Why We Use Autobahn Ceramic Film

We chose Autobahn window film for one reason: it outperforms everything else we've installed since 1997.

• Blocks 99% of UV rays, protecting your skin, your kids and your interior from sun damage and fading.
• Rejects heat, so your car cools down faster in summer and your A/C works less.
• Cuts glare from low sun and headlights for safer, more comfortable driving.
• Won't interfere with phones, GPS or toll tags. Ceramic film has no metal in it.
• Won't turn purple, bubble or peel. It's backed by a lifetime warranty on film and labor.
• No-fault warranty included free. Every Autobahn film we install gets the same lifetime warranty plus Autobahn's no-fault warranty at no extra cost. No "good, better, best" upsell: every film we carry is top quality.

Window Tint FAQs from Upper Arlington Drivers

How long does window tinting take?

Most cars are done the same day. Drop off in the morning and drive home cooler that afternoon. We'll confirm timing when you book.

How long before I can roll my windows down?

Wait 3 to 5 days so the film can fully cure. A little haze or a few water spots in the first days is normal and clears up on its own.

Is ceramic tint worth it?

For most Upper Arlington drivers, yes. Ceramic film blocks far more heat than basic dyed film, doesn't fade or turn purple, and doesn't block your phone signal.

Can you tint my windshield?

Ohio allows a tinted strip across the top of the windshield, and a clear heat-rejecting film over the whole windshield as long as it lets in at least 70% of light.

Do you serve all of Upper Arlington?

Yes. We work with drivers from the Lane Avenue area, Kingsdale, Tremont, Fishinger Road, Riverside Drive and neighborhoods across Upper Arlington, plus nearby Grandview Heights, Dublin and Hilliard.

Will tint look good on my luxury car?

Yes. We'll help you pick a shade that matches your factory privacy glass so the whole car looks even, and ceramic film won't turn purple or fade over time.
