“Great place for window tinting, car audio, and radar detector installation. I initially went to get a radar detector installed and discovered that they are car audio installers that carry some of my favorite brands. The radar detector install was done very nicely and looks like it came this way from the factory. I subsequently have ordered a major car audio upgrade and look forward to getting that installed shortly. Very knowledgeable and experienced folks. Don't hesitate!”

AMP Research Power Step Installation in Austin, TX

AMP Research Power Step Installation from Sunshades Tint & Sound is a professional, in-shop install in Austin, TX, focused on a clean, factory-finish result. AMP Research PowerSteps extend automatically when doors open, giving trucks and SUVs easier entry without a running board hanging below the vehicle. We serve Austin and the greater Central Texas area with same-day scheduling in most cases.

Frequently asked questions

Will power steps affect my ground clearance or approach angle?

No — PowerSteps retract up and out of the way when doors are closed, so your ground clearance and approach angle are unaffected off-road or on.

Do power steps work with aftermarket lift kits?

In many cases yes, though fitment can vary with lift height — we'll check compatibility with your specific truck and lift before installing.

How long does installation take?

Most PowerStep installations are completed same-day; we'll confirm an exact time when you book based on your vehicle.

What's the difference between power steps and regular running boards?

Power steps are motorized and retract up under the vehicle when the doors close, so they stay out of the way for ground clearance and a clean look. Regular running boards are fixed in place and always visible — simpler and motor-free, but they hang below the rocker at all times. We install both and can help you pick based on your truck, lift and budget.

Do you install fixed running boards and nerf bars too?

Yes. Alongside AMP Research power steps, we install traditional fixed running boards and nerf-bar style steps in Austin for owners who prefer a classic, non-powered setup with no motor or wiring to maintain.

Can you add a BedStep or tailgate step for bed access?

Yes. We install AMP Research BedStep and BedStep2 retractable tailgate steps that make reaching into and loading the truck bed easier. They deploy only when needed and can be installed alongside power steps or on their own.
