Window Tint Pricing
“We used Springs Detailing for an interior detail and 20% window tint. The staff was so helpful in explaining everything to us and breaking down the packages. They showed me examples and explained the differences in tint. The tint came out amazing and feels like a brand new car. So much privacy, less sun glare and others cars headlights don’t bother my eyes now. The interior of the car was perfect. Looks like a brand new car again! We’re from out of town here on work, but if we lived here I would absolutely use them again!” ~ Jeremy TravelRN

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of automotive window tinting?
Window tinting offers several benefits, including enhanced privacy, reduced glare and heat, protection against harmful UV rays, and added style to your vehicle. It helps keep the interior cool, protects upholstery from fading, and provides a more comfortable driving experience.
What window tint levels do you offer?
5%, 15%, 20%, 30%, 35%, 45%, 55%, 70%. The lower the percentage, the darker the tint. For instance, a window with a 5% tint is very dark (think Limo Tint), permitting only 5% of visible light to pass through. In contrast, a window with a 70% tint is much lighter (essentially clear), allowing 70% of visible light to pass through.
Do tinted windows help prevent car break-ins?
While window tint adds a layer of privacy, it is not specifically designed to prevent car break-ins. However, it can make it more difficult for potential thieves to see inside your vehicle and may deter some break-in attempts.
How much does car Window Tint installation cost?
The cost of window tinting varies depending on factors such as the size of the vehicle, the number of windows, the type of film used, and the complexity of the installation. Our prices start at $125 to $175 for 2 windows, then increases from there for additional windows. For a more accurate estimate, contact a Springs Detailing expert.
What is the warranty on auto window tint?
The warranty can vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific type of film used. Generally, reputable brands offer warranties ranging from 5 to 10 years, covering issues such as bubbling, cracking, or peeling of the film. With our XPEL Prime window tint install, expect a lifetime transferable warranty.
Can I roll down my windows after getting them tinted?
After getting your windows tinted, it is typically recommended to wait for a few days before rolling them down. This allows the tint to fully cure and adhere properly to the windows. Springs Detailing will provide specific instructions regarding the curing period.
Will window tint damage my car windows?
When installed by a tint technician at Springs Detailing, window tint will not damage your vehicle’s windows. The film adheres to the glass surface without affecting the structural integrity of the window.
How do I clean tinted windows?
To clean tinted windows, use a mild, ammonia-free cleaning solution and a soft microfiber cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or rough materials that can scratch or damage the tint. Gently wipe the surface in a straight motion without applying excessive pressure.
Can I do it myself?
While it is possible to apply window tint yourself, it can be a challenging task that requires skill and experience to achieve a professional-looking result. Improper installation often leads to bubbling, creasing, or peeling of the film. It is recommended to have window tinting done by a professional, such as Springs Detailing, to ensure a proper fit and finish.
How long does window tint last?
Quality window tint can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years or more. In Colorado Springs, where we experience diverse weather conditions, proper installation and care are crucial for longevity. High-end ceramic or carbon films tend to last longer than basic dyed films. Regular maintenance can help extend the life of your tint.
Can I tint my windshield?
In Colorado, you can tint the top 4 inches of your windshield. This strip, often called an “eyebrow,” helps reduce glare without obstructing your view. Full windshield tinting is generally not allowed, except for medical reasons with proper documentation. Always check local laws before tinting any windows on your vehicle.
How do I care for my window tint?
To keep your window tint looking great:
- Wait at least a week after installation before washing
- Use soft, lint-free cloths and ammonia-free cleaners
- Avoid abrasive materials or sharp objects
- Don’t roll down freshly tinted windows for a few days
- Park in shaded areas when possible to reduce heat stress
Following these tips will help maintain your tint’s appearance and performance, especially in Colorado Springs’ varying climate.
What happens if the tint gets scratched or damaged?
If your window tint gets scratched or damaged, it’s best to have it professionally repaired or replaced. Small scratches might be buffed out, but larger damage often requires replacing the entire tinted panel.
Is window tint safe in case of an accident?
Quality window tint can actually enhance safety during an accident. It helps hold shattered glass together, reducing the risk of flying shards. This can be especially beneficial in Colorado Springs, where hail storms are common. However, very dark tint might make it harder for emergency responders to see inside your car, so balance is key.
Can window tint block GPS or cell phone signals?
Most modern window tints don’t significantly interfere with GPS or cell phone signals. Metalized films might cause some interference, but ceramic and carbon films are signal-friendly. If you’re concerned, ask your installer about signal-friendly options.
Can window tint improve fuel efficiency?
Window tint can indirectly improve fuel efficiency by reducing the need for air conditioning. By blocking heat and UV rays, especially during hot Colorado Springs summers, tinted windows keep your car cooler. This means your AC doesn’t have to work as hard, potentially saving fuel. While the effect is small, every little bit helps both your wallet and the environment.
