FROM THE SHOP — LA CAR TINT

From the Shop

Specific answers from the bay — not generic filler.

Tint notes from the Carson bay

LA Car Tint writes about the glass in front of us — California 70% VLT fronts, Tesla glass that will not take a plotter, the weekly Solar and Solar Ceramic special. Same shop as Audio MotorSports: 22025 S Avalon Blvd Ste A, Carson, CA 90745. (310) 513-8800. Monday through Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Sunday closed. Zack runs the floor.

Film is cut on a glass board, then applied. Micro edge to the gasket. Amateurs put a blade on the installed windshield. This bay does not. Plotter film is the contrast: a pattern from a database, trimmed short, a hairline of light within a season. Solar starts at $249 installed for a four-door sedan. Solar Ceramic starts at $329 installed. 3M Ceramic IR and Color Stable stay quote-only. Tesla jobs go to Tesla Tint LA in the same building. Tesla is tint only.

You already know the shop from YouTube. These posts are the short version of what we say at the counter. No city dump. No invented review quotes. Payment plan is Snap, Qualify, Easy Pay, and Synchrony — the terms live on the payment plan page. Nick walks it. Read a note, then come in with the year, make, and model.

What we will not write

We will not write a page per city. We will not claim we cut film against the windshield. We will not publish a 3M Ceramic IR dollar on a blog card. We will not sell wraps or glass repair in a tint note. Fronts that have to stay legal are 70% VLT. A full windshield sheet is not legal in California. Windshield strip and tint removal stay quote-only. Tesla roofs are a store conversation — come in, package deal, no public roof dollars on this index.

Walk-ins Monday through Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Sunday closed. Two to three hours for a four-door when the bay is open. Come before 4 if you want a same-day shot. Heat demo in the lobby. Google has the shop at 4.8 from 654 reviews. If the note you need is not in the cards below, call with the year, make, and model.

Cards below are the current tint notes. Read one, then book the glass. Same address. Same hours. Same Nick at the quote. Zack on the floor. 3M on the board.
