"Marvel did an incredible job on my tint. He educated me on the differences between the tint shades and glass type to help me decide what I wanted for my car. He also does ceramic coating as well! I liked how he gave updates on his work progress so that you can plan your day accordingly."

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.
