Can you tint the windows on our fleet vehicles too?

Yes, and the sensible time to do it is while the vehicle is already with us for the wrap. That way it comes off the road once rather than twice. It is worth doing on work vehicles. A van or truck sitting in Central Valley heat all day is genuinely unpleasant to drive, and ceramic film cuts the infrared heat that makes the cab uncomfortable rather than just darkening the glass. It also keeps UV off the interior, which matters on vehicles that live outdoors rather than in a garage. Mention it when you request your wrap quote and we will price the two together.

FAQ

We Are Here To Help

Will I get pulled over for 5 tint in California?

It depends entirely on which windows have 5% tint. If it's your rear side windows and rear windshield, you're completely legal, even in Fresno, and have nothing to worry about. But if your front side windows have 5% tint, yes, you can absolutely be pulled over. Front windows must allow 70% light transmission, making 5% on the front one of the most obvious violations an officer will spot. Fresno law enforcement and CHP officers carry tint meters and can measure your VLT on the spot during any traffic stop.

How do I get a quote?

You can call, text, or request a quote online in under a minute. We’ll just need your vehicle year, make, model, and what service you’re interested in to get you an accurate estimate.

Do I need an appointment or do you take walk-ins?

We recommend booking an appointment to avoid wait times, but walk-ins are welcome when we have availability. Feel free to call or text us to check for same-day openings.

Should I do anything to my car beforehand?

Yes, we recommend giving your car a basic exterior wash before your appointment. This helps us avoid rubbing dry dirt or dust into the paint when working on your vehicle, which can cause scratching. It also makes it easier for us to get great photos of your car when it’s all done.

Do you have financing options?

Is taillight and headlight tinting legal?

There are headlight tinting laws in California. But, our headlight tinting films are classified as protection films (with a slight shade) and therefore are legal in California.

How long before I can wash my car after a clear bra application?

You must wait a full 7 days prior to washing your car after the application. This will allow enough time for the film to fully cure and bond.

Can you take a car with a ceramic coat through a car wash?

No, it’s best to avoid automated car washes if you have a ceramic-coated vehicle. Automated car washes use recycled water and low-quality brushes that can rub dirt and grit along the ceramic coating, damaging it. It’s best to stick to handwashing only for ceramic-coated vehicles.

How much does paint protection film (PPF) cost in Fresno CA?

Paint protection film in Fresno starts at $899 for a partial front. A full front is $1,799, the track package is $2,799, and full vehicle coverage starts at $5,999. Final pricing depends on the size and shape of your vehicle, because a large SUV takes considerably more film than a coupe, and some panels are far more awkward to wrap than others. Every package uses the same 8 mil self-healing film and carries the same 10-year warranty, so the difference is coverage, not quality. Send us your year, make and model and we will give you an exact figure.
