5 Reasons to Hire a Tinting Pro

Applying window tint is a great way to upgrade your ride. Here are some reasons why you should hire a Pro.

Deciding to add tint to your vehicle’s windows is one of the smartest ways to improve its overall performance, comfort, safety, and style. While it is possible to find DIY kits on the market, there are many reasons why it makes sense to have the job done by an experienced professional. Here are some things to consider before rolling up your sleeves:

Knowledge of Regulations

Restrictions on level of window tint vary from province to province, and even city to city. The difference between a stylish ride and a violation ticket could only be a few percentages of the visible light transmission level (VLT). Professional window tinting companies stay up-to-date on all the regulations, and can help their customers stay on the right side of the law. If you want to avoid a costly fine, bring your car to a certified tint shop.

Quality

DIY kits are usually lower quality than comparable commercial grade products. The cheaper materials used to make DIY kits are prone to bubbling, tearing, and adhering improperly. DIY kits are generally difficult to work with, and it is extremely difficult to prevent tiny bits of dust and debris from sticking to the film.

One Strike and You’re Out

A proper application of window tint has no wrinkles, creases, bubbles, or trapped debris, and covers the entire glass surface. The nature of DIY window tint kits makes them a one-shot deal. If you make a mistake and have to remove the film, a sticky residue will be left behind on your window and the films won’t adhere properly the second time.

Guarantee

Most professional window tint companies offer a guarantee on their work. That way if something goes wrong, you have someone to hold accountable. However, if you make a mistake with a DIY kit, you have lost your own time and money, and may have to buy another kit for a second try.

Even though other dealers claim to offer limited warranties on their window films, Tint View offer a “No Hassle, No Fault” lifetime warranty on both the workmanship AND the product. If anything ever fails, fades, or is less than perfect, bring it in for a replacement.

Cost

You may think a professional tint job will always work out to be way more expensive than a DIY kit, however, this is not the case. DIY kits typically range from $120 for a small car up to $380 for a large van. The cheaper DIY kits don’t offer any of the protective qualities of commercial grade film, such as protecting your vehicle’s interior surfaces from UV rays. Commercial grade tint blocks harmful UV rays, keeping the inside of your vehicle comfortable and protecting you and the interior surfaces of your vehicle from damage. Professional shops buy high-quality film in bulk, so it will actually work out CHEAPER to have the job done by a pro.
