Window tint
Window tint is a thin film applied to the inside of the glass. It cuts heat and glare, blocks UV and adds privacy.
What tint does
- Heat: the cabin stays cooler in the sun
- Glare: easier on the eyes when driving into bright light
- UV: film blocks UV that fades the interior
- Privacy: harder to see into the car
How a visit works
Tell us the car and which windows you want tinted. We'll go through the film options with you when you come in, then fit the film in the workshop.
Tint, PPF and ceramic
Tint covers the glass. PPF protects the paint from chips, and a ceramic coating makes it easier to clean. Many owners do two or all three at once.
