I had another great experience with this window tint shop with my G37! I came in undecided about which tint shade to go with, and they took the time to walk me through my options and recommend something that would look best--and they absolutely nailed it. The final result came out perfect. This is actually my second time coming here, and it's clear they really know what they're doing. The quality of their work speaks for itself, and you can tell they have a lot of experience. On top of that, their pricing is very reasonable for the level of service and results you get. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to get their windows tinted. Definitely a shop you can trust! read more

Scott worked on a friends car. He did a full matte PPF in the whole car. I was so impressed by Scott's work, I just so happened to require some ppf services too. I had a total of 7 very expensive pieces from Japan I needed ppf on. Scott was responsive with my multiple inquires and not to mention patient. I was very impressed. I didn't even know you could PPF in such detail. I even dropped off a set of BBS LM wheels for ceramic coating too. The facility is clean, tidy, and Scott was very professional & friendly. Definitely recommend this business for PPF needs. Thanks Scott! You earned a returning customer in me. read more

After over a decade of using Advance Auto Engineering for my customers, I finally got to use them for my own personal vehicle when applicable. First off, I've seen plenty of other vendor's work in this type of industry. Scotty and Sam are very meticulous. Their work is top-notch. This is why I trust them for my customers' repairs. They are very reliable. Having to work with multiple vendors in my industry, they are very reliable and responsive. They never once let me down. That trait is rare, and I really do appreciate them for being their for me when I needed them. For my vehicle, I knew they were going to do a good job. So, I towed my vehicle out to them from Monrovia to Fullerton. I knew it was going to be worth the trek. They exceeded my expectations. Their work was no less than perfect. And they got it done earlier than expected! If you are looking to protect your vehicle and don't mind spending a few extra bucks, don't hesitate to give Scott a call. You get what you pay for in this world. Scott and Sam will take great care of your vehicle(s). Thank you, Scotty and Sam! Thank you for taking care of my brand new 2023 Tesla M3P. You made it look so much better! I'll hit you up on the next one! read more

Where can I start? Scott is amazing he is friendly and lighting fast with his work. From start to finish I have nothing but a compliment for his amazing work. He is the legit guy that you go to if you care about the car, no one in OC can beat him at his work. I would recommend everyone to come here and get your tint and ppf done, he will explain every little single details about the job he is about to perform. read more

Conflicted writing this review. 4stars for tint 2 for the clear bar on the front hood Why the conflicting stars? -overall Scott the main guy is very responsive and very friendly on the phone. 5stars great customer service!! Took my brand new Red Tesla Model 3 there when it was not even a week old after reading plenty of yelp reviews of shops in the orange area to get: -3m tint on all windows -clear bra on front, sides, door step -cost was very competitive, his pix on his site are awesome. -scott said it would take 2 biz days... no prob Note: their shop in Sep 2018 is undergoing major renovation so there was a lot of dust and construction in the front of the shop. (That should have been a red flag for me to wait to get this done). Because of all the dust. When I picked up my car a few things were a total bummer: Tint Job: All windows 35% and 1 sheet tint for the back (you dont want it to be a split sheet for the back window) 1. There was water spot overspray all over my car after the tint job -all other tint places i went to in the past..they cleaned my car after so it was like or better than when i dropped it off post tint. 2. There was white stuff that looked like dry drywall white residue on my brand new black car mats from from going in/out for the install from their shoes. -again they could have wiped that off before I picked it up.. thats just being professional. 3. The overall tint job itself was very good. Even cuts around the window, no bubbles at all. Very happy with that part. Clear Bra: 2 star. -front wrap -side doors -door steps Why 2 stars?: -they Had to do the front wrap twice (second time because I asked) -they scratched my brand new car hood all over the place 1. The day I took my car home, I turned on my garage florescent light in the evening and there was circular scratches ALL over the front hood of my brand new model 3. And it stopped right at the clear bra top. The scratched were obviously NOT there before... my car was brand freeking new. -i was super pissed -i took some pix and sent scott videos and he said to bring it in so he could buff it out. So what looks like happened is someone who cleaned my car prior and after the clear bra install had some debris all over their microfiber cloth (maybe from all the dust of their front renovation or poor washing of their application cloth?) it scratched my whole entire brand new hood. -scott said he would buff out the scratches no prob. -1hr later he said he would have to take off the clear bra, buff all scratches underneath and put on a new one. Thats what i suspected needed to happen in the first place. So I picked up the car the next day. He apologized for this and paid for my uber. Its unfortunate that this happened overall. Scott's a nice dude. I would not go back or tell friends. -i can still see some circular scratches on my hood under florescent lights... im not bringing my car back there... -This maybe a different experience for others prior to their renovation or after.... read more

