Straight answers

How is a job priced?

Most services have a set price, shown on the services page and the booking page; washes go by vehicle size. Full wraps, full tint, PPF, chrome delete, custom stripes and wrap removal are quoted: send the car, the service and a photo through the quote form and you get a price the same day. Online bookings can be paid in full or split with Klarna, Affirm or Afterpay.

Is window tint legal in New York?

New York requires the windshield and front side windows to let in at least 70 percent of light. We install legal shades on those and darker ceramic film where the law allows, and we tell you which is which before we start.

How long does a wrap or PPF take?

A full vinyl wrap takes up to three to five days and paint protection film from two to three days. Both are scheduled with you directly once you accept the quote. Hood and roof wraps take about four hours and can be booked online.
