How much does window tinting cost in Calgary? At Obsidian Auto it runs from $249 for our carbon film to $849 for a full-vehicle STEK Ultra ceramic package. What you pay comes down to three things: how many windows, how big the vehicle, and which film — carbon for the look and UV protection, ceramic when you want the heat gone too. No mystery pricing, no surprise line items at pickup. You get the full number up front. Every install is computer-cut for a precise fit, hand-finished at the edges, and backed by a lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling, and fading. And if carbon is all your car needs, I'll tell you that — I'd rather you spend right than spend big.

Window Tinting Cost Guide
Real numbers, no runaround. Premium carbon and ceramic film, cut and installed in a climate-controlled Calgary shop, every job backed by a lifetime warranty.
Quick Alberta reality check: dark tint is legal on your rear side windows and rear glass — go as dark as 5% limo if you want. Front side windows and the windshield can only take near-clear UV/heat film (or a top strip), unless you carry a medical exemption. We only ever install what's road-legal for your vehicle.

Popular Add-Ons
Windshield Tint (Clear)
$295-$395
Near-clear ceramic film that kills windshield heat and UV without darkening the glass — legal, since it isn't a dark shade.
Sunroof/Moonroof
$149-$249
Full ceramic coverage for a panoramic or standard sunroof — cuts the overhead heat on sunny commutes.
Front Windshield Strip
$49
Tinted visor strip along the top for chinook glare. Sits above the AS1 line, so it's fully legal in Alberta.
Premium Edge Sealing
$49
Extra moisture barrier at the edges so the film stays put through Calgary's freeze-thaw swings.
Old Tint Removal
$99-$199
Careful removal of failing or bubbled film — done without cooking your rear defroster lines.
