Auto Tinting Done Right, At Our Shop or Your Driveway

Tint-On-Wheels has installed auto window tint in McAllen and across the Rio Grande Valley since 1998.

We tint cars, trucks, SUVs, and RVs at our shop on 2nd Street, or our mobile unit comes to your home or workplace in Cameron, Hidalgo, Starr, and Willacy Counties.

Every film is computer-cut for your exact glass, so there are no razor blades touching your windows and no gaps at the edges. The result is a clean, bubble-free install that still looks right years down the road.

The Texas Senate recognized our 25 years of service to this community with an official resolution, and the hundreds of five-star reviews customers have left tell you how the work holds up.

When you're done with the car, we tint homes and offices too.

Know Before You Tint

Is Window Tint Legal in Texas?

Window tint is legal in Texas, and the rules are simple once someone explains them. Front side windows must let in at least 25% of light.

The windshield can carry a tinted strip above the AS-1 line, and clear UV film is allowed on the rest of the glass. Rear side windows have no darkness limit at all, and the back glass can go as dark as you want when the vehicle has outside mirrors on both sides.

We install to current Texas tint requirements every time, so your front windows stay within the state's legal limits. If you want the darkest legal look for your vehicle, tell us and we'll set you up right at the line, not over it.

What Valley Drivers Say About Our Tint Work

★★★★★

"Called multiple places for quotes and got the best and cheaper at Tint on Wheels. Showed up the same day and got the same estimate at the door as over the phone. They even saved me some money by realizing my windows were already tinted. The waiting room had complimentary water and coffee and a TV. Will definitely recommend and come back. Ceramic tint is guaranteed for life!"

★★★★★

"On June 2011, my truck was serviced by this business. I was told to keep my receipt due to the lifetime warranty on the tint. On March 2019 one of the door films was starting to bubble and took it back to the business. I showed my original receipt and it was fixed at no cost, just like they told me, LIFETIME WARRANTY. On May 2021 my other window film began to bubble and took it back. It was also fixed at no cost. Mind you the film had been on my windows for over 10 years, wear and tear. The back window film is in very good condition. I highly recommend this business for their fast, good price and professional service. 👍🏼"

★★★★★

"I had a great experience getting my front windshield tinted with them. Waited in the lobby with my daughter and they knocked it out in about an hour. 70% ceramic tint makes a noticeable difference in the Texas heat!"

Straight Answers

Auto Window Tinting Questions We Hear Every Week

Is it legal to tint my front windows in Texas? +

Window tint is legal in Texas as long as front side windows let in at least 25% of light. The windshield can carry a tinted strip above the AS-1 line, and clear UV film is allowed on the rest of the glass.

Rear side windows have no darkness limit, and the back glass can go darker when the vehicle has outside mirrors on both sides. We install to current Texas tint requirements, so your front windows stay within the state's legal limits.

How long does auto window tinting take? +
Auto window tinting takes 2 to 3 hours for most cars. Trucks and SUVs with more glass can run a little longer. If we come to you, you're free to work or relax while we handle it.
When can I roll my windows down after tinting? +
Keep your windows up for 3 to 5 days after tinting. The film needs time to cure, and rolling a window down early can shift it before the adhesive sets. Valley heat speeds up curing, so summer installs finish on the faster end. Our guide on how long to keep the windows up after tinting covers the full wait and what to do if a window slips down early.
Do I bring my car to you, or do you come to me? +

Tint-On-Wheels does both in-shop and mobile installation. Our shop is at 317 N Col Rowe Blvd in McAllen, and our mobile unit installs at homes and workplaces in Cameron, Hidalgo, Starr, and Willacy Counties.

Same film, same warranty, whichever you pick.

Can you remove old purple or bubbling tint first? +
We remove old or failing tint before installing new film, stripping the film and cleaning the old adhesive off the glass. Purple tint means the dye broke down, which is exactly what our color-stable films are built to avoid.
Will tint really keep my car cooler? +

Window tint keeps your car cooler, and the film you pick decides how much. Our High Performance film blocks up to 58% of the sun's heat, Nano Carbon up to 70%, and Extreme Ceramic up to 95%.

You feel the difference the first time you come back to your parked car.

What does the warranty cover? +
Our auto tint warranty covers peeling, bubbling, and fading on every film we install. Every film we install carries a lifetime warranty for as long as you own the vehicle. We've been in McAllen since 1998, so the warranty is backed by a business that will still be here to keep it.
How much does car window tinting cost? +

Car window tinting cost depends on your vehicle and the film you choose, so we quote by phone or in person. Call (956) 682-2915 with your year, make, and model and you'll have a number in minutes.

We offer 0% financing, and military members and First Responders get a discount.
