Customizing Your Window Tint: A Tailored Experience
On the day of your appointment, we take a personalized approach to help you select the perfect window tint for your vehicle. To start, we place small samples of the different tint shades we carry directly onto your driver-side window. This allows you to get a real-time feel for how each option will look on your vehicle. You can compare the shades and determine which one best fits your style and needs.
We also make sure to educate you about the Illinois legal limit for window tint, ensuring you remain compliant while getting the look you desire. Our team will walk you through the regulations and how they apply to your vehicle, so you have all the information you need to make an informed choice. Additionally, if you’re aiming for a uniform appearance between your front and rear windows, we can help guide you toward the right shade to match your factory-dyed glass.
By offering expert advice and hands-on samples, we aim to make your tint selection process smooth and satisfying. Our goal is to enhance your vehicle’s look while maintaining legal standards, giving you the best of both worlds.
Trickle Charger
When we install window tint, keeping the vehicle’s ignition on is essential so we can roll the windows up and down for a precise fit. However, leaving the ignition on for an extended period can drain the car’s battery, and each time a battery dies, it shortens its life expectancy. We take every measure to protect your vehicle during the tinting process, and one of the key ways we do this is by using a trickle charger.
A trickle charger ensures your car battery maintains a constant, optimal charge while we work on your windows. This not only prevents the battery from draining, it also safeguards its long-term performance. By using this technology, we ensure your vehicle’s electrical system stays protected, giving you peace of mind that both your tint and car are in the best hands possible during the process.
Waiting Area
Sit back, relax, and enjoy a cold beverage while we take care of your vehicle. Whether you’re here for window tinting, PPF, or a vinyl wrap, we want your visit to be as enjoyable as possible. Being located within Car Club, you can explore our showroom filled with unique vehicles, ranging from vintage classics to modern beauties.
Get nostalgic with our retro arcade games, or head over to the club’s lounge to catch up on auto events and news. If you need to work, we provide comfortable stations and high-speed internet to keep you connected.
As part of the Car Club community, you can even network with fellow car enthusiasts and admire custom builds. We’ve created an atmosphere where every minute of your wait is worth it. No matter how you spend your time here, rest assured your vehicle is in expert hands.
Heat Lamp
Not sure which window film is best for your vehicle? No need to worry! We know it can be challenging to choose the right tint, which is why we provide a hands-on experience to help you decide. Using our heat lamp demonstration, you’ll get a real-time feel for how our ceramic window film performs, especially in terms of heat and UV blocking.
To give you even more clarity, we use a BTU meter to measure solar transmission, or the amount of heat entering the vehicle. A lower BTU reading means less heat, helping you understand exactly how well each film reduces heat inside your car. This way, you can make an informed decision based on actual performance, not just technical details.
With the combination of our heat lamp and BTU meter, you’ll clearly see how our ceramic film enhances your driving comfort, protects your vehicle’s interior, and reduces energy costs. You’ll leave confident that you’ve chosen the perfect film for your needs.
Tint Meter
Many of our clients prefer their driver and passenger side windows to match the tint on their rear windows for a more uniform and cohesive look. To achieve this, we use a tint meter, which measures the visible light transmittance (VLT) of the factory-dyed glass on the rear windows. This allows us to find a tint shade that closely matches, giving your vehicle a balanced appearance.
While it’s important to note that front windows may appear slightly lighter due to the added light coming through the front windshield, the tint meter provides the most accurate estimate possible. This ensures that the tint on the front windows complements the rear windows as closely as possible. By using this precise tool, we can help you achieve the sleek, consistent look you’re aiming for while staying within legal tint limits.
With our expertise and the accuracy of the tint meter, you can feel confident that your vehicle’s tint will have a clean, seamless appearance from every angle, enhancing both its aesthetics and functionality.
Paint Report
For our paint correction and PPF services, we use a high-precision paint meter to measure the thickness of your vehicle’s paint layers. This includes the base coat, clear coat, and primer, providing a complete understanding of your car’s paint condition. The paint meter allows us to detect any inconsistencies or imperfections in the paint that may not be visible to the naked eye. This is especially important because damage can occur during transit from the factory to the dealership, or even at some point in the vehicle’s history.
By carefully measuring the paint thickness, we can identify areas that may have already been repainted or touched up, and areas where the paint is thinner than expected, indicating possible damage or wear. This is crucial for ensuring the effectiveness of our paint correction process, as it helps us understand how much we can safely correct without risking further damage.
Once we complete the paint analysis, we provide our clients with a detailed paint report that breaks down the condition of the vehicle’s paint. This report not only offers peace of mind, it also helps the client understand the current state of their vehicle’s exterior before proceeding with any paint correction or PPF installation. With this information, our clients can make informed decisions about the care and protection of their vehicle, knowing that we are committed to transparency and the highest level of service.
Every company says they're the best.

Marion JonesDecember 29, 2024 I’m so glad I connected with my Uber driver and he was willing to share details about who tinted his car. I immediately called and scheduled an appointment. SkinzTek is 10/10! From the exceptional customer service and follow up, to the email/text reminders (because I almost forgot about my appt.), I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. On appointment day, I met the owner and he was such a pleasure to work with. He was extremely personable and professional, sharing details about the process and willing to answer any questions. I LOVE the end result - my car/tint looks great. Thank you Eric and SkinzTech! I highly recommend this business to anyone looking for a 5-star experience. They are exceptional! Glad to have connected with SkinzTech soon after moving to Chicago! Jonathan HuertasDecember 29, 2024 Got my front tints done then after seeing how informative and professional they were, I had to come back for the front windshield tint and 3yr Ceramic Coating. The car looks better than it did when I got it from the dealership! D BoromDecember 27, 2024 I recently worked with SkinzTek in Chicago for window tint and ceramic coating. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Having used other companies before, including some popular YouTube/social media guys, I can confidently say SkinzTek is the best. The Skinztek team was fantastic, from requesting a quote on their website to dropping the car off and picking it up. They sent a detailed quote (at a reasonable price) explaining all my options. Throughout the process, Erick kept me updated, which I appreciated. When I picked up my car, Erick walked me through his work and gave me tips for keeping it in tip-top shape. Even though my car was brand new, Erick managed to make it look even more immaculate than the first day I got it. You can tell he loves what he does and takes the time to produce outstanding work. I highly recommend SkinzTek to anyone looking for quality window tinting and ceramic coating services. Erick and his team are knowledgeable, skilled, and genuinely care about their customers.
