Car Window Tint Cost: What You Need to Know
Your cost can vary depending on your type of car and the type of tint you want. We've got everything you need to know so you get the right car window tint cost.
Are you looking to give your car more protection against the harsh sun in the Atlanta area? Do you want to make an addition that's as energy-efficient as it is aesthetically pleasing? If so, then you need to invest in car window tinting for your vehicle.
That said, you shouldn't just invest in any type of window tint. You need to understand the different factors that drive the window tint cost so that you'll have more confidence as you shop.
See below for an in-depth guide on auto window tinting, the cost of it, the benefits of it, and so much more.
What Factors Affect Window Tint Cost?
First off, we want to warn you of one thing: you'll find window tinting services available in a wide range of price points. That can be good and bad because you might wind up using a service of poor quality.
The key is to focus on the return for your investment. Wouldn't you gladly pay a bit more to invest in a trusted brand of window tint film that's being installed by an experienced and trusted company? Us too!
If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Find a reputable service that can give you the results you're looking for. See below for more information on the factors that drive the cost of auto window tinting.
The Window Tint Film Brand You Install
We briefly touched on this already, but it bears worth repeating: only invest in trusted window film brands to be installed on your car's windows. Anything less will give you an undesirable experience. The film won't last as long.
LLumar is the most trusted window film brand in the industry. It's the only brand that we use for our auto window tinting services due to its durability, reputation, and clean look.
As you might expect, the better the brand, the higher the cost. That said, you'll pay more over time when you invest in a cheaper brand since it will require you to reapply the film far more often. If you're looking for a higher return on your investment, then LLumar is the brand for you.
Your Car's Windows
Different car owners want to achieve different things with their tinted windows. That's why we offer so much flexibility on our services. It gives us the ability to create a custom price for your desired look.
There are a few factors about your windows that will affect the price of your installation. First is the number of windows that you want to be tinted. The more windows you wish to be tinted, the higher the price will be.
The second factor is the size of your windows. If you come in for an initial appointment, we can measure the size of the windows you want to be tinted, then give you a more accurate quote. We can also use standard measurements based on your car's year, make, model, and trim level.
The Level of Tint You Desire
Another heavy factor in the price of your installation will be the level of tint you wish for your window film.
We're happy to give you options and fulfill any tint level that you wish. However, it's important to factor in the legal limits that the state of Georgia has for how dark you can tint your windows.
The rules are specific to sedans and SUVs/vans, as well as the location of the window. Here's a breakdown:
Sedans
- Windshield: Non-reflective tint isn't allowed on the top 6 inches
- Front and Back Side Windows: Must let no fewer than 32-percent of light through
- Rear Windows: Must let no fewer than 32-percent of light through
SUVs/Vans
- Windshield: Non-reflective tint isn't allowed on the top 6 inches
- Front Side Windows: Must let no fewer than 32-percent of light through
- Back Side Windows: Can be as dark as you wish
- Rear Windows: Can be as dark as you wish
As far as reflection, the state of Georgia requires that the surface isn't any higher than 20-percent reflective. We know the laws well around here and can help you achieve a legal tint that accomplishes your desired look.
Questions to Ask Car Window Tinting Company
For those of you looking for a price range, here's your answer: car window tinting can cost anywhere from $100 to $800 depending on the different factors that were provided above.
The beauty of it is that you can customize your window tint job to check all of the boxes. It will give you the look that you're wanting, while also helping you meet your budget.
That said, you'll want to have a few questions lined up for the auto window tinting company that you hire to install your window film. See below for ideas:
- Does the car window tint come with a warranty? What are the details of the warranty? (Don't get one without a warranty)
