Window Tint in Brick, NJ
Window tint in Brick is a scheduled visit. We fit ceramic film where the car is kept, at the house or the work lot. Our base is on Route 9 in Manalapan, 21.6 miles and about 40 minutes away. Tell us if the car is on the mainland or at one of the three beach sections.

The tint job in Brick
Brick has two kinds of sun. Most cars live on the mainland, in Herbertsville, Breton Woods, Laurelton, Cedar Bridge and Osbornville. Those streets grew fast after the Garden State Parkway opened through Brick in 1954. Lake Riviera and Baywood came from the same boom. Many of those homes have open driveways with little shade. A car parked there takes the full July sun from mid-morning on.
Brick Ocean Beaches I, II and III are the other kind. They sit on the Barnegat Peninsula, and they are not connected to the mainland part of town. Cars there park near sand and water. Light comes off both and adds to the sun from above. The dash top, the door cards and the rear shelf fade first. Film slows that down. It does not undo fading that has already happened.
Commuting is the third part. The Parkway runs through Brick at exits 89, 90 and 91. The Brick Township Park & Ride is at exit 91. A car left there sits in an open lot for the whole workday. Route 70 is the other daily road. Where it meets Route 88 and Princeton Avenue, the old Laurelton Circle once carried 95,000 vehicles a day. Slow traffic in a hot car is when people start to notice their glass.
Brick has real winters too. The December 2010 blizzard dropped 30 inches here, the highest total in the state. A lot of film goes on in the cold months, so the car is ready for summer. Cold glue cures more slowly. A winter fit in Brick needs the full five days with the windows up.
The visit
What happens on a Brick tint visit
About 40 minutes from our Manalapan base. Distance is 21.6 miles from the Route 9 base in Manalapan.
A Brick tint visit is booked ahead. The drive is about 40 minutes each way, so we do not squeeze it between two Monmouth jobs. We work Monday to Saturday, 7am to 6pm. Send a photo of the car and the year, make and model. We quote from that before anyone commits.
The fit takes 2 to 4 hours. A coupe has about four pieces of glass. A three-row SUV has eight or more. The film is cut by computer to your model before we arrive, so no blade goes near the glass. If old film has gone purple or is peeling, add 1 to 2 hours to steam it off and clean off the glue.
We need a dry, level spot and room to open every door. A mainland driveway in Lake Riviera or Laurelton is the easy case. A house in the beach sections may have a tight pad and more wind off the water. Tell us when you book. Dust or sand caught under film shows as a speck, so we plan for the wind instead of finding it.
After we leave, keep the windows up for 3 to 5 days. Use all five in cold weather. You may see haze or small water spots behind the film in the first week. That is the glue drying, and it clears on its own.
Film
Ceramic tint from $299
Ceramic film starts at $299 for the side and rear glass. It blocks 99% of UVA and UVB. It rejects heat with ceramic particles, not metal. So phone signal, GPS, keyless entry, radio and tyre sensors keep working. The colour is not a dye, so it does not turn purple.
In Brick, most people want the shade in the back. That is where kids, dogs, beach chairs and shopping ride. New Jersey lets the rear side windows and the rear windshield go as dark as you like. The front doors stay clear. A strip at the top of the windshield is allowed above the AS-1 line, and we can cut one.
The rear window takes the most care. The defroster lines are printed on that glass. If one is cut, it cannot be fixed, and the whole window has to be replaced. That is why we heat-shrink the film to the curve and never trim it on the glass.
- Nano-ceramic film, all side and rear glass
- 99% UVA and UVB rejection
- No metal layer. No signal interference
- Will not fade to purple
New Jersey
The tint rule we fit to
New Jersey does not permit any aftermarket film on the front side windows or the windshield below the AS-1 line, but rear side windows and the rear windshield can be tinted to any darkness. That makes New Jersey unusual. A lot of the shade charts you find online are written for states with front-window allowances. We fit to the New Jersey rule and will tell you honestly what we cannot legally do.
For a Brick car, the useful darkness goes on the back half. A Park & Ride car or a beach-section car gets its shade from the rear glass. The front doors stay clear, for the law and for night driving on Route 70.

Questions
Window tint in Brick, answered
How much does window tint cost in Brick?
Ceramic tint in Brick starts at $299 for the side and rear glass. The price moves with the number of windows, the shape of the rear glass, and any old film that has to come off. Removal adds 1 to 2 hours. The 40-minute drive is why we schedule the visit. It is not an extra fee.
What tint is legal in New Jersey for a Brick car?
New Jersey does not permit any aftermarket film on the front side windows or the windshield below the AS-1 line, but rear side windows and the rear windshield can be tinted to any darkness. The rule is the same in Herbertsville and at the beach sections. Shade charts written for other states do not apply to the front doors here.
How long does a Brick tint visit take?
About 40 minutes for us to reach Brick, then 2 to 4 hours on the car. Old film adds 1 to 2 hours. A coupe is the short end and a large SUV is the long end. After that, keep the windows up for 3 to 5 days.
Can you tint a car at Brick Ocean Beaches I, II or III?
Yes. Those three sections sit on the Barnegat Peninsula and are not connected to the mainland part of Brick. The price is the same as on the mainland. Tell us the section and the parking when you book, because wind and sand change how we set up.
Will tint help a car that sits at the Brick Park & Ride all day?
Yes. The Brick Township Park & Ride at Parkway exit 91 is an open lot, so a car there sits in the sun from morning to evening. Ceramic film cuts the heat and blocks 99% of UV. The cabin is cooler when you get back, and the dash fades more slowly. It does not stop door dings or stone chips. Those are paint problems.
Which parts of Brick do you tint in?
All of Brick, in ZIPs 08723 and 08724. That includes Herbertsville, Breton Woods, Cedar Bridge, Laurelton, Osbornville, Metedeconk, Shore Acres, West Mantoloking, Cherry Quay and Mandalay Park. It also includes Lake Riviera, Baywood and the three beach sections. One price list covers all of it.
Can I get tint fitted in a Brick winter?
Yes. Many people book film in the cold months so it is ready for summer. Cold glue cures more slowly, so keep the windows up for the full 5 days. Brick took 30 inches of snow in the December 2010 blizzard. We pick a dry day for the fit and move it if a storm is coming.
Is Brick tint the same visit as a detail?
Not usually. Tint is the glass. A detail or a ceramic coating, from $600, is the paint, and salt air in Brick is why many owners want both. Coating needs 24 hours dry and 7 days unwashed. Film needs 3 to 5 days with the windows up. Call (732) 641-1934 and we will plan the order.
