Arizona Car Tint Made Easy - Fast, Knowledgeable & Precise!

It's 2019 and in today's world it's important to have an efficient system in place when performing a service. When it comes to Phoenix tint services, we strongly feel this way and thus have aligned ourselves with a process that is effective. This includes proper education to new and returning customers and how the different shades of tint can help to protect the car's interior, keep the temperature controlled and also provide more security for those inside.

Once you've determined the shade level or levels to apply on the windows of your car, the next step is setting up an appointment for a mobile tint technician to come out and complete the application. Depending on the time of year it is in Arizona, it could be ideal to perform the work under a tree, in the garage or at a covered parking lot. If it's hot, such as in the spring or summer months, it may suit you best to bring in your vehicle to the Phoenix shop as this allows the technicians to utilize available resources to ensure a proper fitting and tint film application. This will minimize bubbles and bubbling which can happen if the temperature is too hot or humid. Before the tint specialist begins the service, they will give you their best recommendations on location as our focus is on a quality outcome and a repeat customer for life. Typically, the tinting process is fast and can be completed in 45-60 minutes depending on the type of automobile. If you have a large SUV or truck, expect a slightly longer completion time.

Types of Tint Film Options to Consider this 2019 for Trucks, Cars & SUVs

Ceramic Film Tinting

Industry recognized as the highest quality of tint types, this particular film type is contrived of a ceramic particle which is amazingly both non-metallic and non-conductive. It has no carbon, metal or dye within it. With that said, it is also the most expensive tinting option and thus, usually can be found more commonly on high-end cars and SUVs. Other unique traits are that it is relatively new to the tint lineup of options but this doesn't mean it hasn't welcomed with stellar reviews as it can block as much as 50% of infrared light entering through windows. Additionally, the clarity during day or night is still clear; allowing occupants to retain full visibility without hindrance. Furthermore, ceramic tinting outlasts others in terms of fade resistance, glare, and incredibly - enable windows to be nearly shatterproof!

Carbon Window Tint Film

The #1 advantage to this type of film is that it will NEVER fade with age. When you're driving in Phoenix traffic and see bubbling old tint, you can be sure it's not carbon window tint that was applied on those cars. What also makes it unique is the matte-finish: not only does this have an appealing visual look, the carbon component of the film material strongly blocks 35% or more of infrared light. This will greatly reduce heat transfer through the windows as infrared light is what causes the temperature increase. Due to this reduction of heat, the interior of the vehicle stays cooler and the upholstery/leather will not be as impacted with fading because of the shade produced from the carbon tint film.

Dyed Window Tinting

Affordably priced but lacking in areas that other materials surpass. This type of tint is contrived of a dye applied to the film in a layer by the adhesive. This is then applied directly to the window glass. The dye is the component that blocks or rather absorbs the infrared light which enters through the window. While there are different shades of this tint available, usually black is used and will fade over time. It does provide privacy and when viewing from the outside into the automobile, it can look flat or opaque but provide visibility from occupants inside the vehicle.

Metalized Film

This option of tint is comprised of microscopic metal particles which, like dyed window film, deflect/reflect sun rays. Like ceramic, this metal-type tint will also strengthen the window glass and render it near shatter-resistant. A unique trait of this particular material is that, when applied, it gives the outer window a sparkling appearance. While this not only can look appealing on certain cars, it also provides a formidable protection from scratching; a common occurrence with dyed film. The one glaring issue which can have a continual annoyance for the driver and passengers, is that the metalized particles do interfere with cell phone, GPS and radio reception. Considering how most Phoenix, Arizona drivers utilize one or all three of these electronic devices, this may not be the best type of window tint film option for 2019 or beyond.

Arizona Dealership Tinting - Some New & Used Cars Have It & Some Don't.

If you are a new car or truck owner in Arizona, there's already a chance that the vehicle will have tint that was applied at the dealership. This however is not always the case and depends on a number of factors such as the type of automobile, if it's a used or brand new car and also the dealership; and what specific list of upgrades have been added to that particular model.

