"Mohammed did a wonderful job on my Honda Accord. I checked around and he had the best price and top notch quality work. You cannot beat that, and he's very friendly as well. The price quoted was the price paid. I checked around and the prices that I was quoted elsewhere were over 30% higher, for the same work. I would definitely definitely recommend Solax to anyone that's looking for a tint job. I couldn't be happier with the results."

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.
