Factors That Increase Calgary Tint Cost
Be aware of factors that can increase your quote:
- Removal of Old Tint ($150 - $300): This is nasty work. If your car already has purple bubbling tint, expect to pay for labor to strip it and clean the glue.
- Sunroofs ($100 - $250): Panoramic sunroofs are huge and require large sheets of film. Overhead installation is also physically difficult.
- Windshields ($250 - $400): Tinting a full windshield is the hardest skill in the industry due to the compound curve and size.
- Tesla Tax ($50 - $150): Teslas (especially Model 3) have massive rear windows and sensitive electronics, requiring extra care and soak ropes.
The Cost of "Cheap" Tint in Calgary
The $99 Special
If a shop offers a full car for $99, they are using dye-based film that costs them $15/roll. It will turn purple in 1 year. It will bubble. And you will pay $250 to have it removed later.
Real cost: $99 (initial) + $250 (removal) + $550 (re-tint) = $899.
Our Tint Recommendation
Treat tint as a one-time investment. Pay the extra $200 for XPEL Ceramic. You get heat rejection, a lifetime transferrable warranty, and you never have to worry about bubbles. It's cheaper in the long run.
