How long does car tinting take?

Does it take a long time to get car windows tinted? I want to do it because it seems like it would keep my car from getting super hot in the summer, but I don't want to leave my car at the auto shop forever.

Tinting is definitely a good way to
keep your car cool
.
Car window tinting could take anywhere from two to four hours. The timeframe will depend on the size of your car and the number of windows that you want to be tinted.
If you drive a full-sized sedan, it’ll only take one to two hours. But if you only want to tint the front two, it could take as little as 30 to 40 minutes. The actual timing will depend on the shop you choose, though, so check with them before you drop off your car to get a more exact estimate.
