FlashCrafterWindow tinting service · Elk Grove, CA
Searching for a window tinting service in Elk Grove returns a crowded, highly rated field. The August 2026 Google Maps measurement observed 35 businesses, 29 of them with a rating, averaging 4.72 stars. 94% of listings are claimed and 24 have a website. Deluxe Window Tinting ranks first: it was shown first for all five 'near me' phrases measured and appeared in the top three in 44.4% of sampled searches. Eddy's Tintz and GENESIS follow at 33.3% each, then Elite Audio And Tint at 24.4% and Tint Pros of Elk Grove at 13.3%. Top-3 share means appearing in positions 1-3, which is a different thing from being shown first, and neither figure measures workmanship or price.
Position depends on where the search is made. Across 45 searches from nine spots around Elk Grove, seven different businesses came first at least once, and 14 of the 45 searches returned no local results at all. Review count is a weak guide to visibility: Deluxe Window Tinting and Eddy's Tintz have 28 reviews each and the highest top-3 shares, while Elite Audio And Tint (346 reviews) and WestCoast Car Audio & Tint of Elk Grove (306 reviews) appear less often. Estimated demand for the five 'near me' phrases is small, about 90 searches a month, and the questions people ask alongside them are mostly about price and California tint legality. None of the shop websites reviewed showed tint prices, so a quote is the practical way to compare cost.

Findings
The measurement observed 35 businesses, 29 with a rating, and an average rating of 4.72. 94% of listings are claimed and 24 have a website. Two sampled listings are unclaimed: 24 Hour Window Tinting (3.1 from 7 reviews) and Kustom Kings (4.4 from 47 reviews). Six of the 35 businesses had no rating, and the figures include businesses that are not tint specialists, such as a Walmart store and glass or detailing shops.
Deluxe Window Tinting was shown first for all five measured phrases (automotive, car, ceramic, commercial and residential window tinting near me) and no other business was shown first for any of them. It appeared in the top three in 44.4% of sampled searches, ahead of Eddy's Tintz and GENESIS at 33.3% each, Elite Audio And Tint at 24.4% and Tint Pros of Elk Grove at 13.3%. Top-3 share is the percentage of searches where a listing appeared in positions 1-3, and it says nothing about workmanship, price or service.
In 45 Google Maps searches (5 phrases from each of 9 spots), 7 businesses came first at least once across the 31 searches that returned results: Deluxe Window Tinting 10, Eddy's Tintz 5, Elite Audio And Tint 5, Tint Pros of Elk Grove 5, Sharif Window Tinting & Paint Protection Film 4, Elk Grove Windshield & Calibration 1 and Walmart Supercenter 1. Eddy's Tintz was first in 5 of 5 at the centre, Deluxe in 5 of 5 at both 3.4 km south-east and south-west, Elite in 5 of 5 at 3.4 km north-east and Tint Pros in 5 of 5 at 3.4 km north-west. 14 of 45 searches returned no local results. This was one run on one date, and no cause for the differences is established.
Among the 25 listed businesses, the median review count was 28 for the first three and 26 for the rest. Deluxe Window Tinting and Eddy's Tintz have 28 reviews each and the highest top-3 shares, while Elite Audio And Tint (346 reviews) and WestCoast Car Audio & Tint of Elk Grove (306 reviews) appear in the top three in 24.4% and 8.9% of searches. Precision Window Tinting and Genesis Window Tinting have 1 review each and still reached 6.7% and 4.4%; Walmart Supercenter, with 2,297 reviews, reached 2.2%. This is an association in one sample, not a cause.
The five 'near me' phrases total an estimated 90 searches a month: 30 each for automotive and car window tinting near me, and 10 each for ceramic, commercial and residential. Questions returned in sampled searches recur around price ('How much should tint all around cost?', a $99 tint special, the cheapest place) and California legality ('Is a 35% tint legal in California?'). These are Keyword Planner estimates for exact phrases, not customer counts.
Precision Window Tinting's site says it is mobile, offers same-day or next-day appointments, and states a 5-year warranty on carbon film and a lifetime warranty on nano-ceramic film, although elsewhere on the page it says all jobs include a lifetime warranty. GENESIS offers a free-estimate form and says it is straightforward about products and pricing. Elite Audio And Tint gives an address and phone number and offers a free consultation. None of the pages reviewed showed tint prices, though hours and prices may exist elsewhere on those sites. These are the shops' own statements, not verified.
For customers
Do not choose on star average alone. The market averages 4.72 across 29 rated businesses, so most shops look strong; read recent reviews for turnaround, staff and how problems were handled.
Check more than one result. The shop Google shows first changed with where the search was made, and seven different businesses came first across nine spots, so the top listing near you may not be the top listing elsewhere in Elk Grove.
Treat 'shown first' and top-3 share as visibility, not quality. Deluxe Window Tinting appeared in the top three in 44.4% of sampled searches, but that figure does not measure workmanship or price.
Ask for a written quote or book the free consultation or estimate that Elite Audio And Tint and GENESIS offer. None of the shop pages reviewed showed tint prices.
Ask each shop to put its warranty terms in writing. Precision Window Tinting's own site gives different warranty wording in different places, so confirm which applies to your film.
Ask which film and darkness the shop will install, and confirm it meets California rules, since legality is a recurring question. If you only want tint, confirm the shop treats it as a core service, as several listed shops also sell audio, paint protection film, ceramic coating and wraps.
If a Groupon or special applies, confirm in advance that the shop will honour it, because an unhonored voucher appears in sampled critical reviews.
For owners
Claiming your listing is a baseline here: 94% of listings are claimed and the average rating is 4.72. Differences will have to come from reviews, photos and clear offer details.
Test your visibility from several spots in Elk Grove rather than relying on one position figure. Eddy's Tintz, Deluxe Window Tinting, Elite Audio And Tint and Tint Pros of Elk Grove each led from different spots, and 14 of 45 searches returned no local results.
Do not assume more reviews will lift you into the top three. Elite Audio And Tint (346 reviews) trails two shops with 28 reviews each. Proximity, listing completeness and review recency are worth testing.
Publish a starting price range and plain warranty terms. None of the shop pages reviewed showed tint prices, and price questions recur in sampled searches.
Answer the California tint legality question on your site, since it recurs alongside the price questions. The effect on enquiries is untested, and the five 'near me' phrases total only about 90 searches a month.
Show what happy reviewers mention: turnaround time, a clean waiting area and a live view of the work.
State your voucher and front-desk policies clearly, since sampled critical reviews of one shop concern an unhonored Groupon voucher and front-desk service.
If you are tint-focused, say so; if you also sell audio, paint protection film or wraps, consider whether a bundled offer suits customers who want several jobs at once.