So I've been going to Scott for about 10 years now and his worked on 3 of my cars from PPF to window tint. From Tesla to most recently, my Porsche 911. He is informative and not pushy and I've referred several friends to him over the years. Great quality work. read more

Alright, from other reviews you'll see that Scott does awesome job. But what about after service is over and you have issues? Well that's me. After getting my clear bra and windows tinted, two weeks passed and I went to go get a car wash. After car wash, I pulled out and heard a small "clink" noise. I pulled over right away and realized that i hit a metal object on the road. Then I look at my front right bumper and saw a dime sized damage on headlight area (pix). I cried and cried inside and mad as heck for not seeing a metal object on the road. I took few photos and sent it to Scott. He called me within 10 minutes and told me to bring it in. He said the "cut" is too deep so he gave me few options. Following morning I took the car in and he went to work. He patched up the damage and put another clear bra around the damaged area. When I went to pick up my car, the damaged area looked unnoticeable!! Unless you go to inspect the car in detail, it was invisible! He did a fantastic job! And he only charged me for a small, I mean small, labor fee. Scott said he totally empathized with what happened and he would've been upset about the situation. So he wanted to help fix it. Dude, Scott!!!! You made a life time customer out of me!!! Thank you so so so much and still appreciate what you did! read more

Advance Auto Engineering - Deeeeeep cut from hitting meta object from road. Went straight thru clear bra, clear coat and paint. :( - Auto Detailing Near Me - Fullerton, California

I used this place before and the tint job was so good that I came back. I will come back in the future as well. They sell one of the best tints out and are great installers. read more

Excellent work by Scott and team! If you need any type of PPF, this place is the one! They are the best in all of Orange County, bar none! I had my new highlander's headlights protected as I don't want them turning dull after a year or so. Seamless work, I'm very satisfied. The shop has tons of exotic cars lined up getting PPF. That says a lot about AAE's quality of craftsmanship. read more

When it comes to anything related with the car.. I AM picky. Very picky and I'm very much alright with that. With that said- Scott hands down is a person whom I trust, whom I can bring my car to- without hesitation at any moment when necessity arises. There are many "skilled" people and choices out there, but he is different. Special. Sincere. Responsible. Detail-oriented. So on.. You name it. But with great overall balance too- words can't explain all I trust him that much. Some pictures of his work on my rare perhaps not so easy to work on 9-5 Aero. read more

Never have had an issue getting my windows tinted at this business. Quality of film tint is GREAT! I had my windows tinted on one of my previous cars at a different location before I found out about this business and was disappointed because the film that the other location used, within a couple of years it faded pretty bad. You do pay a tad bit more here BUT it's worth every penny, film won't fade in time. read more

