Whether you have a brand new car straight off the lot or have been driving the same car for ten years, window tinting can provide many benefits. If you’re already thinking about getting your car windows tinted, you’re probably asking yourself, “Is window tinting worth it?” When considering whether or not to tint your vehicle’s windows, there are several factors to keep in mind: 

  • Price 
  • Longevity 
  • Value  

Price: Is Window Tinting Worth the Money? 

Depending on the window tinting shop, cost can vary from relatively cheap to very expensive. However, with cost, you also have to consider quality. The price often reflects the quality of film you’re going to receive and the quality of the installation itself. While some window tinting installers may charge more, the quality and application will reflect the cost and last far longer than lower quality films. 

Longevity: How Long Does It Last? 

Depending on the quality of the film and the installation, the longevity of automotive window film varies. Lower quality films won’t stand the test of time as well higher quality window films. So while you may pay less money for a cheaper film, the fact that it won’t last over time will cost you more money in the end. Although higher-quality films may initially have a higher sticker price, their longevity means they’re a better investment. 

Value: What Are the Benefits?

Automotive window tint is a worthwhile investment for many reasons. Window tinting helps reflect heat, reduces glare, increases privacy, and adds style. Automotive films also block damaging ultraviolet rays. This benefits your vehicle’s occupants, but it also protects the interior. As the sun causes fading, adding automotive window film can prevent fading to keep your car’s interior looking like new for longer.
