"Love this place! Just had my Windows tinted, and WOW. That display really helped with making my decision and my DOG and I are glad you talked me into Ceramic tint, what I difference it is getting into my car in this outrageous heat. It feels like I parked in the shade at times, incredible. All around great experience, the owner was very professional and I feel confident and extremely thrilled with the work provided. I don’t do many reviews but after seeing the quality, I had to get on here for 5 star review! 😁 Thank you Hott Shots!"

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.
