First I want to say this place is expensive. If you have come looking for a budget time this place is not for you. However, I am an automotive industry professional myself having worked at car dealerships, body shops and now own a fleet of limousine vehicles which I keep up myself. I know that in this industry you get what you pay for. If you pay less, thats exactly what you get.
I did have a 2018 Lincoln Navigator which after 1 year started to look like an old car. Rocks hit the hood and various scratches throughout. It was horrible. Thus this time around with my 2021 Lincoln Navigator I chose to do Xpel PPF and ceramic coating. I tried this one shop in Summit NJ and they said they had a waiting list a month long. The customer service was horrible. So I called Extreme Motorsports and they got my car coated and filmed up exactly when I wanted to get it done.
I was shocked by the price, but when a car gets damaged like rock chips on the hood its not easily fixed and can get very expensive. Once a car is repaired in a bodyshop its never perfect and you can usually tell it was repaired. So the price you pay for the film and ceramic coating is actually quite small compared to the damage that can occur without it.
When the car was delivered back to me it looked like a show car. Now a few weeks later...and I drive very heavily...it still looks great!
I can advise anyone who gets PPF and Ceramic Coating not to send it through a car wash...ever. Do not hit it with a water house or wand. Simply get Adams Detail Spray (pink liquid) and Adams CS3 spray along with soft microfiber. Spray it with the liquid and wipe off. Dont get any aggressive than that. If it does get really dirty than rinse it with a low pressure wand at a self service wash and use Adams Detail Spray than wipe down. In general you want to use the Detail Spray and wipe so as not to disturb the coatings.
Lastly, they got everything done that I wanted and accommodated my requests. When I got the car back the PPF was perfect. The thing about PPF is you should not be able to tell that its on there and you have to look really close and hard to figure it out that it has film. I could not tell that it had PPF. I can say honestly this was a 100% job!
Attached are two pictures of my Navigator and you will...
Read moreMy daughter bought me an Avital 4103LX remote starter and electonic key lock from Amazon for my birthday recently...figuring that her father is pretty handy with stuff and can install it by himself. Love the gift and thankful to receive it, BUT after youtubing and googling how to install this stuff..no way. That's why they have professionals to do these things and I'm not risking messing up my ride (Subaru Outback 2011) doing it. I've always noticed their storefront on the way home from work a few times, so I decided to give it a shot. I live nearby and it was my day off. Stopped in to inquire about the installation and cost. The people that greeted me were very nice and professional. Although my remote starter was bought at another place, they gave me a price I was fine with. A family business, with the husband (Joe) and his employees doing and overseeing the installations and the wife (Jen) taking care of the business/ front office. They both explained everything and made me feel comfortable about using their services. They were busy and I was expecting to make an appointment to come back and have it installed, but they were able to fit me in 30 minutes later that day...GREAT! Came back, dropped off the car. Jen told me about an hour and a half and that she would call me. An hour later..gotta call from Jen that it was ready. VERY FAST!! Picked it up and Jen showed me what to do and how to operate the remote starter and electronic keylocks. Answered all my questions. WORKS GREAT!!!!!! Very happy with the work. Nice and clean install. You can barely tell that they were in my Outback. Quick and great service. The work is guaranteed for 3 years. NICE... I would wholeheartedly recommend going to them for their services and most definitely use them again! Also, they travel to clients...
Read moreI was having an issue with my JL Audio subwoofer that I thought was due to its 15-year age but Joe diagnosed the problem as a battery issue over the phone just based off my description.
While replacing the battery, I expressed interest in a 4-channel amp for my front component and rear coaxial speakers. Crutchfield was selling me on a very expensive unit that Andy explained was unnecessary overkill, both in terms of unit price and labor required to tune it.
Andy let me know precisely which equipment he would need so I could do my own shopping online and I saved a ton on the amp, line output converter and RCA cables. Then during installation, he felt it didn't quite sound right at the scheduled time for pickup, so I left it overnight and the team fine tuned it at no extra charge for additional labor hours.
My system sounds pristine. Unbelievably awesome. EMS is a team of experienced, polished professionals. I feel spoiled by their diligence, the value of their expertise, and the quality...
