Automotive window tinting is a popular option for drivers who want to customize their cars. We specialize in tinting car windows.
A common question asked by people interested in darkened glass is how much does it cost to tint car windows. There isn’t a simple answer because many factors will affect car window tinting prices. Among them are:
- The quality and type of tint you want to install.
- The model of your vehicle.
- How much glass space you plan to cover.
In very general terms, and depending on the quality and features of the material used, car window tinting costs for a sedan can be $200 to $500. For large vans and SUVs, the price of installing window tint could reach $1,000 or more.
We can do your car tinting in about two hours or less, depending on the number of windows. The longest part of the process is meticulously cleaning the windows before applying the tinted film. Even a tiny bit of lint on a window can produce an unprofessional outcome.
How Long Does Window Tint Last?
Expect Xpel Window Tint to last up for 5yrs or more with a Warranty. However, tinting lifespan varies depending on the type of film, product quality, installation quality, and how well you maintain it after installation. Warranties generally cover bubbling, cracking, and peeling. We offer a complete tint warranty paperwork after installation and keep all receipts and information from our shop.
