"I took my Lucid to Av Wraps for a full wrap. I met with Abel and we sat down and talked through the whole process. Abel can also bring your car up on the TV and put the color wrap on your car too give you an idea of what it will look like. The finished product took less than a week and it turned out AMAZING!! If you're thinking of wrapping your car, you MUST reach out to AV Wraps!!"

"I had the absolute best experience here! The lady at the front desk, Krista, was exceptionally courteous and they were very accommodating! I'd recommend this place highly! They have a super comfortable waiting area and the quality of their tinting is amazing. They have lots of options but they are not pushy at all and they got me in and out quick!"

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.
