I recently brought my truck into 1st Call Auto Appearance Services for a full ceramic tint and Paint Protection Film (PPF), and I am beyond impressed. The attention to detail is clearly on another level. The ceramic tint was applied flawlessly all the way around—no bubbles, no peeling edges, just a perfect factory-looking finish. If you’re on the fence about ceramic, it’s a game-changer for heat rejection. My truck stays significantly cooler now. As for the PPF, the application is so seamless you can barely tell it’s there, which is exactly what you want when protecting your paint from rock chips and road debris. What really set this experience apart was the staff. From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly friendly and genuinely helpful. They took the time to explain the different film options and made sure I was choosing the right protection for my specific needs. It’s rare to find a shop that combines this level of technical skill with such great customer service. If you want your vehicle handled by pros who treat it like their own, go to 1st Call Auto Appearance. My truck looks amazing and is now better protected for the long haul. I’ll definitely be back for any future work!
Aric and his team have significantly improved the appearance of my two classic/collectable cars. Paint touch-ups, color sanding and polishing. All done quickly, professionally, and for very reasonable charges. Great people! Nice facility and conveniently located (for me!). I have - and will continue to - strongly recommend them without any reservations!

Professional, speedy service with fair pricing—I highly recommend Aric, Ryan, and their staff. After having a bit too much fun off-roading in my Land Cruiser, I ended up with a few clear coat scratches and pinstripes on the paint. Their team detailed the exterior and removed the imperfections using an SSR (spray-on scratch removal) process and polish. I dropped off my car in the morning, and they offered me a ride home while I waited for the work to be completed. A few hours later, they picked me up, and my car looked as good as new. I’ll definitely keep 1st Call Auto in mind for all my future detailing needs.
I'm a three time returning customer. Nobody does in better than Aric and his team. My 2002 Avalanche incurred some ice storm damage from some fallen tree limbs. There was also some hail damage that needed to be taken care of. Aric's team took care of all of my repairs and brought my Avalanche looking like new again. And they handled everything with my insurance company claim. This is the 2nd time they transformed my Avalanche, after my dad passed in 2015, they reconditioned the whole interior as well. I drive over 2 hrs from East TX to have his team work on all of my vehicles. Thanks, guys!
