Batavia's east-west grid does its drivers no favors with the sun — Wilson Street and Fabyan Parkway point you straight into morning glare heading toward Kirk Road, and straight into the sunset coming home. Add the treeless expanse of the Randall Road retail corridor, where every parking stall is full-exposure, and the Windmill City makes a strong daily case for ceramic window tint. Tint starts at $155; premium ceramic film starts at $175 and is worth the difference for anyone who parks outdoors or commutes at sunrise. Ceramic rejects far more heat than dyed film, never turns purple, and plays nice with GPS and phone signals. The install takes 2 to 3 hours and comes with a lifetime warranty against fading, bubbling, and peeling — for as long as you own the car.
