Services
Paint Protection Film
Our paint protection film services use premium 3M, LLumar, and SunTek products to shield vehicles from rock chips, UV damage, and environmental contaminants. Computerized cutting ensures precise fitment while self-healing properties maintain flawless appearance. Backed by lifetime warranties, these transparent films preserve factory paint finishes while enhancing resale value through comprehensive coverage of vulnerable vehicle surfaces.
Ceramic Coating
Professional ceramic and graphene coatings create hydrophobic barriers that repel water, dirt, and UV radiation while enhancing paint gloss. Multiple protection tiers offer 7-10 year warranties with layered applications for maximum durability. The nanotechnology formulation resists chemical etching and oxidation, maintaining showroom finishes with reduced maintenance requirements through advanced surface bonding properties.
Rubberized Undercoating
Specialized rubberized undercoating formulations protect vehicle undercarriages from Alberta's harsh winter conditions. This flexible barrier resists road salt corrosion while dampening noise and vibration. Lifetime warranties cover protection against peeling or cracking, with application processes that seal critical mechanical components and body cavities from moisture intrusion and structural degradation.
Rustproofing Treatment
Dripless rustproofing solutions penetrate vehicle cavities to displace moisture and prevent oxidation. The oil-based formula creates enduring protection against road brine and calcium chloride damage. Annual treatments maintain effectiveness, with warranty coverage ensuring ongoing protection against rust formation in hard-to-reach structural components and panel seams.
Auto Detailing
Comprehensive detailing packages include paint correction, interior deep cleaning, and surface-specific protection treatments. Services range from basic washes to full restoration processes involving clay barring, machine polishing, and trim rejuvenation. Specialized Tesla detailing options maintain factory warranties while enhancing appearance through multi-stage cleaning and protective coating applications.

Questions
What protection options work best for new Tesla vehicles?
We recommend full PPF wraps with ceramic coating for Teslas. This combination protects against rock chips while maintaining factory warranties through non-invasive application techniques that preserve sensitive paint surfaces.
How often should undercoating be renewed?
Our rubberized undercoating includes lifetime warranty coverage with free inspections every two years. Most vehicles maintain protection for 3-5 years before requiring touch-ups, depending on exposure to winter road conditions.
Do detailing services include interior protection?
Yes, our packages include leather conditioning and fabric protection treatments. These services create stain-resistant barriers while preserving material integrity through specialized automotive-grade products and application techniques.
What's the difference between PPF and ceramic coating?
PPF is a physical film protecting against impacts, while ceramic coatings are liquid glass treatments resisting chemical damage. Combining both provides comprehensive protection against both physical and environmental threats to vehicle surfaces.
How long does ceramic coating last?
Our graphene-enhanced coatings offer 7-10 year protection with proper maintenance. The multi-layer application process creates cross-linked durability exceeding standard ceramic products, maintaining hydrophobic properties and gloss retention throughout the warranty period.
Can you fix existing paint damage?
Yes, our paint correction services address swirl marks, oxidation, and minor scratches through multi-stage polishing processes. Technicians use precision tools to restore surface clarity while preserving clear coat integrity before applying protective coatings.

I found this place on Google and Yelp and booked an undercoating because of the good reviews. The garage is very clean. JR explained how my SUV would be coated and what to expect. My work was done for the cost quoted and for the exact time promised. In addition, my vehicle was cleaned and shiny. I will be returning to get 3M film on my hood and our other truck detailed.

Just to let you all know I've had another - my third - new vehicle in to JR's and he did a fantastic job. The pictures speak for themselves.

The quote from my Porsche dealership was insane. I'm so glad I wasn't willing to accept that and instead found JR's Auto Detailing. The quality of workmanship is exceptional. Custom detailing using xpel protection is seamless and unnoticeable. Incredible customer service from JR himself who patiently spent a lot of time explaining, showing, and not up selling. Very accommodating as well as he personally waited until I dropped my car off after work so he could park it inside overnight. JR is extremely knowledgeable about paint protection as he has been doing it for many years for

I pickedup a used truck to do the interior detailing. To be fair the truck was very dirty, had a lot of dog hairs. Well thats when you need proper detailing and cleaning. However I paid 249+ taxes. There were few spots missed under the seats and couple of seat belts apart from that the job was decently done. Recommend this place for anyone looking to do detailing.

Best value service, very straight forward and up front in term of service pricing. Their price is very competitive and the work's quality is top notch, I'll not go anywhere else for undercoating/rust proof and 3M from now on, totally worth the trip to JR shop at west end location. Considering their tires service for next year now, cant wait!

The same thing that happened to Fred H on his review happened to me. Had a quote over the phone for 3M. Brought my car in (brand new) arranged for a friend to pick me up early morning on a sat, he was doing me a big favour. Then when I brought the car in, JR decided that it was going to be more because of minor rail dust that was on one of the fenders from when the vehicle was transported. I made him aware of this over the phone prior to bringing my vehicle in ! I asked what's the new price and he would not provide a number and kept saying I have to "charge for my labour" whatever
