Had to come back to see what Raj and the team at MAR quality protection could do about my aged and hazed headlights. Let me tell you.....I was NOT disappointed! Back when I bought the car new I had the dealership ppf the headlights just as a precautionary unfortunately to my surprise they used a precut kit which usually only covers certain sections of the headlights leaving the rest open. Over the years with numerous car washes and the suns damaging rays, my car's headlights developed the haze and discoloration we all hate and dread. Adding insult to injury the precut kit developed hard lines around the surface of the lights. Seeing the amazing work Raj has done firsthand with paint restoration and paint protection film I asked him to tackle my headlights. He accepted with no hesitation and told me to give him the whole day with no worries. Dropped off my car with him at 7am and he and his team went to work. By the afternoon (2pm) I received a Text from Raj that the car was ready for pick up. Upon arrival and seeing my car.....speechless. Headlights were like new again! All the imperfections gone and Raj ppf'd from end to end The picture speaks for itself and the value he puts on his labor of love is under priced! MAR QP is amazing at what they specialized in. Please believe that they will come through for you, every single time! read more

100% recommended. My initial call with Raj was informative and he was detailed with his options. He's very responsive through the whole process as I was out of the country while they were working on my car. Couldn't be happier! read more

I typically don't write many reviews anymore, but had to give a shout out to Raj and the team at Mar Quality Protection. Shopped around for a wrap on my new Model 3 and came across Mar Quality Protection. Raj was super nice and explained everything to me to help me along the process. Out of all the quotes, they seemed to have the most reasonable prices compared to all the top tier shops in the bay. Raj was on point with communication and even answered quickly late in the night! Throughout the process, he kept me updated on the progress and kept to their word about timing and everything they promised. They were even able to help buff out some scratches that were unexpectedly found. The final product came out looking amazing as expected. Raj definitely took care of me and even went the extra mile to help me out with finalizing with some mud flaps and other ways to protect my car. Would highly recommend and will be going to them again in the future! read more

Going to keep this short as other have already spoken. Straight up this place is professional as can be. From the first interaction with Raj, I knew right away he was legit. He was very informative and pleasant to deal with. Answered all of my questions and follow up questions even after the visit. Booked my appointment with them (pro tip: they're booked way in advance so get on their list asap). Got my Tesla Model Y done here and I am super stoked about the workmanship of the end result. Initially I was set on Matte ppf but Raj informed me that the upkeep was a bit higher with Matte. And knowing myself, I probably wouldn't maintain it properly so I erred on the side of caution and selected gloss. Matte is a bit more expensive (not much) and he could have easily sold me on it but Raj took the time to match the ppf technology with the person, rather than making more profit, and thats admirable. Also, for the cheap asses reading this, the price is very very fair considering we're in the bay area. Bottom line: You will not be disappointed. You will take solace in the fact that your money will go along way here. The end result will be magnificent. read more

Had tint and ceramic coating done. The consultantion was very informative and Raj was very knowledgeable and patient with all the questions.

Thank you for the great job will come back for a ceramic touch up in a few. read more

If you're looking for a place to protect your investment look no further. MAR Quality Protection has exceeded all my expectation! I worked with Chris from the inception of my project. He was kind enough to invite me to his shop to check out his work. I got a chance to look at a Tesla Model Y in progress and a Rivian R1T that was pretty much ready for delivery, they both looked amazing! During the entire process of shopping vendors, I was never pressured by Michael at any point. The fact that he offered to have me come in and gave his honest opinion on all my questions that I had. In the end, he did encourage me to check around to other shops to ensure I found the best match. In the end after shopping a few vendors, I went with MAR Quality Protection. A few key points I'd like to emphasis: -GREAT communication -Educational -No pressure -Stand's behind their work I was expecting delivery of my Tesla Model X Plaid in October but dropped the bomb way early. If you have ordered a Tesla you know this pain. I am super happy that Michael was able to accommodate such notice. Personally I ended up with a STEK full clear PPF that was truly custom and that all of the edges were tucked away. Lesson learned from precut PPF. Michael was also was able to get my tint done at the same time while my Model X Plaid was in the shop. 5% all around and 70% windshield. This was completed with SunStopper. While the care was sitting outside, the heat rejection did its job, I look forward with further testing. Thank you Michael and the entire team at MARQP! read more

