What we tint
Cars, homes, and storefronts. Every install uses premium film, cut in one seamless piece and backed for life.
One single piece of film per window, so there are no seams or cuts across the glass. High-end makes welcome, all makes and models serviced. Crystalline-certified installs that reject heat without going limo-dark.
Free same-day estimateBring the benefits to your home. Window film cuts energy bills, protects furniture and floors from fading, and adds privacy and security, in a finish that suits any home style.
Lower energy bills
Offices, retail, and restaurants. Reduce energy costs, cut glare, and give employees and customers a cooler, more private space, with films made for the demands of commercial glass.
Offices + retail
A virtually invisible layer over your paint that shields it from road debris, stone chips, and the wear of daily driving. It keeps the car looking showroom-new and holds its value.

The installer
South Bay Tinting was founded by George Smiczek, a German immigrant and professional installer whose experience goes back to the early 1980s. It is still a family-owned shop, and that shows in the work: meticulous, unblemished installs, film cut in a single seamless piece, done right the first time.
As an accredited 3M and Llumar dealer, the shop installs only premium film, including the Crystalline line that stays nearly clear while rejecting up to 99.9 percent of UV and 90 to 97 percent of infrared heat.
What the film does
Window film works all day without you thinking about it. Here is what a premium install keeps out of your car, your home, or your shop.
Performance figures are the film maker's published specs for the Crystalline line, as described on South Bay Tinting's site.
