FAQ

The questions we get most.

How long does window tinting take?
A standard 4-door sedan takes 3.5 to 4 hours. Larger SUVs and trucks run closer to 4 to 5 hours. We schedule a single appointment per bay so we can do it right.
Is my windshield replacement actually covered by insurance?
In many cases comprehensive insurance covers windshield replacement. We verify your coverage and bill your insurer directly.
What's the difference between PPF and ceramic coating?
PPF (paint protection film) is a thick urethane film that physically blocks rock chips. Ceramic coating is a chemical bond on your clear-coat that resists swirl marks and makes washing easier. Most customers do both: PPF on the front, ceramic everywhere else.
Do you work on Teslas / EVs?
Yes. Model 3, Y, S, X, and Cybertruck. See our Tesla protection page for model-specific packages, including the EV-friendly XR Plus ceramic tint that doesn't interfere with your antenna or sunroof.
Is the warranty really for life?
Yes. Every Xpel window tint we install is backed by Xpel's nationwide lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling, fading, or discoloration. PPF is 10 years against yellowing. Auto glass installation is lifetime against workmanship defects.
