Question 1

What are the legal tint limits in Texas?

Accepted Answer

Texas law requires at least 25% visible light transmission (VLT) on front side windows. Rear side windows and the back windshield can have any darkness level. The windshield can only have tint on the top 5 inches or above the AS-1 line. We help every customer choose the darkest legal option for their vehicle.

Question 2

What is the difference between ceramic, carbon, and dyed tint?

Accepted Answer

Ceramic tint is the premium option that blocks up to 99% of UV rays and up to 96% of infrared heat without interfering with electronics. Carbon tint offers up to 70% heat rejection with a matte finish at a mid-range price. Dyed tint is the most affordable option, providing privacy and glare reduction but with less heat rejection (up to 35%) than ceramic or carbon films.

Question 3

How much does window tinting cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on the type of film, your vehicle size, and which windows you want tinted. Basic dyed tint packages start at an affordable rate, while premium ceramic tint for full vehicles ranges higher. We offer free quotes and transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Contact us for an exact quote tailored to your vehicle.

Question 4

How long does window tint installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most installations take between 2 to 4 hours depending on the number of windows and vehicle type. Full vehicle tints, including the windshield, may take slightly longer. We offer same-day service for most vehicles when you drop off in the morning.

Question 5

How do I care for my new window tint?

Accepted Answer

After installation, keep your windows rolled up for at least 3 to 5 days to allow the adhesive to fully cure. During the curing period, you may notice small water bubbles or a hazy appearance, which is completely normal and will disappear. Once cured, clean with a soft cloth and ammonia-free window cleaner.

Question 6

Does window tint come with a warranty?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our ceramic and carbon window tints come with a lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling, cracking, and fading. Dyed tint installations include a 3-year warranty. If any issues arise with your tint, bring your vehicle back and we will take care of it at no charge.

Question 7

Will window tint interfere with my car electronics?

Accepted Answer

Our ceramic and carbon films are metal-free and will not interfere with GPS, cell phone signals, Bluetooth, or satellite radio. This is especially important for Tesla and other vehicles with advanced electronics and touchscreens.

Question 8

Can you tint Tesla vehicles?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We specialize in Tesla tinting and have tinted hundreds of Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck vehicles. We use computer-cut patterns designed specifically for Tesla glass and recommend ceramic tint to maximize heat rejection on their large glass roofs.

Question 9

Can old window tint be removed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer professional tint removal services. Over time, old tint can bubble, turn purple, or peel. Our team carefully removes old film and adhesive residue without damaging your glass or defroster lines, leaving your windows ready for a fresh installation.

Question 10

Do you tint windshields?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer clear and lightly tinted ceramic windshield films that block significant UV and infrared heat while maintaining excellent visibility. Texas law allows tint on the top 5 inches of the windshield. Many customers choose a full windshield ceramic film for maximum heat protection.

Question 11

What is the best tint for Houston heat?

Accepted Answer

We recommend ceramic window tint for the best heat rejection in Houston. Ceramic film blocks up to 96% of infrared heat, keeping your interior significantly cooler and reducing air conditioning load. It is the best investment for comfort and protection in the Texas climate.

Question 12

Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?

Accepted Answer

We accept both appointments and walk-ins, but we recommend booking an appointment to guarantee your preferred time slot. Appointments can be made online through our booking page, by phone, or by text. Walk-ins are welcome based on availability.
