No pressure or up selling. Straight forward on what I was looking for on a replacement system for a Chevy HHR. The install didn't take as long as projected. New system stereo w/4 speakers under 3 hours.

We have taken 9 cars to them to be tinted! Our last car we let them tint, a Amp, and a sub.sounds amazing they did this work less than a month ago. Bringing #10 to them for tint and a system as soon as the weather warms up! Never disappointed! Beautiful work and tint always looks flawless! Thank you!

I've brought 5 vehicles here for tint &/or remote start installation. Great, prompt & reasonable service. They have a drop box if you aren't able to stay and wait for them to open which is super convenient for the working class. Highly recommend.

This was my first time going to this shop and I was very disappointed considering they been in business for a long time. I got tint on my windows on one of my window it had hair and dirt underneath the tint and it was noticeable. I went back to the shop to see if they can fix it and they said it not covered under the warranty but it their job to make sure the windows are cleaned from dirt before they applied the tint so I'm taking it to another shop to get that window done over. I will never go back to them for any of their services. Bad customer.

First time visiting Mr. T's and the staff was great. Summer special pricing going on. The window tint was superb. The quality of work was amazing. I was even given specific instructions so I wouldn't damage the tint after leaving the shop. Thank you for the quality work and service.

I paid Mr. T Autocraft to install a dashcam and backup battery, then a bit over a year later paid them once again to take it out. They did not; in fact chopping ends off of the wires used to ground, and tap into the fuse box of my vehicle. They also discarded or kept other non-necessary wires and connectors that were included in the box of my new battery backup.

They left the fuse tap in the fuse panel instead of removing it as they should have. The fuse they tapped into was for the windshield wipers, and it came loose after they cut the end of the wire, which caused the windshield wipers to quit working intermittently a few days later as I was driving in heavy rain on I-70. It is only luck that I thought to check the fuse box and found out the cause.

If I would have taken the car to the dealer to check the windshield wipers I am sure they would have charged a diagnostic fee to fix the problem, that is if I was not in the hospital or worse due to Mr. T negligence in failing to remove the fuse tap properly. I sued Mr. T in small claims, and although I was awarded a small amount to cover the wires/connectors that Mr. T either kept or thew away, I was not awarded a partial or full refund for the install.

I respectfully disagree with the magistrate who decided that even though Mr. T had left wires in my car and fuse box, this was somehow "proper" and compliant with industry standards. I disagree as I think that any reasonable person would consider this to be an incomplete, and careless uninstall of wiring. I am posing pictures of how I found this in my fuse box, and the public can decide if you agree with me.

The installers and owner, I think his name is Jim, were very arrogant, rude and condescending in my dealings with them, and the owner bragged in court the Mr. T had been in business for over 50 years and does not need to advertise because they don't have to. I also had gone to Mr. T initially as they had a great reputation, but I have since read reviews that state otherwise, and at least one stated that their quality of work and customer service had gone downhill ever since Jim became the new owner.

It is my opinion that Mr. T customer service is poor, attitude towards customer's concerns and safety is non-existent once they have your money, and at least in my case and in my opinion, the work is incompetent. Perhaps the public can decide if Mr. T is deserving of having a great "word of mouth" reputation. As far as I am concerned, they do not and I urge others to seek tint and electronics installation elsewhere.

CROOKS! Sell you add-ons you DON'T actually need for the system. Stay away! I think they are a "front" for shady stuff. I seen some real characters coming and going and it was not stereo related. Dangerous!

Jim was so professional and personable. The service only took about 3 hours to do the full vehicle and it comes with a lifetime warranty. Mr. T has been in Dayton for a long time, my dad used them for all the family cars and as an adult now with my own car it only made sense for me to do the same. I'm so happy I did. I will be referring all my friends!

We have brought our last 5 cars to Mr T's for window tint and the quality and craftsmanship cannot be beat. Never peeling or scratching when you care for it correctly! Taking my new 2021 to them soon. Also, they can turn around your car same day. I would absolutely recommend to anyone.

I made an appointment over the phone and the gentleman was very informative and helpful. I did have to wait a week to get my car done but, if it's a successful business, that'll happen. When I dropped my car off, simply pay your dues, wait a few hours and go pick your car up. Simple. Top quality product and professional installation.

Polite staff and good prices. I was running late to pick up and one of the guys stayed so I could get my keys before locking up. Window tint appears flawless. Zero complaints.

Long standing shop that provides first class service! Seriously this place has been a downtown Dayton landmark for decades. Joe and Taylor provided excellent service recommending ceramic film for my car. I plan on returning soon for a alarm with remote start and some radio upgrades.

I had a remote starter installed in my vehicle, just what I wanted! No "up selling" nonsense. I was given the best price in Dayton (check the others, you'll see). A LIFETIME warranty and treated great! Fast, exceptional, world class service. Do not hesitate folks.

Look NO further! In case you don't want to read, here's the summary: AFFORDABLE. FAST. FRIENDLY. PROFESSIONAL. FLAWLESS. -- I called Mr T's shop about a week before I got the windows on my Corolla tinted. I was quoted a very reasonable and fair price for all windows (not the windshield) over the phone. I talked to many different staff members over the phone each time I called to ask various questions.

Each was professional, helpful, and friendly. Not to mention knowledgeable of the shop's procedures, pricing, and services. The day before my appointment, Mr T called and asked if I could bring my car in a day early, but I couldn't. They were overbooked. The shop was understanding and didn't try to shift around my appointment or anything like other shops might have.

I took my car in at opening time (9 AM) and mentioned the ad on the website. Just a mere 3 hours later, my car was returned to the lot outside in the same condition as I handed it over. The only difference was, now, my beautiful 4 doors and rear window were tinted. Mr T called me and I went in. I initially expected I might have to argue because they would charge me more than the quoted price. however, they rang me up for the *same, affordable* price given over the phone.

Mr T. gave me a small instructional paper that told me how to care for my new tint. He asked how I liked my tint, and I told him it was beautiful. He recommended their other services, including remote start which he gave an estimated price for. I'll definitely be going HERE if I decide to have that done. Again, if you want your car to look as stunning as mine, look no further than Mr T's Auto Craft, located conveniently in the heart of Downtown Dayton.

Mr. T's did an amazing tint job on my Chevy Cruze Hatchback. Affordable, family owned and a lifetime warranty. Highly recommended.
