"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."

"Mike totally saved the day. My car broke down and was stuck in neutral in West Covina, which is an unfamiliar area to me. I called AAA and needed to get my car towed to a shop within 5 miles. I was lucky to find Mao's Garage open at 6pm on a Saturday. I called ahead and Mike told me, even though he specializes in foreign vehicles, he'd take a look at my Saturn, with a potentially ruined Transmission. I leave the car over the weekend, worried that the repair will cost more than the car is worth, but the next business day Mike sends me a text detailing how he saved my car! Rather than a broken transmission, it was the shift linkage that had a piece break off, and instead of having to order a part, Mike created a custom bracket that was the perfect fit to get my car shifting into gear again. He even adjusted my handbrake and re attached a door panel for me before I took the car. Mike seems like a super nice and honest guy that goes above and beyond for his customers! Would recommend this shop to anyone seeking detailed care for their vehicle"

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.
