Window tinting, answered straight: prices, mobile fitting, the law, film and warranty.
- How much does window tinting cost?
- Rear side windows and back screen: small 3-door hatch £109, 3-door hatch £130, 5-door hatch £150, ford mondeo £160, tesla model 3 £260, estate £170, saloon £180, sports / performance £230, exotic £310, 4x4 £230, small suv £160, medium suv £180, people carrier / 7 seater £180, pickup £160, panel van £109, crew / kombi van £130, shuttle van / camper £190. Front side windows are +£70 where your glass allows, and removing old film is £20 per window. PIXL is not VAT registered, so that is the whole price.
- Do you come to me?
- Yes. We fit at your home, workplace or yard across Harrogate, Leeds, York and Bradford. We need somewhere enclosed or sheltered and dry, since dust under the film shows for good. If the spot or the weather isn't right on the day, we'll rebook rather than fit a poor tint.
- Is the tint road legal?
- The windscreen must let through at least 75% of light and the front side windows at least 70%. We only fit front film where your factory glass leaves room for it. Behind the B-pillar there is no legal limit, so rear windows can go as dark as you like.
- What film do you use?
- Mostly Global QDP and LLumar, both branded films. PIXL is also an accredited installer for 3M, XPEL and Suntek, and mobile jobs get the same film as any other.
- Will the tint bubble or go purple?
- Not when quality film is fitted properly. Our automotive tint carries a lifetime warranty against delamination, discolouration and peeling. Accidental damage and general wear are not covered. This does not affect your statutory rights.
- How long does it take, and can I use the car straight away?
- A standard car is a few hours. Leave the windows up for a couple of days afterwards while the film cures. You get a specific slot with your quote.
- Do you still do wraps, signs or window film for buildings?
- Not wraps or signs. Window film for homes and commercial buildings is our other division, PIXL Architectural: see /architectural.
