"Hands Down! 5 star Review, I work in sales for Chevrolet. I know all about the customer and business relationships. I went to 4 different "Sound Shops, between Vallejo and Fairfield. All did not win my business. I'm all about Vallejo and supporting our local shops. Thank God I made this my last stop. The owner Ivor is as authentic & honest as it gets. As well as his main employee Johnothan. I got approved for 1600$ and plan on spending every dime thru time with these guys! To the point, need Beat? Alarm systems? Or just some knowledgeable help. Come see my new go to spot. These guys are about you the "customer " more than the $!! Enough said! Sincerely, A Proud Vallejo Local"

"Amazing service. Came to my home and replaced my windshield. Great price as well. Highly recommend using their services. Professional and very knowledgeable with years of experience. I've used Safelite before and I can tell you, they are WAY more expensive and not any better. Plus, I would rather help a local family owned business."

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.
