"Faith Auto Glass is amazing! My husband and I had the rear glass of our Toyota Tacoma broken while it was parked in a long-term parking lot near the airport. Although we found another company willing to do the replacement for slightly less, we ultimately decided against it because they were a mobile repair service. It wasn’t worth it for us since we felt more comfortable knowing there’s a physical location that has been in business for several years. This gave us peace of mind, knowing we’d have a reliable place to go if we experienced any issues with the glass in the future."

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.
