"Freddie and his team couldn't have been nicer and more helpful. I have tried a few different places in LA, and Santa Monica Car Sound was the only one to truly help me find the best price for a new radio system. It is the best service in LA and has the best prices by far. Freddie and his team are all great people. I highly recommend it to everyone!"

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.
