Fast, no-pressure quotes · Most vehicles quoted same day
Your Paint Is Taking Hits Every Single Drive.
Freeway gravel on the 78 and I-15, construction debris, bug splatter, bird droppings and parking-lot door dings all chip away at your finish. Touch-up paint never matches, and a front-end respray can run thousands — and hurts resale.
- Rock chips on the bumper and hood within months
- Bug and bird etching that won't wash out
- Swirls and scratches from car washes and daily use
- Lower trade-in value from a "used-looking" front end
An Invisible Shield That Heals Itself
Paint protection film (clear bra) is a nearly invisible urethane layer that takes the damage so your paint doesn't. We install STEK DYNOshield — a premium, high-gloss film with STEK's HYDROphobe® nano-ceramic top coat.
Rock-Chip Defense
Tough, puncture- and tear-resistant film absorbs impacts from gravel and road debris before they reach your clear coat.
Self-Healing Finish
Light scratches and wash swirls disappear with heat from the sun or warm water — the film keeps looking new.
Hydrophobic Top Coat
Water, bugs, bird droppings and road grime bead off and wash away easier — no more etching or stains.
Non-Yellowing Clarity
Optically clear, extreme high-gloss film that won't yellow or haze — built for San Diego sun.
Protects Resale Value
Original factory paint is worth more at trade-in. PPF keeps it pristine for the life of your ownership.
10-Year Warranty
Your film is covered by STEK USA for 10 years — real peace of mind on a real investment.

Great job on our Lexus NXh+ and Honda Pilot black edition, Erick is clean and efficient, definitely recommending him around already, thank you
— Joe Joe Wilson · Google ReviewThey did an exceptional job tinting my Prius.
Clay runs a fantastic shop, plus getting to see all the exotic cars (Acura NSX, Porsche 911 turbos) in the shop gave me confidence in their work.
I had such a great experience at AutoPro SD. My tint came out absolutely perfect and I was so happy with the quality of work done. The service was awesome, Clay was really helpful helping me find what I needed. It was also done super fast. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking to get their windows tinted!
— Reed Coffin · Google ReviewIsrael and his team are the best! They did my wondows and winshield before I drove to Sedona last summer. It made the drive in 112 degrees across the desert just fine!
And they just did my south and west facing windows in my home. Now I csn enjoy the view without all the glare and concerns for my carpet and furniture. I am delighted with the results, and highly recommend this life changing film… so much more comfortable.
PPF FAQ
Can you actually see the film?
On a properly installed high-gloss film, it's very hard to tell it's there. STEK DYNOshield is optically clear and adds gloss — most people can't spot it without being told.
How much does PPF cost?
It depends on your vehicle and how much coverage you want. A bumper-and-headlights package costs far less than a full-body wrap. Call or text (760) 420-5431 or send the form below for a fast, exact quote.
How long does installation take?
Front-end packages are typically done in about a day; full-body wraps take longer. We'll give you a clear timeline when you book.
Will it yellow or peel?
DYNOshield is non-yellowing and built for high heat and moisture resistance, and it's backed by a 10-year STEK warranty.
Does PPF work on new cars?
New cars are the ideal time — your paint is still perfect, so the film locks in that factory finish before the first rock chip.
Can I add ceramic coating on top?
Yes. Many customers pair PPF with a ceramic coating for extra gloss and even easier washing. Ask us about bundling.
