I recently purchased a 1999 BMW Z3 that needed a significant amount of paint work (repaint front and rear bumpers, rear quarter panel, and swirl marks everywhere).
I got quotes from 5 shops ranging from indie shops to national chains. Lux was the last shop I visited and I quickly got the sense that they were a step beyond the rest.
In terms of pricing, Lux was in the middle compared to other independent shops. They were much better priced than the big national shops.
In terms of knowledge, Lux was by far the best. Knick knew more about my car than I did. He and Bel provided their thoughts on what they recommended based on the condition of my Z3 and were never pushy or salesperson-y. They are car enthusiasts who understand what is important to someone who takes pride in their car.
Throughout the process, communication was effortless and transparent. Bel provided me updates with pictures and videos. She let me know if they found other issues and gave me options to fix them.
The quality of their work is exceptional. The attention to detail is clear. They even replaced missing clips/bolts, cleaned out my wheel wells, and polished my headlights during the 1-step paint correction.
My car is a daily driver, so I didn't ask for perfection in terms of chasing every swirl mark, repainting every panel with chips, etc. But I can confidently say that my car went from looking like a beater that needs a lot of work, to a car that is clearly taken care of and one that I am proud to look at.
The Lux team went above and beyond and I believe that I received more value than I paid for. I will definitely be back with future projects and highly recommend Lux to anyone who values exceptional knowledge/service, fair prices, and transparency.

Known Knick for several years and we spoke for many years regarding PPF treatment for a future car worth investing in PPF. The day arrived and him and his team did an excellent job with great eye for detail

Frequently Asked Questions About Lux Paint Protection
What is paint protection film (PPF), and how does it help my car?
Paint protection film is a transparent, resilient covering applied to your vehicle's exterior. It serves as a protective barrier against various forms of damage, including stone chips, road debris, insect residue, and other environmental hazards that could potentially harm your car's paintwork.
Is the film visible once applied?
The film is virtually imperceptible after application. Our meticulous installation process ensures that the protective layer maintains your vehicle's original appearance while providing enhanced protection.
How long does paint protection film last?
Our paint protection film is engineered for longevity, typically lasting between 5 to 10 years. The exact duration may vary based on driving conditions and proper maintenance practices.
Can you apply PPF to just part of my car?
We offer flexibility in our PPF application services. Clients can choose between partial or complete coverage options, allowing for protection of specific areas such as the front bumper or the entire vehicle exterior.
Do you offer ceramic coating services too?
Yes, we provide ceramic coating services. This treatment adds a water-repellent layer to your vehicle, enhancing its gloss and simplifying the cleaning process.
How should I maintain my car after PPF or ceramic coating?
For optimal maintenance, we recommend using a pH-neutral soap for hand washing and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners. Upon completion of the installation, we will provide you with detailed care instructions tailored to your specific treatment.
Will PPF or ceramic coating affect my car's paint warranty?
Paint protection films are designed to be safe for your vehicle's paint. In fact, they help preserve and protect your factory paint warranty by providing an additional layer of defense against potential damage.
How long does installation take?
The duration of the installation process varies depending on the extent of coverage required. Typically, our services take between one to three days to complete. We will provide you with a precise timeline when you schedule your appointment.
Can I combine PPF and ceramic coating?
Yes, it is possible to combine both treatments. Many of our clients opt for this comprehensive approach to maximize protection and aesthetic appeal. We can apply the ceramic coating over the PPF for enhanced durability.
