Concerned About Break-Ins?
Prevent Smash & Grab Theft
Privacy tint hides valuables. Security film holds glass together. Make your car a harder target.
The Risk
Why Cars Get Broken Into
Visible Valuables
Laptops, bags, and packages visible through clear windows invite break-ins.
Easy Target
Standard car windows shatter easily. Thieves can grab and go in under 10 seconds.
Parking Lot Exposure
Cars left in public lots are prime targets. Thieves scan for easy opportunities.
Expensive Claims
Beyond stolen items, you face deductibles, rate increases, and window replacement costs.
How It Works
Multi-Layer Protection
Concealment
Privacy tint prevents thieves from seeing valuables. No visible target = no smash-and-grab.
Deterrence
Professional tint signals you care about your car. Thieves prefer easy, careless targets.
Delay
Security film holds shattered glass together. Multiple hits needed to create entry. Most thieves give up.
Protection
Even if they break through, film contains glass—protecting you from sharp fragments.

Security FAQ
Common Questions
Does window tint really prevent car break-ins?
Window tint significantly reduces break-in risk by concealing valuables. Smash-and-grab theft is opportunistic—thieves target cars where they can see valuables like laptops, purses, or packages. Dark rear windows (20-35%) make your car interior invisible from outside.
What's security window film?
Security film is a thick (4-8 mil) polyester film applied to glass. It holds the window together when struck, preventing easy entry. A thief expecting one quick hit finds they need multiple attempts—and the delay often stops them. It's used on vehicles and storefronts in high-crime areas.
Can I combine security film with regular tint?
Yes! We recommend ceramic tint plus security film for maximum protection. You get heat rejection, UV protection, privacy, AND break-in resistance. This combination is especially popular for vehicles parked in public lots, urban areas, or containing expensive equipment.
Is this the same as the film on bank windows?
Similar concept. Commercial security film used on storefronts and banks is typically thicker (8-15 mil) and attached to frames. Automotive security film is thinner (4-8 mil) but still provides significant break-in resistance. Both hold shattered glass together.
