You do not have to leave town for it. We tint out of Suite 6 at 23839 Connecticut St — the industrial pocket off Depot Road, on the flat west side of Hayward.
Connecticut Street is one of the short industrial streets that hang off Depot Road, out past the Whitesell and Cabot Boulevard side of Hayward. If you have ever driven the airport side of town or cut across toward the San Mateo Bridge, you have passed within about a mile of the door.
Highway 92 passes less than a mile to the south and I-880 runs about two miles east, and both feed Industrial Boulevard and Depot Road, so the last leg stays clear of downtown traffic.
A full vehicle takes roughly three to four hours. Decide up front whether you are waiting or leaving the car, because the two visits look nothing alike.
Send your year, make and model. We come back with the number before you drive over — no surprise at pickup.
Suite 6 sits in the row on Connecticut Street. Pull up, hand over the keys, tell us the shade you settled on.
Glass gets stripped clean, film is cut to your exact windows and laid down. This is the three-to-four-hour part.
We look over every pane together in daylight before you leave, and you get the cure-period rules in plain English.
Waiting is fine if you brought something to do. Most Hayward customers do the other thing: drop the car, run an errand toward Hesperian, and come back to a finished job. Weekday hours run 11:00 AM to 7:30 PM, Saturday 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Sunday closed.
A Hayward car pays the published price — no local surcharge, no travel line. Both films stop 99% of UV. The difference you pay for is heat.

Street parking, an open lot at work, a driveway with no shade — most cars here bake for hours with nobody in them. Film is what stands between that sun and your dashboard.
23839 Connecticut St, Suite 6, Hayward, CA 94545. Connecticut Street is a short industrial street off Depot Road, near Whitesell Street and Cabot Boulevard. Highway 92 runs less than a mile south of us and I-880 is about two miles east, so the last leg of the drive is short from either one.
Either works. A full vehicle takes roughly three to four hours. Waiting is doable, but most local drivers leave the car and run an errand — Southland Mall is about two and a half miles up the road and Chabot College is a little over two.
We are open 11:00 AM to 7:30 PM Monday through Friday and 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturday, and a full vehicle needs three to four of those hours. Aim to be here by about 3:30 PM on a weekday or 1:00 PM on a Saturday, and call first so we can confirm the slot is open.
California sets a limit on how dark the front side windows can be and only permits a strip of tint at the top of the windshield. Rear glass is treated differently. We go through the rules with you before any film is cut, and we have written the whole thing up on a separate page.
No. Union City and Fremont drivers come north up I-880, San Leandro and Oakland come south down it, and San Lorenzo and Castro Valley reach us on surface streets instead. Hayward is simply home base, so nobody has a shorter trip than our neighbors do.
Still deciding on a shade? Read the California window tint laws first, then compare films on the window tint service page.
Tell us the car and the shade. We will send your exact number back — and Connecticut Street is a short hop, not an expedition.
