Window Tinting is a polyester based film that is intended to be applied to the inside of the glass. There are many types, shades and brands to meet a wide range of requirements. Specific to cars, window film, reduces heat build-up inside, reduces glare from headlights and the sun, and blocks UV Rays helping to reduce the chances of skin cancer. *Window film is endorsed by the Skin Cancer Foundation. Other benefits include added privacy and, of course, it looks great!
The process can be described in a few steps, however as easy as it may sound look paper it is rather difficult. Each car has its own unique challenge.
Car window tinting gives your vehicle a sleek, modern, and upscale look that highlights its design.
On trucks, suv’s and Jeeps with factory rear tint many people tint the front windows to match the back windows.
Some people don’t want to be seen in their car however more commonly privacy tint is about protecting babies and tools and such from easily being seen.
Depending on the film you choose tint can block up to 97% of IR heat and 70% of overall heat.
We all know about the harmful effects of UV rays on our skin and our children’s skin. Unless you are diligent in applying sunscreen every time you get in your car; window tinting is a great option, as it blocks 99% of UVA&B rays.
Whether from the sun or oncoming headlights glare can interfere with your ability to see while driving. Window film helps this need. When it comes to glare the darker the film the better protection.
Window film tends to hold broken glass together. If for any unfortunate reason your glass is shattered it normally stays held together by the film.
Good question, one price doesn’t fit all cars. There are many factors such as the type of film you choose, the specific year, make & model car you have, and the level of installation expertise required. I can give you some general ranges but for an exact price I would need to know which type of car you need worked on. As a guideline tinting two front doors only (like on a suv to match the back) range $120. – $200.00. A full car (consists of all side windows and the rear window) range $250.00 – $475.00 these are the two most common jobs we get asked to do.

How are you supposed to decide where to go and what to choose? Great question. In my experience the most important factor in getting a great window tinting installation is choosing a reputable shop you trust. Peace of mind has great value. In this case entrusting someone to help you choose the best film for your needs, both the film quality level and the darkness.
Confidence in the shop to work on your car, offer a fair price, and of course to do a great job installing the film. There is no substitute for experience. Film installation quality will make the greatest visual impact and last longer, more so then the brand choice. Nothing looks better than a perfect installation, free from defects and imperfections; seamless one-piece back windows and clean top edges on the doors.
