Yes — within limits. Washington law allows tint on the front side windows down to 24% VLT (visible light transmission), and any darkness on rear side windows and the back glass. Windshields can have a non-reflective tint above the AS-1 line or a clear ceramic strip. We'll walk you through every legal option for your vehicle before we cut a single sheet of film.

Pricing depends on the vehicle, the film, and the number of windows. As a real-world range: two front windows in ceramic typically run $130-$200, a full car tint runs $300-$550, and full + ceramic windshield runs $600-$900. We give exact pricing over the phone in under 60 seconds at 509-385-9694 — no upsell, no surprise add-ons at pickup.

Dyed film is the cheapest, blocks some light, fades to purple within a couple Spokane summers, and doesn't reject much heat. Carbon is a step up — better color stability, decent heat rejection, no signal interference. Ceramic is the top tier: blocks up to 99% of UV, rejects up to 96% of infrared heat, never fades to purple, and is completely signal-friendly. For Spokane's wide temperature swings, ceramic is what we recommend on almost every install.

Yes — if you install the right film. Cheap dyed tint mostly blocks visible light, which makes the cabin look darker but doesn't do much for heat. Ceramic film rejects infrared (IR) heat, which is the part of sunlight that actually warms your dashboard, seats, and steering wheel. Customers consistently report a noticeable temperature drop on day one, faster AC cool-down, and a dashboard that's safe to touch after sitting in the sun all afternoon.

Most full-car tints are finished in 2-4 hours depending on the vehicle. Two front windows take about 45 minutes. Trucks, SUVs, and Teslas with steep back glass take a bit longer because the film has to be heat-shaped to the curve. We schedule appointments so your car isn't sitting in a lot all day — drop it off, grab lunch, pick it up looking sharp.

Every ceramic and carbon install comes with a lifetime manufacturer warranty against bubbling, peeling, cracking, fading, and color change. The warranty is transferable to the next owner if you sell the vehicle — which actually adds to resale value. If anything ever goes wrong with the film, you call us, not a 1-800 number in another state.

Yes. Ceramic film has zero metal in it, so it won't interfere with GPS, cellular, Bluetooth, toll transponders, satellite radio, or any of the radar/LIDAR sensors that modern driver-assist systems rely on. We tint Teslas, Rivians, Mach-Es, Lightnings, and pretty much every modern EV in Spokane — the heat rejection actually helps EV range by reducing AC load on hot days.

Don't roll the windows down for 3-5 days while the film cures — that's it for the hard rule. You may see a little haze or tiny water bubbles during the first week; that's just trapped moisture evaporating through the film and it disappears on its own. After the cure window, clean with any ammonia-free glass cleaner and a microfiber towel. Avoid abrasive sponges or paper towels, and you're set for the life of the vehicle.
