On 9/28/2025 Terry had this to say:
This is the first place I stop when I get a new vehicle. I have the windows tinted and decals added to spruce it up. At 79 YO, the wife and I do get a look every now and then when we get out. This is the third new vehicle Auto Appearance has dressed up for us. The Santa Fe on the decal was custom made for us too. Testimonial written by Terry on this site.

FAQ

What is Auto Appearance?
Auto Appearance is a professional automotive customization and accessory installation business located in New Haven, Indiana. The shop has decades of experience serving customers in the region with high-quality automotive window tinting, remote start systems, electronic accessories, and other vehicle enhancement services.
What kinds of services do you provide?
Auto Appearance specializes in:

Window Tinting: Professionally installed window film for cars, trucks, and SUVs.

Remote Start Systems: Installation of remote start units so you can start your vehicle remotely.

Electronic Accessories: Keyless entry systems, alarm systems, audio and video upgrades, Bluetooth and hands-free kits.

Appearance Accessories: Custom graphics, decals, chrome and trim additions, and aesthetic upgrades.

Custom Installations: Tailored installations for performance and aesthetic enhancement requests.
What is window tint and why should I get it?
Window tint is a thin film applied to the interior of your vehicle’s windows that provides:

UV protection to block harmful sun rays.

Heat reduction to keep the interior cooler in hot weather.

Glare reduction to improve driver comfort and visibility.

Interior protection by reducing fade and cracking caused by sun exposure.

Privacy and security by making it harder to see inside the vehicle.

Improved aesthetics for a sleek, finished look.
How do I choose the right tint level?
Choosing a tint level depends on your preferences and legal requirements:

Darker tints provide more privacy and heat reduction but may be subject to legal limits.

Lighter tints let in more light and may be more suitable for front windows while still reducing glare and heat.

The team can help you understand which tint level matches your needs.
What types of tint films are available?
There are multiple options, including:

Dyed film: Provides good privacy and appearance at a value price.

Metalized film: Helps reflect heat and UV rays for improved cooling.

Ceramic film: Offers premium heat rejection without affecting electronic signals; provides excellent clarity and durability.

Carbon film: A non-metalized, long-lasting choice that delivers deeper color and moderate heat rejection.

The tint shade is measured by Visible Light Transmission (VLT) percentage — lower numbers mean darker tint.
How long does tint installation usually take?
Tint installation typically takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the vehicle size and complexity of the window shapes. Larger or more curved windows may require additional time.
Will the tint damage my windows or electronics?
No — professional installers use proper techniques and tools to ensure tint is applied cleanly without damage to glass, weatherstrips, or electronic window controls. A skilled installation prevents bubbling, peeling, or fast fading.
Can tint be installed on all windows?
Yes, tint can be installed on:

Front and rear side windows

Rear liftgate or trunk windows

Quarter windows on some vehicles

Sunroofs (optional for some customers)
How far in advance should I schedule?
It’s best to schedule as far ahead as possible, especially for popular services like window tinting and remote start installs. Many customers schedule at least a week in advance when possible.
How much does window tint cost?
Tint pricing varies based on:

Vehicle size (car, truck, SUV)

Type of film selected (standard, metalized, ceramic)

Number of windows to be tinted

You will receive a personalized estimate when you schedule your service.
