"R.: Exceptional Customer Experience and Friendly Staff !! I recently had my car undergo a full PPF and window tinting service, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. Ask for Ledon, he was incredibly helpful and patient, guiding me through the process and addressing all my questions. His down-to-earth demeanor and attention to detail were truly commendable."

"I recently had my Tesla's front windshield & side windows tinted by preferred window tinting, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! The quality of the tinting job is exceptional.

"I took my GT3RS & my dad’s McLaren 750s. Naithan and Rami did an amazing job wrapping my GT3RS in chalk. They also did a full PPF on my dad’s 750s and ceramic coated the whole car. I was quoted over 15k for the PPF job and CM was able to get it done for $7500. I was quoted $8000+ for my GT3RS wrap and CM was able to get it done for $4800 and I had the car back in 4 days only! I highly recommend these guys. They are very honest and reasonable. Thank you CM for taking care of us."

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.
