Car Tinting Services Chicago IL

Yes! Tinting windows in your car does not only serve aesthetic purposes but also plays a significant role in protecting you and your passengers from harmful UV rays and glare. As a result — you are more concentrated and safe on the road.

• Creation of a stylish and unique look of your car
• Adjusting the shade of the windows to the color of the vehicle
• Protection of the car from harmful UVA and UVB rays
• Protection of car windows from mechanical and chemical damage 
• Heat rejection (even if the car is parked in the direct sun)
• Fuel economy based on reducing the amount of solar energy entering the car, therefore, the need of air conditioning
• Protection of the car seats and interior in general from fading
• Window reinforcement (in case of accident a tinted window glass is unlikely to shed)
• Extra safety (the valuable inside of the car are not visible from the outside) and privacy.

The car window tinting industry is presented by hundreds of types of films. That’s why referring to professionals is important: they now which window tinting films don’t fade, don’t peel, can be both comfortably installed or removed — and protect you and your vehicle the best possible way.

Throughout the years of work we’ve tried multiple solutions and, by testing the films’ performances, have narrowed our preferences down to just two brands — 3M and Rayno. The technology that they use for top models is quite striking — for example, the world’s first carbon ceramic film Rayno S9 has nano-scaled carbon particles that provide color stability (while not compromising the visual clarity) and nano-encapsulated ceramic particles for durability and heat rejection.

Here at Tinting Chicago prices for the whole сar window tinting, excluding the windshield, start from $250. The cost can be higher for labor intensive jobs, tint installation for rare vehicles etc. Windshield tinting is illegal in the US — but there are exemptions such as invisible films that provide 70% to 90% UV rejection. Tinting windshield this way on a sedan would cost from $100.

Each state has its own car window tinting legal regulations. Illinois, where we are based, is quite representative: it allows 35`% tinting for the whole vehicle without a windshield — and a 5% tinted maximum 6-inch strip on a windshield. Two front windows can be tinted with 50% or more and you can install film of any darkness to the rear window.

Yes, in 99% cases. We can remove most of the window tints with the help of the steamer and mild chemical solutions. It mostly depends on the quality of the old film: if it was high, it would come off easily. That’s why it is so important to install quality auto tinting films in the first place. 

It depends on the kind of the film. Top brands like 3M and Rayno that we work with provide life-time guarantee against bubbling, fading, color change. The same with the quality of our work: Tinting Chicago provides life-time labor guarantees. The only thing that these warranties don’t cover is the mechanical damage.

Usually the whole process takes 1,5-2 hours for a sedan or an SUV. Rare or “difficult” models like Volkswagen Beetle, Chevrolet Corvet or pretty much all Porches can take up to 4 hours and more.

Yes. It is highly recommended to wait as the film is very fresh and needs some time. Before rolling your windows down after they’ve been tinted, wait for about 3 days in summer and 7 days in winter.

We will do our best to manage the darkness difference up to 4%, but we cannot 100% match the color of the film. The reason for it — unique shades and color schemes that each manufacturer uses. But usually the difference in color from the factory one that we provide to our customers is almost invisible.

Yes. Window tinting is a meticulous process that involves working with sticky and glossy surfaces. Therefore, the environment, where it has to be done, must be dust-free and properly lightened. And Tinting Chicago has just the perfect space for this.
