"This place is as '5 stars' as 5 stars gets. I had a window smashed last night and needed a fast replacement. I was lucky to find this shop. GREAT customer service, replaced in an hour and just about $400 less than Safelite. If you need an auto glass replacement, don't talk to anyone else."

Ask for Ledon, he was incredibly helpful and patient, guiding me through the process and addressing all my questions. His down-to-earth demeanor and attention to detail were truly commendable."

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.
