"I highly recommend Auto Factor! Hani and his team are amazing and treat you like family the second you walk in! Hani will educate you on the products they use and on what they recommend as well. I've had to contact Hani after business hours a few times and he gets back to me right away. If I have an issue and need to bring my car in to get it checked out, he makes time and takes care of my car right away as well. I will definitely be a returning customer."

"This guy really knows his stuff and puts in All the time and care in the world to take care of the car, the integrity that he has is the reason why I’m gonna keep on coming back to this place for every single car in my family. The windows look great and I see no type of bubbling or creasing that’s happening in there and the comfort knowing that I can come back to him if something does come up makes every penny worth it and it’s not even a lot of pennies!!"

"Amazing Experience with Evo Autoworks! I recently had my Tesla Model 3 wrapped at Evo Autoworks in Northridge, CA, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Kevin, the owner-operator, did an absolutely incredible job. From the moment I walked in, Kevin's professionalism and attention to detail stood out. He walked me through the entire process, helped me choose the perfect wrap, and delivered exactly what I wanted."

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?
