"I couldn’t be happier with the great customer service at Elite Auto Spa. Gabriel did a fantastic job at removing wet asphalt/oil from my 2024 Toyota RAV4. I agreed to the ceramic coating and PPF, and I am completely happy with the service and final product. I highly recommend Elite Auto Spa! Thank you, Gabriel!"

"Toyz Detail Studio is the best car window tinting place you can possibly go to in the Orange County area. I went in to tint 3M Color Stable for my Tesla Model 3 right after I picked up my car. I was looking for high grade films for a while and finally found them here. They were authorized for so many brands for choices including 3M, LLumar and Xpel and their prices were pretty fair even if they use better quality films."

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.
