Service 01 · Ann Arbor, MI
Window
Tint
Film cut to your glass, installed clean, and a cure clock on your phone so you know exactly when it is safe to roll the windows down.
Michigan is strict up front and wide open in the back.
This is the single most common thing people get wrong, and it is worth getting right before you spend money. Michigan permits aftermarket film on a strip along the top of the windshield and the top of the front door glass. Behind the driver, on the rear doors and the back glass, there is no darkness limit at all.
There are also limits on how reflective front film can be, and Michigan runs a medical exemption process for drivers who need their front glass done. If that applies to you, say so when you book and we will talk you through it rather than guessing.
We check your car against the current rules before we cut. If somebody promises you dark front doors with no exemption, that should worry you.
Three broad families, and they are not interchangeable.
Dyed
The cheapest way to get dark glass. It is a privacy and appearance film, it does the least for heat, and it is the one most likely to shift color over years of Michigan sun. Fine for some cars. Wrong for a car that lives outdoors.
Carbon
A real step up in heat rejection and far more stable in color. No signal interference. This is the sensible middle for most daily drivers around here.
Ceramic
The most heat rejection for a given darkness, which is the point when Michigan will not let you go dark up front anyway. If your complaint is heat rather than privacy, this is the answer.
We will confirm the exact film line at booking. What matters more than the brand on the box is that it is the right family for how and where your car actually lives.
And then the part everybody forgets.
New film needs time to cure before the windows can go down. Rush it and you get a lifted edge or a crease, and that is a redo nobody enjoys.
So we do not tell you "a few days" and hope you remember. Your tracking page runs an actual countdown, and you get a text at zero.
