I spent some time researching for the best place to tint my windows in the area. I came across…read moreElite Auto Spa and read a lot of great reviews online. I gave them a call because I had questions about ceramic window tint. I spoke with Gabriel who was very patient and super knowledgeable. I didn't feel rushed or felt like he was just trying to book a sale. Gabriel took his time and really explained the whole process and how ceramic window tint works. I booked my appointment and the service provided was top notch! Gabriel and his team did a fantastic job with the tint on my Toyota Tacoma! If you're reading this as I was before pouring over reviews looking for a reputable place. I 100% recommend Elite Auto Spa!

I recently purchased a Ford F150 and wanted to protect it since it'll be parked outside primarily…read more(Too large for my garage). I had the front side windows tinted to match the rear windows, and a light tint placed on the windshield to reduce UV rays and IR damage. The windshield tint is not noticeable and seems to be a common aftermarket installation; particularly in areas that get a lot of sun. During a very warm month of March, it seemed like it kept the interior cooler, putting less strain on the A/C. Gabe also applied PPF over the front of the vehicle and tailgate as well as door cups. It's nice knowing these surfaces are protected from rocks, and anything that could chip the paint. A lifetime ceramic coating was placed over the top of everything to promote a lasting shine and protection for all surfaces. This is the third vehicle that Gabe has provided this service for me, and he always does a great job. High attention to detail, dependable timelines and a fair price. His new shop in Marina is very nice and reflects his quality oriented business.

They are fast, professional, thorough, detail oriented and do amazing work!! I recently had them detail a truck I've owned for 14 years that I was going to list for sale.

They did such an amazing job breathing life back into it, I almost didn't recognize it and was blown away at the finished product! Not one square inch was overlooked!

The team at Elite are very friendly and highly professional, they take the time to do the job right and wrap all the edges. They did a fantastic job all the way around including correcting any minor flaws in the surfaces found as they were working on the car. Additionally their prices are very fair, their price for "full body" with ceramic coating was only about 20% more than the dealer for a "front only" and full ceramic coating.

Car came out, I was watching them wipe it down.. then they said my car was ready.. I looked inside.. nothing was vacuumed! I picked up all four of my mats and put it on the seats to show them.. management came out to check.. I'm sure he was furious too! He told me to wait again, and took my car in for a second cleaning/vacuuming.. I was on my lunch break, this was a total inconvenience and time consuming! If the job was done right the first time.. no one's time would've been wasted! The time and effort that their employees put into this sucks. My advice for the businesses: have management come out and inspect vehicle and approving it before taking customers' money/letting customers drive off the lot. So many workers, but quality of work needs improvement. This could be a management issue.

When I moved to Monterey…read morePeninsula nearly four years ago I was able to find an independent service shop ( C&C) for my Porsche --they recommended Matt at PAD with the observation that his appointment waiting time was long-- and for good reason: he's a magician and worth the wait. Over the years and 3 services on 3 different cars I can say unequivocally, he's one of the best on the Peninsula if not The Best. Fairly priced, fanatic attention to detail Matt is going to make sure car look showroom new. I've had him do ceramic coating on my 911, Cayenne etc to keep my beauties always looking great. I've even had him to "emergency" looks at little parking lot scratches --and amazing buffing to take out the offending lines in my paint.

His eye for detail and judgment, personal hands-on skills, passion for cars, commitment to excellence, and style are as great as I've ever seen - with decades of fanatical attention to cars before I met him. "Legend" is a description I heard at both dealerships. He also watches each dollar like it is his own - balancing value with perfection. The faces of his network of other specialists light up at his name - interior, soft top, dent removal, tires, etc. He freshened up the exterior of my year-old AMG E53 to better than factory including PPF you can't even see. His guidance on what he did and what else to do earned my deep trust.
