Midland, Texas

Twenty minutes west, and worth the drive.

Texas Hydro DNT is a tint, ceramic and detail shop in Odessa: one bay, one standard, and a steady share of Midland vehicles in it. For commercial and fleet accounts we come the other way instead.

Shop work

You come to us.

Tint, ceramic coating, paint correction, metal polishing and windshield replacement are all shop work, and they are shop work for a reason. Film has to be cut and laid in controlled conditions and then left to cure. A coating needs the paint corrected first and needs hours to bond. Glass needs the adhesive to set before the vehicle is safe to drive.

None of that happens in a driveway, and any shop telling you otherwise is cutting the part you cannot see. So Midland customers drop off, and most full day jobs go in first thing.

Mobile work

We come to you.

Concierge mobile service runs to Midland yards for commercial and fleet accounts: exterior wash, interior clean out, and a walk around before inspection on a schedule that fits your routes. Semi tractors and trailers welcome.

Commercial and residential flat glass is the other one that travels: storefronts, offices and homes get measured and filmed on site.

Why the drive

The Permian is hard on vehicles.

Sun and dust, all year

Midland and Odessa share the same climate and the same problem: UV that fades paint and cracks dashboards, caliche dust that is abrasive enough to scratch clear coat every time somebody wipes a panel dry, and hard water that etches if it sits on hot paint. Tint, coatings and interior protectants are not cosmetics here. They are what keeps a vehicle from ageing at double speed.

Work trucks get the same standard

A lot of what comes over from Midland is not a show car. It is a crew cab that has been earning across the Basin, and the standard does not change for it: same decontamination, same stages, same honest read on what will and will not come back. Fleets get the recurring version of that at their own yard.

Midland questions

Straight answers.

Do you have a shop in Midland?

No, and we would rather say so than let you find out in a parking lot. The bay is in Odessa, about twenty minutes west on I-20, and a good share of the vehicles in it on any given day drove over from Midland. What does come to Midland is the mobile rig, for fleet and commercial accounts.

Do you do mobile service in Midland?

For commercial and fleet accounts, yes: exterior wash, interior clean out and a walk around before inspection, at your yard, on a schedule that fits your routes. Tint, ceramic coating, correction and glass are shop work: they need controlled conditions and cure time, so those come to the bay.

Is it worth driving from Midland for tint?

That is your call, but here is the honest version of the trade: we are an Autobahn authorized dealer, so you are picking from the films actually in the building rather than off a catalogue, and the entry level auto film carries a lifetime warranty. If the shop down the road from you offers the same film at the same tier, the drive is not worth it. Most of the time that is not the conversation people are having when they call.

Can you do commercial or residential glass in Midland?

Yes: storefronts, offices and homes. Flat glass is measured and filmed on site, so Midland is no different from Odessa for that work. Call (432) 250-7554 with the number of windows and the exposure and we'll quote it.

How do I plan the drive over?

Mon to Fri 8am to 6pm, Sat 9am to 6pm, Sun closed. Call ahead and we'll book a slot rather than have you sit; the whole point of scheduling is that each vehicle gets the bay time it needs. For a full day's work most Midland customers drop off in the morning.

Book from Midland.

Call and describe the vehicle. We'll tell you what it needs, what it doesn't, and whether it's a drop off or a wait, before you make the drive.
