So pleased with the experience and work performed by B & L Auto Decor to install a clear bra on my new vehicle. Bill and Lucy were so professional, so easy to speak with and everything could not have gone any smoother. The bra looks fantastic and was applied with such skill and care. I did my homework before opting to go with B & L and their pricing simply can't be beat. Such a fair price, responsive to any and all questions, and a true commitment to ensuring I'm happy with their work for the duration of the products expected lifespan. Would not think twice about recommending B & L or returning for future needs. A truly great automotive experience! read more

I am very impressed with Bill and Lucy. They were very professional and accommodating. The clear bra they installed was incredible and nearly unnoticeable. The work was done incredibly fast and the price was more than affordable. If you need a clear bra on your vehicle, this is the place. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

Bill and Lucy are the best and most professional good people in the automotive industry. Their clear bra's are nothing short of perfect every single time I've used them. read more

I recently purchased a new Cadillac ATS and was concerned about road damage occurring during my frequent ski trips. After hearing about "Clearbra" and B&L from friends, I decided to have one installed on my new car. I contacted Bill and Lucy for a quote and setup an appointment. Bill recommended what pieces I should use for my car and answered all my questions, he's a very friendly and knowledgeable guy. I took my car over the night before and Bill met me and made sure my car was safely stored inside. The next day my car was ready when promised and they had even included a few extra pieces of protection "on the house". Bill and Lucy are both very nice to deal with and know their business, the quality of their work is excellent. If you want to protect your car and are considering a Clearbra I would recommend calling B&L. read more

This is my 2nd review of B & L Auto Decor. Not only is the service here excellent, the Venture Shield product is amazing as well. I got a significant dent and some scraping on the lower front bumper of my 2013 Avalon Hybrid. The clear bra was pretty mangled along the bottom edge. Took it to a body shop, which quoted me $1,600 for the repair (which included replacing the clear bra). Before committing to that, I took it to Bill to find out how much he would charge to replace the clear bra instead of having the body shop do it. He took out his heat gun, popped out the dent, and replaced that section of the clear bra. No paint damage at all, due to that incredible clear bra, and no dent, due to Bill's expertise. I thank heaven I checked with him before having the body shop repair it. Every time I've dealt with them, B & L Auto Decor has earned the 5 star reviews they've gotten. Bill and Lucy are professionals, they take their time and do the job right using a great product, and they don't try and stick you for some exorbitant price. I highly recommend them (again). read more

I am here visiting from Alaska and my mother had purchased a new vehicle. Bill and his wife went above and beyond great customer service. The product was all and more that was explained and would recommend B & L to anyone. Thank you B & L. read more

B & L Auto Decor is the only place in California I would trust to install the 3m Venture Sheild Product (aka. clear bra) Excellent Customer Service, Efficiency, Professionalism Bill and Lucy's shop is immaculate and Bill's work is performed in a meticulous fashion. Bill installed Venture Shield on my inferno orange metallic with black stripes 2010 2ss Camaro and added a nice touch of blacking out the gills and then later installed the OEM front and rear SS badges. I heard B & L moved the operation... anyone know where? read more

Bill was great! He took great care with my vehicle, and it looks amazing. No bubbles, nice finish, great work. He was also very accommodating. I had to keep rescheduling my car because of delays on when I was to receive it from the dealer, and he said not to worry at all. He let me drop my car off at night after I got off work and it was ready to pick up the next day. His pricing was also very reasonable. He does the work out of his garage so I assume he saves a lot on overhead. Definitely would recommend. read more

I took our 2013 Passat in to get the clear bra put on. I was met by Bill and was assured the car would look great. Shake of the hand, hand off of the key and I was on my way. I got the call that the car was ready and went down to pick it up. As I am looking over the work, it was amazing! The lines were straight and everything on Bill's end was flawless. His workmanship is not the issue here. As I am looking over everything, I notice a small black dot on the hood. I point this out, explain that I am a bit OCD. The response I got from Bill, was that he has been having trouble with the manufacturer and it is under the film. He says that he can redo the hood for me if I have the time. He also states that he had to do the hood on the Camaro out front, three times. I have no issues with waiting and said okay. Then I notice something small, looked to be water under the film on the bumper. He feels it, confirms that there is something there and this is when things get way out of hand. He tells me to start peeling film and that I can always take my car somewhere else. I think he is joking, until he violently starts tearing the film off my car. I am in disbelief and Lucy is even trying to calm him down; and tell him to stop. He starts getting a little loud and says that he would rather not collect a dime from me, then me telling people that it wasn't perfect. I am just standing there and trying to tell him he is out of line and to stop, but he continues to peel every single piece of film off the car. Lucy is trying to apologize to me and is reiterating the fact that it's the manufacturer. I never doubted that and was very satisfied with the quality of work... If it is what it is, explain that to me, offer me a discount, or do something other than what was done. I have never felt so belittled, so awkward, frustrated and sick to my stomach. I am in complete disbelief at what just happened and am having trouble processing it. To peel it off right in front of me and tell me that it's only paint protection. That for the price I was paying, I won't get that anywhere else, is by far the most unprofessional and discrediting thing to their reputation that Bill could have done. If you are having issues with your product, that is out of my hands. All I ask as a customer, is that you don't take it out on me... read more

