    Hey I wanted to get some info on tinting windows. Around how much should it cost to get say 5% on the rear hatch and maybe 35% on both windows including labor. I just wanted to get some ideas to walk into the store with so i don't get taken for a ride. thanks

        Something like that usually goes for about $130 for the good film and lifetime warranty. Anything above $150 sounds like a rip off, but maybe its because its less common in your area, and theres little competition.

          I have tint on all 4 windows, sides were 45 a piece, the back is one piece, with the additional vinyl for the bubbles at the top of the window, so you don't see those, that was 130, and the front drop tint for 20, all lifetime warrantied tint.

                  Pricing can vary quite a bit depending on the film quality, warranty, and where you're located. For a setup with 5% on the rear hatch and around 35% on the front side windows, seeing quotes anywhere from $150–$300 isn't unusual. The really cheap quotes often use lower-grade film, while higher prices may include premium films with better heat rejection and a lifetime warranty.

                  One thing worth asking about is the type of film being installed, not just the tint percentage. Shops such as OC Tint Solutions in Orange County focus on automotive tinting and typically explain the differences between standard, carbon, and ceramic films, which can make a big difference in long-term performance and comfort.

                  A fair quote should include installation, warranty coverage, and the exact film brand. If a shop is significantly cheaper than everyone else, it's worth asking what film they're using before making a decision.
