Ceramic Window Tint in Scottsdale, AZ: Every Price Published, No Scottsdale Markup
We are the East Valley's published-price ceramic tint shop: one run down the 101 to Ray Road. Three nano-ceramic films that block up to 99% of infrared heat and 99% of UV, from $499 for most vehicles, every price online before you ever call anyone.
Scottsdale has plenty of tint shops. One publishes every price.
Ceramic window tint uses nano-ceramic particles to reject infrared heat before it reaches the cabin, which matters in a city that spends its summers above 110 degrees. Scottsdale drivers bake on the 101 and Shea in the same sun as everyone else, and cheap dyed film does almost nothing about the heat you actually feel.
Shops around Scottsdale install good films, but most quote by phone, sell one brand, and price for the zip code. We publish the exact installed price for every vehicle and let you compare three nano-ceramic films by their measured specs, side by side, before you commit to anything. Start with the prices below and build your exact total right on this page.
Auto Cosmetics® installs LLumar IRX, STEK Nex+, and 3M Ceramic IR, cut by computer pattern to your exact glass. We are spec-driven, not brand-locked, so you choose film by infrared rejection and warranty, never by whichever single label a shop happens to carry.

The numbers behind the film
SIRR at 1,400nm is the spec that predicts how cool your cabin feels: it measures infrared rejection at the wavelength where sunlight converts to felt heat. We publish it for every film, from each manufacturer's data sheet. Pick a shade below to see the exact numbers for that darkness.
| Spec | LLumar IRX | STEK Nex+ | 3M Ceramic IR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infrared rejection (SIRR at 1,400nm) | 80 to 89% | 97 to 99% | 91 to 95% |
| Total solar energy rejected (TSER) | 42 to 62% | 47 to 69% | 45 to 63% |
| UV block | 99% | 99% | 99.9% |
| Construction | Nano-ceramic | Nano-ceramic | Nano-ceramic |
| Signal safe (GPS, 5G, toll tag) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Film warranty | Lifetime | Lifetime | Lifetime (3M-backed) |
| Install guarantee | Auto Cosmetics workmanship guarantee on every installation, in climate-controlled bays | ||
Arizona sun is not cosmetic. It is a daily load on you and the car.
Scottsdale sees more than 300 days of sun a year, summer dashboards that exceed 160 degrees, and heat soak in every uncovered parking lot from Old Town to Kierland. Ceramic tint is the difference between a car that cools in two minutes and one that never really does.
Blocks the heat you feel
Up to 99% of infrared rejected at the wavelength that becomes cabin heat. Cooler seats, cooler wheel, less AC fighting the sun at every Scottsdale stoplight.
99% UV protection
Comparable to high-SPF sunblock for every mile you drive. Protects your skin on the driver's side and stops the sun from cracking your dash and fading seats.
Signal safe, glare down
No metal layer, so GPS, 5G, and toll tags work untouched. Glare drops noticeably for east-west commutes into the sun on Shea or Indian School.
Protects interior value
Arizona sun is the number one killer of dashboards, screens, and leather. Blocking it preserves the interior an appraiser sees first.
What is legal in Scottsdale? Same as everywhere in Arizona.
Arizona tint law applies statewide, including Scottsdale and all of Maricopa County. We install to the legal limit by default, and every shade we quote is street-legal.
Front side windows
Must allow more than 33% of light through. In practice that means a 35% VLT shade is the darkest legal front tint.
Rear sides and back windshield
Any darkness is legal behind the driver. Most Scottsdale customers run 35% front over 15 or 20% rear for a factory-matched look.
Front windshield
Non-reflective tint is allowed above the AS-1 line. For full coverage we install a 70% clear ceramic layer: 99% infrared block with no visible darkening, fully legal.

Why drivers pass closer shops to get here
"During my first visit, I planned to stay through the entire tint installation, but they surprised me by ordering an Uber to take me home and bring me back when it was ready, at no cost. Hector and the team are excellent and guided me through various options. I will only trust this shop for window tint, PPF, or any other services they provide."
"This is my FIFTH vehicle being taken to Auto Cosmetics for their professional touch. Vehicles continue to get more and more expensive so you want to use a shop that stands behind their work and only uses products they trust."
"I love that their prices are very transparent on their website, so I knew exactly what I'd be paying without the hassle of waiting for a quote. They were able to move me up to an earlier appointment last minute. The whole process was smooth and easy. Highly recommend!"
One freeway, no guesswork: the 101 straight to Ray Road
The shop sits at 500 N. 56th Street in Chandler, just off I-10 at Ray Road: the 101 south to Ray Road, then Ray west, one freeway the whole way. A proper ceramic tint install takes 4 to 5 hours, so drop off in the morning and pick up a cooler car the same afternoon.
South Scottsdale and Old Town
20 to 25 minutes down the 101. Drop off in the morning and the car is ready the same afternoon.
Central Scottsdale and Shea
About 30 minutes on the 101 south. One freeway, one exit, no surface-street maze.
North Scottsdale and Kierland
30 to 35 minutes. Customers tell us the published price is what makes the drive worth it.
