Window Tint

Austin sunshine is great, but not when it’s beating down on you during your commute. The ceramic window tint we install at APS is designed to keep your vehicle cooler, more comfortable, and more private.

Our ceramic tint reduces glare, so driving into the sun is easier on your eyes. It also blocks harmful UV rays, helping protect your skin and preventing your car’s interior from fading, cracking, or wearing out too soon. You’ll notice a more comfortable cabin, especially during those hot Texas summers.

Beyond comfort, window tint adds privacy and a sleek, polished look to any vehicle. It keeps prying eyes away from your belongings while giving your car a clean, custom appearance.

Our team installs every tint with attention to detail, so you get a smooth, bubble-free finish that looks great and performs well. Whether you drive a sedan, SUV, or truck, we’ll help you choose the right option for your needs and style.

Paint Protection Film

Rocks, gravel, road debris, and everyday wear can leave your car’s paint covered in chips and scratches. Our XPEL paint protection film (PPF), installed right here in Austin, creates a nearly invisible barrier that absorbs the damage so your paint doesn’t have to.

PPF is a clear, durable film applied directly to your vehicle’s painted surfaces. It guards against scratches, stone chips, bug splatter, and light abrasions while preserving your car’s original look. Because it’s transparent, your color and finish stay front and center, just better protected.

Our experienced installers use precise techniques to ensure clean edges, a seamless appearance, and a perfect fit for your vehicle’s make and model. You can choose full-body coverage for maximum protection or focus on high-impact areas like the hood, bumper, fenders, and mirrors.

Protecting your paint with PPF also helps maintain your vehicle’s appearance and resale value over time, saving you the cost and hassle of future paint repairs.

Ceramic coating application at APS in Austin, TX

Ceramic Coating

Your vehicle’s paint faces constant exposure to sun, dirt, bird droppings, and road grime. Our XPEL Fusion Plus Ceramic Coating gives it a durable, long-lasting layer of protection so it keeps looking its best for years.

Once applied, the coating bonds to your vehicle’s surface and creates a slick, hydrophobic finish. Water, dirt, and contaminants have a harder time sticking, which makes washing your car faster and easier. It also deepens your paint’s color and boosts gloss, bringing back that rich, showroom shine.

At APS, every ceramic coating installation starts with careful surface preparation, because a flawless finish depends on a clean, properly prepared surface. Our team takes the time to do it right, so you get a smooth, even result that lasts.

Whether you drive a daily commuter, a luxury vehicle, or a weekend showpiece, ceramic coating is one of the smartest ways to protect your investment and simplify maintenance. For even more complete protection, it pairs well with paint protection film.

Windshield Protection Film

Your windshield takes a beating every time you drive. Flying gravel, road debris, and highway traffic can lead to chips, cracks, and pitting that not only look bad but also compromise your safety and visibility.

Our windshield protection film adds a tough, optically clear layer over the glass that absorbs impact and helps prevent damage before it starts. It reduces the risk of costly chips and cracks, and it helps keep your view clear and distraction-free, especially during long drives on Texas highways.

We work with XPEL, the top manufacturer in the States, so you can count on quality materials designed to perform. The film is installed with care and precision, so it blends in without affecting how you see the road.

Replacing a windshield can be expensive and time-consuming, and protection film is a smart, affordable way to avoid that headache. It’s a simple upgrade that adds lasting peace of mind every time you get behind the wheel.

Had my Cybertruck tinted at APS and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I compared several shops before choosing them, and I’m glad I went with APS. Would recommend them if you’re looking to get your vehicle tinted.

We had an outstanding experience with APS getting PPF and tint installed on our Tesla Model Y L. From the initial quote to pickup, the entire process was seamless. Communication was excellent. They kept us informed leading up to the installation date and made everything easy from start to finish. The quality of the work truly impressed us. The attention to detail and care they put into our vehicle were evident when we picked it up. Their fair pricing, combined with the exceptional workmanship and service, makes APS an incredible value. We couldn’t be happier with the result and highly recommend APS to anyone considering PPF and tint!

I had APS Window Tint & PPF in Dripping Springs wrap my white 911 Carrera S in full-body color PPF, matte black, and the result is honestly better than I imagined. The car looks like it left the factory this way. The attention to detail is what sets them apart. Edges are tucked cleanly, seams are nearly invisible, and there's no lifting, bubbles, or stretch marks anywhere — even on the tricky curves of a 911. Up close, the finish is flawless and even across every panel. Beyond the quality of the work, the experience was great. They were professional, communicative, and clearly take pride in what they do. When you're trusting someone with a car you care about, that matters. If you're considering PPF, color change, or tint, don't look anywhere else. I couldn't be happier.

I had them tint my 90’ Fox Body, it came out great. He knows his way around new and classic cars. I also just took him my 26’ Tundra for windshield tint, due to a design flaw in their hoods - especially white trucks, where you get a horrible reflection in early/late low lying sun. Jorge offered a solution to install mat black vinyl over the center of the hood to cover the angles that were causing me issues. They got it installed perfectly and even transitioned the terminations to line up the windshield trim and a-pillars. I’ would trust them with any vehicle in my collection.

I got my windows tinted at APS toward the end of the summer and I immediately noticed a difference in the temperature inside my car. It is installed seamlessly, you can barely tell it’s there! Definitely worth bringing your car to APS.

Absolutely amazing service! I brought an BMW in with a very difficult stain that nobody else had been able to remove, and they completely took care of it. The car looks incredible and the stain is completely gone! You can really tell they know what they’re doing and take pride in their work. Highly professional, friendly, and detail-oriented. I’m extremely happy with the results and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality car detailing. 5 stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
