PPF recommendations in Toronto

Hi- can anyone recommend a top notch PPF shop in Toronto?

I’ve been to Wes in the Laird area and he did a *****ty job. I’ve also been to the guy near the airport. He’s OK but full of himself and not nearly as great as he thinks he is.

Auto bath Elite. They just did my GTS, flawless.

I have used others, they were anything but flawless.

Exoshield on the GT is a good idea -- the car gets hit with a lot of debris. Perhaps it's due to how low it is.

Talk to Martin @ Alphashine downtown

He has taken care of all my cars and will be wrapping my GTC when I get it...

For anyone doing full body PPF on the GT, note that the rear badges, especially the AMG letters, are not straight! They will be a challenge to put back exactly like they were from the factory.

PPF/Ceramic/Tint in Vaughan

Sujan @ Super Luxe Auto. Did full body PPF, ceramic coating & ceramic tints for my G wagon. Nice humble guy, amazing quality work + customer service. He only works on high end cars. To my understanding he used to work at Auto Bath Elite & started his own company.

Do yourself a favour & spend the extra money to get a quality job done. Lots of inexperienced guys using cheap film + poor workmanship. Pay the price once & get it over with.

Thanks for posting this. I met Sujan, seemed like a good guy.

I’ve been to 4-5 shops in the GTA. All were terrible or far from great. I won’t name names…
It’s not about cheap films or low prices - all the places I went seemed top notch and charged non-discount prices and all used XPEL.
The issues are centered around who actually does the work. When you visit the shops you’ll talk to the owner, who’ll point out the flaws in your existing PPF or paint. You’ll see impressive work on supercars… and think “great”!
Not necessarily - the work needs to be done by the right guy, and unfortunately these shops are a revolving door of talent.
Another issue can be communication: one shop simply didn’t communicate with its team. So you’d tell the manager to ensure the badges on the car were put back correctly (ie, not straight) and he wouldn’t actually tell the person doing the work.
