"Long Beach Audio Shop is 5 stars all the way. Efren hooked me up with a custom subwoofer box, amp, and bass knob in my 2019 Tacoma. Installation was as clean as it gets, and done for an amazing price. The customer service at this place is TOP NOTCH. This is the second time I've taken a vehicle to LB Audio Shop, and will continue to recommend family and friends to this place."

"Mohammed did a wonderful job on my Honda Accord. I checked around and he had the best price and top notch quality work. You cannot beat that, and he's very friendly as well. The price quoted was the price paid. I checked around and the prices that I was quoted elsewhere were over 30% higher, for the same work. I would definitely definitely recommend Solax to anyone that's looking for a tint job. I couldn't be happier with the results."

"Luis is awesome! He’s really friendly and knows his stuff when it comes to helping you pick the right tint for your truck. The finished tint always looks perfect—his work is top-notch. He’s quick but doesn’t cut corners, and his customer service is spot-on. Booking an appointment is super easy, too. If you’re thinking about getting your windows tinted, this is the place to go! Highly recommend!"

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.
