Land Rover Defender

Steve and his crew were great! They worked with me to carefully choose the perfect color and finish I was looking for. Always available to answer questions via text in a timely manner, and 100% transparent during the entire process about costs and timing. Couldn't have asked for a better partner to level up my Defender!

Full front suntek as well as carbon roof protection.

Another amazing job by the folks over at Modern Auto Design. Thank you to Steve and his meticulous ppf craftmans. I've been taking my cars and trucks to get protected for over a decade now and always treated with the care and attention I demand. Steve is always transparent about his concerns with any job and always delivers. This time around I brought in a much older car, something considered to be a collectors condition and it was handled with the care and attention it deserved. Thank you again! See you soon

Solid work

Had some issues with the ceramic coating which they took care of, but unfortunately they sub contract out the ceramic coating and tint work - so I had to deal with multiple folks. Had an issue (bubbles) with the tint, and was told to contact the sub contractor to get it resolved - but dealing with so many people was a hassle, so I just took it elsewhere and paid out of pocket. The PPF is peeling in a few areas, not sure I want to call them a third time to deal with. I also notice on the door edges, they didn't put a strip down the entire edge - so the bottom portions are not protected. That said, I'd consider them in the future for PPF, but definitely not tint and ceramic coating.

Modern Auto Design did an amazing job wrapping the grille of my Mustang Mach-E. The quality of their work is outstanding, and their friendly, professional service made the process a breeze. Highly recommend them!

They did Great work on my mom's shaved ice bus. Brought back the color and took there time on it with the ceramic coating. Pricing was great! Very happy with their service. Highly recommended!!

Post PPF - car still looks brand new a year later!

Went to AVO after a friend recommended them for paint protection film and had a great experience working with them on my Tesla Model 3. The owner and his team are super nice and thorough with their work and attention to detail. I got the maximum (clear) wrap + rockers and rear bumper. Since my wrap, I've had pretty much no issues with the occasional small rock chip or other debris/dirt. My car still looks brand new even after several road trips! The peace of mind AVO's PPF has brought me is awesome and I'd highly recommend working with them.

Seams tucked on most edges

I recently purchased a blue Audi Etron, and this is a car I plan on keeping for a long time. This was the newest car I have ever purchased. I say "newest" as I have always purchased used cars. My Etron was used but it was a dealer loaner with almost no miles on it. That being said with this color and being that it was low miles and had zero chips in the paint - yet - I wanted to protect it as I know road trips are in the future. I had never considered getting clear bra on a car in the past as all my previous cars where used like I said... and they where white. White generally does not show scratches all that bad as generally they have a silver undercoat. This car being metallic blue, which is absolutely beautiful, has black under it so when it chips its going to be pretty evident. I did quite a bit of research, talked to a few different installers of clear bra. First I was amazed at how expensive it was. I had no idea. But it makes sense as the film is pricey and the labor has to be done in a very skilled fashion. After considering a few different installers I just really liked how down to earth, honest, and knowledgeable Steve was at Advanced Vehicle Outfitters. Steve took great time to explain the different packages to me including the different films. He was so generous with his time. I find this to be a rarity these days. I picked a custom package that included: full hood, bumper, partial fender, door handle inserts, mirror backs, door edges and trunk opening. I chose Suntec self healing film and scheduled a date. I Met Ay, who was a super nice and yet again super knowledgeable guy. Ay ended up being the one to do the install of the film. When I picked up the car I was amazed at the detail. The trimming was very precise and you literally can not see the clear bra. Very happy with the result. I am very impressed with the professionalism, friendly conversation, and the product. I highly recommend. A++

AVVO's Steve and A never seize to amaze me. I've been coming here since 2009 and the quality of work is always beyond my expectations. Most recently I brought my wife's new 2021 CRV and just this past weekend my new 2022 Countryman. The attention to detail, and time they take in wrapping and tucking the protectant over the hood and bumper areas is just amazing to see. It takes a lot of patience and experience to perfect installing Paint Protection Film especially on today's cars with the complex looking front ends. These guys are all about getting the job done and making sure it's done to perfection. My first stop after purchase of all my cars is directly to see Steve at AVVO. Again, another perfect job by the AVVO Team! I'll be back for more!

