"I highly recommend Auto Factor! Hani and his team are amazing and treat you like family the second you walk in! Hani will educate you on the products they use and on what they recommend as well. I've had to contact Hani after business hours a few times and he gets back to me right away. If I have an issue and need to bring my car in to get it checked out, he makes time and takes care of my car right away as well. I will definitely be a returning 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.
