Have been taking our cars to Ken for 25 years now, always have great workmanship, great customer service, and just overall great guy. I had a car for over 10 years not a single blemish in the tint, yes the tint faded over time, but Ken stood proud behind his warranty, and fixed it right up. Just took the wife's brand new explorer ST there today, and as always did great work. Will be going back with next car

Cool Shades is hands down the best window tinting business I have ever dealt with. Ive had them do 6 of my vehicles over the last 10 years, and havent had a single issue. They recently tinted my Cadillac CTS and I must say, it looks amazing. Dont go anywhere else! Big thanks to Ken and the crew at Cool Shades!