I wanted to protect the pristine jewel-like finish of my new 2013 Toyota Prius (level 5), so I searched for installers of clear bra products. I'm of the type who researches products and services ad nauseam, and through my investigation the shop everybody seemed to recommend was B & L Auto Decor, in Roseville, CA. I gave B & L a call and chatted with Lucy about their services. Lucy took the time to explain the clear bra service they offered, the price options, and how her business partner and husband, Bill, take extreme pride in meeting and exceeding EVERY customer's expectations in service, quality, and price. Lucy went on to tell me they have computer patterns for just about every known vehicle, so I felt assured there wasn't any issue in them having the pattern needed for my specific Prius model. Lucy quoted me a price to have the full front bumper, half of each front fender, the leading half of the hood, and each leading edge of the rearview mirrors covered with clear bra. She said they could throw in a few extra "surprises" too. The price she quoted was very competitive. I never go with the low price because I find I typically end up paying more, some way or another, in the end. Lucy said they were currently out about a week in the schedule for an appointment. I wanted the clear bra applied as soon as possible as I was avoiding highway travel and associated stone chips, so I did schedule an appointment for the next week. Lucy invited me to call back if I had any questions before my appointment and said she or Bill would do their best to answer any questions or concerns I had. I left my conversation with Lucy feeling very good about B & L, which ended up to be true! I did have a question before my appointment. It dealt with the clear bra applied only on half of the hood and if I'd be happy with that look; I was concerned about seeing the edge of the clear bra running halfway through the hood. I called B & L and reached their voice mail and left a message stating my concern. Within an hour I received a return call from Bill. Bill understood my concern and spent a generous amount of his time explaining what I could expect from the half-hood application. He did say he could apply the clear bra to the entire hood, but at an added cost, which wasn't too expensive given he would need to use a much wider roll of material to cover the full depth of the hood. He explained Porsche and Corvette owners tend to go with the full hood application. My Prius is certainly not in the category those vehicles, but I wanted a clean look and now I had a decision to make. Bill said I could make that decision upon dropping my vehicle off with him. I was pleased to arrive at B & L. Located in a small, modern and safe industrial business park in Roseville, B & L is a spotlessly clean and very organized facility. I met Lucy and Bill, who met me with smiles and assurance that I be well taken care of. What an understatement! Bill went over every aspect of the application, explaining how the product is applied, how long it lasts, the benefits of the product, how he stands behind his work, how he'd replace certain panels of products should they become damaged, and on and on. This guy is a perfectionist and takes tremendous pride in his work and in his B & L business name! We then talked about the half versus full hood application. Bill quoted me the option of applying the half-hood now, just to save me money, and if I really didn't like the look, he would work with me in price on replacing the half hood with the full. I thanked him for his offer, but deep down I knew I'd be happier with the full hood treatment now, which I ended up selecting and couldn't be happier! Lucy offered to drive me to my office (in her super cool and tricked out Camaro - about a ten minute ride), which I gladly accepted, and she even offered to pick me up in the afternoon when the car would be ready. I made it back to B & L by myself to pick the Prius up and was so impressed with the quality of work done. Bill even installed those extra "surprises" for me, like the top rear bumper protection, interior door sill protection, and exterior door-handle-cup liners. Bill went so far as to install my front license plate drill plug covers (www.bumperplugs.com), which I had in the vehicle and told him about upon my arrival, and he even covered those with clear bra material (yes, I'm in violation of not displaying a front plate in California...). Bill once again went over a few tips on maintaining the clear bra and handed me a warrantee package. Truly exceptional service and quality, and a pleasure to do business with. read more

I took my new black car to Bill to have a clear bra put on. I'm very picky with my vehicles and specifically this one being black I was a little nervous to have anyone work on it for fear of scratching etc. After talking with Bill and then bringing my car in to have the product installed I was comfortable that this was the right place. The shop is clean and organized and they got right to work. Bill was very nice, explained the process and I was sure that he would treat my vehicle the way I would. When I picked it up, I could not have been happier. Bill is a craftsman, I could hardly see the clear bra (until he showed me where it was). He clearly takes pride in his work and was as happy as I was with the clean install. If you are in the area and considering the clear bra product B&L is the only place to go. read more

