How Much Does it Cost to Tint Your Car Here in North Carolina?
Good question, one price doesn’t fit all cars. As you read there are many factors such as film type and your model car installation difficulty level. I can give you some general ranges but for an exact price I would need to know which type of car you need worked on. As a guideline tinting two front doors only (like on a suv to match the back) range $120. – $200.00. A full car (consists of all side windows and the rear window) range $250.00 – $450.00 these are the two most common jobs we get asked to do. For additional job types please see the booking section of our site or call / text us at 919-421-1052.
Tesla Owners
We get a lot of Tesla model 3 in for tinted glass. Please note we have no problem doing a perfect one-piece back window installation. Yes! We can tint the entire glass in one piece. That said it is one of the hardest, most time consuming and requires extra film for the rear window.
The Bottom Line
How are you supposed to decide where to go and what to choose? Great question. In my experience the most important factor in getting a great window tinting installation is choosing a reputable shop you trust. Peace of mind has great value. In this case trusting someone to help you choose the best film for your needs, both the film quality level and the darkness. Trust the shop to work on your car, offer a fair price, and of course to do a great job installing the film. There is no substitute for experience. Film installation quality will make the greatest visual impact and last longer, more so then the brand choice. Nothing looks better than a perfect installation, free from defects and imperfections; seamless one-piece back windows and clean top edges on the doors.
