"I went to Apex to lift my 1995 Land Cruiser and Manny was very knowledgeable about all of the different options for my car. He got me a great deal on a set of method wheels and an old man emu lift at half the price of any other shop in the area. Thank you Apex!"

"Definitely recommend going to Mad Wraps! I’ve know them for quite some time and Brian and his team always took care of me. His priorities are making you satisfied and happy! They are kind and caring people, they won’t just trash your car and scratch it by accident… they have a passion for all cars and genuinely love what they do, so they will take care of your car and you can definitely trust them! I don’t trust anyone touching my car for wrapping needs besides them! Brian wrapped both of my cars flawlessly and the wraps hold up perfectly. Also before they give ur car back they make sure everything is perfect! Go to Mad Wraps, they will take care of you and your needs!"

"What can I say about Jason? He is AWSOME! Since 2017, Carzwerk and Jason have been my go-to detailer. There is not one vehicle that I'm not happy with after Jason have completed his work! On our most recent project (2023 Honda Civic Type R), the paint condition was horrible!!! In the end, the paint was completely corrected and ceramic coated. I also didn't have a big budget, but Jason was ready to hear me out and come to a comfortable medium ground. I look at Jason (my auto detailer) like my hair stylist; I find the one I like, and I go back to the same person for the next 20 - 30 years :) Jason, see you on our next project for sure!!! Congrats and keep up the good work!!"

Window Tinting Laws in california

Front Windshield:Non-reflective tint above AS-1 line
Front Side Windows:Must allow 70% of light to pass through
Back Side Windows:Must allow 35% of light to pass through
Rear Window:Must allow 35% of light to pass through
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.

Please note that window tinting laws may change. Always verify current regulations with your automotive window tinting provider to ensure compliance.
