Evelyn one if not the best films and coating specialist around the care and his passion for detailed work is second to nonePosted on Antonio OliveiraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fabian's work is excellent! He totally restored my 1996 BMW Z3 to its original spendor! Highly recommended! Great guy, great service!Posted on Garth FosterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fabian does excellent work. This is the 2nd time we have used his services. He is very detailed, personable and professional. He is very willing to give detailing suggestions to keep your car looking as sharp as when you pick it up from him. I would definitely recommend Evelyn Protective Films for car detailing,Posted on Rosie LopezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had PPF installed on my front bumper and hood by another installer but they didn't join the seams very well. Also their film started to peel off after a while. Fabian identified the issues and replaced the PPF for me and I'm very happy since. There was a minor issue with the front sensors and the film (not his fault) but Fabian took care of that for me too. He is very detailed and loves his work. June 11, 2023 I went back to Fabian to do my new car and he absolutely knocked it out of the park. I've seen PPF done by a couple of other places and there is no comparison. I learned from personal experience - there are some serious hack jobs out there. Don't put up with BS when other places say they can't make it perfect because it can be done. Just go to Fabian and he will deliver!Posted on Eric LeungTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fabian did a great job on my M3 the film and coating kept my car looking brand new. I have had a number of cars ceramic coated, but the coating applied by Fabian has, by far, been the most durable and effective.Posted on Lee WTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my Model 3 wrapped and ceramic coated nearly 8 years ago by Fabian and it still looks new today! Fabian is an honest person and an artist when it comes to wrapping cars. I highly recommend him and his company.Posted on Sean KoenigTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great experience having him do 2 full paint protection film applications and window tinting for my cars over the last 5 years. His work is top notch and my cars look great years later. He goes above and beyond on service with great communication. I will definitely be using him again in future whenever I need new PPF.Posted on Chris McLeanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had Fabian apply the paint protection to 3 of my vehicles and he has always done an amazing job. The quality is seamless with no issues and great for long term wear and tear protection of your vehicle.Posted on Christine GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve known Fabian since 2018. He did an outstanding job on my 2018 Model 3 with PPF, ceramic coating and window tint. As a perfectionist he takes immense pride in his work and it shows. When I sold the car in September 2025 the PPF was still mint. Not one lifted edge. The ceramic coating still had great hydrophobic properties and the tint was like new. When I ordered my 2026 Model Y Juniper this past July he was my first call. The car went straight to him shortly after delivery for the same treatment as my Model 3. Again super impressed with his attention to detail and his superb level of customer service. Without hesitation I highly recommend him for any of his services.Posted on George BatemanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 4 years later and my tints have held up beautifully. I’m looking forward to bringing Fabian a vehicle to wrap in the future. Very very high quality and it shows he cares about his work.Posted on Graeme FieldingVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
