Customer review
Excellent work and the best price by over R1k cheaper. They removed a botched job from a previous company and put smash and grab all round, including the glass boot, to match the tint. It's like a new car. Thank you guys for brilliant work.

Customer review
Great service and great pricing. Besides having my vehicles done by Ben and the Solar Screen team over the years, we also had our sliding doors and some windows done at the house. The team were fantastic.

I've been to this company three times to have my smash and grab done, all for different cars. Amazing service every single time, which is why I keep going back. Their prices are competitive and their quality is outstanding.
