02 / What we do

Three ways to blackout.

Same van, same installer. Bundle tint with PPF and we take the bundle discount off the total.

Window tint

Tint

Ceramic film that cuts the heat without turning your windows into mirrors or killing your phone signal.

  • Cooler cabin from the first drive
  • 99% UV — protects your interior and your skin
  • Legal front windows, confirmed before we cut
  • Lifetime warranty on ceramic films, 5 years on carbon

From $149

Paint protection film

PPF

Clear urethane over the panels that take the abuse. Self-healing, so light swirls disappear in the sun.

  • Rock chip protection on the 5 and the 15
  • Self-healing top coat
  • Partial front, full front, or full car
  • Removes clean — protects resale value

Change the color without touching the paint. Satin, gloss, matte, chrome delete, roof and trim.

  • Fleet and commercial lettering
  • Reversible — factory paint stays underneath

From $399

Entry

Partial Front

Bumper, plus partial hood and fenders — the panels that catch the most rock chips on the freeway.

03 / Film types

Why cheap tint costs more.

Dyed film is what the $99 shops use. It blocks no heat at all — it just makes the glass dark. It looks the same in the bay and purple in eighteen months.

Compare the three films side by side
Entry 40% Heat rejected

Carbon

Our starting film, and where our lowest price comes from. Real heat rejection, stays black, never goes purple — it just stops less heat than the ceramics.

  • No signal interference
  • 99% UV blocked
  • 5 year warranty
Most picked 78–88% Heat rejected

Ceramic

Where most of our customers land. More than double the heat rejection of carbon for a small step up in price.

  • Noticeably cooler on the freeway
  • 99% UV blocked
  • Lifetime warranty
Top tier 95% Heat rejected

Super Ceramic

The most heat you can stop without going darker. Worth it if you park outside all day.

  • Maximum heat rejection
  • Ultra optical clarity
  • 99% UV blocked
  • Lifetime warranty

Metallic films are the other cheap option — they reject heat but interfere with GPS, keyless entry and tire sensors. We don't install them.

Geoshield

The film is Geoshield

Carbon, ceramic and super ceramic above are all Geoshield film — not a house brand with numbers nobody can check. The heat-rejection and warranty figures on this page are what Geoshield actually ships, and it's the same film on every car we tint, mobile or not.

04 / How dark?

How dark is dark?

VLT is how much visible light the glass lets through. Lower number, darker glass. Every shade below is a real photo of the same car, shot in the same light, so what you see is what you get — the figure in the corner is what you'd ask us for.

Nothing to choose here. Shade isn't part of your quote — we measure your glass on the day and confirm what's legal before we cut. This section is just so you know what to ask for.

Front side windows and windshields — the lightest film we stock.

Front: we measure first

California limits front side windows to more than 70% light transmission, measured on the glass and film together — and your factory glass already blocks some light on its own. We take a reading on your vehicle before we cut anything up front. Rear side windows and the back glass can be any shade you like as long as you have both side mirrors.

Dark ≠ cool

This is the thing most people get wrong. How dark a film looks and how much heat it stops are two separate things. A 5% dyed film blocks no heat at all — it just makes the glass black. A 70% ceramic can stop most of it and stay almost invisible. Pick the shade for the look and the privacy you want, then pick the film for the heat. They're separate decisions and we'll walk you through both.

05 / How it works

Four steps. One of them is yours.

1

Get your price

Tell us your year, make and model — we text you a price, usually within the hour.

2

Pick a slot

Choose a day and an address. Home, office, apartment garage — wherever the car sits.

3

We show up

Van, film, power and water all come with us. You keep working. We text when we're done.

4

Roll windows down

Wait three days for the film to cure, then it's yours for as long as you own the car.

06 / Recent work

Look at the edges.

Anyone can make a window dark. The tell is the door seal, the dot matrix and the rear defroster lines — that's where rushed installs fall apart. Every car below was done on site, at the customer's home or work. The strip below runs on its own — pause it with the button underneath, and tap any car to see it full size.

09 / Questions

Asked before every job.

How dark can I legally go in California?
Front side windows have to let more than 70% of light through, so any film there has to be very light. The windshield has two legal options, and they are different products: a darker strip across the top down to the AS-1 line, or a clear, non-darkening film across the whole glass. That clear film is what the "Full + windshield" option on the calculator adds — it cuts heat and UV without making the glass look tinted. Rear side windows and the back window can be as dark as you want, as long as you have both side mirrors. We measure your glass and confirm what's legal for your specific vehicle before we cut anything.
How long does it take, and do I need to be there?
Two to three hours for most cars, a bit longer for a full SUV or a Tesla glass roof. You don't need to stand around — leave the keys with us, go back to work, and we'll text you when it's done.
Do you need power or water at my place?
No. We bring our own power, water and everything else. All we need is space to open the doors and, ideally, shade or a garage.
Can you do it at my apartment complex?
Yes — we do apartment garages and covered lots all the time. Just check that your building allows work on site, and grab a spot where we can open the doors fully.
When can I roll the windows down?
Give it three days. You'll see some haze or small water pockets while the film cures — that's normal and it clears on its own. If anything's still there after a week, call us and we'll come back.
What does the warranty actually cover?
Bubbling, peeling, cracking, delamination and color change. Our ceramic and super ceramic films carry it for as long as you own the vehicle; carbon is covered for 5 years. It's backed by the film manufacturer and honored by us. It doesn't cover damage from scratching the film or from cleaning it with ammonia — use the cloth we leave you.
Can you remove old tint?
Yes. Removal is priced separately because it varies a lot — factory-tinted rear glass with defroster lines takes real time to do without damage. Send a photo and we'll quote it.
