Ceramic & PPF are quoted to your car.
Every car's paint, condition, and coverage needs are different - a blanket price would either overcharge you or cut corners. San Diego sun and coastal air are hard on clear coat - protection here isn't cosmetic. Tell us what you drive and you'll get a straight number, usually the same day.

“The 911 came back looking better than delivery day. Marcus walked me around the car with a light and showed me every panel before I paid a cent.”
★★★★★
“Two years of kid chaos in the back of my X5 - gone. It genuinely smells and feels like the day we bought it.”
★★★★★
“Full-front PPF on my Model 3 and you cannot find an edge anywhere. I've sent three friends already.”
★★★★★
“Ceramic on my wife's Macan and then my GT3. Eight months in, the beading is still addictive and washes take half the time.”
★★★★★
“Lease turn-in saved me a fortune - they corrected scratches the dealer had quoted $1,800 for.”
★★★★★
“The Maintenance keeps my Tacoma looking new - in and out in two hours, every single time.”
The studio
Everything matters.
The wheel barrel nobody sees. The jamb behind the hinge. The two centimeters of film edge you'd never notice - until it lifts. Our whole standard is built on the parts most shops skip, because that's where a detail either lasts or doesn't.
Coastline is a two-person studio, on purpose. Your car gets one bay, our full attention, and a finish we're willing to put our name under.

Questions
Asked before every booking.
How long will my car be with you?
Maintenance details are 2-3 hours, full details are a day, and correction or coating work runs 1-3 days depending on condition. PPF installs are typically 2-4 days. We'll give you an exact window with your quote - and we hit it.
Is ceramic coating actually worth it over wax?
Wax lasts weeks. A properly applied ceramic coating lasts years - it resists UV, chemicals, and light scratching, and makes every wash faster and safer. If you plan to keep the car more than a year, it pays for itself in kept value and saved time.
Will paint protection film yellow or peel?
The films we install carry a 10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking, and delamination. Yellowing was a real problem with films from 15 years ago - modern film, properly installed with wrapped edges, is a different product entirely.
Do I need paint correction before a coating?
Usually some, yes - a coating locks in whatever is underneath it, including swirls. We'll assess your paint under the lights and tell you honestly how much correction it needs. Sometimes it's a single stage; sometimes it's barely any.
What if I'm not happy with the result?
You inspect the car with us under studio lights before you pay. If anything isn't right, we fix it before it leaves - that's the standard the whole studio runs on.
