"Angel did a magnificent job in detailing our automobile. He was able to remove scuff marks caused by a backing up accident that would have cost a lot more at a collision repair shop. His price was very reasonable and the car looks great!!"

"I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Legend 7!! Joey is one of the most helpful and kind shop owners I've ever met, and all the staff and mechanics are all extremely skilled and hospitable. They helped me choose the perfect color for my new car and it’s absolutely stunning and even better than I could've ever imagined. The attention to detail is unreal, every single edge and curve was wrapped absolutely flawlessly. I love how my car looks so much that I find excuses to drive it every chance I get. The whole process was smooth, professional, and a pleasure from start to finish. Come here if you want spectacular service at a phenomenal price!!"

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.
