Auto Renu brings professional ceramic and carbon window tinting directly to your Martinez home, office, or workplace. No shop visit. California-legal tint installed by certified technicians — starting at $149. Same-day service available if you call before noon.
Window tinting reduces heat, blocks UV rays, and adds privacy — but taking your car to a shop means waiting hours or leaving it overnight. Auto Renu is 100% mobile: our certified technicians come to you in Martinez, install high-quality tint film at your location, and you're back on the road same day.
California Vehicle Code 26708 sets clear rules for window tint. Auto Renu installs only California-legal tint — you won't get a fix-it ticket with our work:

Is your tint California-legal? Yes, always. We install tint that complies with California Vehicle Code 26708 on every vehicle. Front side windows get 70% VLT or lighter. Rear windows and rear sides can go as dark as you want.
How long does mobile tinting take in Martinez? Most sedan jobs take 60–90 minutes on-site. SUVs and trucks with more glass surface take 90–120 minutes. You don't need to be present the whole time — we work independently at your location.
How long before I can roll my windows down? We recommend waiting 3–5 days before rolling windows down so the film fully cures and bonds. Avoid car washes for 5–7 days after installation.
Do you tint trucks, SUVs, and vans? Yes. Auto Renu tints all vehicle types in Martinez — sedans, coupes, SUVs, trucks, minivans, and commercial vehicles.
Do you serve all of Martinez? Yes. Auto Renu covers all 94553 zip codes and surrounding Contra Costa County areas, 7 days a week including weekends and holidays.
