San Jose Window Tinting & Paint Protection
Premium tint and PPF at South Bay prices—just 35 minutes from downtown San Jose
Serving San Jose Since 1993
San Jose tech workers are discovering what South Bay locals have known for years: skip the overpriced Silicon Valley shops and take 101 south. We're 35 minutes from Santana Row, 25 minutes from South San Jose, and worth every minute of the drive. Downtown SJ shops charge premium prices for the same 3M, LLumar, and SunTek films we install at South Bay rates—with 32+ years of experience and a climate-controlled facility most city shops can't match. Tesla owners from Willow Glen, Almaden Valley, and Evergreen especially appreciate our glass roof expertise, ADAS-compatible ceramic films, and the fact that we've wrapped more Model 3s and Model Ys than any shop in the region.

Why should I drive from San Jose to Gilroy for window tinting?
