common in my type of car. The strip was NOT like it when car went it, and that sort of damage doesn't just happen over night. I wash my car regularly so am aware of dents, scratches etc. I was offered by their staff to get CCTV sent to me, now I am told I have to make an appointment to view it! They also want my mechanic and panel beaters contact details where I took my car to get a second opinion, which they certainly have no right to ask for and will not be dragged threw this. My emails bounce back and have to ring to see if one email did make it through. No problem with tint, has only been 2 weeks, but I am VERY disappointed with lack of service and trying to resolve this matter. Especially being told any problems or questions please contact us. I did contact them only to be fighting a loosing battle. Their word against mine. If no damage was done why isn't CCTV be forwarded onto me like I was told it would? I didn't pay $350 to be treated like this. It is just going no where and they are certainly not admitting any responsibility. I will not be recommending SOLARTINT Nowra to anyone. Go elsewhere. You may pay more but it will be worth it!

Always good workmanship – Note: this review is for Solartint Castle Hill, I've never been to other locations so can't comment. Over the years I've brought about 5 cars to Solartint Castle Hill. I keep going back because the workmanship is always top notch and price is reasonable. I've been quoted $50 more at a different Solartint branch so I'm guessing they are… Read more

franchises. I'd suggest to car owners not going with a cheap tinter as they may use low quality tint which could bubble in a year or two. Pay a bit more and get the high quality stuff.
