      Absolutely perfect work on my Audi R8GT including paint correction, ceramic coating, PPF, interior coverage & and final ceramic coatings. You can see the difference in the metallic paint shimmering in the sun.

      Further perfect work on my RS6. The PPF is tough enough it saved the paint on a hit & run on the rear bumper.

      Both cars do not look like they are wrapped which is the whole point.

      Joe Wong & his staff are extremely knowledgeable, easy & straightforward to work with for all your automotive protection needs!

      Joey and his team took excellent care of our brand new Cadillac Escalade. He blacked out our car and did Xpel for protection. It looks amazing.
      They were fast, efficient and are highly recommended by us! We'll go no where else in the future.

      Here I am, back again! Got a new car and wanted to get the windows tinted. There's only one choice in Sonoma County and it's a Shade Darker - always and forever! The quality is always clean and it's always well worth what you pay. I'd never trust my cars with anyone else! Next up is to get the money together to get some paint protection and the protection for the windshield against rock chips!! Thanks for always making my rides look amazing!!

      This is the cleanest, most professional, and most amazing wrap job I've ever had on a car. I've had 4 wraps performed over the years, and A Shade Darker is hands down the best. The owner of the company Joe, could not be more stand-up and he genuinely cares that your car comes out the way you want. The meticulous attention to detail is amazing. I dropped my Rivian R1S off on a Monday, went over what I wanted done (XPEL Stealth, Ceramic Coating, and tint), and it was ready on time end of that week. When I went to go pick it up, Joe had it on a charger (totally unexpected but amazing perk) and walked over my Rivian with him. Not a flaw with their work.

      This is actually my second job with Joe and Shade Darker. I took my previously wrapped Tesla to have them remove the wrap. Due to the wrap being done improperly at another shop, it took painstakingly days to remove it. Once again exceeding my expectations, when I showed up to pick it up the car looked BRAND NEW. More amazing work by them. Joe and his staff went above and beyond and made sure the price was fair.

      I cannot recommend A Shade Darker enough. Amazing shop, and one of the most honest and stand-up individuals in Joe that I've ever met.

      Have taken every car I've owned here and will always! Great service, great quality, and prices!

      I have taken my car to other shops and they messed up after multiple attempts, but have never had that experience with A Shade Darker! I ended up taking it to a Shade Darker to rip off the old tint from the other shop and redo it the right way. They nail it the first time every time and really know what they are doing and use quality materials.

      ASD does top notch work on all vehicles from daily commuters to hyper cars. They did both paint protection with ceramic and window tint on my Porsche Taycan that was perfect. Then I had a mishap that damaged the rear window and they redid the tint on the replacement window with similarly excellent results.
      I am seriously considering taking some of my other vehicles in for tint that currently have none. The product is top line and their skills reliable.
