This is my first time using Sun Control. I arrived early and they jumped on it. They completed the work quickly while I waited. I appreciated the waiting area and facilities. Clean and comfortable. And my car looks great. The only issue I had was they did not assemble the passenger door inside cover properly so I fixed it myself. Good to go.

I have gotten several cars, boat and my home done from these guys over the years. They are very professional and the product is top notch. My home was especially great as the tint not only blocks the heat but also the UV rays from damaging my floors and furniture. I highly recommend Sun Control for all of your windows.

Amazing service! We were very happy with our recent experience tinting windows on our 2021 Hyundai Sonata. Staff was friendly and knowledgable in helping me make decisions on depth of my tint. The waiting area was comfortable, and my vehicle was completed in record time.
