What are the benefits of getting my windows tinted?
Having tinted windows offers many more benefits than just looking custom. The darker tint offers a more private ride, helps prevent your seats and dash from fading due to harsh UV light, and adds protection from opportunistic thieves. It also helps prevent glare from the sun, blinding headlights at night, and acts as your sunscreen with an equivalent SPF of 285. Window tint is able to block up to 70% of solar heat, keeping your ride cooler and lessening the need for air conditioning, leading to less fuel burned.

Does Sound Sensations install window tint? And what are the laws regarding tinted windows?
Yes we do! Our qualified and licensed team has been installing tint for decades and always gets the job done right. The darkness of tint is measured by Visible Light Transmission percentage [VLT%]. In Georgia, this percentage refers to percentage of visible light allowed in through the combination of film and the window. The laws vary depending on the type of your vehicle, but for passenger car window tint, 32% or more is acceptable for all windows except your front windshield.

If I add aftermarket products to my car, will my factory warranty be voided?
No, adding aftermarket products does not void your factory warranty. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty—Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act, passed in 1975, specifically protects consumers from this. “Simply using an aftermarket or recycled part does not void your warranty,” according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Can I make factory steering wheel controls work with my new aftermarket head unit?
Absolutely! We can connect your new stereo to your car’s steering wheel using specialized interfaces or adapters that help retain your factory controls. These adapters convert the signals, allowing you to keep the functionality of volume, track changes, and other controls while using your new stereo system.
