We come to you

James Bowen comes to you for mobile car window tinting in South Shields. His van carries the tools and supplies its own power, so you don't need to provide electricity. Fitting takes place on your driveway or in a workplace car park.

We also visit Westoe, Harton and Whiteleas, with mobile appointments across South Tyneside. The film is applied to the inside of the glass; a full car usually takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on the vehicle. After fitting, you'll receive a warranty card, microfibre cleaning cloth, keyring and care instructions.

Choose your tint

For your South Shields car, the rear side windows and rear windscreen can take any of our shades: darkest Onyx 5%, Luna 20%, Twilight 35%, Fifty 50% or lightest 70%. The number tells you how much light passes through the film. The installer advises on legal shades for the front glass; the existing glass and film count together. Film cuts heat and glare, adds privacy and blocks up to 99% of UV; use the tint viewer to compare shades on your make and model.

What happens when the installer arrives?

They look over the car, go through the shades and which are legal on each window, then fit the film from inside the car. Most cars take 1.5 to 2.5 hours, and you get a warranty card, a microfibre cloth, a keyring and care instructions at the end.

Does the weather matter?

Rarely. The film goes on the inside of the glass, so rain doesn’t stop the job, and the van carries its own power and everything the installer needs.

What if something goes wrong later?

Car tint comes with a lifetime warranty for as long as you own the car. If it peels, bubbles or fades, the installer comes back to your home or workplace and fixes it.

How we work

Everything comes on the van

The van is independently powered and carries everything the installer needs, so you don’t have to provide electricity or a garage. A driveway or a workplace car park is enough.

What you get with every car

Every car tint has a lifetime warranty while you own the car, and the job isn’t finished until you’ve seen the result.

A clean handover

Before leaving, the installer goes round the car with you so you can see the finished windows, and leaves the car clean.

Lifetime warranty

For as long as you own the car. If the tint peels, bubbles or fades, we come back to your home or workplace to fix it.

Aftercare kit

A warranty card, a microfibre cleaning cloth, a keyring and care instructions. Small water bubbles or a slight haze are normal while the film dries, and they clear on their own.

  • Car tinting

    “Well all of the positive reviews were right ! From start to finish Renan was outstanding. We discussed the tint shade that I had selected and agreed that it was right. Despite installing in 30+ degree heat Renan didn't stop. He clearly knows his stuff and his advise about drying time etc was spot on. The tints have totally transferred the car and has made a real difference. Thank you ! Keep up the good work ! Thanks Dean”

    “Great experience from start to finish. Great communication even down to a text an hour before Mike was due as he was doing the job at my house which was the bonus of choosing Global Tint. When he turned up was a very pleasant guy, got on with the job and was finished within three quarters of an hour with no problems and the job was done perfectly. Would definitely use global tint again and recommend them to anyone.”
