Default SF Bay Area PPF recommendations?

I know about Elite Auto Films. They don't return email or website requests for quotes for some reason.

Any other reputable PPF installers in the Bay you could recommend?

Or do I need to transport my 4S to Esoteric in Ohio?

thanks!

Interesting. I actually had a very good experience with Elite. People I work with recommend Deep Reflections in Los Gatos.

I had my Escort MAX CI 360 installed by CME, which seems to be closely affiliated with GMP Cars in Novato. I can't believe the number of Ferraris and other exotics I saw there having bodywork done or PPF being installed. I can only vouch for the Escort installation, which was impeccable, but you may want to look into them for PPF. https://www.gmpcars.com/
(No affiliation, just a happy customer.)

I would recommend Premier in Fremont (http://www.premiermobilegroup.com/#northerncalifornia). I've had them do window tint and/or PPF on several cars including Macan & GT3. Results and service have always been excellent.

Just had my car done at Auto Pro Films in Belmont and couldn’t be happier.

Rob did the full front and rocker panels using Suntek ultra film. Full custom install with the edges wrapped, can’t tell that the film is there.

Amazing job at a much better price than some of the installers mentioned here. He did all the work himself and made sure it was done perfectly.

DO NOT use these guys. I just posted my review after having them do my PPF: https://www.yelp.com/biz/inphamous-a...source=(direct)

I should have gone to Auto Pro Films, as he did my M5 seamless custom for less money, but they don't do paint correction before the PPF installation.

i second Premier, they are the best in the country. They are one of the originators of PPF installs. If you can afford trailering it to Florida then you should have no problem with Premier’s pricing. You get what you pay for.

I just had my car done at Elite. I would call Jeff @ 4083804577

They have been in the middle of moving from one shop to another so probably missed your call. I would give them a try again. let me know if you can't get a hold of them.

I heard few bad things about Premier with the customer service. Not sure about the work but for the price they charge you would think you get top customer service. Then again, seems like people like them.

Mine and 2 other neighbors used Jeremy at Invisigard ... great price ... great quality.

i have been to and visited Premier too. Those guys are expensive but thorough, very nice to work with; you will also not be disappointed.

... and then there's MoeMistry in LA

Net-net ....absolutely no need to send your car out of state

Appearance Solutions in Sacramento is a great shop too if you don't mind the 2 hr drive. I saw two GT3s there getting done, turned out really nice. Ask for the owner, Mike.

I heard Dave Graff retired to Hawaii a couple years back when Borelli closed.
I miss Dave, best alignment I ever got.
