During This Season of Gratefulness, Window Tint Tops Our List. Here’s Why.
As the Thanksgiving season hits us here on the Jersey Shore, we’re finding ourselves preparing for the moment our moms ask us to go around the dinner table and share what we’re thankful for.
One of those things that tops our list this year – and every year – is car window tint. Here are seven reasons why we give thanks for it.
1. When It’s Hot, Window Tint Keeps Us Cool
Truck driver, car enthusiast, or just a regular person driving from A to B – one thing that we all have in common is that we hate the feeling of getting in a hot car on a scorching day.
Auto window tinting reduces the temperature inside the vehicle. High-quality tint products such as 3M® and SolarGard window tint that we install can block up to 60% of solar energy that radiates through the windows, heating your car. This not only helps keep the interior cooler, but also means the air conditioning doesn’t have to work as hard.
2. It Protects Against Skin and Interior Damage
The sun’s UV rays can also cause long-term deterioration of your car’s interior through fading, cracking, and
upholstery damage. It also can cause certain types of skin cancer.
Fortunately, window tint blocks up to 99% of UV rays, not only protecting your skin, but also keeping your interior looking newer for longer. Whether you’re driving a Honda Civic or a Mercedes E-class, this can help protect the value of your vehicle.
3. Car Window Tint Makes Us Feel Safe and Secure
Car window tint isn’t just about comfort. It can also add privacy and enhance security. Tinted windows make it harder for passersby to see inside your car, providing a private and comfortable driving experience. Because people can’t see your belongings inside, it may also stop smash-and-grab thieves in their tracks. That’s a big win during the holiday season when you’re carrying holiday gifts to a family gathering and have to stop to pick up a few last-minute items.
4. It Makes Your Ride Look So, So Sweet
Those smooth, darkened windows with metallic flecks add style to any vehicle, even if you’re driving an older model year. Professional installation at Auto Image in East Brunswick, New Jersey, gets you flawlessly applied tint with no bubbles, creases, or peeling. Those flaws don’t look sweet!

5. Auto Window Tinting Holds the Glass Together
In the unfortunate event of an accident, window tint can help hold shattered glass together. The adhesive layer keeps shattered pieces together in a sheet, so you can reduce your risk of injury from flying glass.
Because your window glass won’t shatter as easily, you also don’t need to do as much clean-up if your window breaks. No one wants to accidentally sit on a stray glass shard!
Pro Tip: To improve your personal security at home, check out residential window tint options at Energy Solutions. Our sister company installs window film that helps prevent shattering glass in the event of a home break-in or extreme weather.
6. It Makes It Easier to See
With the sun beating down and reflecting off the windows or water along the Jersey Shore, drivers get a lot of glare that affects how well they can see. One of our favorite reasons to be grateful for window tint is that it can make it so much easier to see when the sun or headlights from oncoming traffic are shining.
Window tint can help you keep safer behind the wheel because you have greater visibility, and you’re no longer uncomfortable with all that glare.
7. We Don’t Have to Fill Up the Gas Tank As Often
Did you know that auto window tinting can also help you save on fuel costs? It’s just another reason we’re grateful for it!
By blocking out excess heat, tinted windows mean you don’t have to crank up the air conditioner in your car. With the AC on less, you’ll save on fuel.
Yes, the initial cost of installation is an investment, but the savings and reduced wear on your vehicle’s interior and AC pay off.