Scott and his team installed paint protection film (PFF)/clear bra on my new 2020 Mazda Miata over the weekend (Full Front Package, + rocker panels + portions of rear fender/quarter panels). I shopped around extensively before deciding to go with Advance Auto Engineering. There were actually several shops around me that were much closer and similarly priced, but based on the referral from my friend (he has gotten several cars worked on by Scott), stellar online reviews, and several direct conversations with Scott, I ultimately decided it would be worth it to drive 32 miles down from Glendale to Fullerton for this job. And I am so glad I did select their shop! Their work was superb. The PPF came out excellent and you can't even tell that it's there, very impressed!! And they only use top-tier PPF... in my case they used the top-rated Xpel film. Scott and his team were very meticulous and careful with every single detail, and they went above and beyond to make sure the application was done correctly and as perfect as possible. When I brought the car to the shop, I knew I wanted to at least get the Full Frontal Package done, but wasn't 100% sure which (if any) additional parts of the car I wanted to get PPF installed on... and this is where Scott's experience and honesty shined through: he didn't try to upsell me on any products or services I didn't need... he went over all the edges and parts of the car and explained the most common areas rock chipping can occur. And as I mentioned earlier, his pricing is very very competitive... He was one of the lowest quotes i got out of the 10 or so shops I contacted. Scott delivered my finished car on the day he had promised (he gave me estimate of 1-2 days, and got my car back at end of day 2). Just like he had done in the beginning before installation, he went over every detail that they had worked on when I came to pick up car. You can tell that Scott truly cares for his customers and is passionate and knowledgeable about his craft... this is rare in ANY industry nowadays. And Scott was always responsive to my emails, texts, and calls through the process, from start to finish. PPF/clear bras can be very DIFFICULT, and it's a job that most DIY'ers (and even many professional shops) can mess up. If you live in Los Angeles/OC (or heck even outside that), you need to get the job done here with Scott. I believe it will be hard to find a shop that can do PPF as well, as efficiently, and as honestly as Scott and his crew. They stand by their work too, my PFF has 10 year warranty! read more

I went back to Scott to have my front windows done a darker shade as well as do 90% coverage on my front fenders after finding a lot of micro scratches from driving in the snow. As always, super quality work. Scott is a cool guy and so is Sam. I wouldn't take my cars anywhere else for tint or PPF read more

*** Dude, I bought a bra last year that I wear everywhere now! *** That is what I tell all my friends. It really is the new "wonder bra". It supports, it enhances, it's sheer, it's inexpensive and it's clear. That's the best thing about it - nobody knows I'm even wearing it. So now I wear it everywhere I go, and I am damn proud of it! (lol) How much is this "wonder bra" for guys, you ask? It is just $300! Introducing the "Clear Bra" paint protection film for your beloved. It was originally made by 3M, but there are other manufacturers. Auto enthusiasts from coast to coast look for a good shop that can apply this bra technology well. Advance Auto are experts. How it works: a transparent film (like a heavy duty shrink wrap) is applied to your ride to protect it from rock chips, bugs, and tar. They apply it to which ever part that you're concerned about (like front bumper, fenders, hood, head lamps, air dam, side mirrors). Film is cut to fit car contours then applied to adhere permanently. They even sell a $10 spray-on that protects bra from UV sun rays. The result: no paint chips, easy cleaning, no touch-ups necessary. *** So fellas, get a bra and wear it well. You'll thank me later. ;p *** read more

I always go to Scott when I get a new car for window tint and paint protection film install since 2014 when his shop was still in Cerritos. So when I took delivery of my new Tesla Model Y, I immediately contacted him to install an XPEL paint protection film (full front) and rocker panels. He also installed the 3M crystalline window tint all around including my windshield (clear) and the panoramic glass roof. As always, their workmanship is impeccable. He is very professional, friendly and a very skilled installer. I noticed that he is now offering ceramic coating but maybe that's for another time. I'm very happy with the outcome! read more

