Window Tint Questions & Answers
Prices, timing, films, warranty, aftercare and California law — the questions we hear most.
How much does it cost to tint a car?
Price depends on the vehicle size, how many windows, the film (carbon or ceramic) and whether old tint needs to come off first. The fastest way to get an exact number is to text your year, make and model to (310) 292-6693 or use our quote builder.
How long does it take to tint a car?
Most sedans take about 2–3 hours. SUVs, trucks and full cars with a windshield can take longer. Old tint removal adds time depending on the old film's condition.
What's the difference between carbon and ceramic tint?
Carbon film looks great, blocks UV and keeps the car cooler than dyed film at a lower price. Ceramic film rejects much more heat at the same shade, stays clear at night and never interferes with phone, GPS or radio. Ceramic also comes with our lifetime warranty.
Is window tint legal in California?
Yes, within limits. Rear side and back windows can be any shade. Front side windows must let in at least 70% of light, and the windshield can be tinted on the top 4 inches.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Ceramic tint comes with a lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling, cracking and fading.
When can I roll my windows down after tint?
Keep them up for 3–5 days so the film can cure. A little haze or small water pockets during the first days is normal and goes away on its own.
How do I clean tinted windows?
Wait about a week, then use a soft microfiber cloth and an ammonia-free glass cleaner. Avoid scrapers and rough sponges on the inside of the glass.
Can you remove my old purple or bubbling tint?
Yes. The price is set when we see the car and depends on how bad the old film is. Remove and re-tint with us and you get a special deal. We clean all the adhesive off and can re-tint the same day.
Will tint affect my rear defroster?
No. Film goes on the inside of the glass and the defroster keeps working normally. We take extra care around defroster lines.
Do you tint Teslas and the glass roof?
Yes — Model 3, Y, S, X and Cybertruck, including heat-rejecting film for the glass roof and protection film for the center screen.
Do you tint homes and offices?
Yes. We offer mobile residential and commercial window film across the South Bay. Send a few photos of the windows for an estimate.
Do I need an appointment?
Booking ahead is best so your car goes straight into the bay. Text us and we'll find the next open slot — often the same or next day.
Do you offer discounts?
Yes — show or mention our business card and get 10% off your tint.
