I recently decided to take the plunge and go electric. Switching from an ice vehicle to a Tesla is a big enough decision in itself and the Tesla forums are a huge help! What I learned is that the more you run the a/c and the longer it takes to cool the cabin, the more the battery degradation. Many people in the forums recommended tinting as a counter measure to vastly help. Being in Los Angeles considering it's the car capital...there are tons of choices for services, but how do you know who's really good? As I scoured various forums for tint recommendations and experiences...I noticed Extreme Autowerks being mentioned quite often. Many other Tesla owners..who are quite hardcore, went as far as measuring temps stock(no tint) to measuring it with Photosync applied by Extreme Autowerks. The factual numbers and the huge cooling effect and therefore drop in interior heat was astonishing! I started researching Photosync to see if it was more hype or was it as good as they say. First of all there are literally only a few dealers in the entire Ca and each dealer has exclusive territory. The film seems to be very different than the rest as its adaptive(as temp rises it blocks more heat) I was like this is definitely unique. I also noticed that many people mentioned that they applied the whole glass in one piece and that too custom pieces. I also like to see how the owner...responds to negative reviews. Armed with all this info...I decided to pay the shop a visit.At Extreme I was treated with professionalism and factual information. Never a hard sell or any kind of pressure. I learned the name of the owner from other YelpReviews and forums...by chance Bing Lee was at the store that day. His staff were very nice and for being an owner Bing was very patient and kind. No matter what question or how many I threw at him, he happily answered all of them...without any pressure or salesmanship. He truly believes in his product and is not just there for sales. I am not an easy person to convince and always look at any business or person in sales with the 3rd degree and never once did Bing or his staff flinch! After I felt I put Extreme through my Gauntlet..I felt confident enough to proceed and get my Model X tinted and wrapped.If you are looking for cheap tint just so your windows lookDark, this is not the place for you, but if you actually care about details, superior product and professional installers that care more for your car than you do...than this is definitely your place. The finished product is applied so neatly and done with such detail, to the untrained eye it's hard to tell the film is even on! The model X has a huge windshield and the fact that these guys do it in one piece...is just pure magic!Picked up the car and it was spotless. After waiting a few days for it to cure..that's when my own tests began. All I can say is, I have no idea why every car doesn't have Photosync. Wow what a difference! When your inside, it's like there is no sun and to test if your lower your window, you feel the immediate burning heat and say whoa there actually is sun and it's super hot out! The phoyosync is like a massive barrier between the heat and feeling comfort even without a/c. I am extremely happy with my install, product and definitely the 10 out of 5 star service that Extreme staff and the owner provided.I am a very finicky and through when it comes to products and services like this and boy did these guys pass with flying colors. Their warranty is also very strong. No wonder why these guys already have so many 5 starReviews...here is another well deserved one!!!I highly recommend them! Thank you!!

2nd time coming here. Bing and the team did a phenomenal job on my new Range Rover. They were on time, communicative and professional. I got the ppf film wrapped the entire car for protection and tint on all windows. Fascinated at how much the tint protects the UV since I drive a lot with kids. Car stays cool in direct sunlight Me and my husband are pretty picky customer, but we are 10000% satisfied at the quality of their work. Went to a Land rover dealer for a checkup and even they were amazed at the work and asking if they can get a contact. Definitely coming back for the next car

I was highly disappointed with the installation at Extreme Autoworks. I was lured in by the positive reviews online and the fancy cars shown in the pictures. I will say the office is nice, the staff is friendly, and they are extremely communicative; however, that's where it stops. The quality of work is subpar as there were numerous spots where contaminants were clearly trapped under the tint. My car has the dot matrix pattern, and unfortunately, this is the worst work I have seen dealing with this challenge. They make you sign a disclaimer basically saying that there are not responsible for problems associated with the dot matrix. I should have left when I was given this paperwork; however, it's too late now. They also scratched my windows in a few places with a razor blade and disconnected my dashcam during the tint installation. Unfortunately, they broke the pin on my dashcam power cord and then chose to leave it. I find it highly upsetting that they were tinkering with my dashcam and provided no notice that they would be touching it before I dropped the car off. The dashcam was on the windshield and in no way interfered with the side window and rear tint. I later learned from John from Extreme Autoworks that it is the policy that their staff cannot be recorded, and that's why it was disconnected. Also, I noticed a rattling coming from my performance exhaust shortly after picking it up. While I can't prove anything since my dashcam was disconnected, I would say something is fishy. While they did offer to look at the tint, I decided not to bring my car in as they may do more damage than the repair is worth.Given my experience, I would say save your money and protect your investment, don't come here.Service: Vehicle window tinting

