FAQ

Answering Your Questions

Got more questions? Reach out to us using the button below

How much does tinting cost?

It depends on the vehicle, how many windows, and the film you go with. A basic sedan runs different than a full SUV or a ceramic package. Fastest way to a real number is to send us the car and what you're after, and we'll quote you.

How long does an install take?

Most full vehicle tints are done same day, usually a few hours depending on the car. PPF and ceramic take longer since the prep matters more. We'll give you a real timeframe when you book so you can plan your day around it.

Will tint help with heat and glare?

Yes, and it's the main reason a lot of people come in beyond the look. Quality film cuts the heat coming through your glass, knocks down glare on sunny days, and blocks the UV that fades your interior and cracks your dash over time. The better the film, the bigger the difference.

Is your tint legal in Illinois?

Illinois has specific limits on how dark you can go, and the rules are different for sedans versus SUVs and vans. We know the law and we'll tell you exactly what's legal for your vehicle before we touch it, so you get the look you want without worrying about a ticket. If you want darker than legal on the rear, we'll walk you through your options.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes. Our film is backed by a lifetime warranty, so if it ever bubbles, peels, or fades, we take care of it. That's the difference between quality film installed right and the cheap stuff that looks good for a year and then turns purple.

Can you remove old or bubbling tint?

We do. Old tint that's bubbling, peeling, or turned purple comes off and we lay down fresh film that actually lasts. Removal is its own job, so let us know it's a re-tint when you reach out and we'll factor it into the quote.

Do you tint homes and businesses too?

Yes. Alongside cars we do residential and commercial glass, whether that's cutting heat in a sunroom, adding privacy to a storefront, or knocking down glare in an office. Same quality film, same clean install.

How do I care for my tint after install?

Give it a few days to fully cure before rolling your windows down, and hold off on cleaning them for about a week. After that, just use a soft cloth and an ammonia-free cleaner.
