Car Window Tinting in Smithfield, NC
Authorized Autobahn dealer. We stock every shade from limo tint to nearly clear, cut clean patterns for any vehicle, and install like it's going in our own car.
Pick your film when you come in
We keep the full Autobahn lineup on the shelf so you can hold the samples against your own glass before you commit.
Autobahn Black
A clean, non-reflective charcoal look with solid UV protection. The budget-friendly way to get the appearance and privacy without going cheap on install quality.
Autobahn Black Ceramic
Ceramic heat rejection in a true black shade. Big step up in infrared rejection over dyed film, with zero signal interference and no color shift.
Autobahn i3 Ceramic
Multi-layer nano-ceramic construction for serious IR heat rejection. The pick for daily drivers that sit in the sun all day.
Autobahn Air Ceramic
Heat rejection with almost no darkness — perfect for windshields and for drivers who need to stay legal or just don't want dark glass.

What good tint actually does
Cooler cabin, fast
Ceramic film rejects infrared heat, so the A/C stops fighting the sun and your seats aren't scorching after work.
99% UV rejection
Protects your skin on long drives and keeps your dash, leather and door panels from fading and cracking.
No signal interference
Non-metallic ceramic construction — your phone, GPS, keyless entry and TPMS all work exactly as before.
Privacy & security
Harder to see what's on your seats, and the film helps hold shattered glass together in a break-in or wreck.
Every vehicle type
Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, work fleets and RVs. Windshield strips and visor bands too.
Usually done same visit
Most full vehicle installs take about two to three hours. We're appointment based, so you're not sitting all day.

Auto tint questions
+What's the difference between dyed, carbon and ceramic tint?
Dyed film is the cheapest and mostly just darkens glass. Carbon adds real heat rejection and won't fade purple. Ceramic — like Autobahn Black Ceramic, i3 and Air Ceramic — rejects the most infrared heat at any given darkness, so you can stay legal and still be cool.
+Will ceramic tint block my phone, GPS or radio signal?
No. Autobahn ceramic films are non-metallic, so they don't interfere with cell, GPS, satellite radio, keyless entry or tire pressure sensors.
+How dark can I legally tint in North Carolina?
North Carolina allows 35% VLT or lighter on front side, back side and rear windows for most vehicles, with a windshield strip down to the AS-1 line. See our NC tint law guide for the details and medical exemption info.
+How long before I can roll my windows down?
Leave them up for about three to five days while the film cures. You may see slight haze or small water pockets during that time — that's normal and clears as it dries.
+Can you remove my old bubbling or purple tint?
Yes. We remove failed film, clean off the old adhesive and re-tint with quality Autobahn film. Removal is quoted with the job.
