"Amazing.... It's been over a year since my tint was installed. I couldn't be happier. Ceramic was the way to go. Heat reduction is great and it looks amazing too.... Install prosses and customer service was great as well. Will be back with other Vehicles thanks again"

"I had the absolute best experience here! The lady at the front desk, Krista, was exceptionally courteous and they were very accommodating! I'd recommend this place highly! They have a super comfortable waiting area and the quality of their tinting is amazing. They have lots of options but they are not pushy at all and they got me in and out quick!"

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.
