Professional Car Tinting vs. Do-It-Yourself

GLOBALTINT.CO.UK

Now that you have decided that car tinting is for you and your benefit, the next thing to consider is its application.

Consumers usually have two options for tinting their car windows: Do it themselves with a DIY window-tinting kit or hire a professional.

With all the available DIY Car Tinting kits offered in the market today, it is tempting to just tint your car on your own instead of leaving the job to the professionals.

Although a DIY window tint is generally less costly, it definitely pays dividends to invest in professional installation. But, what they fail to realize is that the benefits of hiring an auto tinting pro outweigh any savings.

Here are 4 reasons why you should let professional car tint companies do their job:

1. They do it within the law

The government of the United Kingdom is specific when it comes to laws concerning car tinting. Just to be safe, it would be best to have your car professionally tinted because companies who do this for a living know the do’s and don’ts, with considerations of the regulations.

Most professional window tinting companies make it their business to stay up to date on window tint regulations.

2. They do it flawlessly

Businesses that do car tints for a living do it perfectly crediting the number of times they have done it, the knowledge of different techniques on how to apply it, and the hours of training they have undergone to perfect the job.

Most probably, when you decide to DIY your car tinting, it is your first time doing it. The room for error is bigger because more likely than not, you’re just winging it.

An experienced professional will use a higher grade film and ensure that it’s applied without creases, crinkles, air bubbles, or debris.

3. Restarting is not an option

Since the chances of ruining it are high, the first trial would most probably be a disaster. So, you decided to try again. You thought that it would be easier, but removing window film is much more difficult than applying it, due in part to the sticky adhesive used to apply it to the auto glass.

Once window tinting film has been applied to a window, it cannot be taken off and simply returned to the store. Starting from scratch would probably require you to buy a new kit.

4. Tint quality and service guaranteed

One of the reasons why professional car tinting is relatively more expensive than DIY kits is the quality service you can get. More so, the reputation and credibility of the company is also a factor, especially if they always get great reviews and feedback from previous customers.

If a professional window tinting company does a bad job, car owners can always demand re-tinting.

Also, some companies offer after care services that is included in the installation fee.
