"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."

"Toyz Detail Studio is the best car window tinting place you can possibly go to in the Orange County area. I went in to tint 3M Color Stable for my Tesla Model 3 right after I picked up my car. I was looking for high grade films for a while and finally found them here. They were authorized for so many brands for choices including 3M, LLumar and Xpel and their prices were pretty fair even if they use better quality films."

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.
