Car & Auto Window Tinting
Beat the California heat and transform your ride. Our car and auto window tinting uses genuine LLumar IRX™ ceramic film for class-leading infrared heat rejection, 99% UV block and a factory-flawless finish — installed by certified pros with a transferable lifetime warranty.
Cooler, safer, sharper — every drive
Reject blistering heat
Ceramic IR film blocks up to 96% of infrared heat so your cabin cools faster and your AC works less. A game-changer for valley summers.
99% UV protection
Block the UVA/UVB rays that fade your interior, crack your dash and damage your skin on long commutes down the 118 or 101.
Cut glare & eye strain
Tame harsh sunrise and sunset glare for safer, more comfortable driving without squinting.
Privacy & security
Keep valuables out of sight and add a layer of shatter resistance that holds glass together in an impact.
Signal-friendly tech
Non-metallic ceramic film never interferes with GPS, cellular, Bluetooth, radar or your toll transponder.
Show-stopping looks
A clean, color-stable finish that never turns purple — choose the perfect legal shade to match your vehicle.
California-legal shades, dialed in for you
California allows any darkness on rear and back-side windows; front-side windows must pass 70% of light. We install compliant film, explain the law, and help you choose the right VLT for looks and performance.
