A shop that walks you through the film before it touches your car
Tanos Window Tint & PPF works on one thing: protecting the glass and paint you're sitting behind every day. Before any roll of film gets cut, the options get laid out plainly — what a given tint or coating actually does, what it costs you in visibility or upkeep, and whether your car even needs the top-tier option. The work happens on-site while you wait, with the shine and clarity of the finished panel checked before you drive off. It's the kind of shop people come back to for the next car.

Questions
How do you decide which tint or coating I actually need?
It starts with a conversation about how you use the car — glare, heat, privacy, or paint protection — and what's realistic for your windows. The recommendation follows that conversation instead of leading with the most expensive product on the shelf.
What's the difference between PPF and ceramic coating?
PPF is a physical film that shields specific panels from chips and scratches. Ceramic coating is a bonded layer over the existing paint that resists water, dirt, and UV dulling. Some cars get one, some get both, depending on what you're trying to protect.
Can I wait while the work is done?
Yes — the work happens on-site, and you're kept updated on progress as each panel or section is finished, rather than left guessing how far along the car is.
