PPF in Tempe — 10 Minutes Down the 101, Priced Online
Tempe shops quote by phone. See the installed price first — from $479. One shop in Chandler, about 10 minutes down the 101 or Rural Road. Two film brands, two thicknesses, up to a 12-year warranty.
Tempe has plenty of PPF shops. One publishes every price.
Paint protection film, or clear bra, is a self-healing urethane layer over the panels that take the hits: front bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors. Tempe drivers rack up freeway miles on the 101, the 60, and the Loop 202, and every one of those miles throws sand and gravel at unprotected paint.
Shops around Tempe install good films, but they quote by phone and sell one brand. We publish the exact installed price for your vehicle and let you compare two film brands and two thicknesses by their manufacturer specs, side by side, before you commit to anything. Start with the price tool below, go deeper on our paint protection film page, or read the clear bra guide.
Auto Cosmetics® installs FlexiShield and STEK films, computer-cut by pattern software to your vehicle's exact dimensions before they ever touch your car. We are spec-driven, not brand-locked, so you get the right film for your vehicle at a published price, never a forced label.

Rock chips are not cosmetic. They are the start of paint failure.
The 101 and the 60 through Tempe carry some of the heaviest commuter traffic in the Valley, and commuter lanes mean rock chips: every truck ahead of you is a gravel launcher. Add summer UV that bakes exposed clear coat, and unprotected front ends age fast here.
Stops rock chips cold
8.5 to 10 mil of urethane absorbs the impact energy of gravel and road debris that chips unprotected paint on the 101, the 60, and the Loop 202.
Self-heals in the sun
Light swirls and wash marks in the film's top coat disappear with heat. In Arizona, the sun does the work for you.
Invisible on the car
Computer-cut patterns wrap panel edges with no visible lines. Gloss film disappears on any color, on any finish.
Protects resale value
A chip-free front end and original paint are the first things an appraiser and the next buyer look for.
Recent work, ten minutes from Tempe

Why drivers pass closer shops to get here
"During my first visit, I planned to stay through the entire tint installation, but they surprised me by ordering an Uber to take me home and bring me back when it was ready, at no cost. Hector and the team are excellent and guided me through various options. I will only trust this shop for window tint, PPF, or any other services they provide."
"This is my FIFTH vehicle being taken to Auto Cosmetics for their professional touch. Vehicles continue to get more and more expensive so you want to use a shop that stands behind their work and only uses products they trust. I have a buddy who recently had some PPF work done at a different shop in Gilbert, and guess what, it has flaws."
"I love that their prices are very transparent on their website, so I knew exactly what I'd be paying without the hassle of waiting for a quote. They were able to move me up to an earlier appointment last minute. The whole process was smooth and easy. Highly recommend!"
Closer than your coffee run: 10 minutes door to door
The shop sits at 500 N. 56th Street in Chandler, just off I-10 at Ray Road. From most of Tempe that is one straight run down the 101 or Rural Road. A front bumper can be same day, and a full front takes about two days.
South Tempe
About 8 minutes. Rural Road south or the 101 to Ray Road, whichever you prefer.
Downtown Tempe and ASU
10 to 12 minutes via the 101 south to Ray Road. Drop the car, ride back to campus or the office, pick it up protected.
West Tempe
Down Priest or Kyrene to Ray Road, about 12 minutes. No freeway needed.
North Tempe and the Lake
15 minutes down the 101. Several customers pair drop-off with the commute and pick up on the way home.
New car? This is the week to protect it.
Film bonds best to paint that has never taken a chip, and Tempe freeways start working on your front end the day you drive off the lot. New car PPF is our most-booked install for exactly that reason.
Day-one protection
Factory paint with zero chips is the perfect surface. Protect it before the 101 gets its first shot.
Two days, done right
A full front takes about two days, including an overnight cure. Your new car comes home protected.
Resale and lease returns
A chip-free front end is the first thing an appraiser checks. Film costs less than the value it preserves.
Tesla PPF for Tempe, flat prices, no size games
Tempe runs on Teslas, and Tesla multi-coat paint is softer than most factory finishes, so the front end earns its film early. Model 3, Y, S, and X are flat published prices: Full Front from $1,349, Full Body from $4,599, with patterns computer-cut for each model.
Tesla clear bra, invisible finish
Gloss film disappears on every Tesla color, edges wrapped, no visible lines. Self-healing top coat erases light swirls in the Arizona sun.
Flat published Tesla prices
Model 3, Y, S, and X are flat prices, published online. No quote calls, no vehicle-size games.
Pair with tint and ceramic
Most Tempe drivers bundle PPF with ceramic window tint or ceramic coating and save when the services are booked together. See window tinting in Tempe for tint prices and drive times, or the Tesla PPF page if you drive one.
One shop. Tempe is 10 minutes down the 101.
No Tempe storefront. Every install happens at Auto Cosmetics, 500 N. 56th Street, Suite 1, Chandler, AZ 85226, one exit south of Tempe on the 101.
