Excellent experience getting our vehicle undercoated with fluid film here. John was extremely helpful, was very thorough, and the price was fair. Will absolutely be back.

The attention to detail and quality of work is great. Will be my go to shop for Fluid Film. The black Fluid Film on the frame along with the spray for cavities on the body was done great. They went above and beyond with getting spots on the fenders and bumper that you could easily skip over. They even hit some of the rust I had on the door frame. I am beyond happy with the end result and they were extremely reasonable with it. Great shop!
