About Blackout Window Tinting
Family-run tint, wrap, and protective film care for Gilroy and the Bay Area. We keep installs in-house, communicate in plain language, and back every promise in writing.
Our Story: Family Hands-On Care
Since 1993, we've grown from a three-bay Monterey Road garage to a six-bay Holloway Rd HQ—still run by the same family and still focused on installs that leave clean edges, cured film, and clear expectations.
Every quote, text update, and final walk-through comes from Danny or Adrian, so you never have to re-explain your goals to a rotating cast.

Doors open on Monterey Road
Danny turns a three-bay Monterey Road garage into Blackout Window Tinting and keeps installs in the family from day one.

2005
Training beyond tint
Growing demand for PPF, wraps, and graphics pushed us to attend West Coast workshops from LLumar, SunTek, 3M, Hexis, and Avery Dennison. We invested in hands-on training so South County fleets never had to wait for a traveling crew.
