What Are Reasonable Window Tint Prices?

What are reasonable window tint prices?

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 $100 to 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 many 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 Volkswagon 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 SolarGard HP films offer both advanced performance and a lifetime warranty. These films are worth the higher price.

Performance Warranty

You are highly encouraged to ask about the Performance Warranty before you pay for tinting services from anybody. Typically these Warranty's can last from as little as 1 year to a Lifetime.

Not all Warrantees are created equal! Most warrantees only cover problems such as cracking, glazing, bubbling, and peeling. Some films carry a "Color-Safe Warranty" that gives you peace of mind that if the color of your tint ever changes, it will be replaced. The best warrantees are "Transferable" which allow you to transfer the warranty to another person when you sell the car. This adds permanent value to your car.

Be Careful! Irresponsible tint shops can also offer "Lifetime Warrantees"; however, if they go out of business next year, who is there to replace your bubbling tint? You should always factor in this "hidden" cost when buying low priced car tint.

Dealer's Reputation

Reputable Tint Shops take great pride in their work. They have high standards in who they hire, the film they use, and overall customer service and experience.

Naturally, this increases the cost for them to do business, and they charge more as a result. To make sure you are talking to a quality dealer, ask these questions when choosing a tint shop .

There are two excellent window tinting resources that you should consider when buying car tint:

Pre-Cut Car Tint Kits at http://www.snaptint.com is an easy and affordable way to tint your car. The kits are priced at $60 for a 2 door coupe and $80 for a 4 door sedan. You get top quality Solargard HP film, better than most professionals use. The film is cut precisely to your car's exact window dimensions. Simply take a couple of hours during an afternoon and install it yourself at home.

Car Tint Price Quote at http://www.tintcenter.comtakes the guesswork out of who is a reputable dealer in your area. TintCenter dealers deliver quality film and quality service at reasonable prices.

Good luck on your window film shopping adventure.

A Joy Ride for Car Poolers

by: Suraj Gupta


Car pooling in India could not be so rescuing when it came to getting away with an offence, you bet.

This one has the members who have great time while ridesharing. Five in number, they are an all-women group. They are all giggly, chubby and blissfully overweight. When they laugh it means hard time for the axles of the car they are carpooling by as they shake and jump. The car literally screams under their bulge and pounds.

The five hardly fit in but it is the most comfortable and hilarious period of time, about an hour, which has brought delight to these five-some.

The journey to their places of work begins with the part-breakfast they all share. Part-breakfast means the second round of breakfast they relish after the one at home. Hence the stress is to bring the tastiest and most innovative for the breakfast on the go. There is sort of a competition. Needless to say, the contest to have an edge over the other in terms of what better dish one can bring for the ride, have even their bulges competing.

Not long back they were stopped by a traffic policeman. The offence was that the driver was using her mobile. He explained the fine. Rs 1000 and no escape from it. The carpool came to a halt. The lingering taste of cheese sandwiches they had just had turned sour. The punishment was not small and by agreement all had to share all kinds of expenses while on car sharing.

The most outspoken of them approached the policeman with an amazing determination. “We do not have that kind of money and tell us what you expect us to do when there is an urgent call and no place to park the car”. You should use hands-free device, retorted the policeman, fishing out his complaint note book. “You make take our car as we have no money,” she insisted. The policeman was nonplussed. The bunch of big bulks and now the car to take care. “I can give you a concession. Pay up 500 upfront and get going”, he offered. “You mean bribe? “Now we must go to your police station even if it means paying a heavier fine, as we must report against you”. The cop realized the ordeal to follow. Mellowed down, he said,” I let you go for the first offence, now can you offer me what you ladies had been eating before you stopped.” They were all giggles and a sandwich was extended to the cop as thanksgiving.

Car pooling in India could not be so rescuing when it came to getting away with an offence, you bet.