Highly recommend the Tesla Combo Package! My car has been looking pristine since I got it done 8 month ago when it was brand new. PPF and ceramic coatings make car wash so effortless and easy because of its hydrophobic, self healing properties. Michael and his team are beyond professional and are attentive to every little detail from the start of consultation to finish. He makes sure that the PPF is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also stays on for max years by not having any exposed gaps around the edge of the panels. This is high quality work. They are very knowledgeable in their field and are passionate about what they do, which made us feel confident about the work they put out. Their website and instagram @mar.qp have a lot of helpful information too. Most importantly, their pricing and services are unrivaled in the bay area! read more

Came to MAR for Full Front PPF on the family's GX and could not have been more pleased with the result. Attention to detail is literally their primary focus and they did not disappoint. Michael and the team will take the utmost care of your vehicle as if it were their own. They are extremely thorough and gave me regular updates throughout the process. Precision and excellent customer service is tough to find in the automotive service industry and I will gladly pay a premium again for them to work on any future vehicle that needs it. The other 5 star reviews are legit. I'll be telling everyone I know about the excellent work product they put out. read more

Raj took my car in and it cane out better than expected! They even cleaned up the PPF that was peeling from rock chips.

Long term review. I brought my new car here right after picking it up late 2020. Scheduling drop off was convenient and the prices were reasonable. This was two years ago. I had the front ppf and ceramic coating applied. So far it has protected the hood, bumpers, fenders and mirrors from nasty rock impacts. Raj also provided great advice on washing and caring for the paint. Since then I've not had any noticable swirl marks when carefully hand washing the vehicle. I also appreciated the careful installation of the film and how each vehicle is treated equally no matter it's cost. read more

Mar Quality Protection - Detailing before ceramic application (2020) - Auto Detailing Near Me - Newark, California

Honestly, Raj & co. are fantastic. From the start, Raj was professional and attentive, gave me a reasonable quote right away, and was realistic about what could/couldn't be done. He was very knowledgeable about basically every car, including mine, which is always a relief. The attention to detail is amazing, and it's always good when the person detailing your car is OCD like you are (or rather, like I am, lol). Service was prompt and professional - they sent me regular updates via text, and communicated clearly every step of the way. I never like leaving my baby somewhere for too long, but my car was safe, and they didn't add a single mile to it in my absence. The ceramic coating (Kenzo 9H, 4-year) so far seems to be high quality (really does feel silky when you touch the car) and very uniformly applied, and the clear wrap on my headlights is almost invisible. Cheaper and superior in quality to my friend's dealer-applied CilaJet coating. If you are looking for detailing, coatings, wraps, etc. I can't recommend these guys highly enough. I normally don't drive across the Bay to get work done, but it was worth it this time. Well worth the trek to Newark, wherever in the Bay you are! Thanks Raj and the rest of MAR! You've earned a lifetime customer - I'll be bringing my second car for a ceramic coating once I get it repainted, and I've already referred my other friends and family to this business. read more

