El Cajon’s authorized 3M™ dealer, about 10 minutes from Lemon Grove on the 94. Computer-cut ceramic and 3M Crystalline film, installed in our climate-controlled shop. Walk in or call ahead.
Lemon Grove sits in a bit of a bowl, and cars parked along Broadway or up the Skyline hill soak up sun all afternoon. A quality ceramic window tint blocks up to 99% of UV rays, drops cabin temperature, cuts glare on the 94 commute, and protects the interior from years of fading in the East County heat.
We tint every make and model — commuter sedans, trucks, family SUVs, Teslas and work vans. Every job is computer-cut to your exact vehicle, so no blade touches your glass or paint, and most cars are finished in about two hours. Because a flawless tint needs a dust-free, climate-controlled bay, all tinting is done at our El Cajon shop — about ten minutes up the 94 from Lemon Grove.
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. No knives near your paint, no shrinking or 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 Lemon Grove, but tint is in-shop only.
About 10 minutes. Take the 94 east to the 125 north to the 8 and exit Mollison Ave or Main St — we are on N Magnolia Ave with free parking on site.
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.
Yes. We tint everything from compact sedans to full-size SUVs and lifted trucks. The seven-window package covers larger vehicles fully.
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.
