"The nicest people and best place to go for window tinting! They seriously go the extra mile! I had an issue with some tinting starting to roll at the base of the window within the first 6 months after the install. When I asked about what I could do to help fix it, the owners were beyond generous and replaced the entire windshield! They did not have to do that and I never asked! They stand behind their work and products and take care of their customers. I highly, highly recommend Tint Master Visalia!"

"I chose 35% tint for my Chevy Bolt and the installation looks like it came from the factory, it looks that clean. Perfectly light tint too, I can see out my car just like before. But most, I love how much cooler the heat blocking tint they installed makes my car. I noticed it as soon as I got in, if you're a road warriors definitely get the heat blocking tint!"

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.
