If you’ve had your vehicle for quite some time or have just purchased it from one of the local dealerships and want to upgrade its look, consider getting a car tint. Edmonton car owners get their vehicles’ windows tinted for the following benefits:

  • Blocks out harmful UV rays - UV rays cause sun damage that even sunscreen will have a difficult time fighting. Moreover, your upholstery can fade quicker with long-term exposure to sunlight.

  • Keeps the interior cooler - The tint blocks out most of the sunlight, which controls your car’s cabin temperature and reduces the need for air conditioning. As a result, you’ll minimize wear and tear on your car’s AC system, reduce fuel consumption, and control your carbon footprint.

  • Provides privacy - Auto tint can go a long way in providing you added peace of mind. It will prevent other people from looking into your car, and deter potential thieves from looking for valuables inside.

  • Prevents glass from shattering - Should you ever be involved in a car accident, the window film will hold the smaller pieces of glass together and potentially reduce glass shattering, which can also help to control the risk of injuries.

  • Improves visual appearance - Applying tint can instantly transform an ordinary-looking car into a sleek and polished ride. The improved aesthetics can even increase your car’s resale or trade-in value.

You may think that tinting your car windows would be a simple at-home project, but nothing could be further from the truth. There are plenty of DIY tinting kits available, but these have not been regulated and you can’t be sure of their quality.   

It also takes a lot of skill, patience, and time to create a polished and professional-looking tint finish. Careful precision and proper adhesion should be observed in order to make the tint last. The process also needs to be done in the right environment with the proper temperature and humidity levels.

There are many things that can go wrong if you attempt to apply your own tint. The removal is even trickier than the application process because of the adhesive’s sticky residue, so starting from scratch after a mistake can quickly turn into a major headache.

Taking matters into your own hands may lead to bubbling, peeling, or warping. So if you don’t want to waste your time, energy, and money, get your vehicle tinting done by a professional. Method Mobile is well-experienced in this service and will ensure quality results you’ll be proud to show off.
