El Cajon’s authorized 3M™ dealer, about 10 minutes from La Mesa straight down the 8. Computer-cut ceramic and 3M Crystalline film, installed in our climate-controlled shop. Walk in or call ahead.
From the climb up Mount Helix to the afternoon crawl on the 8 past Grossmont, a La Mesa car spends a lot of the day in direct sun. A quality window tint keeps the cabin livable, protects a leather interior from cracking, and holds resale value on the BMWs, Mercedes and Teslas common around the hill. Properly installed ceramic window tint blocks up to 99% of UV rays, cuts heat, and kills glare on the drive home.
We tint every make and model — European sedans, Tesla Model 3 and Y, family SUVs, trucks and work vans. Every job is computer-cut to your exact vehicle, so no blade touches your glass or paint, and most cars are done in about two hours. Because a flawless tint needs a dust-free, climate-controlled bay, all tinting is done at our El Cajon shop — a ten-minute hop down the freeway from La Mesa.
We are an authorized dealer. Ask and we will walk you to the stockroom and show you the box and the watermark before we start.
Cut to your exact year, make and model, including Tesla glass roofs. No knives near your paint, no lifting at the edges.
Every tint job is covered against bubbling, peeling, fading and purpling for as long as you own the vehicle.
Honest, upfront pricing. Every price includes genuine film, professional installation and a lifetime warranty. Final cost depends on your vehicle and the film you choose.
Front two doors. The common fix for driver-side sun and glare.
All four doors plus the rear windshield. Our most popular package.
Full vehicle including quarter glass. Complete coverage, one price.
Do not just buy “tint.” Buy the heat rejection you actually need.

No — all window tinting is done at our El Cajon shop. A dust-free, climate-controlled bay is the only way to get a flawless finish. Our auto glass service does travel to La Mesa, but tint is in-shop only.
About 10 minutes. Take the 8 east from La Mesa and exit Mollison Ave or Main St — we are on N Magnolia Ave with free parking on site.
Yes. We tint Tesla Model 3, Y, S and X including the glass roof, plus BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Porsche. Computer-cut patterns mean an exact fit with no gaps or blade marks.
Two windows start at $99, five windows from $169, and a full seven-window package from $199. Ceramic and 3M Crystalline cost more but reject far more heat. Every price includes installation and a lifetime warranty.
California allows 70% VLT on the front side windows and any darkness on the rear side and rear windshields. The windshield takes only a clear UV film or a 4-inch strip at the top. We walk you through the limits before anything goes on.
Wait three to five days so the film can fully cure and bond to the glass. Rolling the windows down early is the most common cause of peeling edges.
Call the shop, tell us your vehicle, and we will give you an exact quote in about a minute.
