I came here after my inner/outer detail with Lim, from Detail by Precision. He pointed out that my…read moreroof was already starting to break down: patchy, worn, almost like these "salt-burn" marks across the paint of the roof. I'll be honest, I'm still learning about paint health but I know enough to recognize when something needs attention. I love my car, it's reliable, it supports everything I need to do in my life--and since I fully own it, I wanted to do something meaningful for it for my birthday. They walked me through two options: vinyl vs. PPF. And the way they explained PPF just made sense. It wasn't just about aesthetics, it was about peace of mind. Protection from all the elements this car goes through daily. Longevity. Something that holds integrity over time, not just a quick fix. That mattered to me. The owner was incredibly informative. You can tell there's intention behind everything here: not just the service, but the design, the experience, the way they think. As a designer, I pick up on that immediately. It doesn't feel random...it feels considered. And the front desk, she was amazing! I wish I remembered her name. But you know when someone's vibe is just genuine? Not performative, not transactional--just kind, attentive, and actually caring about helping you? That was her. It makes a difference. What really surprised me was the turnaround. Same day. I wasn't expecting that at all! They finished the roof in a black gloss PPF, and it completely transformed the car. It looks like a panoramic roof now--clean, elevated, honestly more expensive. It was such a strong recommendation, and I'm really glad I trusted it. We also talked about window tinting, and after this experience, I'm already planning to come back. The level of professionalism, the clarity, the care--it's consistent across everything they do. When you get PPF you get a followup appointment to ensure everything is curing properly. You can tell they work on luxury vehicles, there's a precision to their standards. But what stood out to me is that they bring that same level of care to anyone who walks in. No matter your vehicle, they are dedicated to making it feel top notch. That matters. I highly recommend them. Truly. Thank you Graphix Lab! Attaching photos of how shiny black gloss PPF looks.

First off, this review is over 10 years late. Over the past decade plus, I've brought 8 of our…read morecars (Toyota, BMW, Honda (3), VW, Subaru, Acura) for window tinting at Grizzly. The workmanship is top-shelf as Danny knows his stuff and is an artisan of his craft, which requires lots of attention to detail. Between Danny and Gena, they run a beautiful shop in SSF with competitive prices on Llumar tint. I recently had to get some warranty work done on my ID.4 as the back window started "rippling" and distorting after only a couple of years, making rearview mirror images harder to see. Gena was able to get the work approved under warranty (it was an adhesive defect), made an appointment and brought the car in and the work was done in about an hour -- I can see clearly out the back window again. I will continue to go to Grizzly Tint with all my future vehicle acquisitions in the future....the best window tinting service in the Bay!

Had LLumar ceramic film installed on all of my brand-new car's windows in June. I let the film cure for a couple of weeks. Time passes, and on my back left window, I noticed a tiny bubble around what appeared to be lint trapped between the glass and the film. Thinking this would be covered under warranty as an installation flaw, I brought it back to Grizzly. The installer removed the film and located the "defect." It wasn't lint, but rather a deep scratch. The installer then claimed the scratch was already there when I brought the car in, said he "forgot" to tell me about it after the initial install, and claimed it must have come like that from the factory. He told me to take the car back to the dealership to get the glass replaced under warranty--and added that if I didn't get it replaced, / would have to pay them labor costs to reinstall the tint on that window. I brought the car back to the dealership. The master technician inspected it and confirmed the deep scratch was caused by a third party using a razor blade. The installer scratched my brand-new window during prep, didn't own up to his mistake, purposefully hid it from me, and then tried to charge me extra labor when I brought it to his attention. Unbelievable dishonesty. I will never step foot in this shop again.

I've trusted California Detailing to beautify and protect four cars and three motorcycles for my…read morefamily since our first experience with them in 2022. Most of the jobs were for full PPF + ceramic coating of new vehicles, but they've also performed a couple of non-PPF paint correction, detailing, and ceramic coating work on well-used vehicles not eligible for PPF. In all cases, California Detailing produced fantastic results that made the new cars look better than they were at dealer delivery and the well-used vehicles look as close to new as possible. For vehicles that we've subsequently sold, California Detailing's attentive work helped protect their resale value. Even when we don't have big jobs pending, we drop by their shop a few times a year for installation inspections and touch-ups (no charge during PPF or ceramic coating warranty period). In addition to being skilled professionals, California Detailing also have great customer service that easily makes my family and me feel at home during our visits. Excellent and lasting results, great people, convenient location, and timely scheduling. We'll see them again soon!

