Also tinted the windows, best work I have seen. Jeremiah WinfreeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough good things about John and the team at Gulf Coast Auto Shield. They recently took care of my Tacoma Trailhunter with full ceramic tint, full stealth PPF, and even sourced my new wheels and tires — and as always, the results were flawless. John consistently goes above and beyond, and his attention to detail and commitment to quality are unmatched. His team is professional, efficient, and truly passionate about what they do. I’ve been bringing my vehicles to him for years and will continue to do so without hesitation. It’s rare to find this level of customer service, quality, and trustworthiness in the auto industry. Highly recommend! Andrea KnowltonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I finally feel like the car is protected and presented the way it should’ve been from the start, and I have Gulf Coast Auto Shield to thank for it. After a costly and frustrating experience with a previous shop that left me disappointed with the results, GCAS stepped in and did everything right — no excuses, no ego, just execution. They performed proper paint correction, reinstalled PPF and tint using XPEL brand (they hold the prestigious dealer of the year title for 8 years in a row!), applied GlassParency to the glass, and finished with Protech Signature ceramic coating. The difference in quality, communication and trust was night and day. All protection now has registered warranty coverage as well, which was something I heavily valued. I'm still out a few thousand dollars and dealing with the fallout from the first shop, but GCAS made sure that at least the car is finally where it should be. If you care about your vehicle and your peace of mind, this is the team to go to.
