Our Carbon Window Tint Packages
Providing an increase in infrared heat rejection of up to 33%, enjoy a more comfortable drive during the scorching New York summers with our Carbon Window Tint Film package options! At Xclusive Autoworks, your vehicle is sure to see a boost in value and quality overall.
Our Heat Rejecting Ceramic Window Tint Packages
Having up to 70% of infrared heat rejection is already impressive, but having the durability of window tint film that lasts for years takes it a step further. Our ceramic tint uses non-metallic nano-particles for excellent heat rejection without blocking signals, plus added UV resistance and energy efficiency that eases the load on your A/C through the hot summer months. At Xclusive Autoworks, we make a positive change in what you drive with our Heat Rejecting Ceramic Window Tint Film package options.
What to Expect From Our Window Tint Installation Process
Every job starts with a walkthrough of your goals, your vehicle, and the shade you want. We plot each panel with a computer-cut method instead of trimming film on your car, so your paint, seals, and defroster lines stay untouched. Once the glass is cleaned and prepped, the film is laid down and heat-shrunk to the curve of each window.
Most vehicles are installed the same day. After your tint is installed, do not roll your windows down for three to five days while the adhesive cures, and expect a light haze or small water pockets that clear as it dries. Every film in our line is backed by a warranty against bubbling, peeling, and color change, and we match the tint across all panels so the finish looks sleek next to your factory glass.
What DOES Car Window Tinting COST
Cost depends on coverage and film type. For example, a windshield strip sits at the low end of the price range, the front two windows fall in the middle, and full coverage across every window sits at the top. Ceramic films carry an additional cost over carbon, but they deliver the most protection and the best window tint performance for Long Island summers. Vehicles with steep or oversized rear glass take extra labor, so we quote by vehicle rather than posting one flat price. Call (516) 965-7289 or request a quote for exact pricing on your vehicle.
Technical Tinting Benefits for Vehicles
Window tinting goes beyond aesthetics. This upgrade enhances your experience while behind the wheel and protects your passengers as well. One of the key benefits of our window tint packages at Xclusive Autoworks is infrared heat rejection. Infrared rays from the sun can cause your vehicle to overheat, especially during the hot summer months. This makes it extremely uncomfortable and leads to the degradation of interior materials. Our high-quality tint film products block infrared heat, keeping your vehicle cooler and reducing the need for constant air conditioning. Additionally, window tinting provides UV resistance, which prevents fading, cracking, and deterioration of your vehicle's interior surfaces. Beyond protection, tinting also enhances privacy and adds a sophisticated, high-profile look to your vehicle. A dark cabin that sits in the sun all day will store heat in the seats, dash, and body panels, and your air conditioner works harder every time you get in. Blocking infrared at the glass reduces overheating, shortens cool-down time, and improves your driving experience on every trip, with the added benefit of saving the fuel or battery range spent on cooling.
We Help Choose Your Coverage Option
At Xclusive Autoworks, we are more than just a tinting service provider. We are here to help you choose the ideal coverage based on your vehicle type, driving habits, and personal preferences.

That expertise is the difference between a job done fast and a job done right. Whether you are looking for full vehicle coverage or a window strip, our installation expertise and top-tier products deliver long-lasting results. Many customers start with the front two windows for daily comfort, then come back to cover the different windows across the rest of the car. Contact us today at (516) 965-7289

Tint, Ceramic Coating, and Paint Protection Film: A Complete System
Window tint protects what is inside your car, but the same sun that damages your interior also attacks your paint. That is why many of our customers pair tinting with
ceramic coating and
paint protection film. Ceramic coating adds hydrophobic properties to the glass and paint so water, dirt, scuffs, and stains rinse away with less maintenance. Paint protection film guards against rock chips and road debris that can scratch and chip your finish. As a Long Island business that takes pride in real-world results, we build packages that create lasting protection. Together with quality window tinting, this combination protects your vehicle inside and out, holds its appearance and value, and keeps your car looking sleek for years. Tesla owners can pair tint with our
Tesla ceramic coating,
Tesla paint protection film, and
paint correction services.
Cybertruck services are also available. Explore our full
auto detailing services to build the right package.
frequently asked Questions About Window Tinting
Can my vehicle have window tinting?
Yes. Any vehicle can have window tinting, regardless of make, model, or year. Xclusive Autoworks can install window tint film on a variety of vehicles. This includes sedans, trucks, SUVs, vans, and more. Whether you want to tint all windows or select specific ones to apply the film to, we can customize a package to fit your vehicle's specifications. However, if your windows have any existing damage, like chips or cracks, those defects must be repaired before tinting.
What is the difference between metallic and non-metallic tinting?
