What is Car Window Tinting?
How It Works
Window tinting involves applying a thin, transparent film to the interior of your vehicle’s glass surfaces. These films block out heat, UV rays, and glare while adding a layer of privacy.
Common Tint Types
Dyed – Entry-level film with basic privacy and glare reduction
Carbon – Non-metallic, durable tint with heat rejection
Ceramic – High-end option offering maximum UV and heat protection
Why San Antonio Drivers Choose Window Tinting
Beat the Texas Heat
San Antonio drivers know the summer sun can bake your car’s interior. Quality tint can block up to 60% of solar heat, keeping your cabin cool.
Block Harmful UV Rays
Our tints protect you and your passengers from up to 99% of UVA/UVB rays, reducing skin damage and preventing your upholstery from fading or cracking.
Enhance Privacy and Security
Window tint adds a layer of privacy while also shielding valuables from plain view—deterring theft.
