"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!!"

"Erik Chavez: I recently got my windows tinted at ultraviolet window tinting, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. The team was super transparent about the options available, and they gave me honest advice without trying to upsell. They really listened to what I wanted and provided the best option for my car. The tinting job itself was flawless. The work was done with great attention to detail. The tint looks fantastic and very professional. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality window tinting and top-notch service. They’ve earned my trust, and I’ll definitely be back for future needs!"

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.
