"What can I say about Jason? He is AWSOME! Since 2017, Carzwerk and Jason have been my go-to detailer. There is not one vehicle that I'm not happy with after Jason have completed his work! On our most recent project (2023 Honda Civic Type R), the paint condition was horrible!!! In the end, the paint was completely corrected and ceramic coated. I also didn't have a big budget, but Jason was ready to hear me out and come to a comfortable medium ground. I look at Jason (my auto detailer) like my hair stylist; I find the one I like, and I go back to the same person for the next 20 - 30 years :) Jason, see you on our next project for sure!!! Congrats and keep up the good work!!"

"Absolutely amazing experience! If I could give 10 stars, I would! Adrian and the team at Blackout Tinting were extremely professional, experienced, and true masters of their craft. I brought in my Dad's 87 Nissan, that I recently purchased. They stayed as true to it's original form as possible, and I love it! They went above and beyond with all of the details, and kept in constant communication. Thank you so much for such an incredibly, wonderful experience. You have no idea how much this has meant to myself and my family!"

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.
