Hey folks! This is Jake from Magnatech Auto Glass.

Welcome to another Q&A session where I answer questions from y'all on the internet.

Today's question is:

"Can Magnatech tint my car windows darker than what’s legal?"

Answer

So the quick answer is no. So a liability issue. We were not going to tint it darker than legal. Don't put that one in there.

 Don't put that one in there. Don't put that one in there. Unless you want to put it funny. Unless you're fine with a funny one in there.

Summary

Magnatech Autoglass reported they can generally get to a customer within a couple of hours for emergency window replacements, though wait times can extend to 24 hours during busy periods (00:11:58). If a window is broken due to a punch, it is considered vandalism and covered under comprehensive insurance, along with the emotional damage aspect (00:18:08). Magnatech Autoglass refused to tint windows darker than the legal limit due to liability issues (00:13:59).
