3M Crystalline is the newest line of window film for your vehicle and is without a doubt, the absolute best quality window film product available in the world today. 3M has set a benchmark for all other products to strive for, producing a virtually clear 70% visible light transmittance window film with a Total Solar Energy Rejection of 50%, IR Rejection of 97% and a SPF 1700 rating.
Window Tint Removal is a very difficult process especially on a back glass with defrost lines. We do not use any razor blades on glass with defrost lines. Instead we use a special steamer to slowly remove the old film to expose the adhesive. We then have to scrub off the glue without scratching the glass.
The law in California states that you can apply film onto the 2 front doors provided the film and glass combined allows a Visible Light Transmittance of 70% or greater. The problem is most factory glass is already around 75% VLT so only a clear film can be legally installed. That is why we carry the 3M Crystalline 90% tint which is legal and has a Total Solar Energy Rejection of 34%.
We are conveniently located in the Lincoln Executive Centre right off Auto Mall Parkway West. At the first signal light, make a right turn onto Christy Street. Immediately make the next right turn into the first driveway. We will be on your left side as you enter the complex. Our shop is located across the street from the Shell Gas Station's Car Wash.

3m color stable tint film .... 5% back windows and 35% front windows worth the money. Went to auto mall tint specialist and the owner knows about tint films . I told him I wanted a classic look he recommended 3m color stable tint film ... I'm satisfied with the results ... car looks great . He said 3m color stable tint film has a darker effect . its a nano carbon tint film for better heat rejection ...

Professional work and professional communication.
Tesla 3 tinted with 80/20 ceramic tints in 2020 summer. Looked to me one man army. Still he handled the work in reasonable time.
Work was perfect, no bubble or peeling off of the tint so far.
He have few options of tints most of them are top-line 3M tints.

Very honest, professional and great value. I've done a lot of searches at NorCal - look no further. Even though the shop was 30+ miles away from my house, I would go here for tinting services. That's how good Greg is. Also saved me a lot of $$$ by giving sound advice by not tinting the glass roof of my Model Y. Minimal benefit for a lot of money. He suggested getting a roof screen instead and he was spot on. Couldn't be happier and satisfied. Thank you Greg!

Update: I have had the tint and it looks amazing! 😀 Also he provided helpful suggestions in getting me to decide what shade to go with, but left the decision to me. He provided gurantee of the work and film. Highly recommend giving him a try.
Earlier: I haven't yet had the work done but just based on the phone interaction when speaking with Greg, I feel obligated to write this review. The customer service was top notch. The price fair and no haggling required. I will update with pics when I have the tint on my car.

You can get your car tinted just about anywhere, but if you want 3M Crystalline, then your choices are limited. I've had two coupes tinted with Crystalline - all windows, including windshield. My first car was not done by Greg. I won't name the shop, but they were also a certified installer. They were also more expensive, left a lot of dust bubbles on my back window and the cuts were not very precise on some portions of the glass. My second car was given to Greg because he was cheaper and doing my cheaper car. All I can say is that I wish I had done both cars here. Greg has the best price and stands

Great shop. Owner and operator told me personally all the details, risks, and more about my chosen tint and vehicle application before we got started. Tinting is more technical than you might expect! And each car has it's own quirks. Ended up with a tint application that I am totally satisfied with and got a quality job that has lasted and looks excellent.

I had my windows tinted by Greg near the end of Dec '19 - Early January, and what an amazing job he has done.
I reached out to him over phone, made an appointment, and within' the morning, my windows were tinted. No bubbles or smears. Greg has lots of technical knowledge and experience to help you find the right tint.
Compared to other tint specialists in the area, he offered WAY better competitive pricing and quality. Due to time constraints I had, I only completed my side windows first, and came back to do the back lift gate window on a different day which Greg did not mind. Regardless, it

This is a professional operation with high quality work. I've brought multiple cars and multiple broken windows here. Every install was perfect even the problematically shaped rear windshield on my Golf with 3m crystalline film which is rare and trickier to shape. All the tint shops I've used in the past are dead to me.

I have never tinted or seen anybody tint any windows in my life, so when I was checking the work, I scrolled down the windows to see if it caused something wrong. And then the guy came out and said, "You are not allowed to put down the windows for two days! Jesus Christ." And I was thinking, who is Jesus Christ? Two days later, now, the films seem fine.

Originally part of California Sunscreen, these past years Greg has taken not only ownership of Auto Mall Tint Specialist, but also ownership and pride in the amazing work that he does. Just had car #2 done with all 3M tint and the workmanship is excellent. Its not just the quality film one uses but the workmanship required to properly do a long lasting tint job. No streaks scratches of long term bubbles on the previous car.
On top of an easy to access location, good quality workmanship, and quality product, Greg is a nice guy and a good listener. So tell him what you need. Its worth a drive even
