"Brought my new (to me) Nissan Kicks in for tinting because I couldn’t handle the fishbowl feeling anymore— they did ceramic tinting on all windows and windshield in about 2 hours, were super kind and courteous, and extremely competitive pricing with the other shops on the street. I’ll definitely recommend them to anyone and will be a lifetime customer!"

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.
