Automotive Paint Protection Sticker Shock? We Explain Why You May Be Paying Too Much For Automotive Surface Protection

Have you been considering having paint protection film or ceramic paint coating installed on your vehicle? Have you experienced sticker shock when inquiring on price for the installation? If so, this article was written to explain why that may be happening, why a higher price does not always indicate a better product / result. In fact, you may find that you can actually get a better product and installation for a lower price. Allow us to explain.

First, many of us have heard the saying “you get what you pay for”. While that is often true, when it comes to paint protection film and ceramic paint coatings, that is not always the case. Without a good understanding, you can actually pay more money for a lesser end result. There are several reasons why this may be the case.

• Higher Company Overhead - Many shops that install PPF and paint coatings have very high overheads that they need to cover. They have administrative staff. Often the ownership is not involved in the actual work. Their location might be a higher cost / rent area.
  
  Whatever the reason for the higher overhead, those costs need to be covered. That gets passed along in the prices charged and it often has no relationship to the quality of the products being used or the installation.

• Less Experienced Installers - Inexperienced installers often waste material during the installation. These materials are expensive and the result this wasted product is added costs getting passed along to the customer. You are essentially paying more money as a result of the lack of experience of the person doing the installation.
  
  Many employees at these shops are tasked with doing installations if a variety of things from window tint to car audio. While this is sold as a benefit of being a “one stop shop”, there simply isn’t the focus on the craft of surface protection. As the saying goes, “Jack of all trades, master of none”.

Now that you understand those points, you can see how Clear Bra Ohio is actually able to deliver a higher quality installation and final result and often be much less expensive than other shops. The reasons that is possible are as follows.

• Low Overhead - The people working on your vehicle at Clear Bra are the owner Keith and his son Bryson. Combined, they have over 25 years of actual installation experience. The people you speak to on the phone will either be Keith or Bryson and they are the same experienced artisans that will be working on your car. By not having higher costs associated with building overhead and admin staff, we can pass along those savings to our customers.

• Experienced Installers - As mentioned above, we have over 25 years of combined installation experience. We have literally spent years working with these materials and fine tuning our craft. In addition, we attend ongoing education to ensure we are at the absolute forefront of installation skills and knowledge.
  
  We focus specifically on paint protection films and ceramic paint coating. We take pride in every job that we do. It is not about quantity, it is about quality.