Metallic and non-metallic tinting offers different benefits depending on your needs. Metallic tint contains small metallic particles that reflect heat and light, providing excellent UV and infrared protection. This type of tinting enhances the durability of the film and offers a sleek, reflective appearance. Non-metallic tint, on the other hand, is made from dyed materials and provides a more natural look while still offering protection from heat and UV rays. Non-metallic tinting is a great option for customers who prefer a non-reflective finish. Ceramic tint is the premium non-metallic option, delivering the best heat rejection and UV protection without interfering with electronics. Be aware that metallic film can also affect GPS, cell, and radio reception, while nano ceramic film does not.
Is window tinting legal in the state of New York?
Yes, window tinting is completely legal in New York. However, it must comply with specific regulations regarding tint darkness and reflectiveness. New York state law mandates that vehicles maintain a certain percentage of Visible Light Transmission (VLT), which determines how much light can pass through the windows. It is important to work with a professional tinting provider like Xclusive Autoworks to ensure your vehicle’s window tint meets our state’s legal standards. Failing to comply with these regulations can result in fines and the required removal of the tint. New York also tests window tint during the annual state safety inspection, so film that is too dark can fail your vehicle until it is removed.
How does ceramic tint protect my vehicle's interior?
Ceramic tint blocks harmful UV rays and infrared heat before they reach your seats and dash. That UV resistance stops fading and cracking, keeps the cabin cooler through the hot summer months, and improves energy efficiency by easing the strain on your air conditioning.
How is window tint different from ceramic coating?
Window tint is a film applied to your car windows to control heat, glare, and light. Ceramic coating is a protective layer for your paint and glass that adds hydrophobic properties so dirt, stains, and scuffs wash off easily. Many ceramic coating customers add tint for complete interior and exterior protection.
Should I tint just the front two windows or the whole car?
It depends on your goals. Tinting the front two windows balances comfort with New York's legal limits, while full coverage maximizes privacy, security, and heat rejection across all windows. Our team helps you choose a style that suits your driving and stays compliant.
How long does window tint last, and how do I maintain it?
Quality ceramic film is built for durability and can last many years with simple maintenance. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cloths, and clean with a soft microfiber to protect the film. Done right, your tint keeps its appearance and performance long-term.
How do I schedule a window tinting appointment?
Call (516) 965-7289 or contact us to request a quote or schedule online. Tell us about your vehicle, and we will book a convenient time at our Long Island shop with confidence.
Will window tint make night driving harder?
No. New York requires at least 70% VLT on the windshield strip and front side windows, so a legal install is light enough that it barely changes what you see after dark. What it does change is glare. The film cuts the harshness of oncoming headlights and low winter sun, which is where most night-driving fatigue comes from. Ceramic film manages heat through infrared and UV control rather than by going dark, so you get a cooler, more comfortable cabin without trading away visibility. If night driving is a concern for you, tell us when you book and we will walk you through exactly how each option performs on the road.
What is the difference between carbon and ceramic window tint?
Both are non-metallic films, so neither will interfere with your GPS, cell, or radio reception, and both block harmful UV rays that fade and crack your interior. The difference is heat rejection. Our carbon film provides an increase in infrared heat rejection of up to 33%, which makes it a strong value choice for daily drivers who want comfort and a clean look. Our ceramic film uses non-metallic nano-particles to reject up to 70% of infrared heat, so it keeps the cabin coolest, eases the load on your A/C through Long Island summers, and holds its color for years. Both films are available in windshield strip, front two windows, and full coverage across all sides and rear glass.
Window Tinting Regulations and Laws in Long Island, New York
In Long Island, New York, window tinting regulations can seem strict. It is to the benefit of you, your passengers, and other drivers on the road. It is essential for vehicle owners to ensure compliance with state laws. The darkness of your window tint is measured by Visible Light Transmission (VLT) percentages, and this is the first law to follow with regard to window tinting. For passenger vehicles like sedans, the law requires that the front side and rear side windows all must allow at least 70% of light to pass through. For larger vehicles like SUVs and trucks, the regulations differ slightly, allowing greater flexibility for rear window tinting, though front side windows must still meet the 70% VLT standard. Be aware that windshield tint is limited to a strip across the top six inches of the glass.
In addition to the VLT requirements, New York also regulates the reflectiveness of window tint film packages. Reflective tint can be used to reduce glare and heat, but there are limits to how much reflectivity is permitted. For both small and large vehicles, the window tint must not be more reflective than a standard window in the state of New York. This ensures that drivers and passengers maintain proper visibility and that the vehicle meets proper safety standards. At Xclusive Autoworks, we provide window tint film packages that meet all of these legal guidelines.
Understanding these legal requirements for window tinting before booking is not your job - it is ours. At Xclusive Autoworks, we make it easy! Our expert team understands New York’s window tinting laws and can help you choose the right window tint film that keeps your vehicle in compliance. If you are still unsure about the legal restrictions on window tint darkness and reflectiveness for your vehicle, we are here to provide the answers and guide you through the process. Drivers with a documented medical need can also apply to the New York DMV for a tint exemption. Contact us today at (516) 965-7289
