Erick’s work history begins at the ripe age of 6-years-old in the construction industry sifting sand and rocks in Mexico. Since that very young age, Erick has been a hustler and has worked in almost every area that involves physical labor – masonry, framing, cleaning, combination welding, etc.
In 2018, Erick moved to Chicago and the roots of SkinzTek began forming. After 3 years of building relationships and learning more within the industry, Erick took the plunge and opened SkinzTek in 2021 with his wife, Teri. Backed by his relentless work ethic, Erick currently does all the installations at SkinzTek, as well as manages and oversees the business (with help from his loving wife, Teri). With over 350 5-Star Google Reviews, opening SkinzTek has proven to be a worthwhile investment to Erick’s family and the community.
When Erick isn’t working (or thinking about work), Erick enjoys watching soccer and basketball, spending time outdoors, listening to loud music and dancing, and spending quality time with his wife, Teri, and their daughter.

Teri’s background is a little different than Erick’s. Teri is an associate professor of sport psychology and is a certified mental performance consultant, providing mental skills training to performers of all ages and backgrounds. This expertise has enabled Teri to be a pivotal founding member of SkinzTek with her husband, Erick.
Teri has been the picture-perfect supportive spouse and initially assisted with social media, operations, and marketing/sales. As anyone with a small business knows, Teri found herself wearing a lot of different hats. More recently, Teri has been focused on streamlining operations, communication with clients, professionalizing SkinzTek’s online presence, and content creation.
When Teri isn’t working (which is rare), she enjoys being outside, watching sports, and spending quality time with her husband, Erick, and their daughter.
Every company says they're the best.

Jay AyeApril 25, 2025 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 04/21/2025 UPDATE: After a great job the first time when my front windows got tinted, I went back to make my factory tinted windows even darker. I got my sunroof tinted too and it looks awesome. This greatly reduced the heat inside the car. Amazing job again. Prices are very reasonable and the place is clean. Highly recommended. PREVIOUS REVIEW--> This place is a perfect example of what small business customer service, product quality, and work quality should be. Not only is the communication beforehand excellent, but once you arrive for your appointment, you are greeted with excellent customer service. I worked with Erick on having my two front windows tinted to match the factory tint and he did an excellent job. He listened and put small samples on my glass so I could see. He was very articulate and careful. The result was nothing short of great! Prices are very very reasonable . Look at the pictures and you judge. The waiting area was insanely comfortable. I was offered water. The cleanliness of the facility is excellent. I’m so happy with my experience that I’m booking another service. They are a small business and I intend to send people. Jorge decifero CruzApril 18, 2025 Got my SUV tinted today and man o man couldn’t have done this better Erick salute brother 🫡 awesome work. I definitely recommend SkinzTek to anyone looking to tint.you get what u pay for and that’s all I gotta say! Yuri EfremenkoApril 17, 2025 Got my Tesla tinted and am really happy with the end result! Phenomenal customer service & very quick responses by the owners! Submitted a request at 8pm, got a quote literally within 15 mins and they were able to take my car in at noon the following day. The owners take tremendous pride in their work and go above & beyond in making sure their customers are happy! They use high quality materials & the shop is very clean! All their tints come with a lifetime warranty which speaks for itself. If only all small businesses operated this efficiently! I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for car tinting services in Chicago! Nikoli KnasiakApril 17, 2025 I first worked with Erick back in 2021 when he tinted my 4Runner. Not only was the quality of the work top-notch, but he worked with me in his studio to help me determine what would work best for my vehicle. I was blown away with the results and they have stood the test of time, as they look just as good four years later as they did on day one. So when I wanted my Honda Fit's tint job redone, I knew I wanted to work with Erick again. I reached out and got on the schedule and I'm happy to report that his attention to detail, craftsmanship, and material quality are still second to none. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to get their vehicle tinted. Xavier LopezApril 16, 2025 This is the second time I bring my car for Eric to work on the 10th and removal of my windshield tent.He did a great job.Thank you again, Eric.You're the best Rafe ChristmanApril 15, 2025 Eric did a great job! He is super professional and knowledgeable. He did a PPF on my Mercedes. I am going to bring my wife's car to him after seeing the job he did. Jimmy IbanezApril 15, 2025 I called around and received quotes from different shops. When I first spoke with Erick, he was very welcoming and informative. Skinztek provided a very fair quote for all of the work I wanted done and were always fast to respond. I just bought my vehicle and really wanted to get the PPF and ceramic done asap. Erick was gracious enough to make space in his schedule to get me in sooner. The PPF, ceramic coat and ceramic tints came out incredible. I would highly recommend Skinztek to anyone looking for a good quality job with some very nice people. Dante RodriguezApril 13, 2025 Service was excellent!! Booking the appointment was super easy! Erick was really professional! Definitely will be recommending my friends and family!Load moreGoogle rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 396 reviews
