Total Tint Solution Gift car tinting questions

How much does car window tinting cost?

Our car tinting prices start from $295 .for standard 3M window film for starting from $395 for our premium, worlds highest quality 3M ceramic IR window tint.  This includes quality true black ceramic tint on all car windows. We don’t do a cheaper tint, as we found them to be of poorer quality. After years of experience, we know the best and most affordable products on the market that provide safety and longevity to our clients. These cheaper film options generally don’t protect you effectively from the sun and its harsh UV rays

These are top-end choices and patented with a lifetime warranty. Our team of tinting professionals is known for their customer service and commitment to price and value for money.


Is it legal to tint the front windshield of a car?

The short answer is no. There is a legal shade limit though. In Australia, minimum visual light transmission or VLT limit of 35% is required. The front windscreen can only have a visor strip on the top of the windscreen. This will equal to either 10% of the total windscreen area, or a portion of the windshield above the reach of the wipers, whichever is greater.


Do you offer a mobile window tinting service?

We don’t. This is because we need to have the right conditions to perform a professional car tint. It needs to be wind-free in a very clean environment. We cannot have dust or anything else around that may affect the results. Our workshops are set up in a way to provide you with optimum results and to get the job done fast & efficiently first go.
