Straight answers

How is a job priced?

By vehicle size and the panels involved. Send the car, the service and a photo through the quote form and you get a price range the same day. Financing is available on full wraps and paint protection film.

Is window tint legal in New York?

New York requires the windshield and front side windows to let in at least 70 percent of light. We install legal shades on those and darker ceramic film where the law allows, and we tell you which is which before we start.

How long does a wrap or PPF take?

A full vinyl wrap or full-front paint protection film is typically two to four days. Your car is the only car in the bay while it is with us, so the film cures properly before it leaves.
