"Even after overlooking the vehicle again at home, I just can’t get over the craftsmanship behind the PPF. You can’t even tell it’s on the vehicle—all of the graphics that come on the Super Bee were no match for the skill that Vive has in the PPF world."
"The film is virtually invisible and has not affected the color of my car's paint, only enhanced it. I can now drive with peace of mind knowing that my vehicle is protected from rock chips, scratches, and other potential damage."
"Had full front PPF, paint correction, and ceramic coating done on my CT5-V Blackwing. The pricing was transparent, and Vive didn't force any services on me. The communication was great, and services came out perfect."
"I called around and received over eight estimates. I asked many questions regarding the material and the process time. The companies charging less had a process that was way too short. The ones charging more had bad customer service."
"Brought in my newly acquired 2001 BMW for tint and detailing. Christian treated me and my old BMW like it was a brand new Lamborghini. Highly recommended!"
"Christian spoke with me and was very knowledgeable and honest about what I should do to help get my vehicle back where I want it to be!"

We stand behind every install because when you invest in protection, you deserve peace of mind.
If any product we install—whether it’s film, coating, tint, or wrap—fails due to a manufacturer defect, we’ll replace it. Simple as that.
If something’s off due to our installation, whether it’s a fit issue, bubbling, or poor adhesion, we’ll fix it.
Yes—we work by appointment only and will require a small deposit to hold your spot. Special-order fashion films (e.g., STEK colors/patterns) require prepayment of the material cost, which is non-refundable and includes tax and shipping. If you cancel, you can reschedule once or take possession of the special-order film.
We accept major credit cards, Apple Pay, cash, and check. For larger projects, we also offer financing options.
Yes—vehicles are stored inside our secured, climate-controlled facility. We can accommodate most SUVs and trucks, and we regularly handle large or specialty vehicles. For oversized requests (RVs, medium boats), share dimensions in advance and we’ll confirm fit and setup.
Dealerships usually outsource protection services to third-party contractors using entry-level film. We specialize exclusively in PPF, tint, and coatings, using manufacturer-certified installers and industry-leading materials backed by nationwide warranties.
We don’t limit you to in-house warranty—we simplify it. If anything ever needs attention, just bring the car to us and we’ll handle the paperwork and process with the manufacturer on your behalf. If you move, we’ll coordinate care with a certified partner near your next city. In practice, true product failures are extremely rare with top-tier brands; most issues in the industry come from rushed installs. If you see damage from road hazards or a coating that’s clogged from contamination, that’s not a warranty defect—but we’ll help you diagnose and fix it fast. Send photos/video or stop by—our team will make it easy.

Choosing the right paint protection film (PPF) is crucial. While XPEL is a well-known name, it's important to understand that the true value of PPF lies not just in the product but in the expertise and experience of the shop applying it. At Vivë Auto, we proudly use SunTek Films, a product that offers superior benefits over XPEL. Here's why.
Paint Protection isn't exactly cheap. Whether you let us install PPF or not, the old saying “you get what you pay for” really is true.
There are some PPF companies out there that you have seen online or some sort of marketing campaign, and probably left you with questionable “truth or lies” on what PPF actually is and its limitations. We're going to explain exactly what PPF is and more importantly what PPF is not. We want to provide you with the correct information, so you can have realistic expectations on what a PPF is and how it performs
