Looking for a paint protection film installer? I wish I could tell you that all of my competitors were above board, but like any industry, there are some bad apples.

Here’s how to spot a scam and avoid costly mistakes, poor work, even expensive damage to your vehicle. Avoid these types of shops:
· Mobile installers without physical shops (Instead choose a shop that works on and stores vehicles in a safe, climate-controlled location.)

· Custom-cut installers (Instead look for a shop that computer cuts its film.)
· New shops, who are “experimenting” with offering paint protection film (Instead work with a shop with experience and a proven track record.)
· Low-cost offers—who don’t offer quality work (Instead, select a high-quality shop that understands the time and cost of quality materials to do a job correctly.)
· Off-brand materials (Instead, elect for name-brand, high quality materials.)

· Sub-contract labor (instead, support a shop that employees an in-house team.)
· Over promises (Instead, understand that paint protection film is not paint perfection. Ask the shop how they handle warranty issues.)

· Instant availability (Instead, be comfortable with a bit of a wait. A good shop is booking a few weeks to a few months out.)
· Upsells (Instead, achieve a comfortable trust with the shop, knowing ceramic coating is not mandatory to protect the paint protection film.)
