    Best Auto Detailer in Arizona!! My truck seats were stained and completely discolored. They restored them back to brand new!!! Customer service was beyond amazing. Armando, Brianna & Myra were highly informative and always responded through text asap; even with changes to the initial request. All in all come here if you want honest pricing and A+ quality expert work. Thank You! Armando, Brianna & Myra!

    The Formula G team is there for you. They do amazing work. I had gone on a forest road near Sedona, and picked up some minor clear coat scoring on both sides of my vehicle. I was visiting Scottsdale and planned to leave town a couple days later. The team took my project on despite a very busy schedule and got it done the next day. Not only did they work me in to a busy schedule, but they dropped me off and picked me up when the work was done. The vehicle looked like new. Great work! Great people!

    I needed a spoiler installed on my 2016 Ford Mustang GT, and DynoComp recommended Formula G. I gave them a call for a quote, and they asked for me to come in so they could take a look at the vehicle and spoiler. The shop is clean; the staff is friendly and professional, gave me a tour, and explained their services. The quote was very reasonable, and scheduling was easy. I had to reschedule due to unforeseen circumstances, and it was super easy to get a hold of them and reschedule by phone, email, or text. On the installation day, I dropped off my car, made it super simple, fast and correctly installed.I will recommend them to anyone who needs auto detailing, wrapping, tinting, and other miscellaneous services. I am happy I found a reputable company and cannot wait to continue working with them for my future projects. Thank you, Formula G!

    I have used this company Get Formula G Twice now. I had them vinyl wrap a 2013 Tesla Mode S satin dark grey which turned out great unfortunately I ended up totaling my Tesla and bought a 2019 Tesla Model 3 which they ended up wrapping satin rising sun which turned out horrible a lot of miss cuts / wrap hanging out I had to bring my Tesla back to get refixed as it was still under warranty . I recently decided to unwrap the Tesla because I'm currently selling it and there are ALOT of cuts they used adhesive which actually made the paint peel when I was getting it unwrapped I would highly suggest not going to this company down below will pictures of the wrap/convo with Chris the owner of get formula G I will not be recommending anyone here anymore.

    Chris and his crew are rockstars!!! Did an amazing job installing ceramic tint for my son's WRX. I strongly recommend Formula G to anyone looking to get the best bang for their dollar.

    Amazing store with Amazing people. Got my wrap, tint and wheels done with the Formula G team. If your based on price?, you'll get what you paid for. I got exactly what I paid for. Took a bit longer but, their knowledge and service was great. Thanks guys I'll be bringing in my wife's Escalade

    It's not often I take time to rave about a local business but I want to take a moment to introduce you to Chris Gamboa at Performance Auto Network/Formula G in Scottsdale Airpark at 15816 N. Greenway-Hayden Loop Ste 500, Scottsdale, AZ 85260. He and his team of professional installers specialize in vehicle wraps, custom tires/wheels, stereo, tint, clear bras, detailing, vehicle alterations, lifts, exhausts, etc. We had Chris and his team wrap my wife's 2012 Durango and change it from the everyday white to 3M Matte Metallic Cherry with the chrome delete package and satin black roof and grill. If you have a desire to personalize your car you owe it to yourself to call Chris and have a conversation. His number is 602-370-9755...tell him Kirk sent you. Thank you for reading.

    Got my car ceramic coated. Turned out great! Guys were super friendly and very nice. Kind of new shop so the sales people are a little disjointed. Talk to the owner Chris if you need to. Their speciality is wraps. They replaced my clear bra and it came out perfect!! Highly recommend.

