Brought Steve my 03' Silverado for paint correction and wound up going with a ceramic coating. I had it repainted 3 years ago and it has been through much neglect and abuse in that time including a botched repair on the front quarter that the dealer left large "curtains" on the clear coat.

Steve and Brittany were awesome to work with as well as the others. My 1994 Trans Am needed a pile of TLC and these folks delivered big time. I’drecommend them for all your needs plus a nice conversation. Thanks!!!!

Had my new Lexus done and let it sit in the garage for the next four days. Made a three day trip from Kemah up north of Dallas and back. Car look like it was just washed. No bugs or nothing. Very happy with the outcome

Brought Steve my 03' Silverado for paint correction and wound up going with a ceramic coating. I had it repainted 3 years ago and it has been through much neglect and abuse in that time including a botched repair on the front quarter that the dealer left large "curtains" on the clear coat. Well he corrected the curtains and put it back in better condition than after repaint. It looks absolutely incredible! It came out many times better than I ever expected! Thanks Steve for bringing the old girl back to life! Update!!! Brought my wife's car to Steve and he made it new again!! Definitely the best in the biz!!! Thanks Steve and Team!!!

I was very happy with the work that Ultimate Coatings and PPF did with my car! They were very nice and informative about the processes for PPF and Ceramic Coating, and I really liked how friendly everyone was. I would certainly go to them in the future for any other services or touch ups on the detailing.

Five stars all the way for Ultimate Coatings and PPF! I called them and they were able to get my truck in immediately! The customer service was phenomenal. Brittany took time to answer all my questions and helped me to choose the exact tint for my truck windows. The final product is stunning and my truck is much cooler with the ceramic tint. It’s refreshing to find a local shop that stands behind their work with such high standards!
