"I took my car in to get it wrapped with paint protection film, ceramic coated and tinted the car and let me just say in all my experiences I have never met and dealt with such an amazing team. Each and everyone of them took such good care of my car , explained the process , did such an amazing job and had the best price in town. They treat you like family not a customer and they are AMAZING. I 100% recommend Alan and his team. I’m a customer for life without a doubt and would never go anywhere else …….."

"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!"

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?

Standard window tint cost for cars typically runs $200-$300, while premium ceramic or IR films cost $350-$500. Front side windows, which must meet the state's 70% VLT requirement, average $60-$90 per window. The average cost to tint car windows in major cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco tends to be 10-20% higher than in suburban areas. SUVs and larger vehicles add $50-$100 to the total.
