Details In Motion

In the Virginia heat and strong sunshine nothing beats quality heat and light diminishing film on vehicle windows installed professionally. At this shop you can count on film being installed properly from a truck, Suv, sports or luxury car its in good hands and after experiencing the results you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. I’ve taken like 5 cars here over the years and the service has always been top notch! My wife and son now hates to even ride in a car without film installed at Details in Motion. I’ve never had a problem after installation but if there ever was I know I could go back and Dave would fix it.

I took my daughters X3 for a tint job. When I went to pick up the vehicle David was not finished and he said he did not like the rear window. I couldnt see anything wrong with it, but who am I to argue. Bottom line is after curing (1 week) I inspected all the windows and I could not find a single dust speck. !!!
Truly a flawless job. David is a perfectionist !

Had my VW R32 tinted by DiM and it looks fantastic. The owner takes pride in his work and it shows. They use Formula1 tint which has a lifetime warranty.

My car has a ton of glass that in the summer makes for a really hot greenhouse when I get into it after it’s been sitting in a parking lot all afternoon. Window tinting to the rescue. I stopped into the shop and David was working on tinting a truck. He asked me questions about my car, what I wanted to achieve — control the heat from the sun, glare protection, a bit of privacy and style. He also went over the state car window tint laws. I made an appointment for the following weekend.
In the end, I went with ceramic tint — 50% front windows, 35% rears and a tint strip on the upper windshield. After driving the car for a week and keeping the windows up (needed for the tint to set) I can say the interior of my car is much cooler when I get into it after it’s been sitting in a parking lot on a sunny day. Paired up with a quality windshield sunshade, I no longer enter a sauna when I get into my car. Yeah, it’s still warm but not oppressively hot. The window tinting also has another positive effect — the AC cooling system doesn’t have to work so hard to cool the interior and when it gets to the desired temp, quickly I might add, I notch down the fan and temp dials and still remain comfortable. Can’t say that sans window tinting.
The car is cooler now, both literally and figuratively, and I’m happy with the results. Dave’s install was flawless and even then the tinting is warrantied for life. Highly recommended for both product and service.

Google lists Details in Motion at two separate addresses: 625 West Main Street, Charlottesville, VA 22 903 is the actual location of the business. Both listings have the same phone number, which is correct.
DM is a one-​man company located behind the Blue Bird restaurant on Main Street. It’s basically a small garage in a parking lot, but don’t let that fool you. The owner, David, is as professional as they come and does flawless work.
I had my car, a Honda Civic hatchback tinted here way back in mid (or late) 2002. I sold the car in December of 2008 and the tint still looked like new when I sold it. Even after six years there was absolutely no fading/​discoloration or peeling or bubbling on any of the windows.
Most tint jobs leave from a quarter inch to a full inch of un-​tinted glass around the edges of the windows. Mine had a couple millimeters at most.
Details in Motion, David, does the best window tinting I’ve ever seen. I live in northern Virginia now, but fully intend to drive back down to Charlottesville for a reliable tint job.
