Car Window Tint Removal Services

Professional window tint removal is a service that restores your windows to their original appearance after they have been dimmed with tinted window film. 

This tint film cannot simply be torn off. It takes technology and good adhesive removers to get the film off without leaving a smeared mess on the window. Our experts use the latest tools to leave your windows clean and clear of adhesive residue.

When you need vehicle window tint removal, you often need it fast. BC has strict laws against some types of window tint, including the front driver and passenger windows. Failing to update your vehicle upon moving to, or travelling within, the province can result in stiff fines and inspection issues.

Avoid these problems by scheduling an appointment to have our expert staff remove your window tint today. Here are just a few ways we can help:

Why Choose Van Isle Glass?

Get Ready for Inspection or Sale

The process for registering your vehicle in BC might not explicitly require you to remove all tint, but the vehicle must comply with legal tint regulations. Our team understands the law when it comes to tint, and we can help you make sure your windows are wholly compliant. 

Get Same-Day Appointments When Available

If you’re on a deadline or just enjoy the convenience, a same-day appointment is often possible. If you need to update your vehicle glass call us to see if we can fit you in today.

Remove Window Tint in as Little As One Hour

The time requirement for tint removal may be as little as one hour. Service times may vary depending on your vehicle and the number of windows that need tint removed.

Get the Job Done with Glass Services

New glass may be necessary to restore your windows to legal condition after tint removal. While this is rare, our shop can save you time by installing any new glass you may need.

Victoria Window Tint Removal FAQs

If you have questions about how our window tinting removal services work, you can contact our team online or through the number listed at the top of the page. Find answers to some of the most common questions below:

Can you remove older window tinting?

All types of tinting, including old window tint, can be removed to restore your vehicle glass. In most cases, the vehicle glass can be fully restored.

Sometimes, replacing the back window is preferable to removing the tinting because of potential damage to the defroster lines. Many shops will not provide tint removal for back windows due to this potential for damage. Fortunately, we are a glass shop in addition to a tint removal shop, and we may have the glass you need nearby.

Can a car window tint be undone?

Window tinting can be undone in most cases without replacing the window. Very rare exceptions apply, but our team is highly experienced and can develop convenient solutions for most unexpected problems.

Is car tint easily removable?

Car tint can be incredibly difficult to remove without the right tools and skills. Using DIY tools like razor blades, hair dryers, and steamers incorrectly can do permanent damage. 

Even if the glass itself isn’t scratched or warped by DIY methods, most home cleaners are not capable of cleaning up the remaining adhesive. If the film isn’t removed correctly, it can leave ugly streaks and make the window unsafe to use. The adhesive may also fall into the door glass mechanism.  

If it’s unsafe, it may also be illegal to drive on the street.

What are the cost factors of having car tint removed?

While extra costs may apply in some cases (such as if your back window needs replacement), the rate for tint removal is typically flat. Please call our location if you have questions about how much your window tint removal will cost.

How long does it take to have window tint removed?

The time an appointment takes may depend on many factors, including what kind of tint you have applied to your window, and how many windows are being serviced. 

To give you an example, the time required to remove aftermarket tint from the front two windows is about an hour. Service appointments that involve four or more windows may take more time to complete.

Is it easier to sell a car without window tint?

Many car buyers do not want car tint installed because they don’t want the headache of complying with BC laws, and they don’t want to take on the costs of having the tint removed. You may be able to sell a vehicle more easily after you have had the tint removed.

I had my windshield chip repaired here today and it was such a great experience! Every person I interacted with was lovely. Super friendly and helpful! Plus, I noticed they had a deal on windshield wipers and got a new pair for only $22. And they installed them for me! Great business and wonderful people.

Broke my back window last night on my 2020 Subaru Forester. Came to Van Isle first thing this morning (0745) and they were able to order the glass and replace my window by noon today!While some of this was luck in being able to get the part quickly, I am very impressed by the professionalism and speed.No issues with my insurance billing, and they took my deductible without issue.

We just had the great experience of working with this shop. We are mid roadtrip, and our mirror fell off of the windshield. They helped out and got us back on the road right away. We even got some food recommendations from the technician. Very good experience, Thanks!

Great price, quick, easy, lovely service! After being deeply disappointed at a different shop, gave Van Isle a call where they answered all of my questions and booked me in next day for a chip repair. Brought it in, went for a walk in the park, came back and it was done. The people were super friendly and HONEST so thank you, have been and will be recommending!
