"Jasper Taunt: Just got my car back, I got a tint a new head unit and my sub installed as well as a few extras for my 2010 Subaru WRX! This is my review from the over all service I got from mark who was very happy to help me get done exactly what i wanted, and the pricing is really the best for getting custom work done, their audio guy jimmy did a super clean install as well, im very happy and would recommend others to get work done at this shop. I will be referring people for sure! There was a bit of goo left over from the tint, it would have been nice to make sure that was cleaned up but not a big deal at all, they also have a lifetime warranty on the tint and 1 year on the stereo work."

"Exceptional and prompt service. Informative and courteous personnel. I was referred to this shop for window tinting by a friend and I'd say, I was not disappointed nor led astray. Very friendly bilingual staff, as well as informative in helping to select correct tint percentage depending on personal need. (In my case, it was to reduce sun exposure, and keep the car cool especially while newborn is in the car.) Would definitely recommend this shop for car window tinting needs. I also noticed that they offer car wrap services in the same vicinity."

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.