Mar Quality Protection - Auto Detailing Near Me - Newark, California

Let me first start off by saying that I hardly ever write reviews, but felt it necessary to share the AWESOME experience I had with MAR Quality Protection, and in particular, the co-owner Mike. Prior to taking delivery of my new Porsche, I spent several hours researching, reading Yelp reviews, and speaking with about a dozen or so other installers in the Bay Area to ask about their services and pricing of clear bra and ceramic coating. Mike was the most responsive and offered very competitive pricing. His response time was so fast that he sent me a text 10 minutes after my initial inquiry (which was in the latter part of the evening) - wow! My car had partial clear bra previously installed at the Porsche dealership I bought it from. However, I didn't like the line across the hood and was looking to have fuller coverage and add ceramic coating. Mike thoroughly answered my initial questions (via text), and I agreed to take my car to his shop the following week so that he can get a closer look in person and provide a more accurate quote. Other shops I received quotes were asking for over $9,000 for the type of services I wanted (which I find utterly ridiculous unless you have that much money to burn). I ended up buying the "Combo Package 2", which includes Stage 1 paint correction, full frontal clear bra (Suntek w/10-yr warranty), full exterior ceramic coating (upgraded to two layers and 4-yr warranty). I also added ceramic coating on my wheels and brake calipers. Clear bra was also added to both doors and rocker panels. I initially didn't plan on purchasing that much protection and only wanted coverage on the high impact areas, but as soon as Mike provided pricing which I thought was more than reasonable, I decided to purchase the additional coverage. There was absolutely no upsell or pressure from Mike or his partner, and I felt very comfortable and trusted their advice. In the end, they were nice enough to throw in protection on the rear bumper strip and even customized the side mirrors for me - totally awesome - THANK YOU!! Even though my Porsche is a new car, you don't realize that the dealership can sometime leave swirl or scratch marks if they aren't careful with the type of wash they use - Mike was able to point this out with fine inspection, which he cleared up with Stage 1 and in some instances Stage 2 correction. Once they completed the install, I was very happy with their work. The quality was very good such that they wrapped the clear bra around edges (where appropriate) so that the lines would not be visible. On top of that, they were very fast. I dropped my car Friday morning and received it back Tues evening. Their customer service was awesome too. Mike would frequently text pictures to show the progress of the work. They just texted me this morning (3 days after my pick-up) to check on how things were going. Would I go back there again? Yes definitely! The quality, service and pricing makes it a no-brainer. I will be in the market for a new SUV next year and will make sure to see Mike and team. I hope my review helps others if they are in the market for clear bra or ceramic coating. read more

Mike was great from the moment I reached out to him. We took in our 2021 Toyota 4-Runner in to get vermeil coated and tinted. He is professional and detailed. He took his time to break things down and answered all of our questions and concerns. Will definitely recommends our friends and family to him for their ceramic coating and tinting needs. We ended up bringing both cars to get the same service. Wonderful experience and a pleasure doing business with Mike. Trang H. read more

I brought my BMW 535i (F10) here for a makeover of sorts. Raj took great care of me and my car. I ended up getting the 2-stage paint correction, 2-year ceramic coating, powder coating of the rims (satin black), and tinting of the tail lights and reflectors. He also swapped out the BMW emblems for black-and-white versions, swapped the chrome side markers for gloss black versions, and blacked out the chrome in the door handles. The quality of the work was impeccable; Raj pays close attention to detail and clearly loves what he does. He had some great ideas of his own about the project that ended up working out really well. He also kept me posted on his progress and texted me pics of the car as the makeover came together. When I picked up the car, Raj went over their maintenance recommendations and provided some great suggestions on washing supplies, techniques, guidelines, etc. Their quote was reasonable and much lower than what I would have paid on the other side of the Bay. They didn't require a deposit to schedule the work and didn't charge me for the labor of swapping out the emblems even though that wasn't initially contemplated. To top it off, Raj finished the job a full day ahead of schedule. Working with MAR was an excellent experience all around. I really can't say enough positive things about Raj and his team. read more

What a great place! Raj was a fantastic guy. His business partner and he responded to my quote request on the weekend. They asked some questions and had me come down the next business day. Someone scratched my clear wrap so bad they tore it in multiple places. Raj gave a very fair price and confirmed they use the top of the line Suntek Ultra Clear product. They took off the damaged area a week later when they squeezed me in and replaced it with a new piece. Raj also removed the two rear rock guard shark fins which were turning color (factory ones do this) and put two new ones on included in my repair job. I am definitely coming back to do some more wraps on my doors so they don't get damaged any longer. Great experience, very nice and professional, and fantastic quality of work. I am definitely coming back soon. 5 stars all the way. read more

Mar Quality Protection - Stage 2 paint correction + ceramic coating - Auto Detailing Near Me - Newark, California

