"Carlos was very knowledgeable and honest about what I will be paying for. I've been wanting to get tinted windows to reduce the heat coming into my car. Carlos answered all of my questions thoroughly. The work he did is impeccable. I love driving my car and the coating he recommended to reduce UV rays is definitely worth it."

"The nicest people and best place to go for window tinting! They seriously go the extra mile! I had an issue with some tinting starting to roll at the base of the window within the first 6 months after the install. When I asked about what I could do to help fix it, the owners were beyond generous and replaced the entire windshield! They did not have to do that and I never asked! They stand behind their work and products and take care of their customers. I highly, highly recommend Tint Master Visalia!"

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?
