"Dmitriy Romanenko: I took my Tesla Model Y Performance to City Auto Spa for front window tinting and was thoroughly impressed. I chose a 35% ceramic tint and Irving handled the job. His work on the alignment, cutting, and application was impeccable. The entire job took just 2 hours and the results were flawless."

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.
