WINDOW TINT
Window tinting in Farmington Hills — cooler glass, less glare, the right shade.
XPEL nano-ceramic tint that cuts the heat and the squint without turning your windows into a black mirror — dialed to a shade that actually looks right on your car.
We use XPEL's nano-ceramic film, not the cheap dyed stuff.
It blocks a good share of the infrared heat and UV that come through the glass, without needing to go dark to do it. The cabin runs cooler on a hot day, your AC works less, and the dash and seats take less sun — at whatever shade actually looks right on your car.
A clean look, in the shade that's right for your car.
We take the time to get it even and clean, in a shade that suits the car instead of a one-size dark. Nano-ceramic holds its color better than the cheap dyed stuff that tends to go purple. It looks clean the day you pick it up; how long it keeps that look owes something to how the car's looked after, and we'll tell you straight what to expect.
The honest version
What tint won't do.
Tint knocks down heat and glare and dials in the look — it isn't a security or a privacy guarantee, and it's not a cure-all. Darker isn't automatically better, either: go too dark and you can give up some visibility at night, which you'll notice backing out of a dark driveway. We'll help you land on a shade you'll be happy living with day to day.
What it costs
The whole price list.
Tint is the flat-priced service here: the film tier and the body style set the number, and that's the entire formula. Carbon, Ceramic, and Double Ceramic are the three film-quality tiers we install, priced in that order. Here's all of it.
| Film tier | Sedan — sides + rear | Coupe — sides + rear | SUV / Truck — sides + rear | Windshield — any vehicle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon | $325 | $300 | $350 | $200 |
| Ceramic | $375 | $350 | $400 | $250 |
| Double Ceramic | $425 | $400 | $450 | $300 |
Shade never changes the price — go as light or as dark as suits the car, the number holds. And a few oversized windshields (the Tesla Model X is the usual example) take a special roll and are quoted individually.
Every quote is still per-vehicle — these numbers frame the quote, they don't replace it.
How it's done
Cut to pattern for your exact glass.
Tint isn't hand-cut the way our paint protection film is — and it shouldn't be. The film is cut to pattern for your exact glass, right here in the Farmington Hills studio, and we take the same time to get it even and clean.
Michigan also has rules about which windows can be tinted and how dark. We'll walk you through what's legal for your vehicle before anything touches the car — and we'd rather talk you out of a shade you'd regret than sell it to you.
We back our tint work, and the XPEL tint we install carries XPEL's own manufacturer warranty — a lifetime term against fading, bubbling, and discoloration. We'll show you exactly what's covered before you book.
Straight answers
Questions we actually get.
How much does window tint cost in Farmington Hills?
Sides and rear run $300–450, set by film tier and body style — the full matrix is above. Windshields are $200, $250, or $300 by tier, the same on any vehicle.
Does a darker shade cost more?
No. Shade never changes the price. The film tier and the body style set the number, and it holds whether you go light or dark.
What's the difference between Carbon, Ceramic, and Double Ceramic?
They're the three film-quality tiers we install, priced in that order. What each step up buys you is easier shown than told — come look in person and we'll tell you straight which one makes sense for your car.
Is tint hand-cut like your PPF?
No — and that's deliberate. PPF is hand-cut to your car's actual panels; tint is cut to pattern for your exact glass. Two different films, two different right ways to work them.
What about Michigan's tint law?
Michigan has rules about which windows can be tinted and how dark. We'll walk you through what's legal for your vehicle before anything touches the car and land on a shade that works within it.
Is the tint warrantied?
We back our tint work, and the XPEL tint we install carries XPEL's own manufacturer warranty — the plain version is on the warranty page, and we'll show you exactly what's covered before you book.
