Wailuku and Kahului

The shop is in Wailuku

Offshore works from one shop at 430 Hookahi St in Wailuku, the county seat of Maui County. Kahului is about 8 minutes away via Kaahumanu Ave or Hookahi St, and every other part of the island drives in to the same address: the south shore, Upcountry, the north shore and West Maui each have their own area page with the route and the timing.

For anyone who lives or works in Wailuku or Kahului, that makes Offshore the short trip. Drop the car off in the morning, go to work or run errands in Kahului, and pick it up with the film on.

What you can get done in a day

Window tint is the easy one. Most tint is done the same day in a few hours, in three ProLayers tiers from V6 Comfort carbon to V16 Ceramic IR MAX, with the front side windows kept at Hawaii’s legal shade. Removing old film first adds time, so say so when you book.

Paint protection film on an impact zone is done the same day, so drop off at opening; a full front takes one to two days. A full vehicle wrap is about three days. Ceramic coating depends on how much paint correction the car needs, and the shop gives you the timing with the quote.

Hours run 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, 7 to 7 on Tuesday, 7 to 5 on Wednesday and Thursday, 7 to 6 on Friday and 8 to noon on Saturday. Saturday is short, so book longer jobs on a weekday. The shop is closed on Sunday.

New cars from Kahului dealers

Most of Maui’s car dealers are in Kahului, about 8 minutes from the shop, and the first weeks of ownership are the right time for protection. PPF goes on clean paint before the first chips, tint goes on before the first summer in the sun, and a coating starts on a car that has never been through a rough wash. The new car protection package bundles tint, PPF and coating into one drop-off.

Cars shipped through Kahului Harbor

Vehicles shipped from the mainland arrive at Kahului Harbor. Many come with front tint that was legal where they came from and is too dark for Hawaii, where the front side windows must read 35% (29% passes at the meter) and the safety inspection checks it. The shop meters the front windows, replaces any film that fails and gives you the Hawaii certificate, which has to stay in the car. The Hawaii window tint law page explains the rules, and shipping a car to Maui covers the rest of the arrival.

Homes and businesses in town

Wailuku and Kahului homes, offices and storefronts are the closest site visits Offshore makes. Home window tint cuts heat, glare and fading in sun-facing rooms. Commercial window film does the same for offices and shops, and security window film holds a broken storefront pane in its frame. Every building job is measured on site and quoted in writing before any film is ordered.
