    My car now shines.
    Amy L.

    If you are wanting quality ceramic coating and quality work look no further. I highly recommend Drive Auto Appearance. The owner, Cam, was nothing but informational and provide quality service & product. My vehicle looks much better and the ceramic coating is doing what it is intended to do. From a price perspective the price is competitive. After shopping around, I am happy I chose this place to do business with.

    Ceramic coating

    This is the place to bring your car for anything related to detailing and things like ceramic coating. Cam goes the extra mile to explain everything to you and make sure your car is done right. He is extremely knowledgeable in all things related to your car...inside and out. They put on a ceramic coat on my car and they do it right by properly prepping the paint before unlike many places you'll see with cheaper prices. They even follow up a couple weeks after with a wash and inspection of their work. Do it right and bring your car here!

    My baby looking amazing!!

    My car has never looked better!! Seriously!! I had so much sap on my car from the trees at work, it was awful! Cam and his crew took their time to make sure every inch, inside and out, was cleaned to perfection! I was stunned when I picked it up! I cannot recommend Drive enough!!

    Cam is the man!! Cannot recommend this place enough, as well as Cam's expertise and advice through the process. I ended up doing paint correction and a graphene coating on my Audi, and the results look better than a showroom finish. I knew it was going to look good, but I didn't think it was going to look THIS GOOD. You almost want to fall into the paint, the coating gives a sense of depth to the color, and yet there's a reflective sheen that just makes the car look high caliber. Price point was super reasonable as well, especially considering the hours of work at play to get this end result. I also got after care instructions in order to keep the car looking fresh for as long as I can.

    Words can't describe the level of detail Cameron puts into what he does. Ceramic coating and detailing is top notch. Drive Auto Appearance!!

    I have since sold my BMW locally but visited Cameron and his shop while I was in Dallas again this past weekend and he is the same great guy. He remembered me specifically and wanted to make my experience great. I just stopped in to say hey and grabbed a few items to help support. Cameron is just an awesome guy that loves doing what he does.

    Most people get up and go to work every day because they have to, but not Cam. This man loves what he does and has found his calling. Cam is an encyclopedia of knowledge on automotive products and techniques, but what really sets him apart is his passion. Cam's passion shines through in everything he does. He has developed all of his own products and they are first-class. He takes the time to explain not only his processes but the proper methods to maintain your car's finish at home. I drive a black 2007 Infiniti M35 and I've run it through every car wash in Collin County. It was covered in swirl marks, halos and scratches. I had someone else wax it several months ago and after a few weeks I had even more swirls and rainbows. It was in really bad shape. I brought it to Cam and he explained the multi-step process that would be required to bring it back to it's original beauty. When I returned for my car I thought maybe he'd given up and just repainted it. I couldn't believe how beautiful it was-it truly looked like a brand-new car. If you have a black car, you know how hard it is to keep clean - Cam not only made it look new but provided me with the products and knowledge to keep it looking new. He also convinced my 10 year old son that hand-washing my car would be a fun way to earn money-talk about full service! I'm pleased to give Cam and DRIVE Auto my highest personal recommendation. I'll be taking my wife's new (black) Denali to him next for it's first wax/sealant. Give DRIVE a shot-you won't be disappointed.

    I took my baby in for a full wrap and ceramic coat. Cam Johnson is the man! He walked me through exactly what the process was, what to expect, and when I picked it up he gave me homework to keep the car looking beautiful once it got home. I can't talk highly enough about Cam's professionalism and passion for what he does. If there was ever a place to go in Plano for detailing needs, this is it. It makes me feel bad I don't have more cars!

    Ceramic coating done.
    Robert H.

    Cameron did a great job on the ceramic coating for my C7 Corvette. Looks fantastic. The Torch Red color really pops. It was a pleasure to do business with Cameron. The work was done on time as scheduled and he kept me informed as to the progress.

