Tucked along the Ridge Scenic Highway on the west shore of Crooked Lake, Hillcrest Heights is a quiet stretch of citrus country where a boat, a work truck, and a comfortable daily driver all earn their keep. Tunes-N-Tint is worth the drive north to our Lakeland shop — about 50 minutes up US-27 and US-98 — and for the full range of upgrades under one roof, one trip up is worth it. From the docks on Crooked Lake to the grove roads off Scenic Highway 17, we are the go-to crew in Polk County to dial in your sound, cut the Florida heat, and build a vehicle around how you actually live — no need to run all the way to Tampa or Orlando to get it done right.

Why Hillcrest Heights drivers make the drive
Out here on the Lake Wales Ridge you are a fair way from any full-service shop, so when you make the trip you want it done once and done right. Tunes-N-Tint is a top choice across Polk County for good reason: trained installers, clean work, straight answers in plain English, and a free quote before anything gets touched. Whether it is the bass boat you keep on Crooked Lake, a lifted daily on the sandy grove two-tracks, or the sedan that runs the ridge up to Lake Wales, we treat your vehicle like our own.
From the lake to the grove roads, we build for Hillcrest Heights
Life on Crooked Lake means boats, and we rig them right with marine audio and Wet Sounds gear made to shrug off sun and spray. Out on the groves and ranch trails, powersports audio keeps the side-by-side loud and clear. Back on Scenic Highway 17, beat the ridge-country glare with window tint, warm up the miles with fresh car audio, and toughen up the truck with truck accessories, a spray-on bedliner, and a remote starter so the cab is cool before you climb in. Need a little more clearance for the grove roads? We handle truck lifts and custom fabrication too.
The full Tunes-N-Tint lineup
All under one roof: car audio (JL Audio, Alpine, Kicker, Kenwood, Pioneer, Rockford Fosgate), window tint, marine audio, powersports audio, remote starters, vehicle security, Viper, driver safety, vehicle lighting, mobile video, Katzkin leather, leather upgrades, upholstery, step bars, spray-on bedliners, truck lifts, truck bed covers, truck accessories, vehicle graphics & wraps, custom fabrication, professional installation, factory integration, and auto detailing.

Hillcrest Heights Car Audio, Window Tint & Vehicle Customization FAQ
How far is Tunes-N-Tint from Hillcrest Heights, and is the drive worth it?
Hillcrest Heights sits about 40 miles south of us on the Lake Wales Ridge, roughly a 50-minute run up US-27 and US-98 to 4980 US Highway 98 N in North Lakeland. The drive pays off because you get every upgrade under one roof — audio, tint, lifts, marine rigs, security, leather, and wraps — from a shop voted Best of Central Florida in 2025 and 2026. One trip north handles what would take several stops closer to Crooked Lake.
Do you install marine audio for boats on Crooked Lake?
Yes. Crooked Lake and the ridge lakes around Hillcrest Heights stay busy with bass boats and pontoons, and we build marine audio that shrugs off sun, spray, and Florida heat — from weatherproof speakers to full Wet Sounds systems. Call (863) 614-1164 and tell us what you run, and we will spec the right setup for your boat.
Can you add audio and lighting to my ATV or side-by-side?
Absolutely. Between the citrus groves and ranch trails around Hillcrest Heights, plenty of riders want their side-by-sides dialed in, so we add powersports audio that stays crisp over engine and trail noise plus LED lighting for safer night runs. Bring your ATV, UTV, or golf cart and we will build it out to match how you ride.
What is the darkest window tint allowed under Florida law?
Florida law allows 28% VLT on the front side windows, 15% on the rear side and back windows, and a non-reflective strip at the top of the windshield. Our professional window tint — including premium 3M window film — cuts the heat and glare on your open-ridge commute while keeping your vehicle fully legal. We tint cars, trucks, and boat consoles alike.
Do you install JL Audio and other premium car audio brands?
We are an authorized installer for JL Audio, Alpine, Kicker, Kenwood, Pioneer, and Rockford Fosgate. We custom-fit and tune every system to your vehicle, whether it is a grove work truck or a weekend cruiser headed down to Babson Park. Hillcrest Heights drivers get the same expert install that has kept us on the Mobile Electronics Top 50 Retailer list for 20-plus years.
Do you serve Hillcrest Heights and nearby ridge towns?
Yes. We take care of Hillcrest Heights and the whole southern ridge, including Lake Wales, Bartow, Dundee, Eagle Lake, and Haines City. No matter which ridge town you are coming from, one trip up to North Lakeland gets your vehicle outfitted right the first time.
How do I get a free quote from Tunes-N-Tint?
Call or text (863) 614-1164 or stop by 4980 US Highway 98 N, Lakeland, FL 33809, open Mon-Fri, 9 AM to 6 PM. We give free quotes on everything — audio, tint, lifts, security, leather, wraps, and more — with straight answers and no pressure. Tell us what your vehicle needs and we will price the job before you make the drive from Hillcrest Heights.
Can you install a remote starter so my cab is cool before I climb in?
Absolutely. A remote start lets you cool the cab from your porch before you head out across the ridge, which is a real relief in the Central Florida heat. We install them reliably and can knock it out the same day as your window tint or other truck accessories.
Do you lift trucks and do custom fabrication work?
Yes. We handle lift kits and one-off custom fabrication for Hillcrest Heights trucks that see grove roads and ranch trails. From a bolt-on lift to a fully custom build, our installers walk you through the options and do the work in-house.
What vehicle security systems do you offer?
We install vehicle security systems built around trusted Viper gear — alarms, starter interrupt, and GPS tracking. Whether your truck sits at a Crooked Lake boat ramp or out on ridge property overnight, we can add the alarm and driver safety features to protect it.
Can you upgrade my truck interior with Katzkin leather?
Yes. A leather upgrade with Katzkin transforms your cab and holds up far better than cloth on hot ridge afternoons. We also do full upholstery work if you want to redo the whole interior for those long hauls between Hillcrest Heights and Lakeland.
What truck accessories can you add besides audio and lifts?
Plenty. We install step bars, tonneau covers, and a full range of truck accessories to make your ridge-country pickup more useful. Easier climbs in, a covered bed for grove runs, and a cleaner look, all handled by our professional install team.
Do you offer auto detailing in Lakeland?
Yes. Our auto detailing keeps the Polk County sun, pollen, and lake dust from wearing down your finish. Pair it with a fresh tint job or audio install and your ride from Hillcrest Heights will look as sharp as it sounds.
Can you add a spray-on bedliner to my truck?
Yes. A spray-on bedliner protects your bed from the wear of grove roads, feed, and job-site gear around Hillcrest Heights. We spray the full bed, and it pairs perfectly with a lift, a tonneau cover, and the rest of your truck build.
Do you do vehicle wraps, graphics, and vinyl work?
Yes. Our vehicle wraps and graphics, including durable 3M wrap films, let you personalize a truck or brand a work vehicle — from subtle stripes to a full color change. We design and install it to hold up against Central Florida sun on those long ridge drives.
Can you add modern audio without removing my factory radio?
Yes. With factory radio integration you keep your OEM screen and steering-wheel controls while we add upgraded speakers, amps, and subs. We can also install mobile video to keep the kids happy on the long haul between Hillcrest Heights and Lakeland.
