"Danny and team have been great! They originally did a ceramic tint on our RV windshield and driver and passenger doors which made a huge difference in interior temperature control. Danny worked with us to determine which product would be the best for our needs. When we caught a rock and had to have the windshield replaced SD Auto Tint and Glass were able to re-tint the new windshield within 2 days. Great work and great customer service!"

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.

How much does car window tinting cost?

California car window tinting prices range from $200-$500 for full-vehicle service, reflecting the state's strict compliance requirements. Standard window tint cost for cars typically runs $200-$300, while premium ceramic or IR films cost $350-$500. Front side windows, which must meet the state's 70% VLT requirement, average $60-$90 per window. The average cost to tint car windows in major cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco tends to be 10-20% higher than in suburban areas. SUVs and larger vehicles add $50-$100 to the total. Many professional car window tinting services in California include certification of legal compliance.
