Excellent customer service and superior products. I had my Genesis G80 done in 2023 and have been extremely pleased with the results so I just had my daughter's Genesis G70 done. Again outstanding service and results! Arthur was very patient, knowledgeable and answered all our questions. I'll always recommend Tint World San Marcos.
When can I roll my windows down after the tint is complete?
Our ultra-premium window film requires time to adhere to your vehicle’s windows. Our expert technicians recommend not rolling your windows down for five (5) days after service to prevent rips or tears in the film. Pro Tip: Parking your car in the direct sunlight helps expedite the bonding process. Should you have any issues, remember that Tint World® window tint packages carry a Lifetime Warranty. Stop by your local Tint World® Automotive Styling Center™ to learn more!
