    I've been bringing my cars to this shop for the past few years. Excellent value and service, every single time. They take pride in their work, and have often talked me out of doing unnecessary services that other shops recommend. The owner and his crew truly care about enhancing the look and value of their clients' vehicles. This sets them apart from the rest.

    I've lived in San Diego for about a decade and would consider myself an auto enthusiast, like most who would consider the services of Autoshield. I have had a few vehicles which I've had tinted and ceramic coated over the past few years. I've used a variety of shops in San Diego and interacted with most of the high end shops over the years. I wanted front XPEL PPF for my new SUV and found Autoshield as they are one of two XPEL dealers in SD. There are others which install XPEL, but without being authorized dealers. I am not certain if XPEL would honor their warranty, so I didn't go with those. Other non XPEL PPF don't have a proven track record, but may be okay. I looked around and the reason I chose Autoshield was the owners and the way they run their business - this was evident from my first call with them. As others have mentioned, Eddie and Samana are very hands on and very involved in the day to day work. Eddie took the time to call me back soon after my inquiry and went over all my options. He was very thorough but not at all pushy. It really felt like I was taking advice from a friend rather than getting sold something. A lot of places offer the same type of work and would likely do a good job, but had a lot going on with the family and wanted to get the work done with as little hassle and from a place I knew would stand behind their work if I needed it down the line. I carefully read the reviews for all the places I was considering and this place stood out. Most places have 5 star reviews but also a handful or really bad 1 star reviews. My gut feeling was that Eddie and Samana run their business with care and honesty. I had the sense that if I did need work or warranty claims down the line, they would remember me and treat me like a valued customer despite only meeting briefly. They answered all my questions and were responsive to texts. The work was done meticulously and in a timely manner as promised. They were even able to get me in during a busy time in the summer with only a few days notice. Their prices were similar to other shops in the area, and they were able to work with me a little bit since I did tint, PPF, and ceramic coating. Also Eddie did PPF on the door handles and edges for free.

    Before paint correction, PPF and ceramic coating. Trim replaced only

    I have been using PPF on all my personal vehicles since 1997. At that time there was not many places who installed PPF. I have used a lot of places in town and out of town since then but I have for the last ten years been solely using Eddie and his crew at Autoshield. No other company stands behind their work and product like Autoshield. In my line of business, I am in high end collision repair and PPF is a common place on our clients vehicles. I have had a few hundred vehicles done with our partners at Autoshield and will never use anyone else. Their pricing is on par within the industry. They use XPEL products for PPF, Ceramic Coating and Window Tint. They offer paint corrections and detailing services as well. Trust me when I say these guys can polish a turd. My personal car I just purchased, a 2002 BMW M5 was taken in and transformed to a showroom fresh car that even shocked me being in the collision repair industry twenty eight years now. I did not want to paint the car since the finish was original, but it was rough. These guys paint corrected it, ceramic coated it and detailed the interior to like new. I am super grateful for them. Give Autoshield a shot to earn your business. I am sure you will be as happy as I am with them. Conveniently located off of Miramar road, they are located centrally in San Diego.

    Getting some work done. Looking forward to the finished product. Thanks for the great service.

    Very impressed with Eddie and his team at Autoshield. This is my first time owning a nicer car and I did a lot of research and visited a number of shops before choosing to go with Autoshield. I ended up doing a window tint and PPF on the front of the car and Eddie was super helpful with any questions I had. His team made sure that everything was perfect and despite having to redo a section (because they weren't happy with how it came out), they were still able to get the car done on time. I would highly recommend checking out Autoshield if you're interested in any sort of PPF, wrap or tint for your cars.

    Eddie and his guys did a fantastic job with my MYP. Couldn't be happier with the way it came out. Eddie is a super nice guy and makes you feel comfortable with all your vehicle needs. Got my ppf stealth, tint and vinyl wrapped accents all done in a timely manner with competitive prices. Will definitely be back for any future projects

    We were on the hunt for a local XPEL PPF authorized dealer, and thankfully we chose Autoshield to install our XPEL 'Stealth' PPF after initial conversations with Eddie. From the get-go, Eddie and his wife delivered exemplary customer service and were incredibly responsive to questions and proactive with updates about the job. In addition to PPF, we also ceramic coating done to the body and brake calipers, as well as window-tinting. Customer service aside, the prices were extremely competitive and lower than all of the competition. Lastly, the worksmanship and installation was done very well, and in a timely fashion. The whole team there was extremely kind and courteous. I would *highly* recommend Autoshield for anyone in the San Diego and Southern California area looking for PPF, tint, and ceramic coating needs.

