FAQs

Window tint questions, answered

How long does window tint installation take?

Installation time depends on the vehicle and the number of windows. We'll give you an estimate when you book.

How much does window tinting cost?

Pricing depends on your vehicle, the number of windows and the service you choose. You can see our window tint services and pricing directly in our online booking system.

How dark can I legally tint in California?

Front side windows must let in at least 70% of light with glass and film combined, and only the top 4 inches of the windshield can be tinted. Rear side and back windows can be any shade. Medical exemptions may apply. We're happy to help you pick a shade that fits your needs.

How long should I wait before rolling down my windows?

Fresh tint needs time to dry and cure. We'll give you specific aftercare instructions, including when it's safe to roll your windows down.

Will there be bubbles after installation?

A little moisture or temporary haziness can be normal while the film cures, and it generally clears as it dries. We'll explain what to expect and when to contact us if something doesn't look right.

Do you offer mobile window tint?

No. Window tint is installed in-studio only at our Santa Maria shop, so the film goes on in a clean, controlled space for the best result.
