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.

Sadly, another friendly, mom and pop business has gone by the wayside by way of new ownership here…read morein Marina. I moved here 5 years ago and, until recently, commuted daily to Livermore and back. During the first 4 years, I gassed my car exclusively at Chevron; partly because of convenience and partly because of consumer loyalty to a friendly and courteous owner and staff. Over the course of 4 years, I estimate I averaged $250 per week on the purchase of gas and in-store items. That works out to about $52,000 during this period. Then, new owners came along...Things have changed! The day new owners took over, several items in the store immediately increased in price...substantially! Also, the number of staff was reduced during the busy times of day. Suddenly, the place would close, during the day, so the lone staff member could take a break or lunch. Despite the obvious cut in customer service, I still purchased gas but rarely purchased in-store items as I felt the lone female employee (I'll refer to her as Miss Personality) came off as rude and disinterested. Fortunately, I've recently gained local employment. While I don't pay nearly as much for gas now, I have continued to purchase gas at this Chevron location...until now! This morning, I was greeted with a flat tire as I was leaving for work. Since I didn't have the time to deal with it at the time, I took my wife's car for the day. After work, I removed the flat tire and replaced it with the temporary spare so that I could take the flat tire in for repair. Unfortunately, nothing could be done for the tire today and I would be stuck with driving on the temporary spare tomorrow. As I was driving home, I decided to see how the spare was holding up. I pulled into Chevron to check the tire and found it was low on air. Since I had already filled my tank, AT THIS CHEVRON, a couple days ago, I thought maybe they would extend me the courtesy of turning on the air for me. WRONG!!! As I entered the store, Miss Personality was doing something with the coffee maker. While her back was toward me, I was certain she heard me enter so I waited to be acknowledged. After a few moments, with no response from her, I politely said "excuse me". Miss Personality stopped what she was doing, audibly sighed and turned to face me with a very annoyed look on her face. "Hi, I was wondering if you would turn the air on for me". Miss Personality responded, "The air will come on when you put 6 quarters in the machine". "You won't turn it on for me?" Her response, "Buy something and I will turn on the air!" Surprised, I replied that I've spent many thousands of dollars at this station and you won't turn on the air for me? She rudely repeated, "Buy something and I'll turn on the air for you!" I'm more sad than angry. The small, hometown feeling that I noticed when I moved here is disappearing a little each day. In this case, it started when new ownership took over Chevron. Raising prices and cutting service is the sad reality of today's society. I hope Miss Personality realizes the future, potential revenue that she lost for the price of 6 quarters (which she didn't get). I doubt she cares. This particular Chevron used to be bustling with activity. I've noticed that, in the last year or so, it seems to be a ghost town by comparison. Maybe I'm not the only one who has noticed the difference.

I had a really disappointing experience with Real Bros Auto Pros…read more I scheduled an appointment to have my window tint removed and replaced. This wasn't a small inconvenience--I took a full day off work (costing me about $700), drove over an hour to get there, and spent a good amount on gas since my car gets terrible mileage. When I arrived, I spoke with Alejandro--the same person who set up my appointment. After looking at my car, he refused to do the job. What really frustrated me was his reasoning: he admitted they are not capable of installing tint without leaving dirt, dust, or debris under the film. That completely contradicts what he told me when I first booked. I specifically asked about the quality of their installs, and he assured me they had zero tolerance for dirt or debris. That's the only reason I trusted them with the appointment. So I lost a day of income, time, and travel expenses for nothing. To make matters worse, Alejandro said he would Zelle me $100 to help cover the wasted trip and inconvenience. That never happened. Bottom line: poor communication, wasted time, and broken promises. I would strongly recommend finding a shop that is upfront about their capabilities and respects your time.

So off to this do-it-yourself place we went. It costs $1 per minute to use the sprayers, so you need to work quickly. The machine takes bills (but doesn't give change) and cards. We were to afraid to swipe our card in this outdoor machine, so we paid $10 for 8 minutes of the sprayer. We followed the instructions on which spray cycles to use (it's very simple and self-explanatory using their signage). We didn't come equipped with towels, which would've been ideal, but no matter. Our car still got clean for the most part, and it was with the $10. We will use this option again, but will bring towels next time. Note that the auto dryer is out of service. They also have vacuums you can use for a fee (we didn't).