I have been doing business with B & L for two years and have had two cars done by them. Each time the cars were done on time and exceeded my expectations. I recently bought a new Equus and had the clear bra put on in all the places recommended. I then had to have the rocker panel painted and part of it included the shield that I just had installed. When my car was returned from Hyundai, I stopped by B & L and asked to have the piece of the shield put on again. Bill did not hesitate to put a new piece on and even did the other side, while I waited (all at no charge). Talk about customer service. I have found that if Bill has time, he bends over backwards to make his customers happy. read more

Awesome Job on my Jeep Grand Cherokee! I got B&L's name from one of the local body shops - they recommended Bill's work. I wasn't disappointed. Bill is meticulous and does all the work himself. This is not an assembly-line mass operation. Bill made clear how long it would take and that he'd need the car for that period. Everything is perfect and has held up very well. When I first got it, I thought that there were swirls in it - then I took off my polarized sunglasses and realized it was them! Professional job done on time. I couldn't be more pleased. read more

I would recommend anyone to have it in writing, what you and the owner (Bill) had agreed on your expectations in reference to the work to be done in your vehicle before you leave B & L place of business. My own experience with them was that: they don't have good business practice in following the work order and neither respect you as customer. Their language is inappropriate and follow ups are poorly. "Takes Years to built up customers and take Seconds to lose them!" read more

Prius crossed 4 years and nearly 60K. Clear bra is still holding up well. Thanks again!

Bill and Lucy are the best. They are by far the easiest and best Auto Service folks out there in my opinion. They have done 4 cars for me and the product is amazing and service is better. Thank you both! read more

Had stripes installed today and they look excellent! Bill did a great job and got it done earlier than expected. Thanks Bill!

A few weeks ago I took my beautiful, brand new 2015 Mustang to Bill to put on very detailed glossy black racing stripes. This was the first mod to this car which I drove directly to B&L Auto Decor from the dealership after picking it up. I had met with Bill several times since last July when I ordered it from the factory. Together we designed a combination of striping with wide stripes and pin stripes and a strip with "MUSTANG GT" on the rocker panels of the doors. I also ,at his suggestion, had him add a clear bra strip on the front grill area. I designed what I wanted on the striping and Bill would do a virtual display on the computer to show what it would look like in any configuration I would come up with. He would also make suggestions based on his vast resivoir of experience. Then he would take some tape and lay it on the car to confirm what the computer projection it would actually look like with the end result. Bottom line is I had a guy who would patiently work with me to achieve the end result I wanted. I am a perfectionist and so is he. He is artistic and has the old fashioned work ethic of do it right the first time and do whatever it takes to make it perfect. His pricing is reasonable for this level of quality, he is very dependable on doing what he says he will do when he says he will do it. He is extremely easy to work with and this is my second time using his services. 3 years ago he put a complete clear bra on my wife's Corvette. In fact after seeing my beautiful stripe job she wants to have him add racing stripes to her Vette. Everywhere I go people will run over to the car and comment how beautiful it is. I highly recomend this company! read more

Use this company at your own risk. You may experience the owner yelling at you or your family. You may experience the owner accusing you of having too high of an expectation. (I would not accept a yellow piece of something under the film of my door as well as a patched-in area under the door handle). His statement was to suggest that the clear bra was just a condom to protect the car and that it didn't matter how it looked. The other three doors were great and all he had to do was suggest that we tear this one door off and redo it. I would have gladly worked with him on that. You may experience the owner telling you after you previously agree on a price that the amount was not good enough to do the job correctly. You may have the owner accuse you of not following through on something. You may have the owner communicate rudely and unprofessionally to you. You may have the owner ask your family to stand outside in the freezing cold while he holds your car hostage. We paid him what we agreed on...He started to say something like, If you try and stop the check.....My wife shut him down there. We are not those kind of people. His check will go through and I will have someone else tear off the driver's door and do it correctly... There is no reason for anyone to treat a customer the way he did... No reason. read more

If you want to put a clear bra on your vehicle I couldn't think of two nicer people to have the job done by. We did ours today 1-31-2013 on our 2013 C6 GS 60th Anniversary and it's flawless. You can't even tell it is there. Got it home, put a wet towel to soften up the bugs like I was told and they wiped clear. Erv and Jennie read more

