VERIFIED REVIEWS

I had a top rate experience at this business. Legal limit tint all around and they did a beautiful job - I feel like I have a new car! The prices are very reasonable, and the owner, Derek, was great to work with. I got scheduled quickly and they got the job done quickly. I couldn't be happier and will be back.

THE BEST TINTING COMPANY EVERRR. I used to go to lifestyle tint and was not impressed by their work. I came to black diamond for the first time ever today, and the AMOUNT of kindness I was shown, by the owner, and the workers, is unmatched!!!!! Absolutely the best owner, Derek, hands down. This team is super knowledgeable about their tint brands, the type of work they do. Pure intelligence here. I was allowed to go back and see how it looked on my vehicle before the finished. I would recommend this tint company over anyone. I was listened to, and helped right away, and when I called they got me in instantly. And the PRICING!? UNMATCHED. They are so so affordable. I will be telling all my friends and family about this company. THANK YOU!!!!!

Im so happy I found black diamond because im never going anywhere again. They are so professional, so welcoming , so kind. Owner Derrick and his crew just went above and beyond for me. I’ve had tint before, but black diamonds application is the best I’ve ever seen. He also uses great quality tint. Not those cheap ones. I absolutely love the tint. I’ve been telling everyone to come to black diamond.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the legal tint limit in Minnesota?

Minnesota law requires at least 50 % visible‑light transmission (VLT) on all windows of passenger cars and on the front‑door windows of SUVs and trucks. Rear windows on SUVs and trucks may be any darkness.

What does the percentage (%) number mean?

The percentage is the amount of light the film lets into the vehicle. A 50 % film allows half the light through; a 5 % “limo tint” is very dark, admitting only five percent.

What’s the difference between Standard and Ceramic films?

Standard film: Provides privacy and blocks UV rays but offers minimal heat rejection.
Ceramic film: Two options that block ~70 % or ~90 % of solar heat, helping your A/C run more efficiently while still delivering privacy and UV protection.

How much does it cost to tint my windows?

Pricing depends on your vehicle, the number of windows, and the film you choose. Call us or request a quote on our website for an exact estimate.

How long should I wait before rolling my windows down after installation?

Wait 3–5 days to let the film cure fully before lowering the windows.

Does clear window tint still block heat and UV rays?

Yes. Even our lightest shades—including virtually clear “air series” films—significantly reduce heat and block nearly 100 % of harmful UV rays.
