Whether you want...

Flawless PPF application to protect the vehicle you love.

"The PPF is flawless, absolutely flawless."

"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."

– Na. H, Vive Auto Customer

Peace of mind that your PPF is applied correctly the frst time.

"The installation process was seamless and the end result was flawless."

"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."

– Eric Chetlin, Vive Auto Customer

Transparent pricing and no pushy upsells.

"Money well spent"

"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."

– Marcus McNeil, Vive Auto Customer

Exceptional customer service.

 "I chose Vive because they took care of my vehicle and my interests from start to finish"

"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."

– Catherine Thomas, Vive Auto Customer

A shop to treat your vehicles if it were their own.

"Very impressed with the treatment and the work"

"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!"

– David Wright, Vive Auto Customer

Honest recommendations.

"He gave me all the different options and recommended what I should do first—didn’t try to oversell me either."

"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!"

– Michael Aymo, Vive Auto Customer

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find the answer you're looking for?

Talk to an Expert

Do you require a deposit?

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.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept major credit cards, Apple Pay, cash, and check. For larger projects, we also offer financing options.

Do you store vehicles indoors? Can you fit larger vehicles?

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.

What makes Vivë different from the dealership?

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.

Why do you “warranty in-house”?

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.

What makes Vivë different?

Vivë Auto is a proudly local, family-owned business — not a franchise, not a dealership, and not backed by investors. We started right here in Houston and have grown through hard work, transparency, and a commitment to delivering five-star experiences every time.

Our mission is simple: to redefine automotive care through craftsmanship, honesty, and service that feels personal.

  • Family-Friendly Service: We treat every customer like family and your vehicle like our own.
  • Integrity: We do what’s right — always. No shortcuts, no upselling what you don’t need.
  • Excellence: Every service meets the highest standard of precision and care.
  • Accountability: If there’s ever an issue, we stand behind our work. No disappearing acts, no excuses.
  • Reliability: You can always reach us — our team and facility are here, not a pop-up or traveling installer.
  • Servant Leadership: We put our customers and team first in every decision we make.
  • Vetted Technicians: Every technician is highly trained, background-checked, drug-tested, and certified through our rigorous in-house training program.

We’re homegrown Houston — built on trust, values, and craftsmanship that lasts.

Why should I choose Vivë Auto over another shop?

Since 2007, Vivë Auto is locally, family owned and operated small business and has been Houston’s top-rated car care studio for premium PPF, tint, and ceramic coatings. Every vehicle is treated like our own by master-certified technicians using exclusive products such as Modesta and Llumar FormulaOne. Our clean, climate-controlled facility ensures precision work and an unmatched customer experience.

Do you have insurance?

Absolutely. We carry full commercial coverage—including garage keepers, general liability, and on-road coverage to drive your vehicle when required. That means whether it’s weather, theft, accidental damage, or an unforeseen incident, your vehicle is protected in our care.

Do you offer loaner cars?

Yes—complimentary loaner cars are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you’d like one, let us know when booking so we can reserve it and confirm license/insurance. We also have rideshare support if a loaner isn’t available that day.

Is XPEL the Best Paint Protection Film for Your Car?

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.
