"I recently had my car windows tinted at New World Auto Sound, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! From start to finish, the service was exceptional. The gentleman who assisted me, Juan, was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. He took the time to explain the different tinting options available and helped me choose the best one for my car. His expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. The quality of the work done by New World Auto Sound is outstanding. The tint looks seamless and has significantly improved the overall appearance and comfort of my vehicle. I also appreciate the added privacy and protection from the sun's harmful UV rays. Overall, I highly recommend New World Auto Sound for anyone looking to get their car windows tinted. The combination of excellent customer service, high-quality materials, and skilled workmanship makes them the best choice in town. Thank you, Juan, and the entire team at New World Auto Sound for a job well done!"

"I cannot begin to express how happy I am with the service given by Albert over at MAB. He is extremely meticulous and makes sure your car will come out better than you ever expect. I’ve had him come a few times over the last month and all I can say is he goes above and beyond to give your car the love it needs to look showroom ready. Albert also did an amazing job ceramic coating my wheels and applying ceramic sealant on my car and it came out AMAZING! Got compliments on my car left and right from how beautiful and perfect the paint and interior looked. He also went the extra mile and drew patterns on my carpets to make it look very exotic. Hands down best mobile detailing service in the greater Los Angeles area."

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.
