The phones are a little quieter this month as it's our slow season, but every once in awhile when it rings, a popular question we're getting from our customer is: "Can you tint my windows even though it's Winter?" We get this question from our customers in Ottawa a lot throughout the Winter months. It's the middle of winter right now and the temperature is well below -15 °C on a good day. Maybe you just got some Christmas money and you can now afford window tinting or maybe you just bought a new car and are thinking about getting some privacy or protection from the sun's UV heat. Most window tinters cannot accommodate tinting windows in the Winter. Window tint film is extremely temperature sensitive, even a few degrees below room temperature makes installation more difficult and can result in a poor quality tint job. The truth is, you can definitely get your windows tinted in the Winter at Goldwing Autocare. In fact, we tint more than 5 cars a day this time a year. It's the slow season for this type of service but it's still requested and still gets done. The window tinting facilities at our shop in Ottawa have been designed with Winter in mind. We have heated, sanitary window tint installation bays to facilit [...]

Recently, we had the pleasure of protected a brand-new 2016 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS with XPEL Ultimate, bumper to bumper. That’s right, the entire car was wrapped with paint protection film at our shop in Ottawa. We were contacted by the owner of this Porsche long before he had taken delivery of it. After learning a little bit about paint protection film at the dealer, he knew he needed his car protected. Being the savvy consumer he is, he began to research into the service and found that XPEL Ultimate was the best paint protection film product to protect his Porsche. Through research, the client found that XPEL Ultimate:

• Has the longest warranty in the paint protection film industry at 10 years against yellowing, cracking, peeling, staining, and hazing.
• Has self-healing technology, allowing swirl marks, scratches, and small stone-chips to rejuvenate and disappear.
