    Pretty poor job installing aftermarket bumper. I do not recommend this repair shop!
    D K.

    I had a very disappointing experience at Charles Henry Company. Given what happened involving a simple procedure, I do not recommend this repair shop for any work. I have a Nissan SUV which I like to take off-roading. I asked them to mount an aftermarket front bumper on it and an aftermarket skid plate, and remove the original manufacturer ones. In addition, they would change one of the front fenders since it had gotten too scratched and a little deformed over time. When they told me the car was ready to pick up, it looked really bad. I posted a photo to show it. The bumper was mounted a good 3 inches too low, leaving ugly gaps below the headlamps. They had removed the wheel well liners (which catch mud and water around the wheels) and the original skid plate, but had not mounted the new skid plate. Nor had they re-mounted the wheel well liners. Also they left the original tow hook on, which is not needed with the new off-roading bumper and is now very exposed and unsightly. When I protested that the bumper was not properly mounted, they were able to lift it up a bit so now at least it looks OK. In addition, after this "repair" my car started making a very audible and annoying squeaky noise as it moves. My guess is that the installation of the new fender might be to blame although the noise inside is too vague to pinpoint. Now I need to go somewhere else to finish the job of installing the wheel well liners, skid plate, and remove the tow hook. As well as locate and fix the squeaky noise. In all it will probably cost me double. In the meantime, I can't take the SUV off road without a skid plate, while inviting mud and dust to fill every nook and cranny behind the wheels. When I posted about this in an online off-roading forum, everyone was unanimous that mounting a bumper is a relatively simple task, and if they botched that, there is no telling what could happen with more complex work. Therefore, I am sorry to say that I do not recommend this shop for anything.

    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!

    Very easy and convenient process from start to finish, all done via the Yelp app. Quotes and…read moreresponse times were timely, and the time in and time out times were also on schedule. They are a Llumar dealer and answered all my questions and concerns regarding the opacity, brand, etc. I came for a windshield tint on my Model Y and the finish is immaculate after the curing period. The people were honest and straightforward about care, legality, etc., and left my car in the exact same condition as when I dropped it off. I really have no complaints and nothing bad to say about this shop. Would definitely come back here again for my other cars

I wasn't just looking for a basic clean: I wanted a deep, intentional transformation of my car. Inside and out. Its been YEARS. I had contacted a few different places, but Lim immediately stood out. The way he communicated, his responsiveness (thougutful, caring, considerate), was really meaningful. Even though his portfolio mostly features higher-end luxury vehicles, he didn't make me feel out of place. If anything, he understood what I was trying to do and genuinely wanted to meet me there! The booking process was easy. He walked me through what to expect, and we started sharing photos back and forth. He even pointed out things like chipped paint and small areas of rust that he could help improve--things I hadn't fully considered. And I didn't know could be accomplished (thought I had to go to other shops, etc). Before I even met him in person, I already felt a sense of trust. When I dropped off my car, he did a full walkthrough and pointed out details I didn't initially notice. His quote felt fair, and more importantly, it felt honest. Throughout the process, he kept me updated with progress photos, which I honestly loved! I felt like I was part of the process: getting little previews of something I was really excited about. By the time pickup day came around, I already knew it was going to be special. But seeing it in person was something else. He walked me through everything they did--inside and out. Some areas needed extra care, and he clearly put in that effort. The inside reminded me like when I first got my car. The ceramic coating added that final layer of protection. And he even took the time to recommend other places if I wanted to continue restoring certain parts of the car. All of his recommendations have been stellar, kind, and Im proud to say I was recommended by Lim. What really stood out to me is that he treated my car with the same level of respect and attention as the high-end vehicles he usually works on. He even mentioned that it reminded him of when he first started--when someone is truly invested in transformation. And that's exactly what this experience felt like! Driving my car afterward didn't just feel like driving a clean car--it felt like a reset. It felt empowering. Like stepping into something new. That's exactly what I needed. Lim is not only incredibly skilled at what he does, he's also just a genuinely good human being. You can tell this is someone who cares deeply about his craft and about people. I honestly wish I could give more than five stars. His work speaks for itself! Attaching photos of how shiny, like mirror/glass, the ceramic coating and shine my car has!

You can tell immediately how much he values his team. He treats his staff like family, and it shows in their work. Everyone there genuinely enjoys what they do, and they really do live up to the "OCD" name when it comes to attention to detail. I learned the hard way that not all highly rated Yelp shops deliver real quality. After going to another popular place, a friend pointed out several issues in the work that I had completely missed. Never again! I would much rather pay for top-tier service and have peace of mind than worry about fixing problems later. Most recently, I had a front PPF and tint done on my Tesla, and the results were flawless. OCD Detailing is one of the few places capable of tinting the entire Tesla roof using a single piece, with no seams, and it looks incredible. They were also kind enough to help install hub caps I purchased separately and recommended a great source for blacked-out emblems. My car turned out beautiful. The only downside is that I live in San Francisco, so the drive is a bit out of the way, but it was absolutely worth it. I recommend OCD Detailing to all my friends whenever they're looking for high-quality PPF or tinting. If you care about your car, this is where you take it.

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.

The XPEL XR Plus tint came out perfect as well: super clean install and exactly the look I was going for, while keeping the cabin noticeably cooler. What stood out most was the attention to detail and overall care with the car. It's not just a job to them, they treat it like their own.
