    Vinyl hood decal installed. Super clean
    Kyle A.

    Sophie and her crew did a great job removing the old flaking hood decal on my Trailhawk and installed a new one I purchased from Etsy. Install was perfect, no damage when removing old one. Got me in and out same day. Price was fair too. I will definitely be going back for future car detail and wrap needs.

    The owner, Sophie, and her entire team are nothing short of phenomenal. Competitive pricing, expert craftsmanship, and an overall experience that's honestly hard to beat. This shop brings something to the Bay Area, especially San Francisco, that's been missing for a long time: a true hub for car enthusiasts where you can hang out and get high-quality work done. I had my windows tinted at ESM and the team absolutely nailed it. On top of that, they detailed my car for free, which was such a nice surprise and really shows how much they care about their customers. The lounge space is fantastic too! Super comfortable if you decide to wait for your car. Highly recommend.

    Sophie is very kind and quickly responding. The work is amazing and Manny's skill is top notch. 100% recommend

    ASK FOR SOPHIE & MANNY! I promise you, they're the best! I recently had my new car serviced with PPF at ESM Motors, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. The team was incredibly detailed with their work--every panel, edge, and corner was handled with obvious care and expertise. What really stood out was their transparency throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain each step, set clear expectations, and made sure I always understood what was being done. Their communication via phone calls & texts was prompt, consistent and proactive, which made the experience smooth and stress-free. I also appreciated how focused they were on making sure I felt comfortable. Every question and request I had was managed thoughtfully and they were very clear with their feedback and responses. They checked in frequently, answered all my questions, and never rushed anything. Their confidence in their technical craft definitely shows in the final result--the car looks absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this shop 100% if you're looking for quality PPF work backed by professionalism, honesty, and great customer service.

    White VW Golf with a Glossy Black XPEL Roof & Spoiler PPF wrap... (and Sophie's GT3 RS in pink)

    TLDR: Sophie and her team did a fantastic job with a PPF roof & spoiler install for my VW Golf. I'd go back to them again in a heartbeat for any future work. 5/5 Stars. First, Sophie and her team show obvious care & passion for cars. It's not a shop where they're just trying to get through as many cars as possible. I chatted with Sophie about cars for a while, and it's obvious she's a car enthusiast. That enthusiasm translated into great care for my vehicle. We started with Inozetek, but when it was hard to get, she went and upgraded my PPF to XPEL at no extra cost. Second, the quality of the work is great. I had a tricky request to wrap the top half of my spoiler in the same color as the roof. A lot of pictures online showed other shops cut the PPF along the flat edge of the spoiler to keep it simple, but Sophie and her team were able to cut it right to the edge. That little bit of extra detail showed me they really have an eye for the small stuff AND the ability to execute. Third, the price. I think I might have gotten a bit lucky, but the price was extremely fair for a vehicle wrap located in San Francisco. It's a huge convenience to work with a shop in the city. It made it easy to hop on the bus to get home afterwards, or call an Uber to get to the shop. Last of all, the turnaround time. My situation was a bit unique since the Inozetek was out of stock, so I had to wait a little extra. But even then, Sophie was easy to reach and kept me updated on the status of my car the whole time.

    First off, this review is over 10 years late. Over the past decade plus, I've brought 8 of our…read morecars (Toyota, BMW, Honda (3), VW, Subaru, Acura) for window tinting at Grizzly. The workmanship is top-shelf as Danny knows his stuff and is an artisan of his craft, which requires lots of attention to detail. Between Danny and Gena, they run a beautiful shop in SSF with competitive prices on Llumar tint. I recently had to get some warranty work done on my ID.4 as the back window started "rippling" and distorting after only a couple of years, making rearview mirror images harder to see. Gena was able to get the work approved under warranty (it was an adhesive defect), made an appointment and brought the car in and the work was done in about an hour -- I can see clearly out the back window again. I will continue to go to Grizzly Tint with all my future vehicle acquisitions in the future....the best window tinting service in the Bay!

    Very easy and convenient process from start to finish, all done via the Yelp app. Quotes and…read moreresponse times were timely, and the time in and time out times were also on schedule. They are a Llumar dealer and answered all my questions and concerns regarding the opacity, brand, etc. I came for a windshield tint on my Model Y and the finish is immaculate after the curing period. The people were honest and straightforward about care, legality, etc., and left my car in the exact same condition as when I dropped it off. I really have no complaints and nothing bad to say about this shop. Would definitely come back here again for my other cars

    I came here after my inner/outer detail with Lim, from Detail by Precision. He pointed out that my…read moreroof was already starting to break down: patchy, worn, almost like these "salt-burn" marks across the paint of the roof. I'll be honest, I'm still learning about paint health but I know enough to recognize when something needs attention. I love my car, it's reliable, it supports everything I need to do in my life--and since I fully own it, I wanted to do something meaningful for it for my birthday. They walked me through two options: vinyl vs. PPF. And the way they explained PPF just made sense. It wasn't just about aesthetics, it was about peace of mind. Protection from all the elements this car goes through daily. Longevity. Something that holds integrity over time, not just a quick fix. That mattered to me. The owner was incredibly informative. You can tell there's intention behind everything here: not just the service, but the design, the experience, the way they think. As a designer, I pick up on that immediately. It doesn't feel random...it feels considered. And the front desk, she was amazing! I wish I remembered her name. But you know when someone's vibe is just genuine? Not performative, not transactional--just kind, attentive, and actually caring about helping you? That was her. It makes a difference. What really surprised me was the turnaround. Same day. I wasn't expecting that at all! They finished the roof in a black gloss PPF, and it completely transformed the car. It looks like a panoramic roof now--clean, elevated, honestly more expensive. It was such a strong recommendation, and I'm really glad I trusted it. We also talked about window tinting, and after this experience, I'm already planning to come back. The level of professionalism, the clarity, the care--it's consistent across everything they do. When you get PPF you get a followup appointment to ensure everything is curing properly. You can tell they work on luxury vehicles, there's a precision to their standards. But what stood out to me is that they bring that same level of care to anyone who walks in. No matter your vehicle, they are dedicated to making it feel top notch. That matters. I highly recommend them. Truly. Thank you Graphix Lab! Attaching photos of how shiny black gloss PPF looks.

    Got in contact with the business through Yelp to get a quote and they responded in a timely manner…read moreand came back to me with a reasonable quote for tinting my 2 front windows and the windshield. I opted for the ceramic tint, which is a bit more expensive but worth it! I was able to make a same day appointment.The business is located on a corner right across from a Valero gas station on San Bruno Ave. I arrived at my appointment time, but it did take awhile to check in the vehicle given it is only one person that handles the admin tasks. The staff at M Car Window Tint were super friendly and informative. The garage is decently big, can accommodate 3-4 cars. The small office has a small couch and you can get water while waiting. They also offer red bulls and sodas, but you do have to pay for those. The tint job for 2 front windows and the windshield took around 1-2 hours, which was super quick. They were very efficient and professional. My one issue was that there were some left over residue from the application of the tint, but I can overlook that since it was completed fairly quick and it was easily wiped off with a towel. They accept Zelle or cash(preferred) and credit cards(there is a fee for using credit cards). Payment was super quick and simple and they email you a invoice afterwards. Overall, I was satisfied with the work that was done and so far no peeling or bubbling after 2 weeks. Definitely recommend contacting them for your tinting needs! They also offer other services such as wraps/PPF as well.
