PPF and ceramic installers in MA/NH/RI

[martinmeyer]

My AGT is going to arrive in a few weeks, and I plan to get PPF, ceramic, and windows tinting. I’ve never done any of these things with a car before, so I have no preexisting experience or relationship with a installers. I need recommendations, and I figured others would like them too.

I'm going to sift through Google Maps to hunt down all the installers in my area of Massachusetts. I'll create a table listing basic info, products used, and any referrals from users here. I'll update the OP when I've collected the relevant details.

What I need from everyone is those referrals. Do you have an installer you like or don't like in MA or the other New England states? If so, please share your experiences! I'll collate all the info.

Craft has done at least 4 Lucids. Locations in Dedham and Bedford. Good people though @imran had a less than ideal after installation experience. I’ve had a great experience and really like Lia and her team in Dedham.

Hmm.. I thought I would have the ability to edit my OP after I collected information, but apparently I do not. I'll post what I've found here for now, maybe we can figure out how to edit the OP later.

This info is all just basic collection over a couple hours. I searched for installers on Google, then asked XPEL, Ceramic Pro, SunTek, and 3M to tell me all their installers in the area. I browsed the sites to get basic info, and hunted for references to the product brands they use. I'll be doing another perusal eventually to get a better sense of the top ones I might ask for an estimate.
