Carbon, ceramic and nano ceramic film for Jordan drivers, installed at our shop in Savage, about twenty minutes up Highway 169. Lifetime warranty on the film.
Jordan sits at the edge of where the metro stops pretending and turns into actual farm country. The vehicle mix out here skews hard toward pickups, and a lot of them are working trucks rather than commuter trucks. That changes what makes sense.
A working truck spends its day in the open. Job sites, fields, gravel, equipment lots. There’s no parking ramp and there’s no shade. It also tends to get kept for a long time and put through a lot, which means the interior takes more UV than a car that lives in a suburban garage and gets driven twenty minutes a day.
Here is the part that saves Jordan customers money. Most trucks already come with dark rear glass from the factory, and that’s smoked glass, not film. It’s dyed during manufacturing, so it looks dark and gives you privacy but it does nothing for heat and next to nothing for UV. Meanwhile the two windows you sit next to are usually completely untreated.
So the common Jordan job is just the front two in ceramic. It puts real film exactly where the sun hits you, it matches the factory look front to back, and it costs $150 instead of $400 for a full car you don’t need. We would rather sell you the right hundred and fifty dollar job than the wrong four hundred dollar one, and out here the right job is usually the smaller one.
The exemption also works in your favor if you do want the rear done. Minnesota’s statute specifically names the rear windows of a pickup truck as exempt from the 50 percent floor, so those can legally go darker. The front two can’t, on any vehicle, which is the one thing worth being clear about before anybody cuts film.
Three things film is genuinely good for, and why they matter here.
Job sites, fields and equipment lots. A working truck takes more sun and more UV than a commuter car ever will, and it usually gets kept a lot longer.
Factory smoked rear glass already covers the look. Real film on the front two costs $150 in ceramic instead of $400 for a full car you probably don’t need.
The statute names the rear windows of a pickup truck as exempt from the 50 percent floor. The front two are still held to 50 on every vehicle, no exceptions.
Same pricing for every city we serve, no travel markup. Pick the film, then how many windows.
The look, at the best price. Deep black, color stable, won’t fade purple on you. Least heat rejection of the three, so this one is about appearance and privacy.
This is where you feel the difference. Real heat rejection on a hot day, strong UV protection, and no interference with your phone or GPS. Even in a lighter shade it outperforms a cheap dark film.
The best film we carry. Highest heat rejection, best UV protection, and the clearest view of the three. If you’re keeping the car a while, this is the one.
Full car pricing already includes the front two, it isn’t an add on.
The windshield is priced separately from the full car. Removal is $25 per window, $50 for the rear glass or windshield. Single window? Call or text for a price.

We are at 5505 W 123rd St, STE 296 in Savage. From Jordan it is about twenty minutes straight up Highway 169 and then across, and it’s an easy drive with no real traffic outside rush hour.
Tint is drop off only, indoors at the shop. Front two windows take about an hour and a half to two hours, which for a lot of Jordan customers is short enough to just wait it out in Savage rather than drive back twice. A full car is about four hours, and that one is worth dropping and coming back for.
Since you’re driving in anyway, it’s worth asking what else the truck needs. Ceramic coating is also a drop off, so tint and coating on one trip is one drive instead of two. Detailing is mobile and comes out to Jordan, so that one doesn’t require the trip at all.
We also do fleet and work vehicle jobs. If you have more than one truck, say so when you ask for a quote and we’ll work out timing that doesn’t put every vehicle you own in the shop on the same day.
Minnesota Statute 169.71 sets the floor at 50 percent VLT on side and rear windows, with a three percent tolerance. VLT is how much light gets through, so a lower number means darker film. Separately, film can’t be more than 20 percent reflective, and mirrored or chrome looking film isn’t allowed on any window.
The statute exempts the rear windows of a pickup truck, and on a van the rear windows plus the side windows behind the driver. Those can go darker. The front two are held to 50 percent on every vehicle, with no exception. Sport utility vehicles aren’t named in that exemption, so where yours falls depends on how it’s classified.
Jordan is in Scott County, and because the statute is statewide the limits don’t change out here. It’s worth knowing where the limits sit before you pick a shade rather than after. There’s a full breakdown, including the exemptions and how VLT is measured, on our Minnesota window tint laws page.
Detailing comes to you in Jordan. Tint and ceramic coating are drop off at the Savage shop.
If yours isn’t here, call or text and ask.
Tell us the car and how many windows. We’ll come back with a price, usually the same day.
Twenty minutes up 169. Most trucks only need the front two, and we’ll tell you if that’s you.
We also tint in Shakopee and Prior Lake, and the rest of the South Metro out of the same shop. If the car needs more than glass, our Jordan detailing page covers what we bring to you.
