5 Things To Consider Before Deciding on Car Window Tinting Services in Brookfield, WI

So, you’re looking to enhance the look of your car, truck, or SUV by having the windows tinted. Well, before embarking on that decision, below are certain aspects worth considering: 

· How much does it cost?

Price is always a consideration when it comes to servicing or upgrading your automobile. But, generally speaking, the cost to tint a vehicle is not absurd, even for high-end window film. The cost to tint an entire vehicle is typically in the $100 - $400 range. However, you should be honest with yourself and your budget before purchasing. Lower end window film may be cheaper, but it is also of lower quality. Would you want to make this sacrifice for your personal or business vehicle? 

We are upfront with our pricing so call us today to request a free estimate.

· Is the tint high-quality?

Quality is also a significant factor in purchasing a product or service - you want a product that is free of defects and designed to last. Generally speaking, if you stick with an established brand like 3M, Llumar, or XPEL you are headed in the right direction. But, you also want to ensure the specific line or series of tint from that brand is one that meets your needs as far as appearance and performance. Most installers do not stock a brand’s full portfolio.

We exclusively install XPEL window film at Exquisite Auto Spa. XPEL is a premium brand and has been an industry leader in commercial and automotive films for over 20 years. The two window tint options we currently offer are PRIME HP and PRIME XR Plus - both in all darkness levels. 

PRIME HP features a hybrid dyed-metal construction, providing better heat rejection and color-stability than traditional dyed films. Its enhanced reflective finish makes it the perfect combination of value and performance.

PRIME XR Plus is XPEL’s top-of-the-line automotive film; it utilizes ceramic particle technology, which is more effective than metalized or dyed films. Many installers offer a “ceramic” tint option, but PRIME XR Plus is the pinnacle of appearance and performance.

· Does it come with a warranty?

Another important consideration is whether or not a warranty is included with your window tint purchase. Most reputable automotive film brands will offer a manufacturer’s warranty, and most installers will offer some sort of installation guarantee at no additional charge.

XPEL provides a transferable lifetime warranty on all of their PRIME automotive window film (that have been professionally installed), which covers defects such as: discoloration, fading, bubbling, peeling, cracking, and delamination.

Exquisite Auto Spa is an authorized XPEL installer and also guarantees a flawless, professional installation. A warranty card is provided upon payment and delivery of the vehicle.

· What level of technology does the tint have?

We live in a tech-driven world, so it only makes sense we’d demand the highest level of technology from everything we purchase - even window tint! Likely the biggest advancement in this space is the introduction of nano-ceramic particle technology. 

The word “ceramic” admittedly is a buzzword in the automotive and detailing world, but the hype is real when it comes to its implementation in window film. The benefits include superior UV and infrared (heat) rejection, greater clarity, and zero interference with electronic devices, as there is no metal in the film.

At Exquisite Auto Spa we install XPEL PRIME XR Plus window film, which features this ceramic particle technology. We also utilize XPEL’s Design Access Program (DAP) software, which is the world's largest and most comprehensive pattern repository for window tint patterns. Coupled with our in-house cutting machine, we are able to tackle jobs quickly and easily, while ensuring the best fit-and-finish for your vehicle.

· What brand options are available?

As with any purchase, especially larger-ticket items, you want to ensure you’re selecting a top brand. These brands have a reputation for delivering quality products and backing them with customer support and warranties. As far as window tint is concerned, brands like 3M, Llumar, and XPEL are all industry leaders and all have been developing and manufacturing automotive film for decades. So, what brand is “the best” or right for you?

With over 20 years of installation experience, we’ve worked with all of the leading window film brands. So, there’s no need to spend hours researching and potentially getting lost in industry minutiae. As mentioned, we are an authorized XPEL installer, and exclusively install their window tint and paint protection film. We’ve found that XPEL offers the best film, the best patterns, and the best support of any brand - and they back it with a lifetime warranty!

At Exquisite Auto Spa, we will also provide expert advice regarding the best tint options for you, based on your specific goals. Whether it’s matching the OEM darkness on your front windows, increased heat rejection for your panoramic roof, or simply adding some UV protection for your interior, we’ve got you covered.

Benefits of our car window tinting service in Brookfield, WI

Having your windows tinted can enhance the appearance and comfort of your vehicle, but were you aware of the added benefits of doing so?

· UV Protection

You may not realize it, but even inside your vehicle, your skin is exposed to harmful radiation from the sun. Both XPEL PRIME HP and PRIME XR Plus provide powerful protection, blocking up to 99% of UV rays - the equivalent of 1000 SPF sunscreen! Furthermore, both are recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation as an effective UV protectant.

· Preserve Your Interior

The sun's intense heat and harmful ultraviolet rays can also damage your vehicle’s interior - causing seats and dashboards to fade and crack over time. Tinted windows will help preserve these materials and extend the lifespan of your vehicle's interior.

· Increased Privacy

The additional darkness of tinted windows effectively makes it more difficult to see inside your vehicle. This may be desirable for individuals who prefer anonymity for themselves and/or their passengers. Any personal items inside your vehicle will also be more difficult for a potential thief to see from the outside.

· Increased Safety

Window tint is an adhesive film that is applied to the glass. If you are involved in an accident or a window is shattered, this film can help by holding together shards of glass, preventing them from impacting passengers.

·Enhanced Comfort

Most window tint will also serve to keep the inside of your vehicle cooler and more comfortable. PRIME HP and PRIME XR Plus boast up to 59% and 71% Total Solar Energy Rejection, with XR Plus blocking up to 98% of infrared radiation.

In addition to heat rejection, window tint also significantly reduces glare from sunlight and headlights, ensuring a safer and more comfortable driving experience.

· Better Gas Mileage

Lastly; it might seem like a stretch, but having your windows tinted will actually increase your fuel mileage - especially in warmer climates. This is the result of having to utilize your air conditioner less. Not running the AC means less stress on the engine and less fuel consumed.

So, when you’re ready to enjoy a more stylish vehicle with all of the added benefits discussed above, please contact us or stop by for a free consultation and price estimate. We’re located in beautiful Elm Grove, WI just minutes from Brookfield and Wauwatosa.