When I got my Model 3 I debated whether or not to get PPF and a ceramic coating. I wanted it but it was difficult to choose the shop and options. I'm soo glad I went with Raj at Mar Quality Protection and I can't imagine a better experience. I initially texted Raj and he walked me through the options and pricing. He explained what works best for a Model 3 and described their methods and products. Raj suggested Suntek PPF (10 year warranty) and a full body IGL ceramic coating which is good for 2 years. The car turned out amazing and you can see the pics below! I chose MQP because of the friendly service, easy communication, and reasonable pricing. Raj explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and not at all snobby or arrogant. It felt like I'm important and I was treated well throughout. Raj said that by now they've worked on 300-400 Model 3 cars. I also had a Kenriko console wrap kit with me that they offered to install for free. Amazing work, great service, and a friendly shop owner. Can't ask for anything more. read more

Review #2: 1 year update! I got my Mazda 3 ceramic coated and PPF'd exactly a year ago. I'm happy to see the ceramic coating has continued to shine and keep my car looking fantastic. Even today, my car continuously gets compliments from people around me. She still shines and cleans very well. Would definitely recommend! Perfect condition after a year. I'm considering getting a second car as well, and will definitely get it coated again at MAR. read more

Raj is the man! I'm the type of person to spend hours researching a topic online before making a decision. Mar Quality Protection kept getting mentioned in car forums and Reddit, so I decided to give them a try. Raj is a super chill guy, and he does not try to pressure you at all. Instead, he answers all of your questions with lots of details, and he tries to help you make the best decision for your car. He strikes me as the type of guy who really loves cars and really loves his job (rather than someone trying to make a quick buck). The work that they do here is phenomenal--they made my 6 year old BMW 4 series look brand new. I'll have to add some photos once I get a chance, but they really did an amazing job with the paint correction. Raj also threw in a bunch of additional work for free (I felt bad so I tipped him extra, but he did all of the work unsolicited and without charge). Needless to say, I will bring each and every one of my future vehicles here for PPF and ceramic coating. The quality of work is top notch, and the price is unbeatable. Thank you Raj! read more

Did a paint correction and 2 year ceramic coat inside and out for my Tesla Model 3. Raj, the owner, was very easy to communicate with. He was transparent with the pricing and offered me a quote that was so much better than the other shops I talked to. He answered all my questions, walked me through the coating process and made everything easy to understand. The work he did on my car was perfect and I am very happy with the results. He explained everything I needed to know about caring for the vehicle and was responsive to all my other questions. I would seriously recommend coming here to get your vehicle coated and I'm sure they will provide quality work if you decide to do their other services as well. p.s. for the model 3 owners out there, you know your center console is a dust and fingerprint magnet. If you bring in one of those center console wraps, Raj can easily install that for you in less than 15mins. I know it would've taken me over an hour to install it myself. read more

Got my car done with PPF/Ceramic partial front Suntek/IGL Quartz. Car is extremly glossy now and is protected from rock chips! I did my research because when it comes to my car I am as picky as it gets. I found this gem on a Facebook Tesla user group by another user who suggested them. Looking them up I found that they are very experienced with Teslas and emailed Raj. Raj ended up sending a lot of pictures from work that he's done with other Model 3s. Answered the many questions I had since its my first time with PPF/Ceramic and booked me for an install. When I got there - He was very thorough about the process and gave me time to ask any other questions/concerns. He also knew of a few issues that I was having with my Model 3 and knew how to work around them since he has seen them quite often. If you follow Mar QP on Instagram he will also post progress videos/pictures of your car! Love that he does this. Picked it up the next day and he gave me a maintenance rundown. You can't go wrong with them. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review in all these years, so this is long overdue. I brought my car in for ceramic coating in 2020 and was extremely impressed with the results. I remember Raj being personable and really helpful that allowed me to feel at ease when dropping off the vehicle. Recently I brought in my car for second round of paint protection and I'm really amazed at how great these guys are at what they do. The shop itself is always well kept and easy to navigate. What I remembered liking from the start was their transparency in pricing & services from their website along with the work they execute on a daily basis. Cheers Raj and to the MAR team! read more

Raj is the best , he did ppf and ceramic coating on both of my cars Tesla Model Y and BMW X5.