Many times a dealer will get their inventory directly from the manufacturer and immediately put these brand new cars, trucks or SUVs on the lot for sale WITHOUT applying tint. This isn't because they're lazy or cheap - it's mainly because they want the buyer to make their own choice on how dark or light they prefer the tint to be. This also limits the need for the dealership to have to remove tint that doesn't meet the specifications of each buyer, as some car owners like light tinting on the front windows and darker on the back windows where others like it the same level of shade on all 4 side and the back tailgate window.

What Is the Arizona Window Tinting Law? Is it Legal in AZ for My Car Tint to Be Dark or Will I Get a Fine or Ticket?

Tinted windows look cool and they make you cool. This has led many Arizona residents to darken their windshields. However, you can get pulled over if your windshield is too dark. Therefore, if you want to tint your windshield, you need to understand the Arizona Window Tinting Law. The law applies to every type of vehicle, but it does provide an easy way to deal with any citations you get. It all depends on where and how your windows were tinted. Please note that this law is subject to change, and the information provided here is only accurate to the date of this article. We will try to keep it up to date as much as possible, but we recommend that you talk to a window tinting professional to ensure compliance with the law. For now, here are the current regulations regarding tinting vehicle windows in Arizona.

Arizona Front Windows Tint Law

Despite what many people believe, Arizona does not have a single window tint law. Instead, it has individual regulations for each of your vehicle's windows, and it is stricter on what you can do with your windshield than it is with the others. For your front windshield, you can only use non-reflective tint, provided that it is above the manufacturer's AS-1 line. This area is called a visor strip, and it is the only place on your windshield that you could have SunTec Auto Glass of Phoenix apply tint to. The only exceptions are medical. If you need to stay out of the sun for health reasons, you can file for a waiver with the Arizona Department of Transportation. No other exceptions are allowed for your front windshield.

Front Side Windows Tint Regulations

You have more freedom to do what you want with your other windows. While more lenient, the law still dictates what you can do with your side windows. For instance, your front side windows must allow more than 33% light through. You can also only have your front windows 35% reflective. Please note that your front side windows are the drivers and passenger side windows you use to look outside while driving.

Back Side and Rear Window Tinting

Arizona's Window Tinting Law only dictates that your rear and back side windows have 35% reflective tint. Other than that, you are free to make your rear windows as dark as you desire, though 5% is the darkest you can make your windows at most places. However, an officer can still pull you over if your rear tinted windows obstruct your view or distract you from your driving. Generally, this means that your back windows have lines, smudges, or bubbles, and not for how dark your windows are. You should note that you do need dual side mirrors to compensate for your dark rear window.

Color Window Tinting Law

Regardless of the window or level of tint, you cannot tint your windows with a red or amber color. This regulation is in addition to the other laws mentioned here.

Penalties for Violating the Arizona Window Tinting Law

If an officer thinks your front windows are too dark, he or she can stop you and issue a citation. Most officers will use a tint meter on your vehicle as well. This tint meter measures how much light passes through your window, providing the extent of your violation. Once the officerdetermines how dark your windows are, you will get your ticket.

Arizona has a 'fix it ticket" called the Equipment Repair Order. This means you only pay a small fine while providing proof that you fixed your vehicle to remove the violation. Thus, you must remove the tint on your windows, and then get a more compliant tint. Fortunately, most reputable shops will redo your tint for free if it was their work that caused the issue. Therefore, you should return to the dealership or shop that installed your windows if an officer does pull you over. You can then bring your vehicle and your receipts to the court to show that you corrected the problem. In many cases, the judge will waive your fine if you show compliance with the law. This does not mean all shops or the court will waive your fees, but they might be liement if this is your first citation. If you do not do this, you can pay a fine up to $250.

Please note that you do have a time limit on how soon you can fix your window tinting. Plus, fixing the tint to bring it back under the legal limit can void your warranty. Thus, you should try to keep your window tinting within the legal range the first time.
