    Volvo XC60 at Autoshield
    Kevin C.

    Update: Another perfect PPF installation from Eddie and the team! Brought our new Volvo in for door guards, handle cups, and rear bumper protection. In and out in less than a day. Phenomenal service and attention to detail as always.

    Getting PPF done on our car through Autoshield was easy and stressfree from beginning to end. After my wife and I bought our first car together, we called around and got the best quote and attitude from Samana at Autoshield. She was upfront about the out-the-door cost and was very helpful in answering our questions. We made the soonest appointment for almost two weeks out, but Samana called us back a few days later to offer an earlier slot when it became available. We dropped off our car on Monday morning and picked it up at the end of the day on Thursday. Within that time, we also decided to get our side windows tinted for IV protection. We reached out and again got a great quote, so we asked them to go ahead and add it to our project. Communication was always timely and positive. Payment was painless too since Samana sent us an online link with the invoice. Everything was just as they quoted us, and we were able to also add the Yelp check-in discount to the total. We're glad that we decided to get PPF and window tinting for our new car from Autoshield. If we ever need any future PPF or tinting done, or make a claim on the warranty, we won't hesitate to call Samana at Autoshield.

    I've been bringing my cars to this shop for the past few years. Excellent value and service, every single time. They take pride in their work, and have often talked me out of doing unnecessary services that other shops recommend. The owner and his crew truly care about enhancing the look and value of their clients' vehicles. This sets them apart from the rest.

    I've lived in San Diego for about a decade and would consider myself an auto enthusiast, like most who would consider the services of Autoshield. I have had a few vehicles which I've had tinted and ceramic coated over the past few years. I've used a variety of shops in San Diego and interacted with most of the high end shops over the years. I wanted front XPEL PPF for my new SUV and found Autoshield as they are one of two XPEL dealers in SD. There are others which install XPEL, but without being authorized dealers. I am not certain if XPEL would honor their warranty, so I didn't go with those. Other non XPEL PPF don't have a proven track record, but may be okay. I looked around and the reason I chose Autoshield was the owners and the way they run their business - this was evident from my first call with them. As others have mentioned, Eddie and Samana are very hands on and very involved in the day to day work. Eddie took the time to call me back soon after my inquiry and went over all my options. He was very thorough but not at all pushy. It really felt like I was taking advice from a friend rather than getting sold something. A lot of places offer the same type of work and would likely do a good job, but had a lot going on with the family and wanted to get the work done with as little hassle and from a place I knew would stand behind their work if I needed it down the line. I carefully read the reviews for all the places I was considering and this place stood out. Most places have 5 star reviews but also a handful or really bad 1 star reviews. My gut feeling was that Eddie and Samana run their business with care and honesty. I had the sense that if I did need work or warranty claims down the line, they would remember me and treat me like a valued customer despite only meeting briefly. They answered all my questions and were responsive to texts. The work was done meticulously and in a timely manner as promised. They were even able to get me in during a busy time in the summer with only a few days notice. Their prices were similar to other shops in the area, and they were able to work with me a little bit since I did tint, PPF, and ceramic coating. Also Eddie did PPF on the door handles and edges for free.

    Before paint correction, PPF and ceramic coating. Trim replaced only

    I have been using PPF on all my personal vehicles since 1997. At that time there was not many places who installed PPF. I have used a lot of places in town and out of town since then but I have for the last ten years been solely using Eddie and his crew at Autoshield. No other company stands behind their work and product like Autoshield. In my line of business, I am in high end collision repair and PPF is a common place on our clients vehicles. I have had a few hundred vehicles done with our partners at Autoshield and will never use anyone else. Their pricing is on par within the industry. They use XPEL products for PPF, Ceramic Coating and Window Tint. They offer paint corrections and detailing services as well. Trust me when I say these guys can polish a turd. My personal car I just purchased, a 2002 BMW M5 was taken in and transformed to a showroom fresh car that even shocked me being in the collision repair industry twenty eight years now. I did not want to paint the car since the finish was original, but it was rough. These guys paint corrected it, ceramic coated it and detailed the interior to like new. I am super grateful for them. Give Autoshield a shot to earn your business. I am sure you will be as happy as I am with them. Conveniently located off of Miramar road, they are located centrally in San Diego.

    Getting some work done. Looking forward to the finished product. Thanks for the great service.

