Brand new CTR 2024 owner in Northwest Georgia. Can anyone recommend a local shop who does ceramic coating? Thanks for any feedback.

Are these personal recommendations or Google search results? The OP is seeking the former.
Thanks for the feedback. I did the best I could. Google search recommendations.

I've used Le Tigre' Luxe. Dude does great work with the coating and detailing on my Miata when I had to take it to a show. Also had him do the tint on my blackwing and it turned out great, always good considering how many shady tint shops there are. Bit pricey, though.

Thanks for the recommendation. Never had any of my vehicles ceramic coated so this is helpful.

I've had work done at various Atlanta area detail shops.

Detailed Designs Auto Spa*
Atlanta Protective Films
Sun & Shield
AP3
Apogee Detail*
ClearFilm

The work performed was primarily paint protection film; however, I received ceramic coating services at the ones with an asterik. I suggest giving ppf a think in conjunction with a ceramic coating.

While I cannot give you a ceramic coating shop recommendation, I recommend performing enhanced due diligence prior to making a selection. Visit the shops in person, ask questions, look at the quality of their work in person, understand the various ceramic coatings on the market. I stress in person because IG does not speak to or illustrate quality of work. All it does is showcase the volume and types of cars they work on. That's not helpful as a prospective client.

I also suggest speaking with customers at the shop as it's likely they've had work done there previously or know someone who has. Ask about their experience. Why did they come back if they are a repeat customer? Ask if they would come back if they are a first time customer. Inquire with them if anything went wrong or they experienced a less than ideal outcome. How did the issues get resolved? Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Good luck!

That’s great and very sound advise. Thank you very much for taking the time to share the feedback. PPF is also on my radar. As you know the roads in and around Atlanta tend to throw up debris. My 4-Runner windshield has taken a beating. Have a great day.

Sure, I'm happy to help. Yeah, the windshield is another issue in this area. If you decide you want windshield protection, Josh at Executive Tint will take care of you. He's one of two installers in the state for Exoshield.
