What is a ceramic coating, and how does it benefit my vehicle?
A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to your vehicle's exterior, creating a protective layer that enhances gloss and shields against environmental contaminants, UV rays, and minor scratches. It also makes cleaning easier by repelling dirt and water.
What is Paint Protection Film (PPF), and why should I consider it?
PPF, also known as a clear bra, is a transparent film applied to your vehicle's surfaces to protect against scratches, chips, and weathering. It preserves your car's appearance without altering its design or color.
How long does Paint Protection Film last?
High-quality PPF, like the STEK Automotive Films we use, can last up to 10 years or more with proper maintenance.
What are the benefits of window tinting?
Window tinting reduces heat, increases privacy, blocks harmful UV rays, and reduces glare from the sun, enhancing both comfort and appearance.
Do you offer a warranty on your services?
Yes, we offer a lifetime warranty on our window tinting services and a 10-year warranty on STEK Paint Protection Film installations.
What is paint correction, and when is it necessary?
Paint correction is a process that restores your vehicle's paint to a like-new condition by removing imperfections such as swirl marks and scratches. It's ideal for reviving dull or damaged paint surfaces.
