When shopping for a product, It's hard to look away from a business with 5 stars from a couple hundred people, so of course I dropped in. With thay said, as long as I live in the SFV, I am not letting anyone except Essential Tints touch my cars.

Essential Tints is definitely one of the best ppf shops in the valley. They did a phenomenal Job on my Porsche 911. I initially brought our fleet van for window tints and decided to bring my personal car in for PPF. Highly recommend them for all your PPF needs. Work is very clean and the customer service is amazing.

Essential Tints is your one stop shop for everything automotive care. When I first called them, Jon answered the phone and was able to give me a price for full body XPEL PPF as well as a ceramic coating. PPF is really hit or miss depending on the installer, and i can tell you that Essential Tints is a hit (see images below).
