Heavy duty? No problem. El Cajon’s authorized 3M™ dealer, about 12 minutes from Lakeside up the 8 and the 67. Ceramic and 3M Crystalline film for trucks, tow rigs and daily drivers — installed in our climate-controlled shop.
Lakeside runs on trucks — work trucks, tow rigs, lifted 4x4s and the family hauler that tows the boat to the lake on weekends. Those big cabs of glass turn into ovens sitting in a dirt lot off Wildcat Canyon Road. A quality ceramic window tint drops interior temperature, blocks 99% of UV, and stops a dash from cracking after years in the East County sun.
We tint everything from a single-cab work truck to a crew-cab dually, plus SUVs, sedans and Teslas. Every job is computer-cut to your exact vehicle, including oversized rear slider windows, so no blade touches your glass. Most vehicles are done in about two hours. Because a clean tint needs a dust-free bay, all tinting is done at our El Cajon shop — a short run down the 67 from Lakeside.
We are an authorized dealer. Ask and we will show you the box and the watermark on the film before we start.
Crew cabs, sliders, lifted rigs and RV windows. Computer-cut patterns fit oversized glass with no gaps.
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. Larger trucks with more glass may run a little higher — call for an exact quote.
Front two doors. The common fix for driver-side sun and glare.
All four doors plus the rear glass. Our most popular package.
Full vehicle including quarter and slider glass. Complete coverage.
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 Lakeside, but tint is in-shop only.
Yes. We tint single cabs, crew cabs, duallys and lifted 4x4s every day, including oversized rear sliders. The seven-window package covers a full truck.
About 12 minutes. Take the 67 south to the 8 west and exit Mollison or Main St — we are on N Magnolia Ave with easy truck parking.
Two windows start at $99, five windows from $169, and a full seven-window package from $199. Larger trucks with more glass may run slightly higher. 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.
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.
