Why tint

More than just a darker window.

Good window tint does real work. It rejects heat so your cabin stays cooler, blocks UV rays that fade your interior and damage your skin, cuts glare, and adds privacy. A quality ceramic tint does all of that without the purple fade or bubbling that cheap film is known for, and ours is backed by a lifetime warranty.

Tint Packages

Pick your coverage.

Every package uses SunTek film and carries a lifetime warranty. Choose SunTek Carbon (Standard) or SunTek Evolve (Premium, nano-ceramic). Prices are quoted to your vehicle. We’ll confirm once we see it.

Two Front Windows

Upgrade your two front windows with excellent heat rejection and a clean, sleek look that complements the rest of your car. The film blocks harmful UV to protect your interior from fading and reduce skin exposure, cuts glare for a more comfortable drive, and adds a little extra privacy. Every install is backed by our lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship.

Full Vehicle

Wrap every window (windshield excluded) in SunTek film for all-around heat rejection, up to 99% UV protection, less glare, and added privacy. We also install Evolve, our premium nano-hybrid ceramic film, for even stronger heat rejection, all with a clean, factory-look finish and a lifetime warranty.

Windshield

Choose a sun strip across the top or full windshield coverage in SunTek Carbon film to cut heat, glare, and up to 99% of UV rays for a cooler, more comfortable drive. Please note: windshield tint is illegal in Illinois, so this one’s offered at your discretion and isn’t covered by warranty. We recommend checking your local laws first.

Sunroof / Moonroof

Keep the sun overhead from heating up your cabin. SunTek film on your sunroof blocks direct sunlight for superior heat rejection, stops up to 99% of UV rays, and cuts glare, all with a clean look inside and out. We also install Evolve, our premium nano-hybrid ceramic film, for even stronger heat rejection, backed by a lifetime warranty.

Headlight & Taillight Tint

Smoke out your lights for a custom look.

Two ways to go

Standard or premium. Your call.

Both are SunTek, both carry a lifetime warranty. The difference is how hard they work.

SunTek Carbon

Deep matte-black look

A carbon film with a deep, matte-black look that blocks UV and cuts glare, without ever fading purple.

SunTek Evolve

Nano-hybrid ceramic · HeatResist

Built on SunTek’s HeatResist™ nanoparticle technology, Evolve rejects up to 94% of infrared heat and blocks over 99% of UV, keeping your cabin cooler and your interior protected while cutting glare and skin exposure.

The film we use

SunTek, built to last.

We install SunTek window film in two tiers, Carbon and Evolve. It rejects heat and UV, cuts glare, and won’t turn purple or bubble like cheap tint. The premium Evolve line uses SunTek’s HeatResist ceramic tech for up to 94% infrared heat rejection and over 99% UV rejection. Every install is backed by a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship.

Amazing tint job. This crew does excellent work. I’ve had three vehicles detailed or tinted. I’ve seen many of the PPF work they’ve done and it’s amazing. I highly recommend this business.

Had my Audi tint matched today by the crew over at Detail Tech and it came out fantastic! Everything there is machine cut so no random ends or weird lines when they do it. Highly recommend the crew over there!

Yes, both a strip across the top and a full windshield tint. We’ll help you stay within legal limits.