    Wrap peeling off Tesla 1 wk after completion

    BUYER BEWARE of DECEIVER: My consumer experience with Chris and formula G was full of deceit, lies and deception from the very beginning. Chris's pitch from the get go was that of a big-time scammer. He greeted me with a big smile and pitched me VIP treatment and how he's moving me to the front because I was important. Chris described how great my cars were going to look and that the wrap would be strong and done to perfection on my Tesla and that the paint protection film on my Maybach would also be done to perfection. However, it was all a deceitful misrepresentation just to reel me in and get my money. And it worked because Chris can be very convincing with his nice guy routine and that is why I feel the need to place this review on yelp and warn everybody. I will also be placing a review on Google and a video on YouTube. I only went to Chris because he was recommended to me by somebody at Mercedes-Benz where I bought my 2022 Maybach. What a big mistake! EXTREMELY BAD SLOPPY SERVICE: Chris agreed to do full body wrap on my 2020 Tesla model X long-range and full body paint protection on my 2022 Mercedes Maybach. Chris messed up both my cars. Three days after I got my Tesla back paint was coming off the letters that spelled Tesla. He left big, long streaks on the back window of my Mercedes Maybach. A week after I got my Tesla back the wrap was peeling off from numerous corners of the car and other parts of the car such as both mirrors. A bunch of bubbles started popping up all over the place, especially the mirrors. Bubbles were popping up on my Mercedes too and these bubbles could not be repaired and the whole section of the car would have to be redone. Chris failed to have the paint protection cover numerous parts of my Mercedes Maybach which is a $250,000 car. You will see all of this in the attached photos. it was just terrible bad work with no regard for the customer. NO ACCOUNTABILITY AND WITHOUT CARE: When I showed Chris photos of the paint coming off my car and photos of the wrap coming apart within one week of completion, Chris just shrugged it off and said that's normal. Of course it is not normal. Its just extremely bad work. Chris gave me back my Tesla filthy and dirty. The inside was never detailed as was part of the package I paid for. When I mentioned this to Chris, he just looked at the inside of my car and shrugged it off telling me how hard his people worked. No accountability at all even when the terrible work is right in front of him. Chris should not be detailing cars and he certainly should not be detailing luxury cars. DETAILED PHOTOS - I can talk all day about the terrible service I received from Chris and formula G but the best way to warn everyone is to show detailed photos. I could only fit so many photos but the wrap on my Tesla is coming off all over the car and Chris failed to cover over a dozen parts of my Mercedes Maybach. This will be shown on the video that I will be posting soon. Anyway, you can get an idea of his work by looking at these photos.

    The Golf Anything wrap by Formula G

    Chris and his team did an excellent job on the wrap for our Golf Anything Smart Car. From design, production and after care I am very happy to have used them. Paul / Golf Anthing

    My wife's car was absolutely filthy , inside and out, and now it looks like a new car. You guys should charge more! Thank you very much for the great service and attention to detail.

