A Look Inside the Brand We’ve Trusted for 20+ Years
When it comes to protecting our clients’ vehicles, Automobilia Auto Salon has always believed in one simple principle: do it once, do it right.
That’s why, for over two decades, we’ve partnered with XPEL not just as a product we apply, but as a philosophy we stand behind. We’re proud to be one of XPEL’s certified installers, and even prouder to be a legacy shop. Supporting the brand since the early days of paint protection film.
But what makes XPEL different? And why have we stayed loyal all these years?
Let’s break it down.
It Starts with Innovation
XPEL isn’t just another PPF brand, they were one of the first companies to revolutionize paint protection with self-healing film and precision-cut kits powered by proprietary software. That matters more than most people realize.
- Self-healing properties mean minor scratches and swirl marks disappear with heat preserving that “just-detailed” look longer.
- Design Access Program (DAP) ensures every cut fits perfectly, with no blades used on your paint, ever.
When you see a wrap that looks seamless and OEM-fresh, chances are it was designed using XPEL’s software.
Tested. Proven. Trusted.
XPEL doesn’t make claims it can’t back up. Their films go through extensive lab testing, real-world endurance, and continual product updates. Whether it’s:
- XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS for crystal-clear paint protection
- XPEL STEALTH for a satin-matte finish
- XPEL PRIME XR Plus window tint that blocks up to 98% of infrared heat
These aren’t just products. They’re solutions that work.
We’ve tested these films in harsh New England winters, salty coastal roads, and scorching summer sun. They’ve never let us or our customers down.
Certified = Accountable
There are many shops that install paint protection and tint, but only a few are XPEL-certified. What does that mean?
- We’re factory-trained by XPEL themselves.
- We install film to their standards not just our own.
- Our certification gives you access to XPEL’s warranty network nationwide.
This isn’t a sticker we slapped on our door. It’s a badge of responsibility.
Why We’ve Stuck With Them for 20+ Years
The simple answer? XPEL delivers.
But beyond that, it’s a relationship built on:
- Shared values of craftsmanship and customer satisfaction.
- A mutual commitment to continuous improvement.
- And a belief that you only put your name on something you truly believe in.
We’ve been around long enough to see brands come and go. XPEL has stayed at the top because they never stop raising the bar.
What This Means for You
Whether you’re new to PPF or looking to upgrade your tint game, it’s easy to get lost in the brand names, marketing jargon, and “too-good-to-be-true” promises.
But when you choose a certified XPEL installer like us, you’re not just buying film, you’re buying:
- Peace of mind
- Flawless fitment
- Factory-backed performance
We’ll never offer you anything we wouldn’t put on our own cars. And for the last 20+ years, that’s meant XPEL.
Want to know how these films actually perform in the wild? Come by the shop, we’d love to walk you through the differences, show you live installs, and share the “why” behind every detail.
Because at the end of the day, what protects your car is only as good as who installs it and what it’s made of.
Proof Is in the Performance
That’s why our long list of customers choose Automobilia and that’s exactly why we chose XPEL.
When you’ve spent over two decades in the industry, you learn to spot what’s real and what’s hype. XPEL’s not just a product, it’s a company that’s built long-term trust with professionals like us.
And one of the clearest ways to prove that?
Just look at their growth.
We’re not just talking about innovation or product lines. We’re talking about a brand that has seen consistent, real-world success. XPEL Inc. has gone from a niche supplier to a publicly traded powerhouse, with steady expansion across the globe.
That chart says it all. This is a brand that’s earned its place, just like we’ve earned ours.
