- What kind of films do you carry? What warranty do you offer on your work?

Stores carry a full line of color quality window film from one or multiple window film manufacturers. They should carry dyed, hybrid, and metallic window films in a variety of colors and darknesses. Beware of stores colors that only carry one or two types of film, and sells them aggressively. They may have acquired this film on sale, and may not think about your unique needs and concerns.

Match the color of the car varies depending on the window film you choose. TintCenter suggest you install only window film backed with a lifetime warranty for materials and labor. Most films do not guarantee color and fading, it is recommended that you also choose one that does not.

Good dealers pay attention to customer service. They should be happy and willing to spend time to talk to you and explain how their shops work. Remember, if they do not spend time with you know, they will spend time with you when there is something wrong with the color of your job?

A work area should store the colors in the room and clean. Tools and window films are professionally arranged. If the store color outdoors or in the parking lot, this is negative because it is very important to remove all dust and dirt from the windows before applying window film.

Now look at the cars they already colored. Note the side-window. Window film should be applied within and completely flush against all 4 edges of the window. Now look at the window film itself. Do not worry if the film itself looks slightly streaky and discolored, window film takes a couple weeks to dry out and become completely clear. If there are air bubbles under the film or the film itself is not complete flat against the window, this is a sure sign of sloppy tinting.

Finally, look at the rear window. Is the window film applied in one piece or pieces that surround the defroster lines? Stores the color most skilled always apply the film one piece. Now look at the border of the rear window, in many cars there are black 'frit' edge on the window, make sure the window film looks attached to the frit as well.

Finally, get price quotes from each dealer for the exact darkness, color, and type of window film you want. Never compromise because there are plenty of other dealers out there that will offer you the perfect color. With the bid price and your research on each store color, make a decision.

Tinting may take several hours to half a day, so either arrange a trip or go to a nearby coffee shop with a good book. Enjoy!
