A shared name only means somethingif it means the same thing everywhere.
A shared name only means something if it means the same thing everywhere. These are the things a location does not get to change.
Brand standards
The service line
The three films and the vehicles we take. A location does not add services or take work outside the line.
Published pricing
The standard price is the standard price. A location does not discount it, negotiate it, or quote around it.
Honesty about condition
A customer is told what their paint will and will not look like before they pay, including when the answer costs us the job.
Own work only
A location shows photographs of cars it wrapped. Not stock imagery, not renders, not another shop’s work.
Visual identity
Logo, type, color and photographic treatment are fixed. Signage, vehicle graphics and print follow the same rules.
How we talk
Plain, specific, no superlatives we cannot support. If a claim needs a number behind it, it needs a real one.
Quality control
Consistency between locations is the only thing a customer is actually buying from a shared brand. It is enforced, not hoped for.
Intake documentation
Every vehicle photographed and its condition recorded before work begins, reviewed with the customer.
A fixed inspection
The same set of checks before every handover, at every location.
Handover walk
The car is walked with the customer against the intake record.
Workmanship commitment
A stated workmanship period, honored the same way in every location.
Periodic review
Locations are reviewed against the standard, including work sampling. A location that will not hold the standard does not keep the name.
Customer feedback
Collected centrally rather than by each location grading itself.

Preparation
- Wash and dry
- Decontaminate the surface
- Disassemble as required
- Prepare material
Installation
- Plan the panels
- Apply material
- Heat and post-heat
- Edges, seams and difficult areas
Finalization
- Reassemble
- Quality inspection
- Photograph completed work
- Customer approval
- Delivery and aftercare

Tesla Wrapper approval is our own internal designation. It is not manufacturer authorization, certification, endorsement, sponsorship or partnership, and it should not be read as any of those.
4 approved products across the four classes today.
Tesla Wrapper Certified Installer

- Surface preparation

This is our own internal assessment of installation quality, granted and withdrawn by us. It is not a manufacturer certification and is not equivalent to one. Manufacturer training programs are separate, valuable, and run by the manufacturers.
Two different promises
Material warranty
Provided by: Film manufacturer
- Terms are set by the manufacturer, not by us
- Varies by film series and color
Installation workmanship
Provided by: Tesla Wrapper location
- Damage from impact, abrasion or accident
- Damage from improper washing or chemicals
- Pre-existing paint conditions documented at intake
- Film removed or altered by a third party
Periods are set by the business and by the film manufacturers, and are stated on the customer-facing pages rather than invented here.
Location development
What the physical space has to be. These are working requirements from running the original bay, not a specification handed down from a brochure.
Enclosed and controlled
Film does not go on outdoors. The space has to be enclosed, clean, and hold a stable temperature through an installation.
Room around the car
An installer needs clear working space on every side of the vehicle, not a parking bay. Space is the constraint people underestimate most.
Lighting
Even, bright, and enough of it to see a defect before the customer does.
Preparation area
Somewhere to cut and stage material that is separate from where dust gets kicked up.
Secure overnight storage
Customer vehicles stay for multiple days. They have to be inside and secure.
Access
A door and approach a Cybertruck fits through, which is not a given.
