"Lucia Barcelona: Where do I begin. Well let’s start with the fact that I rarely post reviews, but when I do post about something it’s because to me it was most definitely important to make sure that people know about such great business like WrapBros!! So I had purchased my dream car 3 years ago. It was a Range Rover LW base with custom matte paint which I loved. But I was blessed to be able to buy myself the newest model which I love as well but this time I got it in white and black. So I wanted to be different and customize it. So I decided to wrap it. I choose this really nice color Boisenberry black. I took it to what was supposed to be a reputable company. Well left my car there for a week for the job to be done and when I picked up my car it looked beautiful but as I looked at it up close I noticed some imperfections which I tried not to be so harsh about it. The guys there was very nice and explained that the imperfections where expected and that I would have to keep pressing on the bubbled areas so that they could stay down. I was frustrated because let me just cut to the chase it wasn’t long maybe 3 weeks when I noticed lifting on my bumper and other areas and just so many more things that I rather not mention. So I didn’t have the car wrapped for long because the quality was just not there it no longer looked like a brand new car ! So after searching again for a new place to remove the wrap , because I was definitely not gonna take it back to the same place and make That mistake again. So I was blessed and I mean blessed!!’ When I say, I found Wrap Bros because Omar was very understanding and sympathetic with my situation He inspected my vehicle pretty much told me what I already knew which was that the Wrap wasn’t done correctly and for the amount of money I spent they should have at least tried to help me out but that was not the case. But he did I left my car with him for 2 days and when I got it back .. omg I was just so happy and excited he cleaned it up for me polished it and even detailed the inside for me . But that’s not all he charged me a fair price and to put the cherry on top He applied my payment as credit so that if I decide to do a wrap on it down the line I will have that to use towards the payment ❤️honestly such An Amazing person and honest. Because I know that no one would have done that for me. So I know it’s a long review but I can’t stress enough how happy I am with my car and I know I will be returning to WrapBros to customize my car. Thank you WrapBros for your generosity, honesty and for taking such good care of your customers. I would give you 10 stars if i could !!"

"Mohammed did a wonderful job on my Honda Accord. I checked around and he had the best price and top notch quality work. You cannot beat that, and he's very friendly as well. The price quoted was the price paid. I checked around and the prices that I was quoted elsewhere were over 30% higher, for the same work. I would definitely definitely recommend Solax to anyone that's looking for a tint job. I couldn't be happier with the results."

Window Tinting Laws in California

Front Windshield:Non-reflective tint above AS-1 line
Front Side Windows:Must allow 70% of light to pass through
Back Side Windows:Must allow 35% of light to pass through
Rear Window:Must allow 35% of light to pass through
California's strict car window tinting laws require front side windows to have at least 70% VLT (Visible Light Transmission), keeping them relatively clear. Back side and rear windows can have any darkness level. Windshield tint is limited to the top 4 inches. California prohibits red, amber, and blue tinting, and reflectivity cannot exceed standard window levels. Dual side mirrors are required with tinted back windows. Professional window tinting services ensure compliance while providing heat rejection for California's sunny climate.

Please note that window tinting laws may change. Always verify current regulations with your automotive window tinting provider to ensure compliance.
