You want to get your car windows tinted but you don’t feel like calling up every shop around town, because you feel as if you are going to be harassed by them.  I don’t blame you!  Thankfully for the Internet, you’re able to get some decent price quotes.

Now, before I get into quotes, you’re going to remember that prices are going to vary between states, as well as what kind of vehicle you’re driving.

First off, you’re going to want to ask yourself these questions.  It’s going to give you a better understanding at what your price point may be.

  • What kind of car are you driving?  SUV? Car?
  • How many windows do you want to get tinted?
  • How dark do you want the tint?
  • Do you care about the quality?
  • Do you want a name brand?
  • Do you want it professionally done or are you willing to do it?

If you plan on doing it yourself, you can always get a do it yourself kit.  According to kits like these, it looks as if you can do it on your own for about $10-15 a window.  You’re going to want to make sure that you read into the directions though, because if you do it wrong, it may bubble up.

How much does it cost to get it professionally done?

From what I’ve seen throughout the shops around the United States, it’s going to start around $150 for a well installed job.  The bigger you car, the more you’re going to pay.

Once again, the things that are going to factor is the type of tint you want, how many windows you want tinted, as well as how big your car is. Overall, I wouldn’t expect to pay no more than $300 for the job.
