About AR Brothers Tints & Wraps
AR Brothers publishes its prices, which in the tint trade is a statement in itself. The Garfield shop on Garfield Avenue lists what a job costs before a customer walks in, and the number it leads with is not the cheapest one: window tinting starts at $269 and comes with a lifetime warranty. The shop's own line about its film is blunt enough to quote: we don't use regular tint film. The film ladder is laid out honestly, and the honesty runs against the shop's own margin. Its standard dyed film is described in the shop's words as the most economical option, one that does not do much against UV or heat. Ceramic film sits above it. At the top is 3M Ceramic IR, which rejects up to sixty-six percent of total solar energy and up to ninety-five percent of infrared, and whose metal-free construction leaves GPS, satellite radio, mobile signal and 5G alone. Shades run from a barely-there seventy percent down to limousine five, and the deals board carries carbon and ceramic packages for four doors and a rear windshield. One detail in the price sheet is easy to skim past and worth pausing on: every full-vehicle package includes the sunroof. Most quotes do not. A sunroof is the one pane that takes the sun straight down at midday, when it is at its most intense and when no amount of shade from the side glass helps, and it sits directly above the occupants' heads. Leaving it out makes a quote look cheaper and the cabin feel warmer. Listing it as standard is a small thing that tells you how the rest of the sheet was written. The protection side matches. Full front paint protection film is posted with a ten to twelve year warranty, and chrome delete starts at $179. Ceramic coating, headlight tint and colored tint round out a menu built for owners who want the whole car finished in one visit rather than three. The business is wider than the website admits. AR Brothers trades as AR Brothers Design, Tint & Wraps, and its own social feed lists work the site never mentions: wall graphics, design printing, lettering and signs alongside the vehicle wraps. Commercial fleet work runs full, partial or lettering only, which means a contractor's van and the contractor's office window can be finished by the same hands. The waiting room does quiet work too. Customers mention the wrap samples kept there, which matters more than it sounds: a color reads one way under a phone screen and another way across a real panel in daylight, and the only cure is holding the sample against the car. The Garfield Avenue shop opens six days a week from ten until seven and closes Sundays, with quotes moving by text.
Reputation & Reviews Summary
AR Brothers has built a Google record that reads like a shop still hungry, and the owner's replies are half the story. Every review draws a personal answer, at length, thanking the customer by name. The work draws the vocabulary of precision. Reviewers describe tint installed flawlessly and professionally, punctual appointments, and attention to detail on cars where the margin for error is small. Google's own review topics rank fast work first, then smooth process, then Tesla, then detailed job, which is an accurate summary of what customers actually come for. The Tesla thread is worth pulling. One owner brought a brand new Model X, and the shop's reply named the reason those cars need care: sensors and details that punish a careless install. Another customer tinted an Atlas Cross Sport back in 2024 and was still a customer two years later. A third drove up from Delaware for twenty percent all round and left calling the trip worthwhile, which is a long way to travel for film. Speed recurs without the usual cost. Customers describe same-day and next-day appointments, jobs finished in a couple of hours, and being greeted and looked after while they waited. In a trade where a rushed install is how bubbles get born, the reviews are unusually consistent that the pace has not cost the finish. That combination is harder than it reads. Film is unforgiving of dust and of haste, and a shop turning cars around inside an afternoon has to be clean and rehearsed rather than merely quick. The practical notes: text for a quote rather than calling cold, ask to see the wrap samples in the waiting room before choosing a color, and take the ladder conversation seriously, because the shop will tell you honestly what its cheapest film does not do. For Bergen County drivers weighing film against price, this is a shop that puts both on the wall and lets customers decide.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does window tint cost at AR Brothers?
The shop publishes its prices. Tinting starts at $269 with a lifetime warranty, and the full-vehicle packages including side windows, front windshield, back window and sunroof are posted at $599 for standard film, $649 for ceramic and $849 for 3M Ceramic IR.
What is the difference between the film tiers?
The shop is candid about it. Standard dyed film is the economical choice and does little against UV or heat. Ceramic film uses nano-ceramic particles to cut UV, glare and heat. 3M Ceramic IR sits at the top, rejecting up to 66% of total solar energy and up to 95% of infrared, with a metal-free build that leaves GPS, satellite radio and 5G alone.
Does AR Brothers do more than cars?
Yes, though the website understates it. The shop trades as AR Brothers Design, Tint & Wraps and its social feed lists wall graphics, design printing, lettering and signs alongside vehicle work. Commercial fleet wraps are offered full, partial or lettering only.
What does AR Brothers charge for paint protection film and chrome delete?
Full front paint protection film is posted on the deals board from $1,499, carrying a ten to twelve year warranty and available for any vehicle type. Chrome delete starts at $179. Ceramic coating and headlight tint are also on the menu.
When is AR Brothers open and how do I get a quote?
The Garfield Avenue shop trades six days, from 10:00 in the morning until 7:00 at night, and stays shut on Sundays. Quotes move fastest by text, and the shop also takes bookings online. The number is (973) 609-9982.
Can I see wrap colors before I commit?
Yes, and it is worth doing. The shop keeps wrap samples in the waiting room, which customers mention in reviews. A finish photographs differently on a phone than it looks across a real panel in daylight, so holding the sample against your own car is the only reliable way to choose.
