"Clarrissa Peralta: Got a quote from Superior and it was the lowest I had found by atleast $30, And I called over 30 different places. Read some reviews and they were all great So I decided to book an appointment. The response time was really fast and they had an opening right away. Went to the location to get my windshield replaced and staff was extremely friendly. They had drinks and snacks for us while we waited as well as Netflix which was great since I had my daughter's with me. The service was fast and they did a great job. Had us in and out in just 1 hour. I couldn't have been more satisfied with the overall experience with this business and have already recommended them to my sister for her windshield repair. Thank you Superior , if I ever need any windows or tint services in the future I will most definitely contact you !"

Front Windshield:Non-reflective tint above AS-1 line
Front Side Windows:Must allow 70% of light to pass through

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.
