WindshieldThe rock hits the film. Not your windshield.
A new windshield averages about $1,000, and many newer cars need their cameras recalibrated after. XPEL Windshield Protection Film is a clear layer on the outside of the glass that takes the chips first. You won't see it from the driver's seat.

Had to delete my last 5 star Google to leave another one because I'm a repeat customer. That's already a good sign. Earlier this year I had my front windows and windshield ceramic tinted by Upstate Auto Styling. Last month, a rock cracked my windshield so when I got it replaced, heading right back there was my first stop. …
Absolutely love these guys. We had the windows of my caddy tinted. Yuri, the tint installer, is great! We're getting our Ram done as well. Quick appointments, within a week. Couple hours for the tints, without the windshield. I recommend Upstate, if you're wanting precision, quality tints. Update: My rear window tint had started to bubble a bit, for some strange reason. …
I've been looking for someone to replace the window tint on the back windshield of my car for weeks. One was too busy, most were too expensive, some never responded. That's NOT the experience I had at Upstate Auto Styling in Spartanburg! …
We were looking to add tint to our vehicle. We have never had ceramic but we're curious about it. They have a lamp inside to show you the difference between ceramic vs. standard tint. With their current promo, and the difference in temperature rejection, it was an easy choice. They were very patient and answered all my questions. …
Hello everyone, just want to reach out and tell you about my wonderful experience with Upstate Auto Styling. They picked up my truck on day 1. The truck already had amazing looks, but they went the extra mile and took it over and beyond. I got the trak pak choice of ppf, blacked out tint on the back, with legal tint on driver, passenger, and windshield. The rest of the truck got 4 year ceramic and it looks tough. …
Upstate Auto Styling did an awesome job tinting the windows on my daughter’s 2023 Jetta. I was really impressed with the ceramic tint placed on the windshield as it greatly reduced the heat from the sun. The tinted windows really rocks her Jetta so I decided to have the windows tinted in my 2006 Toyota Highlander. Of course I had the ceramic tint placed on my windshield also. …
Great job, called on a Friday they had an opening the next day. Got in and had a consult for the best way to handle my truck due to factory tint on the rear windows. Was advised to go clear over factory tint to get the ceramic advantage and do the regular ceramic tint on the front windows and the clear 70% on the windshield. …
I received a ceramic coating and front windshield tint on my 2021 corvette. Vlad made the process of booking the appointment very smooth! Sergio did a phenomenal job with ceramic coating! Couldn’t be happier with the finished product!
Went in for a basic front window match and strip on front windshield. Service and response time was quick and easy. Sat in waiting room during lunch and was back to work in no time. Ceramic tint works very well with summer heat. Highly recommend!
To the point the prices are premium and the service and workmanship are worth it. Did my windshield today 6/10/25 gr8 job. Did my Freightliner Cascadia a year ago excellent job. If you take pride in your ride these are the people you want RIGHT HERE.
Had my Ford Transit Connect front windshield visor strip and two front windows done, WOW what a difference it has made in looks as well as comfort! Thanks team
Quality installation of Ceramic Tint. Excellent attention to details. I had front windshield fully tinted along with the rest of the vehicle's windows in 35 VLT tint. Car looks badass but if I start getting stopped/cited I'll have front windshield tint removed up to ASA line.
pay over timeA clear sacrificial layer on the outside of the glass. When it gets chipped, we replace the film, not your windshield.
Clear from the driver's seat. XPEL says it doesn't reduce visibility or affect windshield sensors.
Your dash and your skin get a break too.
A hard enough hit can still crack glass. The film stops the everyday chips that start most cracks.
XPEL covers peeling, yellowing, bubbling and hazing. Chips in the film aren't covered, because taking chips is its job.
Fresh blades glide clean on the film. Use the defroster, not an ice scraper. Any washer fluid is fine.
Exact price back in about 15 minutes.

Windshield film goes on the outside. Clear ceramic windshield tint goes on the inside and cuts heat without darkening your view. Most customers do both in one visit.
