My first experience with Clint was great. I went to his shop for a quote and immediately noticed how clean he kept his shop. That was a good sign of his attention to detail and pride he takes in his business. He explained my options for a ceramic coating, and based on his Google reviews, I booked with him and he fit my vehicle in the next day. A few days later, I picked my vehicle up and it looked great. His work lives up to his reviews. I can tell it is a quality product installed by a professional, and it will last many years to come. Each new vehicle we buy, his shop will be our first stop.
Clint did an outstanding job on my Toyota Tacoma. The ceramic coating gave the paint an incredible depth and shine — it honestly looks better than new. You can tell the prep work was done with real attention to detail. The PPF on the hood was installed perfectly. It’s practically invisible, with no bubbles or visible edges, and gives me great peace of mind against rock chips and road debris. Professional, meticulous, and easy to work with — I highly recommend Clint if you’re considering ceramic coating or PPF.
Clint did an outstanding job on my Tacoma. I’ve had other vehicles ceramic coated over the years but this is by far the best job I’ve ever had done. I had the Opti-Coat Pro3 ceramic coating applied and couldn’t be happier with the result. Didn’t think it was possible for the truck to have that much of a glossy mirror-like shine. Pictures don’t do it justice. Clint kept me updated on the progress while working on my truck and sent pictures along the way. Very meticulous and great to work with. Will definitely be calling Clint for my next vehicle. Thanks again!
Clint delivered an absolutely outstanding PPF and ceramic coating experience on my brand new Lexus GX550. Clint is amazing—meticulous and very, very, very detail oriented, and it shows in every inch of the work he did. He even offered to accept my car on Christmas Day, which speaks volumes about his commitment to customer service. Throughout the five-day process, he kept me fully updated on the status of the car, sending progress updates so I always knew what was happening. What impressed me most was his pride in his craftsmanship: Clint was not happy with the initial PPF on the hood because of some scratches, even though this is a brand new vehicle - and spent additional time polishing out the scratches and re-did the coating. That level of care and refusal to cut corners is rare. Between Clints obsessive attention to detail, high-end PPF and ceramic coating, I am confident my GX550 will stay looking incredible and well protected for decades to come.
Clint is detail oriented and focused on what’s best for you - he doesn’t oversell, he won’t do work that won’t have a good outcome. In my case, I wanted a ppf, but my hood had some chips and my car is black - Clint simply didn’t want it to come out looking bad so he convinced me not to spend the extra money and to focus on restoring the paint as much as possible. I got my 2009 911 paint corrected and ceramic coated and the car is like a black mirror. It looks fantastic. Happy with the outcome, happy with the honesty, craft, attention to detail, pride in his work and quick turnaround. You get what you pay for, folks!
