Bohemia sits inland between Veterans Memorial Highway (Route 454) to the north and Sunrise Highway (Route 27) to the south, with Lakeland Avenue and Locust Avenue carrying the local traffic between them. With no coastline, the sun is the main thing working on a car here, along with pollen and sap from the mature trees on the residential streets.
Those same trees are one reason tint is a shop job. Pollen, sap, and road film have to be removed from the glass before film touches it, and an outdoor install in Bohemia would let fresh debris settle into the adhesive. Our mobile team does detail cars in Bohemia, but window tinting is done only at 170 Garfield Ave in Islip Terrace.
Shop only installation at 170 Garfield Ave, Islip Terrace, about 12 to 15 minutes from Bohemia
Film chosen for heat and UV rejection on cars left in open airport parking or driveways for days
Tree sap and pollen fully removed from the glass before any film is applied
Front glass metered against the New York 70 percent limit, factory tint included, before a quote is given
Long Island MacArthur Airport is a few minutes away in neighboring Ronkonkoma, and many Bohemia residents leave a car in airport parking for days at a stretch. A car parked in an open lot for a week with its windows closed turns into an oven, and the dashboard and upper seat surfaces take the worst of it with nothing moving air through the cabin. Film cuts the heat and UV reaching those surfaces, so a week of parking does less damage to the interior.
Bohemia's residential streets off Locust Avenue and Church Street have mature trees, and cars parked under them collect sap and pollen directly on the glass. Sap that has hardened on a windshield will lift a film edge or leave a speck if it is not cleaned off first, so we decontaminate the glass fully in the bay before installing. A Bohemia car often needs more glass prep than one from a treeless block.
New York requires 70 percent visible light transmission or better on front side windows, counting the factory tint already in the glass. Plenty of crossovers and SUVs leave the factory with privacy glass behind the front doors, and adding film up front without measuring can drop the front windows under the legal line. We meter every window before we quote a film.
Our shop at 170 Garfield Ave in Islip Terrace is about 7 miles from central Bohemia, roughly 12 to 15 minutes by Sunrise Highway or up through Veterans Memorial Highway. That is among the shortest trips of any town we serve, so a Bohemia customer can often drop the car in the morning and have it back the same day. Because the trip is so short, there is no reason to settle for an install done anywhere but the bay.
Bohemia and the Sunrise Highway and Lakeland Avenue corridors have shops that apply film, and a few mobile operators who will tint in a parking space. We do not install outside the shop. Keeping the glass and air clean while the adhesive cures is what lets a Bohemia install stay clear and flat as it ages.
Bohemia vehicles also qualify for our mobile car detailing, which we bring to your driveway. For the tint itself, ask about our legal window tint or ceramic window tint packages.

Film needs spotless glass and dust free air while it sets, and a driveway under Bohemia's trees cannot offer that. Tinting is done only in our Islip Terrace bay, though our mobile team can still come for a wash or detail.
Front side windows must let at least 70 percent of visible light through, and the reading includes any tint already in the glass. We measure first so the finished front windows stay legal.
Yes. A closed car in an open lot gets very hot, and film reduces how much heat and UV reaches the dashboard and seats. It will not stop the heat entirely, but it lowers the strain on the interior.
About 7 miles and 12 to 15 minutes by Sunrise Highway or Veterans Memorial Highway, one of the shortest drives of any town we serve.
