Window Tinting
Our window tinting service uses premium XPEL films to block 99% of UV rays while reducing heat and glare. Available in multiple shades, these durable films maintain clarity and resist fading for automotive, residential, and commercial applications. With over 20,000 vehicles tinted since 1989, our certified technicians ensure precise computer-cut installations that enhance privacy and comfort.
Paint Protection Film
XPEL Paint Protection Film shields vehicles from rock chips, bug splatter, and UV damage with self-healing technology. We offer partial, full-front, and complete vehicle coverage options using precision-cut patterns. Our 10-year warranted films protect both aesthetics and resale value while maintaining the vehicle's original appearance through transparent or matte finishes.
Vehicle Wraps
FlexiShield Cosmetic PPF wraps transform vehicle appearance with 50+ color options while providing protection. This 8-mil film combines self-healing properties with vibrant finishes, including metallic and color-shifting effects. Our installations feature seamless coverage for both aesthetic enhancement and road hazard protection without compromising the original paint.
Ceramic Coatings
9H ceramic coatings create a permanent bond with vehicle surfaces to resist scratches and chemical damage. These hydrophobic treatments protect paint, wheels, and glass while making cleaning easier. With heat resistance up to 1400F, our coatings maintain gloss and protect against environmental contaminants for years with proper maintenance.
Windshield Protection
Our windshield protection films block infrared radiation and UV rays while maintaining optical clarity. Using XPEL's Nano Ceramic technology, these films reduce cabin temperature and dashboard fading. The scratch-resistant coating ensures long-term durability against road debris while preserving visibility and structural integrity.

I brought my Toyota Sequoia in so I could have the front windows tinted. My Sequoia had old 35% on the front windows, so Rudi and Derek removed the old film and installed some fresh tint. My SUV looks so much better now! I highly recommend their shop for the professional work and friendly service.

I took my Dodge Charger here for a complete tint and windshield tint. Rudi did an excellent job on the installation, and the quality of the window film is wonderful. I will always come here for my tinting needs in the future!

Quoted me for $457 for 5% tint all around. When the car was finished came in to pay and was shocked that he asked me he'll save me $40 for not wanting a receipt (suspicious). Came out to view the car and tint was perfect until I got into the car and looked into my backseat to find a triangle cut on one of my seats (Straight lines). Went in to tell him and he denied it asking me how old I was, that hes been working on cars for 40 years, my car is used and to upset me even more say he would never do something like that. I would have noticed a cut this big prior to dropping off my car. I mean look

Update 7/10/20:
After great tint service on my Impreza a couple years ago, I went back to get my truck tinted and a ceramic coating. Needless to say, the truck looks better than it did when I drove it off the lot brand new! The black looks like mirrors and three tint is flawless! I am just beyond pleased. I would highly recommend and I will definitely be back!

This is my 6th or 7th car that Rudy has done. Always professional, the tint is perfect every time, always ready when promised, but usually even earlier!

A friend of mine recommended this shop when I first started looking to get my Mustangs windows tinted. I am glad I took his advice. My car looks amazing and the job he did is outstanding. I couldn't be happier with the results. The guy that runs the place (Rudy?) Was very helpful in helping me pick the best tint for my car. He didn't try to upsale me, just made suggestions and let me pick what I wanted. Ended up middle of the road but it was the best choice. These guys are professionals and do great work. I highly r2 recommend them!!
