Four services, one shop, one crew.
Everything is done in-house at the Vista Alameda bay — which means if you're doing more than one, we can sequence it properly instead of sending you across town.
Why people pick this shop over the one down the road.
No claims here we can't back up. If something matters to you that isn't on this list, ask us — we'll give you a straight answer.
You deal with the people doing the work
Angelo owns the shop and is in it. There's no service writer in the middle, no quote from someone who's never seen your car — you talk to the person who's going to install the film.
All four services under one roof
Tint, paint protection film, ceramic coating and detailing are all done here. That matters more than it sounds: doing them in one visit means the prep only happens once and the work gets sequenced in the right order.
We'll tell you what you don't need
Plenty of cars don't need ceramic film, and almost nobody needs a full body wrap to fix a chipped bumper. Talking someone out of the expensive option is how you get the phone call two years later.
A named crew, not a rotating cast
Angelo, Sergio and Ruben are on the About page with their faces and what they do. You'll know who's working on your car before you drop it off.
Rated 5.0 on Google
Across every review the shop has, going back to when it traded as MAD Detailing NM. Same owner, same crew, same address — the name on the sign changed, nothing else did.
Buildings and homes too
The same solar film goes on offices, storefronts, restaurants and houses across the metro. If the sun is a problem on your building as well as your car, it's one call.
Cars that have actually been through the bay.
Every photo on this site was taken at the shop. No stock photography, no other shop's portfolio.
What it looks like in the bay, and what you pick up.
Same car, same afternoon. Film going onto the door glass, and the finished result before it went back to its owner.
From first message to picking it up.
No mystery pricing and no surprises at the counter. Here's the whole thing.

The things people ask before they book.
Can't see yours? Call the shop — we'd rather answer it than have you guess.
Our prices are published on the window tint page — carbon and ceramic, by vehicle size, with windshield and roof add-ons listed. They're the same numbers we quote at the counter. The only things that move them are stripping failed old film, or unusually shaped glass, and we'll tell you before we start rather than at pickup.
Yes, and New Mexico is more permissive than most states: 20% VLT is allowed on the front sides, rear sides and rear window. The windshield is limited to non-reflective film above the AS-1 line. Our New Mexico tint law guide covers the detail.
Most people are happiest with something lighter on the front sides and 20% behind the B-pillar — privacy where it counts, night visibility where you need it. If heat is the real problem, the film tier matters more than the number.
Yes, and measurably. Most of the heat you feel is infrared, and ceramic films are built to reject infrared specifically rather than just darkening the glass. That's why a light ceramic film can keep a car cooler than much darker cheap film. It won't turn a hot car cold on its own.
It depends on the vehicle and how much glass it has — most of the work is preparing the glass, not laying the film. We'll give you a realistic window when you book rather than a number that makes us rush a rear window.
Years rather than months, and the honest answer depends on the coating and on how the car is washed. A coated car put through spinning brushes every fortnight won't go the distance. We'll give you the realistic figure for the product we're quoting.
In this climate, more than most. UV at 5,300 feet and hard water are exactly what a coating is best at resisting. If the car lives outside, it earns its keep. If it's garaged and you're selling next year, we'll tell you it's a harder argument. Coating prices are published on the ceramic coating page; what varies is the paint correction underneath.
Impact and abrasion — rock chips, road debris, sand, bug etching and light scratches. It is not body armour: it won't help in a collision or stop a door ding. For UV and chemical damage you want a ceramic coating instead.
An interior detail is a couple of hours of solid work, and a full interior-and-exterior is most of a day. Paint correction is quoted by condition once we've seen the paint.
Walk-ins are welcome and we'll always take a look. For anything beyond a wash, calling ahead means we can set the time aside properly.
Constantly — probably more than sedans. Larger vehicles have more glass and more panels, so they take longer and are priced accordingly. You'll get the number before we start.
Yes. The same solar-control and security films go on offices, storefronts, warehouses, restaurants and houses across the Albuquerque metro, and we come to you for those. There's a separate page for it.
More detail in our guides and the New Mexico tint law guide.