    I don't easily believe reviews online, and my trust for businesses has declined greatly over the years. People just don't seem to care like they used to. This is NOT the case with Cam at Drive Auto Appearance. After a wax-job-gone-bad several years ago, I've been very reluctant to try someone else. Decide to trust the online reviews and just go for it. Cam is the ultimate perfectionist, and it's obvious he loves what he does. All the previous reviews and comments below are true, so I won't repeat them all. The results? Look for yourself at the photo of my 2004 Civic. Literally, it's equivalent to looking into a mirror. Goodbye milky residue and build-up from drive-through car washes. Won't be doing THAT anymore. Thanks, Cam, for restoring my faith ... and my baby's finish!

    See all

    Amazing job! Everything went well with the service! Highly recommend to anyone looking for serviceread more

    I found Tony's after looking online for the best car tint shops in the area - especially those who…read morespecialize in working on Tesla vehicles, and they were easily the top result. Tony and his wife Lisa were who we spoke with and who worked on our Model 3 (2021). Tony himself was the actual installer and to say he went "above and beyond" is an understatement. First off, they were able to get us a great deal for the top-of-the-line XPEL XR Plus tint on all glass surfaces. This meant they did all the windows, the glass roof, even the windshield itself - apparently they are able to put an almost clear layer so it doesn't impact visibility that also still manages to block out a TON of heat. Second, when they first checked over the vehicle, they found a handful of flaws I had not seen (we had just gotten the vehicle only days before deciding we wanted to get tint installed before the summer really kicked off), and showed us before ever getting started to put us at ease with how they were going to handle the vehicle and let us know up front of any issues they found. Third, when Tony got to work, he actually noted that at some point some of the paneling had been hastily re-set into place, and was not correctly re-installed... so he took it upon himself to properly correct the issue, bending fasteners that were not correctly attached into their intended positions... meaning when they gave us the car back, not only was the tint installed perfectly, but the car was technically in even better shape than when we picked it up directly from Tesla's own shop in Dallas since now all the internal panels had been fastened as designed from the factory itself! They even registered the warranty for the XPEL tint so we didn't have to worry about any sort of future coverage should any issues occur with the film itself. In the past, I've gone with other tinters and I've had issues come up years later with peeling, cracking, and tearing, but I have a feeling that this is not going to be happening with Tony's work. I don't think we'll be going anywhere else but Tony's from now on. Now we just need to get a time where we can be without the vehicle for a few more days so we can get PPF + Ceramic coating installed on the body. In summary, if you want your vehicle tint installed professionally by some hard-working honest folks who know their craft really well and care about quality - go see Tony and his wife Lisa.

Jay worked in the industry for years, but the pace of pushing maximum number of customers each day was getting old. He learned a lot, but did not earn a lot for the stress. The commute was another factor. Jay likes being at his own place, calling his own pace, because he gives each customer good honest attention, and it is fixed the first time. I bought a used truck, "As Is" off a dealer lot... as if I am an Idiot! Prior owner had hacked all the wiring all through the dash installing his own radio & trailer brake lights. I paid the dealer to replace burned out starter... then the generator that ate 2 Sears batteries... then the ECM Finally, while on Yelp one day, by luck I landed on an account that reviewed Jay, and this lady was joyous! I hobbled my vehicle over, left it with Jay. Took out my mountain bike to cruise the area. Jay called later, said "Got er Done!" Jay showed me the Frankenstein spaghetti wiring harness that he yanked out of my dash "As Is" OMG! Now for good part: brand new taillight assemblies, wired correctly, now no more dead batteries. Radio works correctly, and gadgets lights are better to read in all types of light. Horn works, and turn signals too. You know, the dealership already replaced the ECM for $1,000? I got all this done for $600 cash it was 5 hours, but I was out goofing around so it went by fast, no complaints. Jay is a good guy, but just 1 guy, so your deal with Jay is how you make the deal. Obviously not a rush job mechanic. If you bring the correct parts, that could be a deal maker.

Every inch was spotless, and you could tell real care went into the detailing--not just a quick pass-through. What truly set this experience apart, though, was the hospitality. While I was waiting, Besrat went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. She was welcoming, attentive, and made the entire experience feel personal rather than transactional.
