Skip to content Looking for window tinting in San Antonio TX that actually lasts? Alamo Auto Aesthetics has been protecting vehicles across San Antonio for over 15 years. Our shop on Mainland Drive near Loop 1604 serves drivers from Stone Oak to Helotes and everywhere in between. We use premium ceramic, carbon, and hybrid window films from trusted brands like STEK and 3M. Every installation comes with a lifetime warranty and our signature attention to detail.
South Texas heat is brutal on vehicles. Interior temperatures can climb past 150°F during summer months, and that constant UV exposure fades dashboards, cracks leather seats, and makes your AC work overtime. Professional window tinting blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays while rejecting significant heat before it enters your cabin. Your car stays cooler. Your interior lasts longer. And you stop squinting every time you drive west on I-10 during rush hour.
Ceramic window film represents the best technology available today. Unlike older dyed films that fade and turn purple over time, ceramic tint uses nano-ceramic particles that reject heat without interfering with electronics. Your GPS, phone signal, and toll tag all work perfectly. Alamo Auto Aesthetics installs ceramic tint on everything from daily drivers to high-end vehicles like Teslas, Corvettes, and Rivians. The results speak for themselves in our 200+ five-star Google reviews.
Not every vehicle needs ceramic tint. Carbon window film offers excellent heat rejection and a matte finish that many drivers prefer. It won’t fade to purple like cheap dyed films, and it costs less than ceramic. Hybrid films combine multiple technologies to give you solid performance at a mid-range price point. Our team at Alamo Auto Aesthetics will walk you through each option and help you choose what makes sense for your vehicle and budget.
Texas allows window tint on all vehicles, but front windows have specific requirements. Your front side windows must allow at least 25% visible light transmission (VLT). Back side windows and rear windows can be any darkness you want, as long as your vehicle has dual side mirrors. The windshield can only be tinted above the AS-1 line or top 5 inches. Red, blue, and amber tints are prohibited statewide. We ensure every installation meets Texas law and passes state inspection.
Whether you drive a Honda Odyssey or a Corvette Z06, we have experience with your vehicle. Our shop handles sedans, trucks, SUVs, crossovers, sports cars, and electric vehicles. Tesla owners appreciate our familiarity with their unique glass configurations. Truck owners love the privacy and heat rejection on their crew cabs. Family vehicle owners want protection for passengers and interiors. We customize darkness levels and film types based on what you actually need from your tint.
Every window tint installation at Alamo Auto Aesthetics includes a lifetime warranty. If your film bubbles, peels, cracks, or discolors under normal use, we fix it. One customer had a small scuff on her windshield tint that would not go away. We replaced it at no charge. That warranty paper we hand you at pickup actually means something. We also schedule a two-week follow-up to make sure everything looks perfect after the film has fully cured.
Most window tint jobs at our San Antonio shop take just a few hours. Many customers drop off in the morning and pick up the same afternoon. We keep popular film shades in stock so there is no waiting for special orders on standard installations. If you need your vehicle back quickly, let us know when you schedule.

Before we begin the installation, our installers carefully clean all windows and edges to remove any dirt, dust, or debris. This meticulous cleaning ensures that the tint adheres perfectly to the glass, preventing any contamination that could cause bubbles or imperfections.
We take special care to protect the surrounding areas of your vehicle during the tinting process. By covering sensitive parts of your car, we minimize the risk of scratches or damage, ensuring your vehicle is safe and secure throughout the installation.
Using advanced software, we precisely cut the window film to fit the exact size and shape of your windows. This computerized cutting process ensures a perfect fit for each window, providing a seamless look that enhances your vehicle's appearance.
Our experienced installers use specialized tools and techniques to apply the window film smoothly and evenly. Their expertise ensures a bubble-free finish that adheres perfectly to the glass, giving your vehicle a polished and professional look.
Once the film is installed, we conduct a meticulous quality control check to ensure every detail is perfect. Our installers inspect each window for any imperfections and make adjustments as needed to guarantee a flawless result.
After the installation, we provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to help maintain your window tint’s longevity and performance. Following these simple guidelines will ensure your tint remains in excellent condition for years to come.
Front side windows must allow at least 25% light through. Back windows and rear windows can be any darkness as long as your vehicle has dual side mirrors. We make sure your tint passes Texas state inspection.
Most vehicles take 2-4 hours depending on the number of windows and film type. Same day service is available for most standard installations.
Wait 3-5 days before rolling down freshly tinted windows. This allows the adhesive to fully cure. We provide specific aftercare instructions at pickup.
Ceramic tint uses nano-ceramic particles for superior heat rejection and clarity. Carbon tint offers good heat rejection at a lower price point with a matte appearance. Both options are durable and will not fade purple.
