Blockout Professional Window Tinting
Six cars over eleven years — the kind of repeat loyalty that tells you more than any single review.
That kind of loyalty is a stronger signal than any single glowing review. Pricing comes up occasionally as running on the higher side compared to other tinters in the area, but the reviewers who mention it still chose to return, and several note reasonable or fair pricing on the same jobs. If budget is a priority, it's worth getting a quote upfront — but the workmanship and post-job support (including Dave personally rectifying issues and returning vehicles to customers) give context to why most don't shop elsewhere.

About Blockout Professional Window Tinting
Dave — the sole operator behind Blockout Professional Window Tinting — covers both automotive and residential tinting, which puts him in a niche that most dedicated car tinters don't touch. Reviews span everything from daily drivers and utes to European SUVs, commercial vans, and large multi-window home installs, so he's equally comfortable on a single hatchback as he is across twelve house windows in one day. What stands out across 26 years of operation is Dave's habit of walking customers through product options before starting — several reviewers specifically mention he listened to their concerns, explained what to do after installation, and helped them choose the right film rather than defaulting to upsell. His problem-solving approach surfaces in at least one job where adverse weather and a high-roof vehicle could have meant a reschedule, but Dave worked around both on the day. He also picks up and drops off cars when follow-up work is needed, and one homeowner noted he left the property spotless after a residential job — details that matter when you're trusting someone with your vehicle or your home.
Best for: homeowners wanting car and house tinting handled by the same trusted operator, repeat customers who value long-term workmanship over lowest price, and anyone with a European or hard-to-tint vehicle needing experienced hands.

Does Blockout Professional Window Tinting do residential as well as car tinting?+
Yes — Dave handles both automotive and home window tinting. Several reviewers mention having their house windows tinted by Dave, including one job covering 12 large windows in a single day. One customer also had their home's front windows done years earlier and then brought their new car in when they upgraded. If you have both a vehicle and a property to tint, he can handle both jobs.
What do customers say about Dave's pricing?+
Most reviewers describe the pricing as reasonable or fair, and several specifically call it good value given the quality. One reviewer noted it felt expensive compared to other tinters, though they still left a positive review overall. Given he's a solo operator running a long-established business with quality products, pricing likely reflects that — worth getting a quote upfront if you're comparing options.
How does Dave handle problems or issues after the job is done?+
At least one customer reported a minor issue appearing a few weeks after their tint was installed — Dave personally picked up the car, took it to the shop, fixed it, and returned it. The reviewer described the follow-up as impressive. That level of post-job support appears to be part of his standard approach rather than an exception.
What kinds of vehicles does Blockout work on?+
Reviewers mention a wide range of vehicles including utes, Hilux, D-Max, iLoad vans, Hiace vans, an X5 (European SUV), and standard passenger cars. Dave is specifically mentioned as coming recommended in the area for European cars. He's also noted for solving tricky jobs — like a high-roof vehicle where standard installation would have been difficult.
Is Dave good at explaining tint options to first-time customers?+
Multiple reviewers highlight this specifically. One customer described Dave running them through exactly what to do and what not to do after getting front windows tinted. Another mentioned he was patient with all their 'newbie questions.' A third noted he made choosing between tint options easy just by listening to their needs. If you're unsure what type of film suits your car or home, he appears to be the kind of operator who walks you through it rather than just proceeding.
