"I cannot begin to express how happy I am with the service given by Albert over at MAB. He is extremely meticulous and makes sure your car will come out better than you ever expect. I’ve had him come a few times over the last month and all I can say is he goes above and beyond to give your car the love it needs to look showroom ready. Albert also did an amazing job ceramic coating my wheels and applying ceramic sealant on my car and it came out AMAZING! Got compliments on my car left and right from how beautiful and perfect the paint and interior looked. He also went the extra mile and drew patterns on my carpets to make it look very exotic. Hands down best mobile detailing service in the greater Los Angeles area."

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.
