Question 1

What are Ontario's tint laws?

Front side windows must allow 70% or more light through. Rear windows and back windshield have no restrictions. We install tint that meets Ontario regulations.

Most vehicles are completed in 2-4 hours. Larger SUVs or vehicles with complex curves may take longer.

Question 3

Question 4

What tint brand do you use?

We use Solar Gard film exclusively. Ceramic options come with lifetime warranty. Carbon and dyed films also available.

No. Proper installation does not affect your factory warranty. We integrate with your vehicle's existing systems.

Question 8

What is an immobilizer?

Accepted Answer

An immobilizer prevents your car from starting without the correct signal. It cuts power to ignition and fuel systems.

Question 9

Does it protect against relay attacks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Immobilizers add a layer of protection that relay devices cannot bypass. The car will not start even if keys are cloned.

Question 10

Do I really need a dashcam?

Accepted Answer

A dashcam is a smart investment if you want clear video evidence in case of an accident, hit-and-run, parking lot damage, or insurance disputes. Many drivers install one for peace of mind, especially in busy city traffic. It can help document exactly what happened when the other side tells a different story.

Question 11

What is the best dashcam setup for most drivers?

Accepted Answer

A front-and-rear dashcam setup gives the best balance of coverage and value. The front camera records the road ahead, while the rear camera captures what happens behind you, which is especially useful in rear-end collisions and parking incidents. Some drivers also choose 360-degree options for added protection.

Question 12

Can a dashcam be installed with hidden wiring?

Accepted Answer

Yes, professional dashcam installation can be done with clean, hidden wiring so the camera looks factory-installed. This keeps the dashboard and windshield area uncluttered and helps the setup look polished. Hidden wiring also reduces the chance of cables getting damaged over time.

Question 13

Will my dashcam keep recording when the car is parked?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if the system is set up with parking mode and the proper power source. Parking mode lets the dashcam monitor your vehicle while it is off, which is helpful for theft, vandalism, and parking lot damage. Proper setup ensures the camera doesn't drain the battery.

Question 14

Can a dashcam read license plates clearly?

Accepted Answer

A good dashcam can capture plates clearly in many situations, but image quality depends on camera resolution, lens quality, lighting, and vehicle speed. Higher-quality cameras do better at night and in fast-moving traffic. Placement and installation matter just as much as the camera itself.

Question 15

What type of memory card should I use?

Accepted Answer

Dashcams should use a high-endurance memory card designed for constant recording and rewriting. Regular SD cards can wear out faster because dashcams loop-record continuously. Using the right card helps reduce corruption and missing footage.

Question 16

Why does my dashcam keep freezing or rebooting?

Accepted Answer

This usually happens because of power issues, overheating, bad memory cards, or outdated firmware. First, check the card, power source, and heat exposure. If the problem persists, contact us for professional diagnosis.

Question 17

Is a hardwired dashcam better than a plug-in setup?

Accepted Answer

A hardwired dashcam is usually the better option if you want a cleaner look and access to parking mode. It also avoids dangling cables and provides a more permanent, professional setup. Plug-in installs are easier but look less polished and may not support all features.

Question 18

Can dashcam footage help with insurance claims?

Accepted Answer

Yes, dashcam footage can be extremely helpful when filing insurance claims after an accident, hit-and-run, or theft. It gives you time-stamped visual evidence of what happened, which can speed up the claims process and reduce disputes.

Question 19

Is dashcam installation worth paying for professionally?

Accepted Answer

Yes, professional installation gives you a cleaner look, better wire management, and a setup that works properly from day one. It reduces the chance of loose cables, bad power connections, or cameras mounted incorrectly. For drivers who want a reliable, discreet result, professional installation is worth it.
