Window Tint Laws & Best Practices
How dark can you tint your car windows in Arizona? State law allows for tint that blocks 35% of light on the front two windows, while the rear windows can be as dark as you prefer. At AGS Auto Glass & Calibrations, we recommend 35% tint for the front windows and 20% for the rear to ensure a balance between legal compliance and optimal nighttime visibility.
Tinting also enhances safety. Bright sunlight can impair your vision while driving, and window tint reduces glare, allowing for better visibility and improved driving safety.
In the unfortunate event of an accident, window tint can make the glass shatter-resistant, helping to prevent glass fragments from flying into the vehicle and causing injury. This extra layer of protection keeps you and your passengers safer than untinted glass.
Additionally, window tint shields your skin from harmful UV rays, reducing your risk of skin damage or even skin cancer during long drives. It blocks up to 99% of UV rays, providing vital protection while on the road.
Auto window tinting is an affordable and highly effective way to protect yourself, your vehicle, and your passengers.

Your Auto Glass Tinting Questions Answered
Is window tinting legal in Arizona?
Yes. Arizona law allows front side windows to let in at least 33% of visible light, while rear and back windows can be darker.
Arizona’s tint laws are designed to balance comfort and safety. The front side windows must allow more than 33% of visible light to pass through, ensuring drivers can see clearly in all conditions. The rear side and back windows may be tinted to any level of darkness, which helps with privacy and heat reduction. Reflective tints are limited to 35% reflectivity, and only a non-reflective strip is allowed at the top of the windshield (above the AS-1 line). When professionally installed, your tint will meet state standards and avoid legal issues.
How long does window tinting take?
Most vehicles can be tinted in about 1–3 hours, depending on size and the number of windows.
The installation time depends on several factors—your vehicle type, the number of windows, and the tint film you choose. A typical sedan can be completed in about an hour and a half, while SUVs or vehicles with complex rear windows may take closer to three. Our team carefully prepares each surface to ensure perfect adhesion and clarity. After installation, we’ll also walk you through post-care instructions to help your tint cure properly and last as long as possible.
How long will my tint last?
High-quality films like SolarGard can last 10 years or more, often backed by a lifetime warranty.
Durability depends on film quality, exposure, and installation technique. Entry-level tints may fade within a few years, but premium films such as SolarGard’s High Performance Smoke Plus are engineered to resist UV damage, peeling, and bubbling even in harsh climates like Arizona. When professionally applied and properly maintained, they can easily last a decade or longer. With our lifetime manufacturer’s warranty, you’ll have lasting peace of mind knowing your tint is protected.
Does tinting really keep my car cooler?
Yes. Quality tint can block up to 45–65% of solar heat, making your car noticeably cooler.
Window tinting reduces the amount of solar infrared radiation entering your car. This heat-blocking ability significantly lowers the interior temperature—especially important in Arizona, where sunlight can push cabin temps well above 140°F. A cooler cabin means less reliance on air conditioning, improved fuel efficiency, and a more comfortable driving experience. Additionally, by reducing heat buildup, tinting helps extend the lifespan of your interior materials and electronic systems.
Will tinting reduce glare while driving?
Absolutely. Window tint minimizes glare from sunlight and headlights, improving visibility and reducing eye strain.
Tint films are designed to filter out excessive visible light that causes glare during the brightest parts of the day or from headlights at night. By reducing that harsh brightness, you can drive more comfortably without squinting or straining your eyes. The result is better visibility, improved reaction time, and a safer overall driving experience—especially in Arizona, where low-angle sunlight can be blinding during sunrise and sunset.
Can tinting help protect my car’s interior?
Yes. Tinting helps prevent fading, cracking, and deterioration of your car’s upholstery, dashboard, and trim.
The sun’s ultraviolet rays and heat are the leading causes of interior aging. Over time, materials like leather, vinyl, and plastics break down and lose color. Window tinting acts like sunscreen for your vehicle—blocking up to 99% of harmful UV rays while also reducing heat buildup. This protection helps maintain your car’s value, appearance, and comfort, extending the life of your interior finishes.
Will tint affect my visibility at night?
Not if the correct shade is chosen. High-quality films like SolarGard maintain optical clarity even in low light.
Visibility at night depends largely on the darkness level and quality of the tint film. Cheap or overly dark films can obscure details and reduce peripheral visibility. Premium films, however, use advanced optical technology to filter out glare and UV rays without significantly reducing visible light transmission. This means you can enjoy the benefits of tinting during the day without sacrificing safety when driving after dark. Our team will help you choose a film that provides the perfect balance for both day and night conditions.
