Scotts Valley Window Tinting & Paint Protection
Highway 17 commuter protection—35 minutes via 17 to 85 to our Gilroy shop
Serving Scotts Valley Since 1993
Scotts Valley sits in the redwoods, above Highway 17's famous curves—and Scotts Valley drivers know what that highway does to paint. Rock chips from construction trucks, gravel from road work, debris from the Santa Cruz Mountains: Highway 17 is brutal on vehicle finishes. That's why Scotts Valley commuters make the 35-minute drive to Blackout. We're essentially on your commute route—down 17 to 85 to 101 to Gilroy. Our PPF protects against the rock chips you dodge daily; our ceramic coating sheds the redwood sap and mountain dust. We've served the Santa Cruz Mountains community since 1993, protecting everything from Tesla commuters to Jeep adventurers.

Do I really need PPF for Highway 17 driving?

Absolutely! Many Scotts Valley residents drop off on their way to South Bay offices and pick up after work. We're essentially on the commute route—just a bit further down 101.
What about protection from redwood sap?
Great question! Our ceramic coatings make tree sap much easier to remove, and the hydrophobic finish helps with the dust and debris common on mountain roads. Many Scotts Valley customers add coating specifically for easier maintenance.
