Why 3M window tint
Cooler, clearer, protected
Infrared Heat Rejection
3M™ Ceramic IR rejects up to 90% of infrared heat — the part of sunlight you actually feel — so the cabin stays cooler and your A/C works less.
Up to 99% UV Protection
Our premium ceramic and carbon films block up to 99% of damaging UVA and UVB rays, protecting leather, vinyl, dashboards, and upholstery from fading and cracking.
No Signal Interference
Non-metallized ceramic construction won't interfere with GPS, Bluetooth, cell phone, or satellite radio signals — unlike older metallic films.
Reduced Glare, Safer Driving
Cutting harsh glare from low sun and oncoming headlights makes for a more comfortable, less fatiguing drive, day or night.
Safety & Privacy
The film helps hold shattered glass together on impact, and reduced visibility into your car deters break-ins by keeping valuables out of sight.
3M Tiered Packages
Choose Silver (3M Obsidian carbon), Gold (3M CS IR nano ceramic), or Platinum (3M Ceramic IR) — multiple shades, excellent visibility, manufacturer-backed limited warranty.

FAQ
Window Tinting questions
Where can I get car window tint in Murfreesboro?
At Mario's Tint Shop, 515 NW Broad St, Murfreesboro, TN 37130.

How dark can I legally tint in Tennessee?
Tennessee requires a minimum of 35% VLT on front side, rear side, and rear windows. We help you choose a legal shade that still delivers strong heat and UV protection.
How long does the tint take to cure?
Most tint fully cures within 3–5 days depending on weather. We ask you to keep windows rolled up during that time for the best result.
Will the tint turn purple over time?
No. Our premium ceramic and carbon films are dyed and constructed to never fade to purple, unlike low-cost dyed films.
Is ceramic window tint worth it over standard film?
If heat is what bothers you, yes. Standard dyed film mainly darkens the glass, while 3M™ Ceramic IR is built to reject infrared — up to 90% of it — so the cabin actually feels cooler rather than just looking darker. It also keeps GPS, Bluetooth, and cell signals clear, and carries a manufacturer's limited warranty.
Which areas do you serve?
We are based in Murfreesboro and regularly tint vehicles from Smyrna, Lebanon, Franklin, La Vergne, Brentwood, Nashville, and across Rutherford County and Middle Tennessee.
Do you offer more than window tint?
We do — paint protection film (PPF), ceramic coatings, windshield protection film, and full vehicle appearance protection. Many customers pair ceramic tint with PPF on the front end.
Which 3M films do you install?
In Murfreesboro we install 3M window tint in three films: 3M Color Stable IR, 3M Ceramic IR, and 3M Crystalline. Color Stable IR is the charcoal look and everyday value. Ceramic IR is for stronger heat comfort, with up to 95% infrared rejection within 3M’s specified measurement range and up to 99.9% UV. Crystalline uses more than 200 layers for strong heat rejection with lighter shades.
