Window Tinting Preston
Window Tinting for Preston Drivers
Preston drivers come to Liquid R in Mitcham for window tinting. The workshop is about 22.9 km from Preston, roughly 35 minutes by car outside peak hour. Tint starts at $495 for genuine 3M Color Stable, with 3M Ceramic IR from $595 and Crystalline from $750, all in legal Victorian shades.
Ceramic films such as 3M Ceramic IR and Defcon CoolVue reject the infrared heat you feel through the glass, while 3M Color Stable keeps the price down. 3M films are warranted for as long as you own the car.
Prices are the same wherever you live: the quote depends on the car, not the postcode. Call 1800 985 880 or text 0483 930 888 to book.

The Drive from Preston
From Preston the workshop at 12/23A Cook Road, Mitcham is about 22.9 km away, roughly 35 minutes via Eastern Freeway outside peak hour. There is parking on site and a bay booked for your arrival. Directions and opening hours are on our contact page.
Glass Roofs and Crystal Shield
Panoramic roofs on cars like the Tesla let in heat even when the glass blocks UV. We tint the roof glass or fit Crystal Shield, a clear film from $350 that cuts heat soak and adds a strike face against falling stones.
Darker Is Not Cooler
Shade blocks the light you see, while heat arrives mostly as infrared you feel. A dark budget tint can let more heat in than a light ceramic film, so the real choice is film technology within the legal shade. Our ceramic tint guide explains why.
Legal Shades in Victoria
Under Victorian tint laws, front side windows must pass at least 35 percent of visible light. Rear side windows and the rear screen can go darker on most passenger cars. We fit the darkest legal shade by default and tell you if a combination would fail a roadworthy.
Why Customers Come to Us
Every car from Preston goes into the same indoor bays in Mitcham as every other car. One site, our own staff and no subcontractors is how the warranty stays simple. More about who we are, and if you are comparing shops, our guide to the best car tinting in Melbourne lists what to check.
3M Ceramic IR from $595
Nano ceramic particles absorb infrared, the heat you feel through the glass. More on ceramic window tinting. The cabin stays cooler at the same shade, which matters most on dark cars and long drives.

Very good service and quality. This was my first time doing ceramic coating for my new ride and the explanation during handover was great by Mark. Jacky was good too when I first deal with him and he showed me around explaining how the job will be done. Happy customer. Definitely comeback when I need their service.
JImmy Santoso
Visted Jacky and the team to get package 4 treatment for my Zeekr 7x. First time getting PPF, ceramic coating and window tinting on my car and could not be happier by the results. I highly recommend Jacky and his team.

I Had my car cut and polished by Liquid R and can’t recommend these guys highly enough! Jacky thoroughly inspected the car and explained to me what needed to happen and the job was done really well. He also went through the proper washing and maintenance process for my car. Bobby was also very helpful when I picked up the car. Thanks guys!
Arash Koopal
Just had my BMW X5 done with the Paint Protection Pack 4 at Liquid R — couldn’t be happier. The car looks incredible, the gloss and finish are better than new. The team were great to deal with, explained everything clearly and really took pride in their work. The ceramic coating, PPF, tint and interior protection were all done perfectly. Worth every dollar if you want your car protected and looking its best.

Having just bought a brand new Tesla Model 3, I booked it in with Liquid R and after discussing with Jacky elected for a Ceramic Coating and window Tint. Jacky was very helpful and obliging. He also agreed to fit some new mud flaps i ordered for the car. I took delivery of my new car and drove it straight to Liquid R. 2 days later i picked up the car and am extremely happy with the result. Bobby was very helpful too…
Richard Guthrie
Car tinted done. The Xpel XR plus film is definitely better than other films (3M or Suntek) for the heat rejection. The staffs (Jacky and Bobby) were very nice (10/10). Little hiccup but Jacky making sure everything is…
Yukyung Song
Very happy with the service provided, Jacky was very professional and knowledgeable in his field and he exceeded my expectations. Would highly recommend his services.
Ezekiel Lambert
Professional advice and reasonable price. Most important is that they work with hearts. I have my 5 years old Toyota Corolla “fixed “ by them. Now I got a brand new car. Highly recommended 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I picked up my 2nd car from Liquid-R yesterday. Another stunning work.

Jacky and his team did a fantastic job tinting my car. Jacky took the time to explain the different tint options and I’m really happy with the end result. Highly recommend!
Jimmy
Jacky and team at Liquid R were extremely knowledgable, helpful and professional. Jacky was very accomodating with my appointment and rescheduled multiple times due to delays with the arrival of my new car. The PPF, ceramic coating and tinting was done well, and the ongoing support is also great (my million questions were all answered!). Highly recommended for any level of detailing required!

No. Every price is the same wherever you live. The quote depends on the car and the work, never the postcode.
Every job is done at our Mitcham workshop. Film, coatings and tint need clean indoor bays and proper lighting, which a driveway cannot give, and that is what our results depend on.
Leave them up for two to three days so the adhesive cures. A light haze in the first week is normal.
Front side windows need at least 35 percent visible light transmission. Rear side windows and the rear screen can be darker on most passenger cars.
