Picking the "best" PPF shop in Calgary really comes down to a few things you can actually check: the reviews, the warranty, and how the film gets cut and wrapped. On every one of those, Obsidian Auto holds up — 705+ reviews at 4.9 stars, four straight Consumer Choice Awards, and a 10-year warranty on the film plus a lifetime guarantee on our work. Here's how to read any Calgary PPF quote. Is the pattern cut digitally, or freehand with a blade on your clear coat? Do the edges wrap around the panel, or stop short right where the chips land? Is the film a name you recognize — 3M, STEK, SunTek — with a real manufacturer warranty behind it, or unbranded "generic" stock? We built the comparison below around those questions, because they're what separate an install that lasts a decade from one that lifts in a year. Whether it's a new daily that lives on Deerfoot or a weekend car you're keeping well clear of gravel, the shop matters as much as the film. A cheap install with visible seams and a short warranty just costs you more the second time around. Do it once, do it right.

4x Consumer Choice Award
Best PPF Calgary
"These guys are professional, respectful and honest. I needed my paint protection film replaced because it was peeling on me... Mo took a look at my car and recommended that there was no need to remove all the paint protection film and just replace the bumper because all the other parts was perfectly fine."
