Auto Tinting & Auto Trim in Salem, OR

“I just purchased a brand, new 2016.5 Mazda 6GT. I had a mask on my 2004 Mazda 6 that I just sold. This time I decided to have a clear bra installed. One of the best decisions I ever made - and an even better one to have Ken perform the installation! He was recommended by the Mazda service department and they couldn't have made a better choice! I had the whole hood covered, so there are no seams (not that they are that noticeable!). Plus all the exposed front areas, portions of the side panels, both mirrors, door cups and, as an extra bonus for some unavoidable delay, he threw in placing it on the top, rear bumper so you would not scratch it when putting in/taking out things for the trunk. Since I am very picky in my own line-of-work, I can appreciate the precision Ken displays in his. The detail of placing it around the nooks and crannies in the front bumper is so awesome. My hat is off to Ken at Trim and Tint.”

“Best window tinting in Salem Oregon and I have had 3 cars so far tinted by Ken...he uses the best film and it even comes with a lifetime warranty!! Same day service also... if your looking to get your car windows tinted give them a call you will be stoked you did! :)”

“5 Stars!”

“Great place to take your vehicle for window tinting. Had my truck and several other vehicles done over the years. The truck is now 7 yrs old and the windows still look like new and match the factory tinted rear's perfectly. Have tried the "car stereo installers" before with very mixed results. Trust me, your better of sticking with a seasoned proffesional than a 20 something year old hoping to expand their buisness portfolio using inferior products and no technique.”

“Awesome job, completely flawless. I had my windows tinted by Ken 10 years ago and they still look great. Absolutely no color change, fading or peeling.”

“Got my car windows tinted by Ken about a month ago. Overall good experience and would recommend.

I called him up one day after deciding to get my windows tinted in my Audi TT. I brought the car by and we looked at it and talked about pricing and what percent tint level would look good. After looking at the car he told me that normally he'd charge $225 for the job but that he'd do it for $195 (presumably cause of some smaller windows in the front). I agreed to call him in the future and we could set up a time to get it done. About a week and a half later I call him up and we set up a time (I believe our appointment was only a couple days after I made the call). When the day comes I bring the car in and get it parked and he immediately tells me that the job would cost the $225 instead of the $195 that he told me originally. This threw me a little but there wasn't much I could do except walk out, so I agreed.

The job took about half an hour longer than what I was told it would. But this didn't bother me much as I would happily wait longer than have a rushed job done. He told me it took longer than expected to do the rear window as he had to take plastic trim pieces off and dissemble part of the rear taillight. He put the trim back together and sent me on my way. After a few days I noticed an annoying rattle that bugged me enough to finally track down. Despite the name of the place he didn't put the trim back together correctly (it wasn't snapped together in some places and was overlapping incorrectly). This only took me about 5min to fix but shows a lack of detail unfortunately.

Yet with these things I can not fault the tint. The tint looked exceptional. The very large and difficult to do back window looked great and any bubbles that may have been visible the day the job was done completely disappeared after a week. There was however one impurity in the driver side window that stuck out after a week (It looked like some dirt stuck in between the glass and the tint). I brought the car in once again and he quickly agreed to fix that window no charge. This was expected (he warranties his work and the tint) but never the less refreshing to see him quickly accept the fault (I was told it was faulty tint) and move on without any sort of argument. I brought it in and he replaced that window and sent me on my way.

In summary I think Ken does excellent work with his 20+ years of experience and is very good at doing tricky cars (a lot of curved glass). His attention to detail can at times be slightly lacking but in the end I am very happy with the way the car looks and I believe the claims that the tint he uses is the best. I have had the tint for about a month now and plan on updating this review if the tint deteriorates.

I recommend Ken (the owner) and if I have another car that needs tinting then I plan on taking it to him.”

“Ken and his staff at Tint and Trim are AWESOME.

I have a little VW New Beetle and wanted to spiff it up with some tint.

Calling a detailer who did tint I was given a nice price quote. Calling back to make the appointment, however, they jacked the quote by more than *double*, stating that the Beetles were just tough as no surface in them are flat, but rather curved and that makes tinting hard. I get that... but more than double??

So I hit the web and searched, and found some great reviews for Ken and his staff at Trim and Tint. I called him up and explained my dilemma, and he noted it was indeed a harder vehicle, but he'd have no trouble doing it. His base quote was right in line with what others had given. He told me there was a small increase in charge for time (about 10%) but that was it.

Price was great.

And even better, I asked when he could get it done... he said he already had two cars scheduled for the very next day, but could I bring it in that evening? Heck yeah! So I dropped it off late that afternoon just as they closed. (I wasn't in a hurry, per se, but I was excited to get this done, and getting something sooner is always better than later! LOL.)

When I arrived, he showed me the options in tint level, talked honestly about what wouldn't / might / would draw the wrong kind of attention from those who write tickets, and helped me make a choice.

They called me mid morning the following day to say it was done! The tint is PERFECT. And I mean perfect. He told me in advance that he'd have to split the back window into two pieces, and he'd try to hide the line around a defroster bar. Indeed he did on both counts.

I love the way the car looks, and it makes a HUGE difference in how it feels -- and I could really tell as it was the week we had 100 degree temps!!

I'd recommend Ken, his staff and their shop anytime.”

“I have been going to Trim & Tint Window Tinting since 1997!! They have done both of my cars. I even got the paint protection film for the hood of my cars to protect against all those nasty rock chips from our gravel in the winter times here in Salem. Anyways check them out....they even gave me a life time warranty on the film.”

“Great job and friendly staff. Ken was fantastic talking me through the different possibilities and options. We agreed to which one we wanted and then the kindly drove me to my next appointment. Very nice.

The only reason for not five-star is that there's an extra surcharge of $5 when using a credit card (even though the work is over $200). I understand credit card companies charge the merchant and some merchants want to recover their cost but CC's are kind if part of normal business now.

Would still highly recommend their services!!!”

“Excellent work what more can i say.... I wouldn't go anywhere else.”

“Love my new tint on my new car looks really really bad thanks to my son in law and my daughter for doing a fantastic job thank you very much.”
