"My experience with Modern Image exceeded all expectations. I entrusted them with my vehicle for a stealth PPF wrap, crystalline tinting, and ceramic coating, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results."

"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."

"Marcus did an amazing job. He is so professional, friendly and communicative, and my car looks unbelievable. He managed to get several years worth of dog and baby grime out of the back seat - I wish I had taken before and after photos. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of service you get. Will definitely be back again."

"Donny George: Haus of Wraps Review: Exceptional Service for Tesla Paint Protection and Tinting I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my 2024 Tesla Performance to Haus of Wraps for both paint protection film installation and window tinting, and I couldn't be more impressed with the results. The team at Haus of Wraps demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise right from the initial consultation. They took the time to thoroughly explain the process of applying the paint protection film, ensuring that my Tesla's front end would be safeguarded against chips and scratches without compromising its sleek aesthetic. The attention to detail was evident throughout the installation, with flawless application that seamlessly blended with the car's factory finish. Moreover, Haus of Wraps' tinting services exceeded my expectations. The tint was applied evenly and precisely, enhancing privacy without obstructing visibility. They offered a range of tint options, and their recommendation perfectly complemented the color and style of my Tesla. Beyond their technical proficiency, Haus of Wraps provided excellent customer service. They were responsive to my questions and concerns, and they completed the work within the agreed-upon timeframe. Overall, I highly recommend Haus of Wraps for anyone looking to protect and enhance their vehicle. Their commitment to quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction sets them apart, making them a top choice for automotive customization services."

Professional Work (8) Great Service (7) Honest and Transparent (5)

"Mike totally saved the day. My car broke down and was stuck in neutral in West Covina, which is an unfamiliar area to me. I called AAA and needed to get my car towed to a shop within 5 miles. I was lucky to find Mao's Garage open at 6pm on a Saturday. I called ahead and Mike told me, even though he specializes in foreign vehicles, he'd take a look at my Saturn, with a potentially ruined Transmission. I leave the car over the weekend, worried that the repair will cost more than the car is worth, but the next business day Mike sends me a text detailing how he saved my car! Rather than a broken transmission, it was the shift linkage that had a piece break off, and instead of having to order a part, Mike created a custom bracket that was the perfect fit to get my car shifting into gear again. He even adjusted my handbrake and re attached a door panel for me before I took the car. Mike seems like a super nice and honest guy that goes above and beyond for his customers! Would recommend this shop to anyone seeking detailed care for their vehicle"

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.
