Common Questions About Window Tinting
Is window tint legal in Illinois?
Yes. Illinois allows tinting on all windows depending on how your car was configured from the factory. We’ll help you choose a film that’s compliant.
Will tint make my car too dark at night?
Not with our films. High-quality ceramic tint blocks heat and UV without making the car overly dark, maintaining good visibility at night.
How long does it take to tint a car?
Most vehicles take 2–3 hours depending on size and window count. You can drop it off and we’ll text when it’s ready.
What’s the difference between ceramic and regular tint?
Ceramic tint uses advanced nano-ceramic particles that block heat and UV without metal or dye. It lasts far longer, won’t interfere with signals, and performs much better in summer heat.
Does tint protect my interior?
Yes. UV rays are the main cause of cracking and fading in dashboards, leather, and plastics. Tint blocks those rays and preserves your vehicle’s interior.
How long before I can roll down my windows?
We recommend waiting at least 3–5 days after installation for the film to fully cure.
Will it bubble or peel over time?
Not with professional installation and quality film. We only use Autobahn backed by lifetime and no fault manufacturer warranties.
Can you remove or replace old tint?
Yes. We can safely remove old, bubbled, or purple tint and replace it with modern film that performs and looks better.
Do you offer windshield tinting?
We offer light ceramic film for windshields that’s virtually clear but still blocks heat and glare — perfect for comfort without changing visibility.
Can you tint trucks, Jeeps, or RVs?
Absolutely. We handle everything from luxury sedans to lifted trucks, Jeeps, and full-size RVs.
