How Much Does It Cost To Tint Car Windows?
Home » Aftermarket Car Parts » Tinted Car Windows » How Much Does It Cost To Tint Car Windows?The price for a car tint can vary dramatically from the cheapest fly-by-night shop at $100 to the luxury tint shop's $400 or more. But even these prices depend on many factors.
A small percentage of cars are harder to tint than others. When getting a price quote, a tint shop will always ask you for the make and the model of the car. Tint shops know which cars take more time to tint properly. They often charge a premium to tint some cars with steep and curved rear windows. Additionally, each additional square foot of window on your vehicle requires more window film to tint. This makes tinting a SUV or station wagon cost more than a sedan.
There are wide performance and cost differences in tinting film. The cheapest tinting film can be many times less in price than more expensive film. But remember, you get what you pay for. Cheap film may look good at the beginning, but they can fail to block the summer heat, fade, turn purple, or bubble soon after installation. Higher quality window film such as fully-metallized, sputtered or deposition window films offer both advanced performance and a lifetime warranty.
Most warrantees only cover problems such as cracking, glazing, bubbling and peeling. Some films carry a Color-Safe Warranty that gives you peace of mind that if the color of your tint ever changes, it will be replaced. The best warrantees are transferable which allows you to transfer the warranty to another person when you sell the car. This adds permanent value to your car. It is recommended that you ask about the Performance Warranty before you pay for tinting services from any tint shop. These warranties's can last from 1 year to a Lifetime.
Reputable tint shops have high standards in which they hire, the film they use and overall customer service and experience. This will increase the cost for them to do business and they charge more as a result.
