Full vehicle tint
Every side window and the rear glass in one visit, cut on a plotter from your exact year, make, and model so there's no blade near your paint or defroster lines.
What's included →Auto · Home · Storefront · San Benito County
Less heat, less glare, and a shade that's legal.
Nine years of film work in Hollister. Plotter-cut patterns, an enclosed bay so dust never lands in the job, and a lifetime warranty registered in your name before you drive off.
From quote to cure
Four steps, no surprises at pickup.
1. Quote in writing
Tell us the vehicle or the window count and we send a firm number the same day — film type, shade, and total, with no add-ons at pickup.
2. Pick the shade legally
We walk you through California's VLT limits so you don't buy a ticket. Front doors, windshield strip, and rear glass all have different rules.
3. Install in a clean bay
Film is plotter-cut to your exact glass, installed in an enclosed bay so dust and wind stay out of the job.
4. Cure and warranty
Leave the windows up for three days while it cures. Your lifetime warranty is registered before you drive off, in your name.
What we install
Three jobs that cover most calls.
Home film, storefront work, and old-film removal are all on the services page with prices.
Two front windows
The common fix for a car that came from the factory with tinted rear glass and clear fronts. Matched to your existing shade so the car looks factory.
What's included →Windshield strip & ceramic clear
A visor strip across the top, or a nearly clear ceramic film over the whole windshield that cuts heat and UV without changing how the glass looks.

Not just cars
The west-facing room nobody uses after three.
Solar control film on home glass rejects the infrared heat that makes a room unusable in the afternoon, without turning it dark or taking away the view.
On the sample jobs in our gallery, treated rooms hold about eight degrees cooler and the floors stop fading, because the film blocks 99% of UV.

The problem
A black sedan parked outside all day on Airline Highway, hitting 140°F on the dash.
What we did
35% ceramic on the sides and rear, plus a clear ceramic windshield to cut the heat coming through the biggest piece of glass.
The result
Interior temperature after a workday dropped roughly 25 degrees.

What people say afterward.
“They told me exactly which shade was legal on my front doors instead of just selling me the darkest one.”
“Our west-facing room was unusable after three. Now we actually sit in it. Should have done it years ago.”
“Took the old purple film off my truck without touching the defroster lines. Clean work.”
Window tinting FAQ
Legal limits, pricing, and cure time.
How much does window tinting cost in Hollister, CA?
In this sample market, two front windows start at $129, a full vehicle runs $279 to $450 depending on film type, and a clear ceramic windshield starts at $89. Home film is quoted per square foot from about $12, and storefront work is quoted per job.
What are the legal window tinting limits for drivers in Hollister?
In California, you can apply any darkness to rear side windows and the back glass. The front side windows must allow at least 70% of light through, making a 70% ceramic film the standard legal choice, while windshields are limited to a strip above the AS-1 line. Our team ensures all San Benito County installs prioritize legal configurations.
How long does tinting take?
Two front windows take about an hour, a full vehicle two to three hours, and a windshield about 45 minutes. Home installs run from half a day to two days depending on window count.
What's the difference between ceramic, carbon, and dyed film?
Dyed is the least expensive and blocks glare but little heat. Carbon rejects more heat and never turns purple. Ceramic rejects the most heat and UV without interfering with phone, GPS, or key fob signals — it's what we recommend for cars parked outside all day in Hollister summers.
Do you offer mobile or at-home service?
Home and storefront film is always installed on site anywhere in San Benito County. Vehicles are done in our enclosed bay on Airline Highway, because wind and dust are the two things that ruin an install.
Does your San Benito County shop offer a warranty on film installations?
Every film we install throughout Hollister carries a lifetime manufacturer warranty against bubbling, peeling, cracking, and color change. We register the warranty in your name on the day of the install, and it stays with the property or transfers with the vehicle if you sell it.
After getting my car tinted in Hollister, how long should I wait to roll down the windows?
We recommend waiting 3 days, or a full week during cool or damp weather common in the San Juan Bautista area. If you notice a slight haze or small water pockets during this time, don't worry—it is a normal part of the film curing process.
