“Having your car in the shop is inconvenient, even when it’s for something you want to have done!
When determining how long your window tinting will take, there are a few things to consider, such as:
  • How dark you want it (how many layers)
  • If you want metallic or colored tints
Typically, window tinting takes one to two hours, but depending on the complexity of your tinting, it could take up to about four hours. When you get a quote from the auto shop, be sure to ask how long it’ll take.
Since you’ll be modifying your car windows, make sure your
car insurance
policy covers it. Most car insurance policies don’t cover modifications, so you’ll want to add custom parts and equipment coverage.
If you don’t have
comprehensive coverage
, be sure to add it to your policy as well, since it covers broken glass.
