Ask for Ledon, he was incredibly helpful and patient, guiding me through the process and addressing all my questions. His down-to-earth demeanor and attention to detail were truly commendable."

"Absolutely amazing experience! If I could give 10 stars, I would! Adrian and the team at Blackout Tinting were extremely professional, experienced, and true masters of their craft. I brought in my Dad's 87 Nissan, that I recently purchased. They stayed as true to it's original form as possible, and I love it! They went above and beyond with all of the details, and kept in constant communication. Thank you so much for such an incredibly, wonderful experience. You have no idea how much this has meant to myself and my family!"

"Erik Chavez: I recently got my windows tinted at ultraviolet window tinting, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. The team was super transparent about the options available, and they gave me honest advice without trying to upsell. They really listened to what I wanted and provided the best option for my car. The tinting job itself was flawless. The work was done with great attention to detail. The tint looks fantastic and very professional. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality window tinting and top-notch service. They’ve earned my trust, and I’ll definitely be back for future needs!"

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.
