"Mohammed did a wonderful job on my Honda Accord. I checked around and he had the best price and top notch quality work. You cannot beat that, and he's very friendly as well. The price quoted was the price paid. I checked around and the prices that I was quoted elsewhere were over 30% higher, for the same work. I would definitely definitely recommend Solax to anyone that's looking for a tint job. I couldn't be happier with the results."

"The guys did an amazing job on my car. From the initial estimate to picking up the car Kevin and his team were absolute professionals. I was walked through the process of what would be happening over the next few days while they had the car. They helped me decide what was the right level protection with the end result I was looking for. I will be returning with future vehicles, and I would recommend Elite Finishes to anyone looking. My cars finish looks better than showroom fresh."