    Cannot possibly say enough good things about Eddie and the team at Autoshield. I would have been nervous about leaving my 1-day old Lucid Air GT with any shop but once I got to Autoshield and met with Eddie, I was instantly put at ease. It was obvious that the entire team was passionate about their work and treated customers' cars as if they were their own. I asked for a lot (whole body PPF, tint of all windows and roof, "chrome" delete, matching rims to new roof color) on a car that had just been released at the time. They kept me updated regularly on the progress of the job and when I saw the final product, I was amazed! Thank you guys for making my Lucid Air one-of-kind!

    Tesla Y Performance in Midnight Silver Metallic with Xpel Stealth PPF installed, plus ceramic coating.

    I brought my Tesla Y Performance to Autoshield in San Diego. Worked with Eddie to install the Xpel Stealth paint protection film (PPF) and also the Xpel Ceramic Coating. I'm very choosy when it comes to services like this because I only want to deal with the best. Well, Eddie is the best! I give this wrap a 10 out of 10. They got the corners and edges perfect, protected my door handles, headlights, and all painted surfaces. The whole look of the car is now a matte satin finish and the ceramic coating makes cleaning it a breeze! I would highly recommend Autoshield for your next wrap service. These guys are legit!!

    Amazing work, thanks AutoShield!

    Just purchased my new Volvo XC40 Recharge, and knew I wanted to get it protected and tinted. Did my due diligence and got quotes from several different shops around SD County for full front PPF and all around window tints. Based on all the quotes I got, and reviews I saw on Yelp, I decided to give Autoshield a shot. Right from the beginning, Samana (Eddie's wife) was super communicative and patiently answered all my questions. Once I took delivery of the vehicle, I reached out to see if I could schedule an appointment for these services. I fully expected to be waiting a couple weeks as I knew the shop was very busy. To my surprise, Samana told me they could squeeze me in to drop off my vehicle the same day. Turn around time was only 2 days, and after taking a thorough look at the vehicle, both the PPF and tint was done flawlessly, the PPF was done using modified pre-cuts and bulk install, and coverage is great with almost no visible gaps anywhere. Tint is also looking great, and I know it'll serve me well once it starts to warm up again. Thanks Eddie, Samana, and the installers who did a great job on my car. 100% recommend Autoshield for anyone looking for these services. They do great work, are super friendly, and take care of you like family. Will definitely be coming back here for all of my paint protection/tint needs.

    See all

What also stood out is that they're using a legitimate professional system, not off-the-shelf products, and applying it properly.

    I brought my new Lexus GX 550 in for the Ultimate Armour package (just under $5k)…read more Scheduling and drop-off were both straightforward and easy, so no complaints there. Where things started to slip was on the pickup side. I was told the car was ready, but still ended up waiting about 30-40 minutes before actually getting it. At checkout, I was also surprised to see a tip screen with suggested amounts that felt pretty high given the service. I ended up leaving a small tip, but the experience itself didn't really match that level of expectation. I also would have appreciated a quick walkthrough of the work that was done--especially at that price point--but it was more of a quick handoff of the keys. I came back for the 10-day follow-up and made a point to ask about timing ahead of time. I was told it would take about an hour. I arrived early, but after an hour the car hadn't been touched yet, and there wasn't any update unless I asked. That part was frustrating. So, they ended up rushing my 10-day follow-up inspection. Gave the car a quick rinse and handed me the keys. What was the point of driving down from Carlsbad??? Over 3 hours wasted. For comparison, I had a great experience at their Kearny Mesa location previously, so I know what they're capable of. This location is stretched thin, which seemed to impact communication and overall service. I was not the only customer in the lobby feeling this way. Given the type of clientele they're working with and the pricing, I was expecting a bit more consistency and attention to detail. Their follow-up consisted of more sales pitches of coupons for services I already had done. Would have been nice to have the discounts PRIOR to the work! I planned on using the wash program and mentioned to Jasmine my poor service experience. Think there was follow-up? Nada. So, thumbs "kind of" up for Ceramic Pro but thumbs down for this location. Overall, I think the company itself does good work, and have used the Kearny Mesa location in the past several times with excellent success!! I would not choose this location again.

