"Hands Down! 5 star Review, I work in sales for Chevrolet. I know all about the customer and business relationships. I went to 4 different "Sound Shops, between Vallejo and Fairfield. All did not win my business. I'm all about Vallejo and supporting our local shops. Thank God I made this my last stop. The owner Ivor is as authentic & honest as it gets. As well as his main employee Johnothan. I got approved for 1600$ and plan on spending every dime thru time with these guys! To the point, need Beat? Alarm systems? Or just some knowledgeable help. Come see my new go to spot. These guys are about you the "customer " more than the $!! Enough said! Sincerely, A Proud Vallejo Local"

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.
