- TBTodd BeachNov 13, 20255.0Friendly staff. The owner did the actual repairs to my vehicle. And he was straight up with all the work, cost, and time. He did a great job, and was able to accommodate me on a Saturday, on very short notice. I was leaving town the following Monday. So he really saved my ass! Ha! All my work will be done by him in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions About South Bay Auto Glass
What are the benefits of window tinting for vehicles and commercial buildings?
Window tinting offers numerous advantages. It reduces heat and glare, shields against harmful UV rays, increases privacy, and improves energy efficiency. For vehicles specifically, it also helps protect the interior from fading and adds a sleek, modern appearance.
What types of window film do you offer?
We provide a range of window films including dyed, metalized, carbon, and ceramic tints. Each type has its own set of advantages in terms of heat rejection, clarity, and aesthetics. Our team will assist you in selecting the most suitable option based on your specific requirements and budget.
How long does the tinting process take?
For most vehicles, the tinting process typically requires between 1.5 to 3 hours. The duration for commercial and residential projects can vary depending on the size and complexity of the job. We'll provide you with a precise timeline during your consultation.
What kind of warranty do you offer on your tinting services?
We provide a manufacturer-backed warranty for all our window films, which covers issues such as bubbling, peeling, and discoloration. Additionally, our team guarantees professional installation to ensure long-lasting results.
How should I care for my tinted windows after installation?
After installation, it's important to avoid rolling down your windows for 3-5 days. When cleaning, use a soft cloth and an ammonia-free cleaner on the glass. We will provide you with detailed care instructions to help maintain your tint for years to come.

Our auto glass services include windshield repair and replacement, side and rear window replacement, chip and crack repair, and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) recalibration. We cater to most vehicle makes and models.
How do I know if my windshield needs repair or full replacement?
Small chips and cracks, typically under 6 inches, can often be repaired if they're not in the driver's line of sight. Larger or spreading cracks, or damage near the edges, usually require a complete replacement. We offer complimentary assessments to help you make an informed decision.
