"Sergio did a wonderful job on the tinting of my Honda Odyssey & he did so with a smile on his face in the blazing heat!!! My tint had some slight bubbling, but Sergio was quick to make it right. Once again with a happy pleasant attitude. He made sure I was happy with the work before he handed me my keys. Thank you so much Sergio!! I am truly appreciative & will be supporting this business again in the near future. Thank you!"

"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.
