"I had a mildew smell in my car from some rain that got in the car. These guys took care of it quickly and did a great job, the smell is gone! They were very helpful and professional, and their prices are competitive (I paid $139 for an interior detailing; all the other retailers I contacted in Woodland and Sacramento were asking $200-$350). I definitely recommend these guys if you need derailing done!"

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?

California car window tinting prices range from $200-$500 for full-vehicle service, reflecting the state's strict compliance requirements. 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. Many professional car window tinting services in California include certification of legal compliance.