    Very impressed with Eddie and his team at Autoshield. This is my first time owning a nicer car and I did a lot of research and visited a number of shops before choosing to go with Autoshield. I ended up doing a window tint and PPF on the front of the car and Eddie was super helpful with any questions I had. His team made sure that everything was perfect and despite having to redo a section (because they weren't happy with how it came out), they were still able to get the car done on time. I would highly recommend checking out Autoshield if you're interested in any sort of PPF, wrap or tint for your cars.

    Eddie and his guys did a fantastic job with my MYP. Couldn't be happier with the way it came out. Eddie is a super nice guy and makes you feel comfortable with all your vehicle needs. Got my ppf stealth, tint and vinyl wrapped accents all done in a timely manner with competitive prices. Will definitely be back for any future projects

    We were on the hunt for a local XPEL PPF authorized dealer, and thankfully we chose Autoshield to install our XPEL 'Stealth' PPF after initial conversations with Eddie. From the get-go, Eddie and his wife delivered exemplary customer service and were incredibly responsive to questions and proactive with updates about the job. In addition to PPF, we also ceramic coating done to the body and brake calipers, as well as window-tinting. Customer service aside, the prices were extremely competitive and lower than all of the competition. Lastly, the worksmanship and installation was done very well, and in a timely fashion. The whole team there was extremely kind and courteous. I would *highly* recommend Autoshield for anyone in the San Diego and Southern California area looking for PPF, tint, and ceramic coating needs.

    Cannot possibly say enough good things about Eddie and the team at Autoshield. I would have been nervous about leaving my 1-day old Lucid Air GT with any shop but once I got to Autoshield and met with Eddie, I was instantly put at ease. It was obvious that the entire team was passionate about their work and treated customers' cars as if they were their own. I asked for a lot (whole body PPF, tint of all windows and roof, "chrome" delete, matching rims to new roof color) on a car that had just been released at the time. They kept me updated regularly on the progress of the job and when I saw the final product, I was amazed! Thank you guys for making my Lucid Air one-of-kind!

What also stood out is that they're using a legitimate professional system, not off-the-shelf products, and applying it properly.

Where things started to slip was on the pickup side. I was told the car was ready, but still ended up waiting about 30-40 minutes before actually getting it. At checkout, I was also surprised to see a tip screen with suggested amounts that felt pretty high given the service. I ended up leaving a small tip, but the experience itself didn't really match that level of expectation. I also would have appreciated a quick walkthrough of the work that was done--especially at that price point--but it was more of a quick handoff of the keys. I came back for the 10-day follow-up and made a point to ask about timing ahead of time. I was told it would take about an hour. I arrived early, but after an hour the car hadn't been touched yet, and there wasn't any update unless I asked. That part was frustrating. So, they ended up rushing my 10-day follow-up inspection. Gave the car a quick rinse and handed me the keys. What was the point of driving down from Carlsbad??? Over 3 hours wasted. For comparison, I had a great experience at their Kearny Mesa location previously, so I know what they're capable of. This location is stretched thin, which seemed to impact communication and overall service. I was not the only customer in the lobby feeling this way. Given the type of clientele they're working with and the pricing, I was expecting a bit more consistency and attention to detail. Their follow-up consisted of more sales pitches of coupons for services I already had done. Would have been nice to have the discounts PRIOR to the work! I planned on using the wash program and mentioned to Jasmine my poor service experience. Think there was follow-up? Nada. So, thumbs "kind of" up for Ceramic Pro but thumbs down for this location. Overall, I think the company itself does good work, and have used the Kearny Mesa location in the past several times with excellent success!! I would not choose this location again.

I asked for a tint quote online and was excited about the fair price plus great reviews. I took it in for tent and a stereo install. He pretended he knew everything about my car and had to charge me $500 to install the stereo. He said he needed to cut the wood around the stereo and that's why it cost so much. I told him that's the wood has already been cut but yet he wanted to keep the price at $500. When we began talking about the tint, he also said now that he sees the car in person he has to charge $1300. That is $500 more than what he quoted online. But somehow, now he didn't know anything about the number of windows or my car... he did when we were talking about the stereo. I was excited to drop off my car and he knew it. This is what we call BAIT AND SWITCH. I know it's a classic car, but it seems like he and everyone else wants to rip me off. I left a shop, extremely disappointed and with heartache.
