Advanced Vehicle Outfitters

Recommended to me as top shop in the S.F. Bay Area. Reached out to them. Awaiting response.

Could not be any happier with the experience. Steve, the owner, is such a nice guy and so easy to talk to I would end up talking to him for over 20 minutes every time I called him (the first for pricing and the next to schedule an appointment). Pricing was competitive and the job, well… it is absolutely immaculate.
I can’t believe these guys freehand these cuts. THEY ARE PERFECT!!! I mean, seriously, these guys should be surgeons with such precision. They also didn’t skimp on the clear bra material. The coverage is very generous. I paid for a basic, entry-​level package on my Mazda CX-​5 and got half my hood done (which is plenty in my mind), my headlights, front bumper, side mirrors, door cups, and door edges.
The customer service was great too. Like I said, Steve, the owner, is great. On the day of my appointment, something came up and I had to get my niece from day care because she fell ill so I was 30 minutes late to my appointment. Steve, Ay, and Seng were extremely understanding, accommodating, and friendly. The job took a few hours, but they had a small office with a desk and wi-​fi so I could get some work done that I brought with me.
I was so happy with the job and the overall experience that I tipped them over $ 100 dollars. The reason being, you just don’t get service like this anymore, so when you do, it’s only right to recognize and reward it. I would not hesitate to recommend Advanced Vehicle Outfitters to my family and friends, these guys are great. Thanks AVO…

Great experience. The wrap looks awesome and I hope it keeps my car safe. My last BMW got munched up on the front bumper from road debris. I recently got an M4 and I didn’t want the same thing to happen to this car. Seng was the installer and he is an artist at his job and a really nice guy. Steve is who I dealt with on the phone. He got me an appointment inside of 24 hrs and was great to deal with as well. I would recommend these guys to anyone who cares about their car. Thanks.

Great customer service, fair prices and quality installation of a clear bra standard package on my Scion FRS. Thanks guys.

These guys are pros hands down! Awesome job can’t even tell my clear bra is on my Rav4!!! Thanks Ay and Saeng! Definitely coming back when I purchase my next new car!

Having experienced the additional protection a clear bra can offer, it wasn’t really a decision on *if* I was going to have one installed, but who I was going to let do it.
The clear bra installation on my last car was done by an ‘average’ installer, who used a kit. When I decided to upgrade my ride to a premium brand I also needed a premium installer.
They guys at AVO were phenomenal. Not only are they knowledgeable about the products that they use, they demonstrated that they have this process down to an art form. Every custom cut piece of the installation was precision perfect. There’s simply no comparison between the guys at AVO and my past experience.
The customer service, knowledge and ability to deliver a quality service are commendable, as is their love of automobiles. Well done, gentlemen. 5 stars.

I had my windows tinted and encountered an issue with the tint a few days later. I drove to the shop and explained my problem to the employee who was working at the time. He then called the owner of the shop and explained the issue. While on the phone the employee asked the owner to speak to me at which time he refused. The shop employee was instructed to write down my name so he (owner) could call me back with a resolution. Here we are a few weeks later and as expected i never received a call.
I decided to tint my windows here due to the Unilocal reviews. Im disappointed with the lack of response, particularly from the shop owner. I would not recommend this business.

I am an extremely detail oriented car lover, borderline anal. I have had two vehicles done here and each time, I don’t think the job can get better — but it does! How can you improve on perfect? Steve and his team find ways of actually doing this job better — better than they did before and, quite frankly, better than any other shop I’ve ever used!!! They are so detail oriented, they actually wrapped the corners of the hood so it doesn’t lift! They used a heat gun to gently heat the wrap so that it won’t lift later. It took them 3 hours to do the front — attending to EVERY detail, even the pieces UNDER the bumper, out of site. They even double coated certain areas of the front bumper to ensure it was extra protected.
This is a place I would recommend to ANYONE for ANY vehicle, they are careful and worthy of the price — and they are NOT as expensive as they sound.
In addition, they did the window tint — front and rear. They did the EXACT same detail oriented job on the tint. There is no place I will ever go — ever again.

TERRIFI JOB!
After a couple of brief phone calls, Steve was able to schedule me quickly on a Saturday morning to get the clear bra. His team did a great job on a ‘standard’ custom bra on my ’15 BMW X3 which just rolled out of the factory. The coverage take care of the front 18″ of the hood, headlights, all lower bumper and fenders, side mirrors and the rear bumper under the trunk lid.
Everything was completed in less than 4 hours time and it all looks good. No hassle at all. I will go back for window tint later when we can schedule a time.
Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience. Steve was great in helping me to decide on how much clear bra to put on car. Installed to perfection.

