What are reasonable window tint prices?

The price for a car tint can vary dramatically from the cheapest fly-by-night tint shop from $100 to the luxury tint shop's $400or more or merely $80 for a DIY car tint kit. For each of these situations, the price can be considered reasonable. If we really break it down, a reasonable price is depends on the following factors:


Oddly, this is a even harder subject than explaining how window film works. The price for a car tint can vary dramatically from the cheapest fly-by-night tint shop from $100to the luxury tint shop's $400 or more or merely $80 for a DIY car tint kit. For each of these situations, the price can be considered reasonable. If we really break it down, a reasonable price is depends on the following factors:


 


Your Car Type


Quite simply, a small percentage of cars are harder to tint than others. When getting a price quote, a tint shop always asks you for the make and model of your car. This isn't to see how much money you have and charge you up the wazoo. (Often it is with less reputable tinters)


Tinters know which cars take more time to tint properly. Some cars with steep and curved rear windows like the Volkswagen Beetle or Corvette tinters often charge a premium to tint. Additionally, each additional square foot of window on your vehicle requires more window film to tint. This makes tinting a SUV or station wagons cost more than sedans.


Type of Tinting Film


Just like comparing a Hyundai to a Porsche, there are wide performance and cost differences in tinting film. The cheapest tinting film is many times less in price than top quality window film. Again, you get what you pay for.


Cheap film may look good at the beginning, but they can fail to block the summer heat, fade, turn purple, or bubble soon after installation. Higher quality window film such as fully-metallized sputtered or deposition window films like Solar Grad HP films offer both advanced performance and a lifetime warranty. These films are worth the higher price.
