How Long Does It Take To Tint A Car?

By The Golden State Auto Salon Team · April 29, 2026

Most cars come in the morning and go home tinted the same day.

Same Day Service

Window tinting is one of the quickest services we do. Drop the car off in the morning and you drive home tinted. Larger vehicles, more windows or adding a windshield can add time, and we will give you a pickup time when you drop off.

After You Pick It Up

• Wait 3 to 5 days before rolling the windows down so the film cures to the glass
• A little haze or a few small water pockets are normal and disappear on their own
• Clean the inside glass with a soft microfiber towel

Why Tint Is Worth The Day

• LLumar FormulaOne nano ceramic film blocks 99% of UV at every shade
• A noticeably cooler cabin with less glare, day and night
• Protects your skin, dash and leather from sun damage
• Lifetime warranty, with no fading, bubbling or turning purple

Choose from AIR80 for a nearly clear look, Pinnacle for the classic ceramic tint in any shade, or Stratos for the most heat rejection.
