Serving Salinas Since 1993
Salinas Valley means Steinbeck sunsets, world-class produce, and vehicles that work hard. From Alisal ranch trucks to Northridge commuters to Oldtown business owners, Salinas drivers need protection that handles Valley dust, summer heat, and Highway 101 debris. We've served Monterey County since 1993—longer than most farms have had the same owners. Our ceramic tints block up to 60% of solar heat, keeping tractor cabs and pickup cabins comfortable during 100-degree harvest days. Fleet managers trust us for volume pricing; car enthusiasts trust us for the same 3M and LLumar films the Laguna Seca crowd uses. Just 35 minutes up 101, past Prunedale—we're the closest premium facility for Salinas.
