Send this booking as an enquiryKilkenny is the furthest inland town we publish a page for, and the honest advice is the same as for Waterford: at ninety minutes each way, book it as a planned full-car job and take the earliest slot of the day.
Inland Kilkenny driving is long, straight and sun-in-your-eyes on the N10, M9 and R700 rather than coastal. That makes front-glass heat rejection — kept inside the Irish legal limit — do more real work than a very dark rear set would.
There is very little tinting supply in Kilkenny itself, which is why the trip east happens at all. Everything is quoted before work starts, so nobody drives ninety minutes to a surprise price.

Kilkenny City tinting questions
- Do you tint cars in Kilkenny City?
- Yes. We serve Kilkenny City from our workshop in Gorey, Co. Wexford, about 90 minutes away. You drive the car to us; there is no branch in Kilkenny City and we do not fit outdoors.
- How much does window tinting cost in Kilkenny City?
- The same fitted prices apply wherever you drive from: from €90 for a set of front windows, from €140 for a rear set and from €190 for a full car excluding the windscreen. Saloons start at €100 and SUVs or jeeps at €110, up to €240 for a full SUV. There is no travel charge and no quote-on-the-day surprise.
- Where is the nearest place to get car windows tinted to Kilkenny City?
- Our Gorey workshop, roughly 90 minutes from Kilkenny City, also used by drivers from Callan, Thomastown, Castlecomer. Because everything is fitted indoors in one dust-controlled space, the finish is consistent in a way mobile fitting cannot match.
- How long will my car be with you?
- Most cars are finished in two to three hours, so a run from Kilkenny City is a single trip. Drop it in the morning and it is normally ready the same afternoon. Leave the windows up for 3 to 5 days afterwards while the film cures.
- Is the tint legal to drive in Kilkenny?
- Yes, when the shades are kept inside Irish limits: at least 65% light transmission on the windscreen and 50% on the front side windows. Rear doors, quarter glass and the rear screen have no darkness limit, so those can go as dark as you like. We check the shade against the limits before we start, not after.
- Will tinted windows fail the NCT?
- Legal rear tint does not fail an NCT. A car fails when the windscreen or front side windows drop below the light-transmission levels above, or when damaged film obstructs vision. If a previous installer went too dark up front, we can strip it and refit a legal film.
- Does the tint block UV and reduce heat?
- Quality automotive film blocks effectively all UVA and UVB, which is what fades dashboards and bleaches rear seats. Heat is different: dyed film mainly cuts glare, while ceramic film rejects a large share of infrared. We will tell you plainly which one your budget buys.
- Can you remove old or purple tint before fitting new film?
- Yes. Old film is steamed and peeled, the adhesive cleaned off the glass, and the car re-tinted properly. Tint removal is charged at €200 because it is slow work, and rear screens are done carefully to protect the demister lines.
- Do you tint vans and jeeps for Kilkenny City businesses?
- Yes. Rear and load-area glass on vans, jeeps and crew cabs can be blacked out completely for load security, with the cab glass kept inside the legal limits. Commercial vehicles are priced on the SUV / jeep scale.
- What is covered by the warranty?
- A Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty on the film — covering bubbling, peeling, cracking and colour change (purpling) — plus our own Lifetime Installation Guarantee on the fitting. Damage caused by ammonia-based cleaners or blades on the inside of the glass is not covered.
