"I took my car in to get it wrapped with paint protection film, ceramic coated and tinted the car and let me just say in all my experiences I have never met and dealt with such an amazing team. Each and everyone of them took such good care of my car , explained the process , did such an amazing job and had the best price in town. They treat you like family not a customer and they are AMAZING. I 100% recommend Alan and his team. I’m a customer for life without a doubt and would never go anywhere else …….."

"Absolutely fantastic experience! This car wash exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff was friendly, professional, and attentive to every detail. My car went in looking like it had been through a mud storm and came out looking brand new! Every inch of the car was spotless, inside and out – they even got into the small, hard-to-reach areas most places overlook. The quality of service and attention to detail is unmatched. I can confidently say this is the best car wash in town. Highly recommend to anyone who wants their car to look perfect. Five stars all the way!"

Front Windshield:Non-reflective tint above AS-1 line

Back Side Windows:Must allow 35% of light to pass through

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.

Please note that window tinting laws may change. Always verify current regulations with your automotive window tinting provider to ensure compliance.
