Amazing experience! They communicated with me through the whole process. They’re incredibly thorough and I could tell that they really care about getting the job done right. I got tints and PPF done and both came out beautifully. They also finished sooner than expected. I shopped around a bit to make sure I took my car to a place I could trust and I’m beyond happy that I chose here. Phenomenal work!

These guys are great! Easy to work with, and very patient. We got the Ceramic Film for our largest windows, and it’s already made a difference. Excellent product, and the person who installed it was very well trained and professional. We highly recommend Incognito Tints of Wethersfield.
