Most dealerships just mark-up an outside installer doing the work. You’re better off finding someone on your own and working with them directly.

In the Philly region, I recommend Menard Premium Detailing. They’ve got a solid rep and do cars from PA, NJ, NY, MD, DE.

I would recommend Phil @detailers domain in Northern NJ. He has done PPF/Ceramic for me on 3 cars and his work is immaculate. I would avoid the dealer...unless you know who they are using to do the PPF, as they usually hire low priced guys to do the job and almost always use precut patterns vs actually wrapping the panels. The detailer the dealer subs out to will likely take shortcuts on the paint correction as they had to low bid the job to get the business.

dealership applications in my area , were done with unwrapped edges . so make sure you get the job you are expecting . others of us who got dealer wraps and did not do due diligence and after the fact realized we had pre cuts . it bothered me for a few minutes but have moved on . I do wish I did both ceramic and ppf and not at the dealer

The guys at AI Design in Tuckahoe do great work but they tend to be very pricey. I think they quoted me 12 or 13K for paint correction, wrap and ceramic.

Yes, another plug for Detailer's Domain. I've been going to Phil for years. They do fantastic work and I highly recommend them.

I was extremely disappointed from the results and post work accountability at Detailers Domain. Used Phil based on the reviews here despite him giving the most expensive quote and the work was far from perfect. He didn't ppf parts of the front (just stating it wasnt included (post work)), many of the edges just showing instead of tucked in and worst, I had to chase him and show up multiple times to get bubbles corrected and instead of fixing the bubbles his team just removed pieces of the ppf from part of the front bumper and chiped the paint while doing so. Was tired of chasing him to fix it and will need to find a solution by myself. Not sure if I'm an edge one-off case, but I was shocked that this was the quality of the work after the glowing reviews here.

yeah - I went to visit him as well (Detailers Domain) to get a quote based on some of the recommends I read to see the shop/process - wasn't impressed and did not end up using them. Looked like just some random guys off the street working on the cars and some relatives wrapping and shipping products. Not to say they are not good from personal experience, just my thoughts YMMV,

Update- based on some local references I used Whipskin in Bedford Hills for PPF and ceramic. I highly recommend.
