"I saw Protek Shine Studio’s ad on Instagram so I contacted them. Armando and his team were very friendly and easy to get along with. Armando explained all the steps very clearly and easy to understand. He let me see examples of his work so I felt very confident it would turn out exactly as he said. I picked up my Jeep yesterday and the detail of his work was perfect. I will definitely have all my future cars protected by him. Shiny shiny!"

"Exceptional and prompt service. Informative and courteous personnel. I was referred to this shop for window tinting by a friend and I'd say, I was not disappointed nor led astray. Very friendly bilingual staff, as well as informative in helping to select correct tint percentage depending on personal need. (In my case, it was to reduce sun exposure, and keep the car cool especially while newborn is in the car.) Would definitely recommend this shop for car window tinting needs. I also noticed that they offer car wrap services in the same vicinity."

"Sosaa from SosaaTintz provides fantastic services. I did a lot of research to wrap my Cybertruck and chose Sosaa because of the trust that he was able to build during our communication. He was super responsive and offered very competitive pricing. He even offered to come to our house to show us samples, which in the end wasn’t necessary. He did everything possible to meet my timeline and worked hard to get it done in time (2.5 days). The final quality of the wrap was excellent. Really good details in the corners, and the entire truck looks flawless. He also tinted my windows and applied ceramic coating to trims. I highly recommend him because of the great quality and first class customer service."

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.