Just wanted to write about my awesome experience with Bing and his team. We've done window tinting, PPF and ceramic coating for our Kia Telluride, and window tinting and PPF done on our BMW M2C, and the quality of both cars were top notch. With PPF, the most important factor is the quality of the install, and Greg is the best. He goes all the way to the edges with minimal seams. You can tell this guy knows what he's doing. We used Prestige ClearGuard Nano, and the film quality is awesome. For tint, we used Llumar IRX 15% and Air80 for the windshield. Again, the quality of the product and installation was flawless. For ceramic coating, we used Modesta BC-08, and application by Ryan was awesome as well. In terms of customer service, these guys are the best. Bing is awesome, he's honest and upfront with everything Greg always explains how and why he applied the PPF a certain way. And John at the front desk is always a pleasure to deal with. Here's an example of the type of customer service you'd be dealing with: Just a couple weeks ago, my wife unfortunately scraped the front fender of the Telluride. The film was all messed up in that area (but luckily prevented further paint damage). I emailed Bing to see what they can do short of replacing the entire film. I brought the car in and also asked for a car wash and a general check up of the ceramic coating as well. They cut the damaged part of the film and put on new film, and although there is an inevitable seam that's hardly visible, it looks flawless. I then went to the front desk, expecting to pay hundreds for fixing the film and car wash. And guess what - no charge! I was incredulous and extremely grateful. What awesome guys! Thanks Bing and your team!!

I was a bit hesitant to get my windows tinted in my new car because it was my first time and I didn't know what to expect. However, Bing was so nice and upfront about the whole process and I'm really glad I went through with their services!

Got my windows tinted here recently and they did an amazing job. Turnaround time was super quick and they were extremely responsive and communicative throughout the whole process. I'd definitely recommend this establishment for any of the services they offer.

Finally getting around to share my review of the PPF install I had done by Extreme Autowerks. Took delivery of my new Tesla just before Christmas and wanted to get the PPF installed before logging any serious miles to protect the new paint. This being a very difficult time to schedule due to the holidays, Bing was very accommodating and managed to fit me into his very packed schedule. After doing a TON of research, I decided that Autowerks offered the best film and installation technique in the area....and I was correct. They way they wrap the edges and apply the film to the front bumper without any seams, is truly an art. You can't even tell it has film on it. This is especially important having a white car. If you have a Tesla, don't look anywhere else. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Bing and crew!

Really great work! Bing and his team are professional and efficient. The quality speaks for itself. They offer budget friendly tints and also highest rated heat/uv blocking tints. Will continue to take all my cars here.

All I can say is wow. Spoke with Bing via IG about front bumper ppf replacement after a hit n run and paint was redone by another body shop. From the beginning he was upfront about expectations and wasn't trying to upsell anything. He was straight and to the point about pricing but most importantly about expectation of quality. He let me know that the front bumper was 100% custom hand install and that there would be no seams where the typical precut/custom precuts would have seams and I was super impressed with how it turned out. Due to the nature of the repaint of the bumper, some areas were not able to be fully ppf'd up to the edge of the paint but bing, John, and the main ppf tech (so sorry I forgot your name)...notified me immediately via phone once they finished inspecting the bumper. Bc they let me know ahead of time of what to expect, I wasn't caught off guard. All in all, they are a bit on the more expensive side for the work, but it is welllll worth it. Can't go wrong with this shop. Will def be bringing my car back once I get a model Y for full ppf and for their tint services. Thanks a lot Bing and team for your help with my model 3!