    For the love of god, do not give these guys your money or business. The following is a shortened version of all the issues I had. Every step of the way there was poor communication. Every time they said they would do something, they failed to deliver on it. I was given endless excuses and no attempt to make things right other than to keep my truck longer. After initially meeting Chris (owner) and Tyler (general manager) on October 29th I picked some colors but told them I was not in a rush to get the truck wrapped. Over the following two weeks Tyler texted me multiple times to check when I could pay my 50% deposit. I paid my deposit on Nov 14th I had to follow up 4 separate times between Nov 15th and Nov 27th week before I got an answer when they could put me on their schedule. They had to ask me 3 separate times what colors I wanted. Scheduled start was Dec 11th with the wrap taking 5 days. On Dec 13th I stopped by the shop 3 times between 10:30am and 1:30pm to check on the progress and grab something out of my truck. No one was there all day, Chris and Tyler both did not answer multiple calls and texts. At this point I was getting more concerned as there were a lot of red flags starting to pop up. Finally around 4pm Tyler called me and apologized saying he didn't have his phone on him or he was just getting back to his phone and acted confused that no one was there. On Thursday Dec 14th I stopped by at 1pm to check on the progress and Tyler was just beginning to disassemble the truck for the wrap. Not one section of the wrap had been done yet. My truck sat in their shop for 3 days untouched. Every time I asked a question I was given an excuse that didn't add up. Friday morning Chris told me the truck would be done between 5:30-6pm. I texted Chris at 4:21pm to ask if the truck would still be done by 6pm. At 5:30pm he finally responded and told me he had to drive to Mesa to "pick up a few things for them to finish the truck" and explicitly told me "I want you to know we are not rushing and we're installing normal as possible". I again asked him when the truck would be done and his response was "tonight" and didn't give me a time. After more excuses I decided to wait until Saturday to pick it up. He said it would be ready at 10am and when I arrived to the shop at 10:13am and no one was there. When Chris did finally arrive he didn't acknowledge me, didn't open the door and let me in, instead I stood outside the front door with no clue what was going on for another 10 minutes before finally pulling around the front with my truck at 10:25am. The truck was dusty and had not been cleaned and while I began walking around the truck Chris went inside to get a vacuum and spray bottle to clean it. The invoice specifically stated "Full body exterior/interior detail" as well as "Wheel and engine bay detail". None of this was done, in fact the only wash the truck got was from Cobblestone down the street because they left a blue rag from there in the bed of the truck. I walked around the truck and pointed out all the issues but did not want these guys to have my truck any longer. There were bubbles and dirt under the wrap and his told me they would "settle" after a few days. The wrap was already peeling in some areas, body panels were not removed so you can see the body paint on the seems. My backup camera and passenger door handle no longer function. I now need to pay for my backup camera and door to be fixed as well as have a new wrap installed. I reached out to Chris to ask for a refund because I had no confidence in giving them my truck again to fix any of these issues and I was highly unsatisfied with the wrap. His response was "NO REFUNDS". I wish their pricing was at least cheap so I could say this is what I get for trying to save money but for $4554 this company was an absolute joke to do business with. For the love of god, do not give these guys your money or business.

I brought my 2026 Tesla Model 3 here for some tint and things did not go as planned but Josh was super friendly and did everything he could to make the situation right. Below I describe my experience, which involves fully tinting every piece of glass on my Tesla, which is the most difficult vehicle model to tint. I wouldn't pass on Copperstate Motor Club solely based on the below review. The first go-around with the tint didn't turn out as expected. I had opted to tint my Tesla's six side windows, back window, sunroof, and windshield in the MaxPro MaxIR, which is their top of the line film. I wanted maximum heat and UV protection from the harsh Arizona sun, even though I was having the tint done in January. Josh was super friendly and communicative during the process and my tint job took all day. When I went to pick up the car there was a good amount of soap running down the sides of the car but Josh had free QR codes for the car wash near his shop. Even though the QR code didn't work for me, I was able to spray. the car down with some spot free rinse water to get the soap off. Fast forward to a few days later and I noticed some large bubbles on the driver side door and windshield not going away and then I noticed in other areas around the car, there were some dust particles and hair trapped in between the tint and the glass. I also noticed some hardcore streaking on one of the windows and some tint on the sunroof that didn't look like it was cut correctly as the tint didn't cover the sunroof fully. Josh re-tinted my side windows, which look good. He attempted to redo the windshield but when he put the film up, there was a nick in it so it was removed. He also wasn't able to redo the sunroof or the back glass, stating that he couldn't do any better than what was on there already. He was kind enough to issue me a full refund and also give me some additional car wash codes, and money toward my Uber ride. I thought that was VERY kind and excellent customer service. I appreciated his strong business acumen. He attempted to make the situation right and I really really appreciate that. I had since taken my car to Gilbert Tint Works for them to redo the windshield, the sunroof, and the back glass, which look good so far...the car is still curing so I'll know in a couple of days. One thing that Gilbert Tint Works pointed out was that the film that Copperstate Motor Club put on the sunroof had a weird blue hue to it. I also noticed that the windshield film, when it was on there, had a blue hue as well. We suspect that perhaps too much soapy solution was used. Copperstate Motor Club is a newer company and it appears they're still ironing out some kinks. Hopefully in the future they'll be great because the owner, Josh, definitely has the right business mindset.
