How Much Did You Pay For Window Tinting?

When my car comes in October, I'm seriously considering getting the windows tinted. I live in Florida, where it's hot hot hot. My MB dealer offers the tinting, using Nano Film, which they say blocks 90% of the heat and UV rays. They charge $399, with a lifetime warranty. I like the option of just letting them do it when the car arrives. They'll do the work and guarantee it. And I'm sure I get a discount from that. Still, I'm wondering if you got your windows tinted, what you paid?

Edit. I should also add that they have a film that is not Nano and it doesn't cost as much ($199 installed - also with lifetime warranty).

Thanks. The price sounds good, but the one year warranty doesn't seem very long.

No your right its not. They did a good job though. Dealers are always more pricey as you know but that lifetime warranty sounds nice.

The dealerships usually contract out this kind of works. They would add about 100% surcharge.

Not sure if lifetime warranty is really required, I have a few cars tinted in the past 20 years and none of them had problems.

Thanks again. I'll have to call around and get some quotes and guarantees. I do like the lifetime guarantee, but don't want to overpay in the process. I'm inclined to ask them to do the Nano film offer to pay $199. I have a few weeks to research this before my car comes at any rate.

$350 for formula one pinnacle film which is ceramic.

The solar energy rejection rate on ceramic film is much higher vs dyed film ($150 tint job)

Thanks. That makes the dealer's price reasonable.

I know it is quite a way for you but If you decide to go with auto-links, mention that you are from the RFD site and you'll get a 10% off any of their work.

I paid $375 (5 windows) for Ceramic tint with lifetime warranty. I forgot the name brand. Spend the extra money and get ceramic tint at a reputable installer, it really makes a difference.

Thanks. This also helps to make the dealer price, who uses ceramic-nano film, a reasonable expense.

I paid $0 because it was part of my price negotiation for the car. I also live in Florida, and I would never have a car here without it. I put it on my last Mercedes, and it was like new when I sold the car after 15 years. It's a real good idea to have the Dealer do it. At least you know they will stay around for warranty work if needed. This is what I put on the C300:

Thanks......I've already told my dealer they need to add the nano film AND throw in all season floor mats. I'm more inclined to let my dealer do it regardless. I know they'll be in business if I ever have an issue and that gives me comfort.

I paid $279 with lifetime warranty for 3M 35% Tint. My only wish is that I went darker, but police around here can be tough with 20% tint

Was this dealer installed or aftermarket?
