Tempe Auto Tinting • Expert Ceramic Films
Tempe’s Best Ceramic Window Tinting
Block 99% UV rays and stay up to 25°F cooler with lab-tested ceramic films installed by Tempe’s specialist shop. No purple fade, no peeling, just factory-clean lines and serious heat rejection built for the Arizona sun.
Same-week installs • Lifetime film warranty • ARIZ-compliant shades
99% UV rejection to protect your skin and interior
Advanced IR ceramics tuned for Tempe’s desert heat
Clean, microfiber-safe installation, no cut corners or gaps
Average cabin temps in Tempe parking lots regularly climb past 140°F. Our ceramic stacks are chosen specifically for high IR rejection, so your AC works less and your cabin cools faster.
Engineered for UV Protection and Real Heat Rejection
Most tint shops talk about “percentage” and “shade.” We focus on measurable IR heat rejection and UV load, so your car stays cooler, your upholstery lasts longer, and your skin is protected on every Tempe commute.
99% UV Block
All of our ceramic options block more than 99% of UVA and UVB. That’s dermatologist-grade protection for your skin and a major reduction in dashboard cracking and fading.
IR Heat Rejection
We specify films by infrared (IR) rejection, not just darkness. That’s the portion of the spectrum that actually drives cabin temperature up, and where premium ceramics outperform cheap dyed films by a wide margin.
Optics & Clarity
We favor nano-ceramic stacks that stay color-stable and interference-free with cameras, GPS, and modern driver assist. You get deep, rich tones without sacrificing night visibility or safety systems.

Choose the Right Film for How You Drive
Every option below is compliant when installed within Arizona’s legal limits. The difference is in infrared heat rejection, signal friendliness, and long-term optical clarity.
IR percentages listed are measured in the 900–1,000 nm range, where Tempe’s sun hits hardest. The higher the number, the cooler your cabin and the less your AC has to work.
Tesla Model 3 & Y Specialists
One-Piece Rear Glass • Cooler Battery • Longer Range
Model 3 and Y glass is unique and unforgiving. We install the rear glass in a single continuous piece, not a stitched seam, to preserve factory sight lines and prevent stress points.
- One-piece rear window installs to OEM curves—no seams or light gaps
- High-IR nano-ceramic options to reduce battery heat soak in Tempe summers
- Less AC load, more usable range on highway and stop‑and‑go commutes
- No interference with Autopilot cameras, sensors, or connectivity
If you drive a Tesla, we recommend our Ultimate Nano-Ceramic package. In Tempe conditions, owners typically see a tangible reduction in HVAC usage and more consistent real-world range.
We’ve dialed in install patterns, squeegee paths, and heat-forming specifically for Tesla glass. That means fewer seams, zero contamination, and a finish that looks native to the car.
Arizona Tint Law Guidance
Stay Cool—and Legal—Under Arizona’s 33% VLT Limit
Arizona law requires at least 33% Visible Light Transmission (VLT) on the front driver and passenger windows. Rear doors and back glass can be darker, but front glass is where most tickets are written.
- Front doors: we target 33–35% legal VLT, measured on the glass
- Factory tint on SUVs/trucks is factored into the final VLT reading
- We walk you through front, rear, and windshield options before any film is installed
- Medical exemptions and special cases explained clearly—no guesswork
During your consult, we measure your existing glass and recommend a film stack that hits your comfort goal while respecting Arizona’s 33% VLT limit where it applies. You get a cooler cabin without inviting fix-it tickets.
Expert note: two films at “legal” percentages can stack into an illegal reading. We account for glass plus film and show you projected VLT before install.

Ceramic Tint Questions, Answered by Installers
Straightforward, technical answers so you can make a confident decision about your car—and your cabin comfort.
How much cooler will my car actually feel with ceramic tint in Tempe?
Exact numbers depend on your glass and shade choice, but compared to stock untinted glass you can expect a cabin that feels subjectively 15–25°F cooler after being parked in direct sun. More important, the interior cools down much faster once you start driving because the film is rejecting IR heat instead of letting it load into your dash, seats, and panels.
Will ceramic tint interfere with my phone, GPS, or keyless entry?
Our Carbon Series is non-metalized and signal-friendly, and both Ceramic IR and Ultimate Nano-Ceramic are engineered specifically to avoid RF and cellular interference. We avoid old-generation metalized films that can degrade signal strength, especially in Teslas and late-model vehicles packed with antennas.
How long does a full vehicle install take?
Most sedans and small SUVs are completed in 2.5–4 hours. Larger SUVs and vehicles with complex glass (including Tesla one-piece rears) can run slightly longer. We’ll quote a realistic window based on your vehicle and film choice so you’re not sitting around guessing when the car will be ready.
What kind of warranty do you offer on your films?
All three tiers—Carbon Series, Ceramic IR, and Ultimate Nano-Ceramic—come with a manufacturer-backed lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling, cracking, and color change, plus our shop workmanship guarantee. If something doesn’t look right, you bring it back and we make it right.