Bill and Lucy do an awesome job! If you want the job done right the first time, at a fair price and with top quality materials, you need to get your car protected from B&L! These guys know what they are doing! I've had them do 4 of my vehicles now and the work is flawless. Some of the vehicles have had the film now for 3-5 years and it still looks like new! read more

I was referred to Bill by a good friend. I called and set up an appointment that was a month away, their next availability. A month later, I called on a Friday to confirm my appointment and Lucy indicated my appointment was on the Monday coming up. I explained I was coming from Elk Grove and had to see how best to bring my van to them. They said I could drop it off Sunday but to let them know. I told her if I can't bring it Sunday, I'll be there Monday morning. Something came up that Sunday so I wasn't able to drop off the van. I showed up Monday early morning at 7:30 am, Bill was out picking up cars from the dealer. He said I was supposed to drop it off Sunday. I explained how I had to tend to family so I couldn't make it. I asked if I could hang out at the shop or get a ride somewhere but Bill told me they didn't have a car to take me and I couldn't stay in the shop as they lock up for lunch. I was told the job was going to take 6 hours because of the other cars. Ok, I had an appointment set for a month long plus they were going to work on my van so I would have allowed them to drive it to drop me somewhere. I had even planned to walk some place to wait for the day if needed. Bill just kept insisting it would be better to just reschedule my appointment. All this while I was sitting in front of his shop and yes, he knew I was there. I didn't just drive from Elk Grove to Roseville in 7:00 am traffic for nothing. They have very poor customer service and no regards for people and their time, especially for being a referral. I guess my $700 cash wasn't good enough?!? I would never recommend them to anyone! In fact, it must have been a blessing because I found a better shop that did an outstanding job and was definitely worth my time and money! Keep an eye out for that review... read more

Bill just installed a clear bra on my new corvette. I couldn't be happier. His professionalism is impeccable. He explained in detail the benefits of the clear bra, the installation process and how to take care of it. Because it's a new car, I am very protective of it. What can I say; he treated it like it was his own. He exceeded my highest expectations. I would recommend his work to anyone. Thank you Bill. read more

Great to work with. They installed clear bra on the front of my z06. Takes pride in his work. I'm meticulous with my car and they were able to treat my corvette z06 as if it was his own. Will return in the future. Catered to my busy work schedule and kept me in the loop during the process. read more

Bill did an OUTSTANDING job on our new BMW and we couldn't be happier! Customer service was great, he was very attentive and the quality of work was stellar. He also added film to areas for no charge. I highly recommend B&L Auto Decor and will definitely be referring them to friends and family! read more

I just picked up my 2013 Boxster S. Bill did a fantastic job with a full wrap on the front end. Absolutely flawless. I would recommend B&L Auto Decor to anyone. read more

I have known Bill and Lucy Smathers for some time. They have worked on my 2010 SS/RS Camaro and now my 2014 2SS/RS. They have installed Clear Bra on the entire front end, side mirrors and door sills. In addition they installed 3M 1080 vinyl hood, trunk, gills and rear spoiler. They have never disappointed me with their work, professionalism, honesty, and dependability. Bill (today 10/29/15) replaced the prior installed 3M 1080 vinyl because of some slight imperfections (not Bill's work, the product) it can be seen on his YouTube site (Crystal Red Matelic Tint Coat) using an amazing product that cuts a straight line without the use of any blades! Worth the look. Both Bill and Lucy are patient and dependable and always keep in touch with me during the process of installation. I have re assembled everything and it looks amazing! I would highly recommend them over other shops that are more a production/assembly line process. Check them out, you will not be disappointed! AWESOME PEOPLE....... read more

It is rare that I am so inspired as to write a review, but this is one of those instances where the customer service we received was so beyond the normal experience, I have to share my fantastic experience with this company. Bill was extremely helpful and personable when I called to inquire about prices, services, and options. He patiently answered all of my questions. He did not up-charge me when he found out I had a Maserati. I made the appointment and my husband took our car in. My husband missed the driveway (despite the detailed directions Bill gave us!) and he pulled off to the side of the road to figure out where to go. Up pulls a car beside him. Bill had recognized our car and got in his own car to pull up beside my husband and had him follow him back to the shop! Bill gave my husband a ride to his office and the clear bra we ordered was installed that day. The workmanship is beautiful and Bill even threw in some extra pieces to protect various other vulnerable areas such as the door edges, and top back fender near the trunk. I was amazed! And at a fraction of the cost the Maserati dealer had quoted. And it is warranted. We could not be happier. Thank you Bill. It was a true pleasure working with you! We are telling all of our friends. read more