See all

There are a lot of shops out there that can slap on a precut or pattern cut PPF for a good price and call it a day. But SVC is not that kind of shop. My full body PPF was custom cut with full edge wrapping. The ceramic coating on the wheels was meticulous with each wheel unmounted, detailed, and treated. And the entire 3 row SUV got a proper paint correction before anything else happened. I know this because I didn't mention a paint blemish on the hood when I got the bid from SVC, it was a big bird dropping stain square in the middle. But when I got the car back the finish was perfect. This was a blemish Hyundai of Fremont sent to their detail crew to clear up when the car was brand new, and they couldn't completely fix it! SCV work is top shelf. Eli even texted me a vid of his crew working on the individual wheels dismounted from the car. This is a boutique shop that does first rate work for businesses and high-end car owners, and they do it at a very competitive price. The shop is meticulous and, looking at the quality of the motor vehicles getting serviced there, I had no problems leaving my brand new $60k SUV for the work I wanted. Also, Eli does not nickel and dime you. He treats you with respect, and everything about the service I had at SVC showed a genuine concern for customer satisfaction. Let's face it, a full PPF and ceramic coating of a full-size SUV including the wheels (not just the wheel faces) is a big investment. An investment that demands quality work and professionalism throughout the process. Eli and the crew at SVC delivers.

Their work is methodically detailed. They worked on a bunch of my cars, from custom running boards,…read morecustomer electronics install, fabrication, tints and wrap -- all have been a great experience.

Dylan took the time to assess the damage and write up a quote and timeline for me. There was no pressure, he said take your time, get other quotes and reach out if I wanted to use them. I set up my appointment with them (all the women in the front office are AMAZING). They took out the dent/scratch on the hood, repainted my hood to match the truck and also took out a dent in the driver side door. The work was completed before their quoted date. The did a full detail inside and outside as well. Will use them again if I am ever in need of their services

We also raised concerns about scratches on the trunk lid that we believe resulted from something being placed on it while the vehicle was at the shop. The owner, Jonathan Y., said they would try to take care of the issue, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, what followed was repeated miscommunication between my wife and the location manager, Dylan. We eventually scheduled an appointment for Friday at 1:30 p.m., and I accompanied my wife. From the moment we met with Dylan, I felt unwelcome. He seemed reluctant to even shake my hand, and his demeanor came across as dismissive and unprofessional. Rather than feeling that our concerns were being taken seriously, we felt like an inconvenience. I want to be very clear: I felt that the treatment we received was racist. I cannot speak to Dylan's intentions, but that is how his behavior toward us came across, and it left us feeling disrespected and unwelcome. We were also dissatisfied with the quality of the repair. When the shop called my wife to say the scratches had been buffed out, we expected someone to walk us through what had been done. Instead, when we arrived, Dylan never came out to explain the work or review the results with us. We were simply given our keys, and we left. After we had already raised concerns, that lack of follow-through was especially disappointing. Jonathan, you said you would try to address the issue, but the way your location manager handled this situation undermined our confidence in your business. Customers deserve professional communication, quality repairs, and basic respect. In our experience, this shop fell short on all three. We will be reporting our concerns about the repair quality and the treatment we received to our insurance company. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend Husteads Auto Body in Walnut Creek and will not be returning.

I'm not embarrassed to admit I used AI to gather information regarding the type of body shop I needed to do a ceramic coating, as well as red flags to watch out for. I was doing my search on Sunday, and ended up on Yelp to look for a reputable site. I sent a text message to VK and to my absolute surprise I received an answer shortly after sending the text. I didn't expect to receive a response so soon, especially on a Sunday. So I was doing double- duty... texting Paul from VK while making inquiries on AI to see what questions I should ask. AI told me Paul was giving me A-plus superior service and providing accurate and honest answers, so I took the deep dive and made an appointment. When I arrived at the shop I felt like I was meeting old friends. The guy who initially greeted me was incredibly kind and gave me honest answers about other questions I had. Paul arrived about five minutes later and he was so incredibly friendly. As a woman going into any business, especially where I am spending a large amount of money, the way I am treated speaks volumes about their customer service. When I returned several days later, Paul showed me the vehicle and I hugged him. My car looked amazing and I was so pleased with the work these guys did. I met the guy who did the ceramic coating and it was obvious these guys take tremendous pride in the work they do. Per my request Paul also sent me links to the products I could purchase to maintain the integrity of the work they did. As I am moving put of state in a few months I plan to return so they can tint my windows. These guys exhibit high integrity and it shows in the way they treat customers and the quality of their work. I literally want to bake cookies for the entire crew! If you're on the fence about where to take your valued vehicle for ceramic coating or tint, hands down this shop is definitely the place to go.

Our vehicles have been done at the same day for me as long as I have been able to drop them off in the morning to give them plenty of time to work the tent. I first got my truck done, then my SUV, now my smaller car as well. I like the pricing and of course the customer service as well. I plan on coming back for my fourth year in the near future this year as well. I'm gonna check them out. I like to choose the ceramic tent option that helps reduce the signature inside your car, which is better than a carbon Titan. It is worth your money, especially in California in these hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot hot.
