For shops

Customers find us first. We send the good ones to you.

Paint Protection Pros is an independent resource vehicle owners trust before they buy. When someone in your area is ready for PPF, ceramic coating, tint, or paint correction, we match them with a shop that has earned a place in our network - by being vetted, not by paying for a better ranking.

The honest model

Money can earn you exposure. It can never buy you a ranking.

This one rule is the whole reason customers trust us - and it's exactly why the leads we send are worth having.

We're independent

We don't install anything and we take no cut of your work. Our recommendations, ratings, and rankings are never for sale - to anyone.

Membership earns exposure

A paid membership gets you into the network and clearly-labeled placement. It never moves you above a better-rated shop, and it's always disclosed as a paid relationship.

Trust is the product

Because customers know we can't be bought, they arrive informed and ready. You compete on doing good work - not on who spends the most on ads.

What membership includes

What you get as a member shop

Qualified local leads

Real vehicle owners in your service area who have told us what they drive and what they want. People choosing a shop - not names scraped from a list.

A verified profile

Your shop presented with the certifications, specialties, and service area we've confirmed - to customers who are actively deciding where to go.

Disclosed placement

Member shops get labeled exposure on relevant pages. Always shown as a paid relationship, never dressed up as an editorial pick.

How vetting works

Every shop is verified before it joins

We don't take a shop's word for it. Before any shop enters the network, we check the things a careful customer would want checked - and we keep checking after you're in.

This is the standard that protects customers and rewards shops that already do it right.

  • Legitimate, licensed business. Registered, insured, and operating from a real facility.
  • Verified certifications. Manufacturer and brand certifications confirmed with the source - not just claimed on a website.
  • A real track record. Genuine customer reviews and work history, read for patterns rather than cherry-picked highlights.
  • Workmanship standards. Evidence of proper prep, correction, and installation practices - the details that separate a lasting job from a redo.
  • Honest warranties. Warranty terms that are real, honored, and explained in plain language.
  • Fair, transparent quoting. No bait-and-switch, no pressure, no phantom discounts.

The standard

What we ask in return

A place in the network is earned, and it's kept the same way. Member shops agree to:

  • Treat every referred customer honestly - whether they book or not.
  • Quote fairly and stand behind the work.
  • Honor the warranties you offer.
  • Recommend what the vehicle actually needs - not the biggest package.

Fall short and a shop loses its place. That standard is exactly what makes the network worth being in.

Where we're starting

Founding shops in Florida

We're building the network in Florida first, starting around Tampa, and expanding across the state. If you run a shop that does honest work and stands behind it, this is the moment to get in early - founding shops help shape how the network works and are first in line as demand grows in their area.

FAQ

Questions from shop owners

Can I pay to rank higher or get better reviews?
No. Never. Money can make a shop eligible for membership and disclosed exposure, but it never changes a ranking, rating, or recommendation. That rule is the reason customers trust us - and it's what makes the leads you get worth having.
How do you vet shops?
We verify that you're a legitimate, licensed, insured business; confirm certifications with the source rather than taking a website's word for it; read genuine reviews and work history for patterns; and look for honest quoting and warranty practices. The full list is in the 'How vetting works' section above.
What does membership cost?
Membership is a paid relationship, and we're upfront about that. Pricing depends on your market and how we're matching customers there. Apply and we'll walk you through it - there is no cost to apply.
How many leads will I get?
We won't invent a number. Lead volume depends on real customer demand in your area and how many shops we work with there. We're building in Florida now, and founding shops are first in line as demand grows locally.
Are you a competing shop?
No. We don't install anything and we don't take a cut of your work. We're an independent consumer resource. Our only business is connecting informed customers with shops that meet our standard.
What happens if a customer has a bad experience?
We take it seriously. Member shops agree to treat referred customers honestly and stand behind their work. Patterns of complaints, dishonest quoting, or unhonored warranties can cost a shop its place in the network.
