The industry standard for window tint installation is typically 3–4 hours per vehicle.

At Elite, our systematized tinting process allows most vehicles to be completed in 45–90 minutes without sacrificing quality. Our efficiency comes from experience, refined processes, and volume—not cutting corners.

Professional window tint can last many years when installed correctly using premium film. We install high-quality carbon and ceramic films designed to resist bubbling, peeling, fading, and discoloration.

Elite backs every installation with a manufacturer lifetime warranty, a labor warranty, and a no-fault warranty can be added for complete peace of mind.

The standard recommendation is to wait 3–5 days before rolling your windows down to allow proper curing.

Elite also offers an optional same-day roll-down service, which allows you to roll your windows down immediately after installation.

Yes. Light haze or small water pockets are normal during the curing process and will disappear as the film dries. Full clarity typically develops over several days depending on weather conditions.

Yes. A very small gap between the top of the glass and the film is industry standard and helps prevent peeling and long-term issues.

Elite goes above and beyond by offering shaved-edge installs to get a seamless look. This technique minimizes the visible gap and delivers a factory-finish appearance that most shops do not offer.

• Dyed tint: Entry-level appearance with minimal heat rejection

• Carbon tint: Improved heat rejection, fade-resistant, great overall value

• Ceramic tint: Top-tier performance with maximum heat rejection, UV protection, and excellent clarity

Ceramic tint is ideal for customers who want the highest level of comfort, protection, and longevity. That is why we only install ceramic film!

Yes. Premium ceramic can block up to 99% of harmful UV rays and significantly reduce interior heat, helping protect your skin, upholstery, and electronics.

No. Modern ceramic window films do not interfere with GPS, Bluetooth, radio, or cellular signals.

Window tint laws vary by state and vehicle.

Utah law requires the windshield to allow at least 70% VLT (Visible Light Transmission) and the front driver and passenger side windows to allow at least 35% VLT.

A glare strip may be installed along the top of the windshield, but it cannot extend more than 4 inches down from the top of the windshield or below the AS-1 line, whichever is lower.

There is no VLT percentage restriction on the rear side windows or rear window located behind the driver.

Please note that VLT refers to the total amount of visible light transmitted through the glass and window film together. Vehicle factory glass can affect the final VLT measurement.

Every window tint package at Elite Window Tinting comes backed by a Lifetime Manufacturer’s Warranty. This covers qualifying film defects such as bubbling, fading, peeling, and other manufacturer-related film failures.

What many customers don’t realize is that a manufacturer’s warranty covers the film itself — not the labor to replace it. That’s why every Elite package also includes a Labor Warranty:

Platinum Package: Lifetime Labor Warranty
Gold Package: Lifetime Labor Warranty
Silver Package: 10-Year Labor Warranty
Bronze Package: 1-Year Labor Warranty

We also offer additional peace of mind with our No-Fault Warranty options:

One-Time No-Fault Warranty: Covers the replacement of window film on one single window, one time, regardless of how the covered tint was damaged. Once the replacement is completed, the One-Time No-Fault Warranty has been fully used.

Ultimate No-Fault Warranty: Our highest level of protection. It provides 3 replacements of covered window tint if it becomes damaged, at no additional charge for the covered tint replacement.

Ultimate No-Fault also includes our 5-Day Shade Guarantee. If you don’t absolutely love the shade you selected, contact us within 5 days of your original installation and we’ll schedule an appointment to change it to another available shade.

Our No-Fault warranties cover window tint only and do not cover automotive glass replacement. Warranty coverage is non-transferable and applies to the original purchaser and qualifying vehicle.

See our Terms & Conditions for complete warranty details, eligibility, limitations, and exclusions.

If your tint ever bubbles, peels, fades, Elite replaces it. We don’t argue, deflect, or point fingers, we fix it. Add The No Fault Warranty & Your Covered No Matter What Happens!
