Dan BilanTint & Mods

“Team WOT is excellent! I trust them for all my modifications and accessories. They tinted my truck two years ago, and there are still no bubbles or peeling. It looks just as fresh as the day it was installed.”

Adam ZentnerLeveling & Tires

“The team did a great job leveling and fitting new tires on my truck. Provided great expertise on the benefits and downsides of each component I was considering. Helped me make the most informed decision possible. Ended up with the exact look and performance that I wanted.”

“Ben and the Boys at WOT will take care of you always. They’ve tinted 2 brand new trucks for me so far and both came out great and looked great until the day I got rid of them. Would recommend to anyone”

Guides & Tips

A few honest answers to the questions we get asked most before someone books.

PPF vs. Ceramic Coating — Which Do You Need?

They solve different problems: PPF is a physical barrier against rock chips, while ceramic coating is a chemical layer for gloss, UV protection, and easier washing. Many owners run PPF on the front end and ceramic over the whole vehicle.

More on Ceramic Coating →

Is Ceramic Coating Worth It Over Wax?

Wax lasts weeks. A quality ceramic coating lasts years, adds real gloss and chemical resistance, and makes every wash faster because dirt and water release instead of sticking.

More on Ceramic Coating →

What Is Paint Correction?

Paint correction is machine polishing that removes swirl marks and oxidation to restore gloss. It’s a separate add-on from a standard detail, and the right first step before a ceramic coating.

How much does paint protection film cost?
It depends on coverage and vehicle. Partial-front packages start lower; full-vehicle coverage is the largest investment. We give a firm quote after seeing the vehicle, and financing is available.
More PPF questions →
Is ceramic coating worth it over a good wax?
Yes for most owners. Wax lasts weeks; a ceramic coating lasts years, adds real gloss and chemical resistance, and makes every wash faster because dirt and water release instead of sticking.
More ceramic coating questions →
Do you charge extra for pet hair or heavy stains on a detail?
Our listed detailing prices are estimates. Heavy pet hair, deep stains, or excessive dirt add time, so we confirm the final price when we see the vehicle.
More detailing questions →
Will a wrap damage my factory paint?
No. On factory paint in good condition, wrap film removes cleanly and actually protects the paint underneath from UV and light abrasion while it’s on.
More wrap questions →
Can I finance a custom build?
Yes. Builds are often several thousand dollars or more, so we offer financing to spread the cost. Ask for terms with your quote.
More custom build questions →
Do you offer financing on every service?
Yes — tint, PPF, ceramic coating, wraps, detailing, and full builds can all be financed. Ask for terms when you request your quote.