Steve and crew completed the removal of an old clear bra that had gotten water damage between the clear bra and hood. They did a great job and given the age of the clear bra (approx 8 years old) and were extra careful during the removal process.
Steve spent time with me and explained the different manufacturers and quality levels of different clear bras for my impending new car purchase.
I will use AVO for my future clear bra work!

I had to come back here because I hit a bird which scratched the paint protection film. Steve was accommodating and was able to fit me in to the schedule to fix it ASAP. That section of the clear bra had to be removed and reinstalled.
BTW, if you have clear bra you better hope a bird doesn’t land on your car, or a cat. Both have really sharp claws which will destroy the film!

Called Steve on a Tuesday who was very accommodating of my schedule and got me in on a Thursday. He explained to me that they were not using the pre-​cut packages and would make a custom fit to my vehicle using a higher grade product. Sure enough, when I got my vehicle back that day, the job was flawless. I had to look very hard to see the edges of the product. I was very pleased, not to mention his professionalism in quoting the price and the layout of his shop. He was also kind enough to give me a ride to the BART station! If you are putting this on your vehicle then you probably are not driving a car with vinyl seats and a tape deck. Expect to pay a bit more, but know that you always get what you pay for.

I have now dealt with Steve & the AVO crew three times in the last two years, & I have found them to be top notch, which is saying a GREAT deal as I am very OCD when it comes to my cars. They custom cut their installs, and don’t do CAD template cuts from a computer. Because of this custom work, they are able to do complete wraps, including the edges that would normally be left exposed from pre-​cut template kits, and I have not had to deal with any peeling or discoloration. The work has always been done in a timely fashion, they are very professional, and Steve takes his time to explain the product options in detail to ensure I make the most informed decision possible. Mad props and hats off to AVO!!!

My wife and I had Steve install a partial clear bra on our 2014 Acura RDX.
PRO:
— Great Customer Service! Dropped off my wife in downtown walnut creek (showed her all the baby stores) and picked her back up instead of waiting in the lobby.
— Used professional grade product (3M) and explained the after care for longevity of the product.
— Accommodated a last minute appointment
— Competitive pricing! Beat out all of his competitors.
— Easy location to find off the 680.
CONS:
— This could be remedied, but found 2 little bubbles, of which Steve assured it’ll go away.

Got my clear bra done here today and it was an overall great experience. Steve was super nice and very responsive on the phone when I called with questions and then to make my appointment. I dropped the car off this morning and it was ready in about 4 – 5 hours.
The clear bra looks great — you can barely notice it. They did an excellent job cutting and applying it and were extremely knowledgeable about the process, maintenance, etc. I felt very confident not only that they knew what they were doing but also that they’d stand behind their work.
I am psyched now because my car is protected and looks awesome. I’d highly recommend AVO if you’re considering a clear bra.

Steve and crew did a fantastic job installing a clear bra on my Audi R8 Spyder. I am very picky and it is impossible to notice the bra. Steve is also a great guy for ‘car talk’ — very knowledgable. Highly recommend this place.

Steve personally worked with my husband and I on getting our new 2014 Mazda 6 clear bra’d. My husband and I did our research and AVO provided the most competitive pricing, and does custom cuts for all the cars they work on. We didn’t have to deal with kits or pre-​made bras for our car.
Steve also noticed some paint issue on our car that we didn’t see before. He gave advice on what we could do and even had a detailer come out to give his opinion. Our Mazda dealership is now fixing the paint issue.
My husband and I highly recommend Steve and his crew and will be coming back to them for any future work.

Steve did a great job explaining what was going to be done over the phone. His top notch crew installed a standard package and it was more than what my husband and I expected. The lines are virtually undetected and very well hidden.
Upon picking up my challenger they explained in great detail how to care for the bra. They gave great comfort to allow us to call or stop by anytime!
To know that this shop does custom cuts and they do not work with a kit made me feel all the difference. This shop is focused on clear bra work only. I did the research for you and this is the shop to go to!

I had a standard package installed on my black Golf GTI today. Steve and his crew did an outstanding job. The 8 mil film feels really strong and, since they do not use pre-​cut kits, the coverage is maximized. They even tucked in the edges around compound curves.
Overall a great experience. Will recommend.