I had never had my car detailed before because it never seemed like a necessity, but was prepping for family to visit and it hit me that the car looked pretty beat up inside and out. Not gonna lie - it felt expensive - but they did an amazing job. They were up front and explained exactly what they were going to do. They did need to see the car before confirming a final quote. They did the full internal and external job and went through every nook and cranny until it shined. I dropped the car off at 9am and picked up a little after 5pm. While I was tempted by the convenience of mobile detailers, i ultimately chose the fixed location and don't regret it.

This review is long overdue so, let's start off with the TL;DR version for MCAR PPF: the experience…read morewas great from the very beginning, starting with the initial interaction with Mayza, to Neto completing the full-frontal pre-cut PPF and inspection. Overall, a very pleasant experience that I would not mind repeating! Now, the long version: recently bought a brand new Mazda 3 and I wanted to keep the car for a long time. Heard a lot of rumblings about the paint being very thin and that PPF would be highly recommended in order to preserve it and prevent rock chips. Browsed around on Yelp to see if there were any local PPF shops to alleviate this concern. A few shops responded, but Mayza from MCAR was one of the first and most diligent around. Her patience and explanations helped ease my concerns, and there was absolutely no pressure. She quoted the job accordingly, which was quite fair, given what others seemed to be charging, and all the pieces starting falling into place. Next thing you know, I had an appointment to get the PPF installed on the weekend. Multiple texts were sent to confirm the appointment, along with reminders as the day came closer. Location was one of the key factors in choosing MCAR, as they are located very close to public transportation and in an area that's easily accessible - they're located behind the old SF Honda dealership. Showed up bright and early on a Saturday morning right when Neto and his team was opening up the shop, and was checked in within a few minutes. Neto did ask if I wanted anything additional done, but I told him that a full-frontal pre-cut PPF was all my budget allowed at the moment. No pressure on additional services and my car was taken in to be worked on after our initial conversation. The PPF installation was brilliant after I picked up my car, and it was completely transparent, virtually unnoticeable and clean. The job only took a day to complete as well since it was a pre-cut install. After the job was completed, Neto instructed no car washes for about 2 weeks, and to come back for a follow-up inspection. 2 weeks passed, and I had noticed that there was some peeling on one of the side mirrors. Brought the car back in for the inspection and explained the peeling on one side; Neto quickly brought the car in and reapplied new PPF within an hour. Professional and diligent all around. What's even more amazing is their work is backed by a 10-year warranty! Communication is always key and MCAR PPF definitely provided that. Neto and the team deserves all of the kudos for their work. All of the cars they work on are either upscale exotic cars, Teslas or luxury cars. My "casual" car was one of the few that wasn't incredibly expensive-looking, but there was no judgment. Thank you to MCAR for this magnificent experience, and looking forward to repeat business!

The car is a two door convertible, so no roof and only two doors to do. The ppf quote came in at $6500. It wasn't the craziest but not the best quote either. Here is the clincher, the ceramic coating quote came in at $2000!! I mean, I thought we got our wires crossed and maybe he thought I meant for a partial ppf or something. Nope, not a mistake. That was a real quote! This guy must be very, very good and applying a ceramic coating. That's to rich and ridiculous blood. Feels like he was trying to take advantage of me. Does anyone, other than someone with a $200,000+ car pay $2000 for a ceramic coating? (For reference, the material requested was for Xpel stealth and Xpel fusion satin).

We had ADS install a PPF wrap and ceramic coat on our brand newly built Porsche last year. Unfortunately, the workmanship has not held up. Multiple areas of the film are being lifted, separating and peeling. Edges were poorly trimmed, sections underneath are coming apart and there are exposed areas where the wrap was not properly applied. These issues weren't something we were nitpicking because they were actually pointed out. ADS did attempt to address some areas on the second visit, but when you are paying thousands for a professional PPF installation, the expectation is that it is done correctly the FIRST time. Having to return to fix basic installation problems should not be the standard. For a premium vehicle, this level of workmanship is unacceptable. When the latest issues were brought up ADS refused to stand by their work. So with other reputable shops available, I urge those looking to skip this one especially if you have a luxury or high end sports car. We ultimately found another shop that corrected the issues properly and stands behind their work.
