I spent weeks doing my due diligence and looked up every single tint company in the area. I finally chose SB Tint Designs for a few reasons: (1) they were always available; (2) the prices are reasonable for name brand products; and (3) they've been in business for a long time and this is their craft.

Hector is the consummate professional to apply paint protection film to your car. He and his assistant Aurelio wrapped the front areas of our new Tesla in 2020 and wrapped the rest of the car in June 2021. The car again looks brand new with a special shine due to the meticulous wrap work and ceramic coating. He even noticed some subtle water spots that I had not seen before, and then polished them out prior to wrapping. Hector is responsive, kind, accommodating and respectful. Thank you again, Hector for your amazing Five Star work!

Hector had tinted our 1987 MBZ 560SEC and 1991Volvo 940SE over twenty years ago and both vehicles had no issues with the film standing the test of time. We are still driving the 560SEC but have replaced the Volvo with a 2015 MBZ GLK350 4MATIC that has a glass panorama roof - a lot of glass overhead and solar gain is an issue living here in California. Hector provides film that eliminates 97% of the Ultraviolet rays (reducing skin damage) and depending on the shade of tint varying amounts of Infrared rays that reduce heat accumulation.

Another HIGH quality tint job by Hector at his biz, Tint Designs. I don't let anyone else touch my cars for tint - from my Prius to my BMW X5M and beyond. He is the best bar-none. There are others in Santa Barbara, but they are amateurs at best (with all due respect - they try hard). Call Hector now, trust me later!!

When I first met Hector, I was very nervous about bringing my brand new Cadillac Escalade 2021 to him. Just don't know you can trust in the city that we just moved to. What I found was a man who was very kind, extremely knowledgeable and informative to make sure I got the right product not just additional products. His work is exemplary and from what I've seen others feel the same way. I watched his car after car after car pulled up and booked times for their wraps and tint jobs. Didn't matter if it was a Honda or a brand new Bentley and I even saw a brand new Ferrari pull up. Crazy

Hector is the best in the business with 30+ years of knowledge and experience. He books out about a month in advance, well worth any wait. His pristine work and trained eye always produce such SEAMLESS & FLAWLESS results! He is the ONLY person we take all our vehicles to do protective wraps, UV window tinting etc. He is the ONLY person we refer others to as well, because we know how thrilled they will be with his unmatched expertise!

Hector has tinted all of our vehicles to protect us from UV rays hitting our arms and face. He is quick and can tint to the color you are
Comfortable with. A full car tint takes about 3 hours.

Definitely was not disappointed. It has been about two months since I had an appointment with Hector to get my windows tinted and I am very pleased with the work that was done, not a bubble/flaw in sight. Dropped my car off the night before and picked it up by noon the next day. He was able to help me choose the tint percentage that would work best for me as well which was a huge help. He really knows his stuff and is very professional. Great communication and very easy to get ahold of. The location of his office was easy to get to and there was parking directly outside of the building. 10/10 will

I’m so happy with my experience using Tint Designs to add window tinting to my BMW 430i. Tint was added to seven windows in just under a couple of hours. The quality is excellent. The customer service was great.

I took my Model 3 here to get the back windows tinted and a wrap installed on the inner console. I had the best experience with Tint Designs!

I was referred to Hector by a friend who highly recommended his tint services. He was knowledgeable, friendly and super accommodating. I'd never tinted a car before, so he walked me through all of the options and various tint tones. He had my suv done sooner than expected and it looked great. His shop is easy to find and super meticulous. I highly recommend him.

I've known Hector for over 10 years and I've referred him over 50 clients because his work is the very best! He uses the top of the line materials, and is honest and very professional about his work! I would not trust anyone else with my high end cars!

Took my work vehicle to Tint Designs for window film of three panels to help reduce heat loss and improve privacy, service was great along with client engagement. They were punctual along with great workmanship, yet affordable. Highly recommend for all your automobile filming requirements.
Thank you and appreciate the great service, keep up the great work.

Quick, expert, professional. Installed crystal clear SunTek film on restored (at Diamond Finish) 2004 Mustang Cobra headlamps. Awesome job, looks better than new. Dropped it off, had lunch on State St. and back on the road 90 min later. Can't beat the price either!!

I'm so glad I found hector and his company. I recently bought s new vehicle and the feeling of stepping into s hot vehicle in the middle of the day was starting to be unbearable. I have always had 3m tint products installed in every vehicle I had owned. The reason being is some of the generic no name brands out there have a terrible tendency to warp, crinkle and bubble up.

As I recently moved to the area I could not find a tint shop that carried 3m products. I did a search of 3m website and found the only authorized dealer in the area was Tint Designs. I called to see if they were open