I'm extremely happy with the results on both my vehicles. Great value, top notch quality and very pleasant experience overall. read more

Good group of people. Mike communicated very well and with details. We wrapped (except the back) and coated the car. We had to wait for the manufacturer to fix a part of our car before MAR can do their work. Unfortunately, the manufacturer screwed up multiple times, so we had to wait 2+ months. MAR did their work well and promptly once our car was ready. read more

Look no further, MAR QP is the go-to spot for PPF and ceramic coating. Raj and his team applied a 2 year ceramic coating and partial front PPF on my new GMC Sierra AT4. The truck came out silky smooth to the touch and is a breeze to wash and dry (with a leaf blower). Extremely satisfied with the results. Raj was very responsive throughout the whole process. He went through the various options and helped me decide which made the most sense based on where the vehicle is stored and how long i plan to keep it. Kudos to Raj and his team. They are legit. read more

I was in a hurry to wash my car yesterday and was able to do a two bucket wash with air dry in under 30 minutes with minimal effort.

No yellowing on the PPF either. I believe this picture speaks for itself. THANKS MIKE AND RAJ! read more

I was involved in an accident and the front of the car was damaged. The car had clear bra done elsewhere and Mike and the team did a even better job than before. Mike went above and beyond to make it look better and added a few extra touches to it. The attention to detail that they put in their work is amazing. I also had a ceramic coating done and let me tell you. When I picked up the car it was completely a different car. I didn't even know that my paint had a pearl to it because I had never seen it that shiny lol. With my crappy luck my car just recently had the small vent window broken and Mike was able to put a tint back on the car. These guys are complete life savers and they wont disappoint! read more

I got my Tesla Model Y in Dec 2020 and was thinking to do ceramic coating and did a lot of research. I am lucky to find a local shop that can do this work. After I search online and read some reviews, I decided to call Raj and made a appointment. Raj is the guy, who spent 30 minutes to talk over all the options that are available, the pro and cons. I finally decided to go with combo 2, ceramic coating+ front clear bra kit. That's what I would recommend for Tesla Model Y owner. In addition to the bra kit, Raj added fin PPF for me as I found there were some design issues with Tesla Model Y that could damage that area. I would say I am very pleased with all the work and service that Mar Profection has done for me. The color correction was much better than the original car color right after the factory, you will be surprised to see how many scratches there. Raj even went beyond to help me fix my door scratch that I did one week earlier. In addition, Raj taught me how to correctly wash my car and maintain my car after the service and introduce me the location to do touchless car washer, etc. The service that I got is beyond the money I paid. In addition, I felt I have made a friend there, that someone who I can trust and talk after the service. Needless to say, I will recommend my friends who get new cars to this place in the future. Thanks Raj !!! read more

They have really great people and I think that makes a big difference. Raj is super chill and non-pressuring, and he talked me through everything I needed to know to make an informed decision. Throughout the process Raj texted me updates and pictures of each stage, and they went above and beyond to clear out many previously damaged water marks, scratches, and other residues from the paint than I had expected. Price wise I think this is the best bang for your buck - you can def find cheaper or more expensive places on yelp, but I think for the high caliber job they've done, this is the best option to optimize your utility and costs. The $500 cheaper option probably won't be nearly as good, and the $2000 more option probably isn't necessary for most people's non-exotic cars. read more

It was a great pleasure working with Raj and the team at Mar Quality Protection to have PPF installed on my Tesla Model 3. Raj answered every question I had regarding PPF before and after the installation clearing any self-doubts. Raj also took the initiative to update me on my car's progress. Raj even stayed after store hours to allow me to pick up my car and even took the time to explain the entire installation process in-depth. I am ecstatic about the final results and would strongly encourage friends, family, and Yelp reviewers to visit this shop as I promise you will be in good hands. read more