As we dropped my friend's Lexus IS off at 9:20am, Scott Kim greeted us with a smile. He's a very nice guy, honest and straightforward. He'll tell you the facts that you need to know and answers any questions fully. My friend decided to get the clear bra with coverage of 24" on the hood and fenders. The clear bra that she wanted also covers the full front bumper, fog lights, head lights, and side mirrors. We left and went to our workout class at 24 Hour Fitness in Pasadena, then had lunch at Savoy Kitchen. Scott called around 1pm and said the car was ready to be picked up. We picked up the car about a half hour later and the clear bra installation looked flawless. Scott was still getting a few small air bubbles out of the clear bra after we arrived. He really pays close attention to detail. He showed us how to take care of the clear bra. You should keep it waxed and try to wipe off any bird poop as quickly as possible because it may stain the clear bra if left on too long. Scott said not to wash the car for 3 days to let the clear bra material dry. He recommended a product called ProtectAll to keep the clear bra waxed and showed us how to use the product. Overall, a great experience with Advanced Auto Engineering. I posted a few pictures. I highly recommend Scott and his business. He was about $100 less than other quotes I received from clear bra installers. Cheers! read more

I've taking 2 vehicles to Scott. He's meticulous and friendly. Highly recommend. Clear bra, tinting, he does a bunch of other stuff too.

I wanted to get a partial PPF (aka ClearBra) for my truck. Found Advance Auto Engineering through the XPEL website (authorized dealers section). I called several shops and while I was hesitant to drive all the way to Fullerton, after speaking with the owner, Scott, I knew my truck would be in good hands. Scott is very passionate about his work and takes the time to educate the customer about the various options and the pros and cons of each. When we arrived, he gave us a tour of the facility. The shop was very well kept, customer vehicles (both finished and unfinished) were parked neatly indoors. Scott knew I was coming from far away, and made sure to finish my truck the same day despite my having arrived there later than I originally planned. When I returned to pick it up, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had cleaned up the car and waxed the whole font end (despite only doing a quarter hood/fender and rocker panels). They did an amazing job! You can't even tell anything's on it. No bubbles, no dust particles trapped, everything is nicely aligned. If you are far away and are hesitating - it's absolutely worth the drive! You won't find better value. I will be bringing my other car & recommending Advance Auto Engineering to all my friends/family. read more

One year review. I had my Lexus RX clear bra (complete front) with front window tinted year ago. Bra workmanship is good but not to the detail I expected. Corners and edges ( hood & side mirrors) were short cut. Window tinting shown in a particular lighting you can see the sleek between the tint and the widow. This is not what expect with the price I paid. Very disappointed Reviews are very misleading read more

I had Scott wrapped my 2017 MDX Sport Hybrid in Xpel Ultimate and 3M Tint front windows and windshield. I dropped of the MDX at 9AM sharp Saturday morning and got promptly greeted by Scott . I showed him the work I wanted done. He took note that I wanted to do Xpel clear film to full front bumper, 1/4 hood, 1/4 fender, headlights, mirrors, door sill, door cups, and rear luggage area. I also asked for his recommendations about window tints. And he recommended 3M FX-PM 30 for front windows to match the rear windows and 3M Crystalline 70 for Windshield. I wasn't sure about tinting the windshield since it is illegal in California, but did it anyways after he showed me how much it cut down on the Infrared light (main cause of heat we feeling when driving). After we agreed upon the final pricing, I left Scott with my MDX to start work. He left to go pickup some materials and returned about 1 hour later. While his partner was prepping my car for the clear bra. I didn't want to sit there all day, so I had my wife pick me up. We return about 8 hours later and and was surprised to see Scott was still working on the car, so we went grab some dinner locally. Got a txt from Scott a couple hours later notifying me that the car was ready. We arrived back at his shop around 8PM. I inspected the car and everything looks perfect! I knew Scott was a really good installer, but didn't expect that he would work almost 11 hours on my car straight! Everything came out amazing. Wife and kids was excited to see the MDX getting a "make-over" as my 6 years old called it. Inspect the work again this morning, and I couldn't find any flaws. Amazing work Scott! And he did it mostly by himself! That takes some skills only an experienced installer can do! Thank you again Scott! We love the newly protected and "cool" MDX...ready for a road trip! Highly recommend Scott to anyone looking to do clear bra or tinting. I'll be bringing my other two cars back to Scott for tinting and some vinyl wrapping soon. read more
