"Dmitriy Romanenko: I took my Tesla Model Y Performance to City Auto Spa for front window tinting and was thoroughly impressed. I chose a 35% ceramic tint and Irving handled the job. His work on the alignment, cutting, and application was impeccable. The entire job took just 2 hours and the results were flawless."

"My long time detail man moved, but he recommended La Jolla Mobile Ca Detail. Easy appointment set up. The guys were right on time and did a great job. Being a show car, it does not require the frequency of detail every day use entails, but La Jolla Mobile Car Detail is my new go to detail company."

"I highly recommend Auto Factor! Hani and his team are amazing and treat you like family the second you walk in! Hani will educate you on the products they use and on what they recommend as well. I've had to contact Hani after business hours a few times and he gets back to me right away. If I have an issue and need to bring my car in to get it checked out, he makes time and takes care of my car right away as well. I will definitely be a returning customer."

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.
