Why College Station Drivers Choose Sleepr Studio for Paint Protection Film
Dealerships Charge 2–3x Market Rate
A partial front PPF package that costs $499–$699 at Sleepr Studio often costs $1,200–$2,000 as a dealership add-on.
Dealerships Use Lower-Grade Film
Most dealerships use generic or house-brand PPF, not XPEL or STEK. The quality difference is significant.
Dealership Installers Aren't PPF Specialists
Dealership detail techs install PPF as one of many tasks. Our team installs PPF exclusively — it's all we do.
You Can Say No to the Dealer
Dealer add-ons are optional. You can decline the dealer PPF and bring your new car to us within the first week.
XPEL and STEK Certified
We're certified by the film manufacturers themselves. Not every shop — and almost no dealership — is certified.
Better Warranty
10-year manufacturer warranty from XPEL or STEK, plus our lifetime labor guarantee.
