My schedule is tricky but he did all he could to work within it.
Description of Work: Don tinted the two front roll-up windows. I can't even tell it wasn't factory installed. Awesome job.

I called Don Oravsky (owner) of "Made in the Shade" to schedule an appointment for an "off Friday" of our convenience, but I had to reschedule due to my own commitments changing. Don was understanding about my need to change appointment dates and remained flexible during the multiple re-scheduling changes I had to make due to my work schedule. He works out of several locations, which cuts overhead costs and made his price much lower than other vendors that I called. He also knows quite a bit about how rear window tints can effect radio reception if installed improperly (we had zero AM reception and spotty FM reception). We arranged to meet him at a detailing center in Solano Beach and he was there to greet us when we arrived. The job took even less than the 1.5 hours he estimated, so we were just finishing lunch when he called and said our car was ready. He even put it through the car wash for us, which was a nice additional touch. The tinting job looks very clean and now we have AM radio and the FM is much better than before. The tinting job also comes with a warranty which will work with many installers. Much thanks to Don for a great low cost tinting job. Keep up the good work!
Description of Work: Had to have tinting removed from rear window of Volvo S60 due to bubbling (poor installation of metalized film at a different vendor) and apply new tinting film.

THIS COMPANY WAS GOOD AT TINTING MY WINDOWS. THEY EXPLAINED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TINT AND THAT WAS HELPFUL IN MY DECISION. I LOVED THE PROFESSIONALISM AND WORK ETHIC TO COMPLETE THE JOB IN A TIMELY MANNER.
Description of Work: I NEEDED TO GET MY WINDOWS TINTED ON MY JEEP CHEROKEE. I HAD ALL OF THE WINDOWS TINTED TO MEDIUM TINT.
