"What can I say about Jason? He is AWSOME! Since 2017, Carzwerk and Jason have been my go-to detailer. There is not one vehicle that I'm not happy with after Jason have completed his work! On our most recent project (2023 Honda Civic Type R), the paint condition was horrible!!! In the end, the paint was completely corrected and ceramic coated. I also didn't have a big budget, but Jason was ready to hear me out and come to a comfortable medium ground. I look at Jason (my auto detailer) like my hair stylist; I find the one I like, and I go back to the same person for the next 20 - 30 years :) Jason, see you on our next project for sure!!! Congrats and keep up the good work!!"

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. Many professional car window tinting services in California include certification of legal compliance.