Not wanting the risk of dealing with pesky old tint, I opted to source this work out to a professional. I reached out to several tinting professionals. Almost all of them offered different manufacturer tints as well as wildly different prices. What made Joseph stand out was the combination of offering mobile service, his prompt/professional communication throughout, and competitive pricing. After deciding to proceed with Joseph, we arranged a time to complete the work as well as confirming if power would be available on site. He provided early communication to ensure I was aware of him arriving for his work. Upon arrival, he had a truck load of different tints from MaxPro as well as an info packet with sample tint swabs. Once I made a decision, he proceeded with the removal which was relatively straightforward and caused no damage to the vehicle (he did make me aware that there was the possibility of damage beforehand). He then proceeded to tint the vehicle, but ran into an issue with the wind having foreign plant debris flying towards the car since it was outside. We ultimately decided to rearrange the work for another day since relocating the car was not an option. He arrived on a later day and completed the tint job without issue. The end product fitment is excellent and looks really clean. I'd highly recommend considering Joseph for your tinting needs. He will be my go to tinter moving forward and the guy I'll recommend to anyone else who's looking to get some tint installed.

    We recently had Paint Protection Film installed on our brand new BMW Z4 M40i in Frozen Grey II…read moreMetallic, and Film Werkz absolutely exceeded every expectation. This car is not an easy PPF job. The factory matte paint alone is a challenge, as I wanted the film to match perfectly in finish, sheen, and texture so that it would be as invisible as possible. On top of that, the Z4 has a massive clamshell hood that's wider than standard PPF rolls, plus very aggressive front and rear bumper designs with sharp angles, ducts, grills, and tight transitions. This is not a car you hand to "just any" shop. We protected all major high-impact areas: front bumper, headlights, full hood, rocker panels, and the entire rear bumper. From the very first interaction, Daniel at Film Werkz was head and shoulders above every other shop we contacted. I sent a very detailed inquiry with specific questions about materials, installation techniques, edge handling, and long-term durability. Daniel took the time to respond thoughtfully to every point with explanations clearly born out of real experience -- not boilerplate marketing answers. He even shared a recent Z4 M40i with the exact same Frozen paint that they had just completed, which instantly gave us confidence we were in the right hands. When we picked the car up, it looked stunning because the install was so invisible it looked like nothing had been done -- which is exactly how a perfect PPF install should look. The film is practically undetectable unless you know where to look. No visible seams, excellent tucking, flawless transitions between protected and unprotected panels, and even the feel of the surface matches the factory matte paint. The hood is one large piece of film stretched and installed perfectly. The rear bumper was also done in a single piece and looks phenomenal. The front bumper -- especially around the emblem and complex openings -- is immaculate. I've been a gearhead for over 25 years and do much of my own work, so when I have to take a car "out of house," I vet shops like a vendor reviewing a subcontractor. We contacted five highly rated shops in the San Diego area, and from the first response onward, Film Werkz stood apart. Pricing was very competitive, but more importantly, Daniel instilled complete confidence that our car was being handled by a true craftsman who understands both the material and the long-term consequences of every decision. During the install, we actually increased the scope of work, and Daniel handled it seamlessly -- with transparent pricing, no pressure, and the same attention to detail throughout. Film Werkz is exactly the kind of small boutique shop I was hoping to find -- focused, meticulous, and run by someone who genuinely shares a passion for cars. Daniel has earned a lifelong customer, and Film Werkz is now our only go-to shop for PPF, tint, vinyl, or any vehicle enhancement work. Highly, highly recommended.

Daniel and his team treat every car as if it were their own, and the level of detail they put into their work is something you do not see often in this industry. I first brought in my personal car for PPF and ceramic coating, and the outcome completely exceeded my expectations. The film install was seamless, the finish was flawless, and the way the coating transformed the depth and clarity of the paint was next level. It made the car look better than brand new. Since then, every personal vehicle I own goes straight to them before it sees any real miles. They protect everything, from the daily drivers to the higher end builds, and the quality is consistent every time. They catch the small things most shops overlook and refuse to cut corners on anything. That is why their work holds up long term and continues to look good even after months of driving. Daniel is the kind of owner you want behind a shop. Honest, responsive, and skilled. He explains exactly what he is doing, why it matters, and what to expect. You can tell he takes real pride in his craft and in the reputation of Film Werkz. If you care about your car and want it protected and finished by people who take the work seriously, this is the place. I will not take my personal vehicles anywhere else.
