I recently brought my 2021 Tesla Model Y to Detail Authority for a protective film wrap, and they did an astounding job. Prior to choosing them, I contacted several other shops for information. Detail Authority stood out with their thorough responses and willingness to answer all my questions. The craftsmanship on the wrap is incredible. Even though my vehicle is 5 years old, it looks showroom new. The technicians wrapped the edges so carefully that you cannot tell there is film on the car. The attention to detail blew me away. When I picked up the vehicle, the team took the time to walk me through the finished work in person and shared some great long-term maintenance tips to keep the film looking its best. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. Paul and Dan are great to work with. They have a professional team, deliver high-quality work, and provide excellent customer service. I highly recommend them!

I recently brought my vehicle to Detail Authority for tint, PPF, and ceramic coating work. Since this was my first time doing paint protection and tint together, I reached out to several shops for quotes and had a lot of questions. Out of all the places I contacted, Detail Authority stood out immediately with their quick responses, detailed and competitive quote, and willingness to thoroughly answer every question I had. When I picked up the car, it honestly looked showroom ready. The finish was incredibly smooth and the overall quality of the work exceeded my expectations. Dan took the time to walk me through everything in person, answered all my follow-up questions, and even gave me extra care tips to help maintain that fresh showroom look long term. I’m especially happy with the tint work. I wanted to find the right balance between achieving a clean, aggressive look against the black paint while still maintaining good nighttime visibility. The team was patient and helpful throughout the process while we figured out the perfect setup. Overall, great experience from start to finish. Professional team, high-quality work, and excellent customer service. Highly recommend.

Communication was 💯 and any concerns or questions I had, they made sure they addressed them. Very professional shop, I highly recommend!

Detail Authority peeps really know their stuff. I first used their services for paint protection film (PPF) on my first car. Loved their work so when I purchased a new car, I took it back for ceramic coating, PPF, and window tinting. I liked how quickly and professionally they respond to my needs and wants. I plan to use their services continually as they do a good job.

I just had our new 2026 BMW X3 done. Had XPEL PPF on entire front and ceramic coating on entire car including glass. The car looks great! Paul and Dan were easy to work with. I recommend Detail Authority.
