Purple, bubbling or illegal tint? Massachusetts Mobile Detailing offers fast, same-day window tint removal at your home or office, or in-shop at our Quincy tint shop. We steam the old film off, remove every trace of adhesive and protect your rear defroster, so your glass comes out clean and clear. Need it legal for inspection or want new tint? We can remove and re-tint in the same visit.

Real tint removal by our team in a customer’s driveway.
Massachusetts law requires front side, rear side and rear windows to let at least 35% of visible light through, and only the top 6 inches of the windshield (above the AS-1 line) can be tinted. Tint that is too dark will fail your annual state inspection. We can remove illegal tint fast, often the same day, so you can get back to the inspection station. If you still want privacy and heat rejection, we can install a legal 35% ceramic tint in the same appointment. See our guide to Massachusetts window tint law, or check your own windows with the tint law calculator.
The rear window is where most do-it-yourself tint removal goes wrong. Scraping or pulling too fast can break the thin defroster lines, which are expensive to repair. We use steam and slow, even peeling, and we dissolve leftover adhesive instead of scraping it. Learn more in our rear window tint removal guide.
Mobile window tint removal: we come to your driveway, office or apartment lot across the South Shore, Greater Boston, Cape Cod, South Coast, MetroWest and beyond.
In-shop tint removal: visit our Quincy window tint shop at 19 Independence Avenue, Quincy, MA 02169, a good choice in bad weather or when you are removing and re-tinting the whole vehicle.
Most customers replace failed film right away. After removal we can install ceramic window tint for maximum heat and UV rejection, carbon film for a clean factory look, or a legal windshield sun strip. While your car is here, ask about ceramic coating or a premium detail.
Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, RVs, boats, fleet and work vehicles, plus residential and commercial windows.
“Amazing at what he does. He has done 3 of my cars, top notch service and quality. My Mercedes had illegal tint for years, he got it off and made it legal. It wasn't easy but he pulled it off.”

Often, yes. Same-day and next-day tint removal appointments are frequently available, both mobile and at our Quincy tint shop. Call or text (617) 758-8148 with your vehicle and which windows need removal, and we will confirm the earliest opening.
Most cars take about one to three hours. Old, sun-baked film that breaks into small pieces and the rear window take the longest, because we remove all of the adhesive and work carefully around the defroster lines.
Not when it is done correctly. We use steam and controlled heat to soften the film and glue, then peel it slowly and remove the adhesive without scraping across the defroster lines. Razor blades are never used on the defroster grid.

Yes. Removal and re-tint in one appointment is our most popular option. We strip the old film, clean the glass and install new ceramic or carbon window film the same day.
Cheap dyed films break down in the sun. The dye fades to purple and the adhesive fails, which causes bubbles and peeling. Once that happens the film cannot be repaired and needs to be removed and replaced.
Cost depends on the number of windows, the age of the film and whether the rear window has a defroster. Text a photo of your windows to (617) 758-8148 for a fast, free quote.
