If you’ve had your vehicle for quite some time or have just purchased it from one of the local dealerships and want to upgrade its look, consider getting a car tint. Edmonton car owners get their vehicles’ windows tinted for the following benefits:

• Blocks out harmful UV rays - UV rays cause sun damage that even sunscreen will have a difficult time fighting. Moreover, your upholstery can fade quicker with long-term exposure to sunlight.

• Keeps the interior cooler - The tint blocks out most of the sunlight, which controls your car’s cabin temperature and reduces the need for air conditioning. As a result, you’ll minimize wear and tear on your car’s AC system, reduce fuel consumption, and control your carbon footprint.

• Provides privacy - Auto tint can go a long way in providing you added peace of mind. It will prevent other people from looking into your car, and deter potential thieves from looking for valuables inside.

• Prevents glass from shattering - Should you ever be involved in a car accident, the window film will hold the smaller pieces of glass together and potentially reduce glass shattering, which can also help to control the risk of injuries.

• Improves visual appearance - Applying tint can instantly transform an ordinary-looking car into a sleek and polished ride. The improved aesthetics can even increase your car’s resale or trade-in value.

You may think that tinting your car windows would be a simple at-home project, but nothing could be further from the truth. There are plenty of DIY tinting kits available, but these have not been regulated and you can’t be sure of their quality.   

It also takes a lot of skill, patience, and time to create a polished and professional-looking tint finish. Careful precision and proper adhesion should be observed in order to make the tint last. The process also needs to be done in the right environment with the proper temperature and humidity levels.

There are many things that can go wrong if you attempt to apply your own tint. The removal is even trickier than the application process because of the adhesive’s sticky residue, so starting from scratch after a mistake can quickly turn into a major headache.

Taking matters into your own hands may lead to bubbling, peeling, or warping. So if you don’t want to waste your time, energy, and money, get your vehicle tinting done by a professional. Method Mobile is well-experienced in this service and will ensure quality results you’ll be proud to show off.

A dash cam is a small camera mounted on a car’s dashboard which records sounds and images when you’re driving. Some of the more advanced dash cams are equipped with features like GPS tracking and Wi-Fi connectivity. It’s one of the most popular accessories for motorists in recent years, but do you really need to own one?

The answer is yes, for safety and security purposes. There are plenty of benefits you’ll get when you invest in a dash cam for your car:

Provides evidence 

Road rage, DUI, and other risky behavior are prevalent on the road, which is why you need to protect yourself. A car dash cam will provide real-time proof in case you get involved in a car accident or become a witness to one, and you’ll need to present proof to the police or insurance company. 

Eases your worry

If you have a teenager who likes to drive your car around, a dash cam allows you to closely monitor your child’s driving practices and activities. It also shows you the places they visit and the company they keep. If you’re the type to lend your vehicle to family and friends, this is a great way to keep track of one of your most valuable assets. You’ll also get to see how your car is being serviced after dropping it off at your local mechanic.

Prevents insurance fraud

Having a car dash cam installed in your vehicle is a preventative measure that protects you against insurance fraud. There have been many instances where drivers intentionally cause accidents to extort money, put the blame on the other party, or file a false claim on their insurance company. Recorded evidence helps to capture the true nature of events.

Records memories

A dash cam is the perfect accessory to take on road trips with your loved ones. You can send a recording of the trip and play it from your phone whenever nostalgia kicks in.

Promotes safe driving

Knowing that every action you take is being recorded, you’ll be more cautious and careful behind the wheel. This tool also allows you to sit down and watch how you drive, so you can assess your current driving skills to determine whether there’s any room for improvement.

We had a client come in with his daily driven 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor. The body was in good shape and he was inquiring on wrapping the truck in a matte black film.  But we had something in the shop that not only would protect his paint but turn it into a matte black using the existing finish.  This product we use is a very unique product as it is a paint protection film that will give you a matte look! Best of both worlds here.  

The product we used is Xpel stealth. As you will see its transforming the glossy black in to a matte finish! The other wonderful properties of this film versus traditional wrap is the fact this film is self healing, scratch resistant, will not yellow or fade. Furthermore washing it is a breeze! Bugs and road debris just wont stick. 

When the vehicle comes into our shop we have a lot of prep work ahead of ourselves. All vehicle will get power and hand washed then we will clay bar and use a very specific wax that works with The Xpel Film products. As you can see in the gallery below the film does not just install its self! and being tat this is a full hood we have to remove any hood scoops or anything that will get into our way so you won't see a line when the product is finally installed. 

Now would you just look at that!

With the job fully complete you can now see what this product can do for you and your vehicle. Xpel Stealth gives you the unique look without having to repaint your vehicle or use a traditional wrap that provides no protection from rocks or debris on Edmonton roads!
