Frequently Asked Questions from Gilroy Customers
Where is Blackout Window Tinting located in Gilroy?
We're at 610 Holloway Rd in Gilroy, right behind Target. Easy to find with plenty of parking. We moved to this new, larger facility to better serve our Gilroy customers.
How long has Blackout been in Gilroy?
We've been serving Gilroy and the South Bay since 1993—over 30 years of experience. Danny and Adrian Rubio continue the family tradition of quality installations and honest service.
Do you offer same-day service for Gilroy customers?
Yes! For most window tinting jobs, you can drop off your vehicle in the morning and pick it up the same afternoon. PPF and ceramic coating projects typically take 1-3 days depending on coverage.
What's the best PPF coverage for Highway 101 commuters?
For daily Highway 101 driving, we recommend at minimum a partial front package covering the hood edge, bumper, and mirrors. Full front coverage (full hood, fenders, bumper, mirrors) offers the best protection against rock chips from freeway traffic.
I just bought a new car at Gilroy Auto Mall—what protection should I get?
Congratulations! For new vehicles from Tesla, Toyota, Hyundai, or any Gilroy Auto Mall dealership, we recommend window tinting within the first week to protect your interior from UV damage. For paint protection, full front PPF is ideal before your first highway drive. We're just across Highway 101 from the Auto Mall—many customers drive straight from the dealership to us.
Do you offer fleet pricing for Gilroy businesses?
Yes! We work with local businesses like Christopher Ranch, trucking companies, and the City of Gilroy for volume fleet tinting. Contact us for commercial pricing on 5+ vehicles—we offer dedicated scheduling and priority service for fleet accounts.
Can I get my car tinted while shopping at Gilroy Premium Outlets?
Perfect timing! Our shop is just minutes from the outlets. Drop your car off, shop for 3-4 hours, and pick up with fresh tint. We're at 610 Holloway Rd behind Target—call ahead to schedule your appointment.
Do you service cars from Enterprise or Hertz in Gilroy?
We're located near both rental locations—Enterprise on Automall Parkway and Hertz on Cameron Boulevard. While we primarily work with vehicle owners, we can discuss options for rental upgrades with proper authorization.
I'm visiting Gilroy wineries—can I get same-day tint?
Absolutely! Many visitors to the Santa Clara Valley Wine Trail stop by for window tinting. Drop off in the morning, enjoy a day of wine tasting at Kirigin Cellars, Fortino, or Sarah's Vineyard, and pick up your tinted car in the afternoon.
