Choose Your Auto Window Tint Opacity
While we offer several different shades of tint for your vehicle; which shade is best for you depends on how dark you prefer your windows and the opacity regulations in your state. Tint is measured by visible light transmission (VLT) – the lower the VLT percentage, the darker the tint. Here are the different levels of tint available*:
Clear Tint (100% VLT): Clear tint is nearly transparent and allows maximum light to pass through. It provides minimal privacy but may still offer UV protection.
Light Tint (90-80% VLT): Light tinting allows a significant amount of light to pass through while providing a slight reduction in glare. It’s often chosen for its subtle aesthetics and sun protection.
Medium Tint (70-50% VLT): Mid-level tinting moderately limits visible light, providing more privacy and improved heat rejection. It’s a popular choice for balancing aesthetics with functionality.
Dark Tint (40-20% VLT): Darker tinting provides increased privacy, glare reduction, and heat rejection. However, at this level, visibility from the inside may become an issue, particularly at night.
Very Dark Tint (5-20% VLT): This is the darkest legal limit in many places and is often referred to as ‘limo tint.’ It offers maximum privacy, UV protection, and heat rejection. Driver visibility will likely be challenging at this level.
*Keep in mind that tint regulations vary by state. Speak with your local Glass Doctor to learn more about your tinting options.

Benefits of Tinting Your Car Windows
- Improved Driver Safety: Driving with the sun glaring on your face can be uncomfortable and dangerous. Window film will help prevent harsh glares from the sun in areas where your sun visor cannot reach.
- Interior Vehicle Protection: Over time, the interior of your car will suffer from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Not only will your upholstery start to fade, but your dashboard and other surfaces will also fade, crack or warp. Blocking the most harmful rays will keep the interior of your vehicle looking great for years to come.
- Privacy & Security: It's not a great idea to advertise everything you have inside your vehicle. Dark window tinting offers a layer of privacy to keep prying eyes at bay. Plus, kids watching videos in the vehicle will enjoy glare-free entertainment, making the ride better for everyone.
- Added Comfort: Leaving a parked car in the sunlight will leave you with an unbearably hot situation when you return. Leather and vinyl seats can sting bare skin, and soaring temperatures can make your vehicle feel more like a sauna. Window film reduces the heat build-up inside the car.
Glare can obscure your vision and hinder your ability to see everything around you clearly. Front windshield tint can protect you from glare while blocking harmful UV rays, protecting your vehicle and you while on the road. Front window tint completes the driving experience by providing the same benefits to the windows.

Frequently Asked Questions About Window Tinting
We understand you may have more questions about window tinting for your vehicle, so we’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions below:
How much does it cost to tint car windows?
The cost of window tinting depends on several variables, including:
Vehicle Type: Larger vehicles with more windows or complex shapes can require additional material and time to install.
Type of Tint Film: Basic tint films are generally more affordable, while high-performance films with additional features (UV protection, heat rejection, etc.) may be more expensive.
Quality of Tint Material: Higher quality films with better durability and optical clarity may come at a higher cost.
Additional Features: Some films come with extra features such as anti-scratch coatings, color stability, or privacy enhancements, which can increase the final price.
While cost may vary depending on your preferences, one thing is certain: you’ll always receive upfront pricing from Glass Doctor. We’ll assess your needs and give you an upfront estimate; once that final quote is provided, that’s the price that you’ll pay. As long as your project remains the same, so does our price.

How long do window tints last on a vehicle?
The lifespan of window tints can vary depending on factors such as the quality of the tint film, environmental conditions, the application process, and the amount of care and maintenance. High-quality, professionally installed films can last ten years or longer.
How do I take care of my window tints?
To maintain your window tints, employ a gentle cleaning routine using an ammonia-free glass cleaner and microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or ammonia-based products, as these can damage the tint. When cleaning, be extra careful around the edges, where the tint is most vulnerable to peeling.
What is the best tint percentage?
The ideal tint percentage for your windows depends on personal preferences and legal regulations in your location. Generally, tints with VLT percentages between 70% and 50% are the most popular, as it provides an ideal balance between aesthetics, glare reduction, and privacy while remaining within legal limits for most states.
What is the best tint to keep your vehicle cool?
For optimal heat reduction, it's recommended to choose a window tint with a lower VLT percentage, typically ranging from 20% to 35%. A tint in this range effectively reduces the amount of sunlight entering the vehicle to enhance climate control and provide a more comfortable interior. Again, please keep in mind legal limits in your area when selecting your window tint.
