Questions, answered.

Most Sacramento shops quote roughly $200–$450 for a full car with standard film and about $350–$900 or more for ceramic. Your exact price depends on the vehicle, the number of windows and the film you choose. Request a quote and we'll give you a clear number.

Most vehicles take a few hours, depending on the vehicle and how many windows are being tinted. Removing old film first adds time. We'll give you an estimate when you book.

Quality film installed professionally typically lasts many years, while cheap dyed films can fade or bubble much sooner. Solar Gard films carry manufacturer warranties that vary by film line. Parking in shade and cleaning with ammonia-free products helps film last.

It depends on the window and your goals. In California, front side windows must let in at least 70% of light, while rear side and back windows can be any darkness if your car has dual outside mirrors. Popular rear choices range from 5% to 35%, and we'll show you samples to help you decide.

Only with very light film. California requires front side windows to let in at least 70% of light with glass and film combined, and the windshield may only have non-reflective tint on the top 4 inches. Medical exemptions exist for certain conditions with documentation. This is a summary, not legal advice.

Yes. Solar Gard rates its automotive films, such as NR Galaxie and HP Smoke Plus, at over 99% UV blocking. That helps protect your skin and slows fading and cracking of your dashboard and upholstery.

Yes. We've tinted Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, along with other EVs like Rivian and GMC Hummer EV. Ceramic film is a popular choice for Teslas because it's signal-friendly and handles heat through large glass well.

We tint cars, SUVs, trucks, EVs and luxury vehicles. Examples include Cadillac Escalades, Mercedes-AMG G-Class, Chevy Silverado HDs, Corvette C8s, Ford F-150 Raptors, BMW X-series SUVs and Teslas.

Yes. We remove purple, bubbling or peeling tint, clean off the old adhesive and take care around rear defroster lines. Most customers re-tint in the same visit.

Professional installation is the difference between film that looks factory-clean and film with dust, gaps or lifting edges. We work in a shop, heat-shape film to curved glass and inspect every window. Quality film only performs as well as the install.

Keep your windows rolled up for a few days while the film cures, and don't worry about slight haze or small water pockets at first. After that, clean with a soft microfiber cloth and an ammonia-free cleaner. Avoid scraping the film or using abrasive pads.

For Sacramento heat, ceramic film is usually the best choice because it blocks infrared heat without needing to be dark. King Auto Tint most often recommends Solar Gard VortexIR, kept within California's 70% rule on the front side windows.

Yes. We repair windshield chips with resin, which restores strength to the spot and helps stop it from spreading. Small chips away from the edge and outside the driver's line of sight are usually good candidates. Text us a photo and we'll tell you.

A single chip repair is a short job, often under an hour. Multiple chips or a crack take longer, and windshield replacement takes more time plus adhesive cure time before driving. We'll confirm timing when you book.

A windshield usually needs replacement when a crack is long or spreading, damage reaches the edge of the glass, it's in the driver's line of sight, or there are several damaged spots. Damage that affects a windshield-mounted camera is another common reason.

Sometimes. Short, stable cracks can often be repaired, but long cracks, cracks at the edge or damage in the driver's line of sight usually need replacement. Send us a photo and we'll give you an honest answer.
