"The nicest people and best place to go for window tinting! They seriously go the extra mile! I had an issue with some tinting starting to roll at the base of the window within the first 6 months after the install. When I asked about what I could do to help fix it, the owners were beyond generous and replaced the entire windshield! They did not have to do that and I never asked! They stand behind their work and products and take care of their customers. I highly, highly recommend Tint Master Visalia!"

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.
