We operate as a solutions-based enhancement and installation center in Austin, Texas, serving Central Texas from our local HQ near Highway 183 and the Oak Knoll area, with easy access from Research Blvd and Jollyville Rd. We deliver premium results for clients who want careful workmanship, modern tools, and a finished look that fits luxury, exotic, EV, and performance platforms. Many customers travel to our facility for our services, and we also work with shipped vehicles for larger, planned projects.
Automotive Window Tint and Vehicle Heat Rejection
We install 3M™ automotive window film to reduce Texas heat and glare while guiding you toward Texas tint visibility requirements. We support premium options including 3M Crystalline and the CR BLK look for clients who want a high-end finish with clean installation details.
As Austin’s longest-running 3M Dealer and a Crystalline Preferred Installer, our process is built around precise fitment, strict prep standards, proper curing guidance, and a final inspection that matches the vehicles we service.
High-End Car Audio, DSP Tuning, and 12-Volt Electronics
We design and integrate performance mobile electronics with an emphasis on clean signal, stable power, and factory-style fitment. Services include speaker upgrades, amplifier integration, subwoofer systems, DSP tuning, radar detectors, laser defense, dash cams, and vehicle security systems.
Clients searching for car audio installation in Austin, Tesla audio upgrades, or discreet electronics integration for exotic and luxury vehicles choose us for clean routing, secure mounting, and performance validation before delivery.
Marine and Boat Audio Systems
We install marine audio systems built for real use on the water, focusing on reliability, clean wiring, secure mounting, and strong sound output. Whether you need a full boat stereo upgrade, amplification, new speakers, or subwoofer output, we build systems that hold up in harsh conditions and deliver consistent performance.
Motorcycle Audio Packages for Harley-Davidson
We build and install Harley-Davidson motorcycle audio packages designed for volume, clarity, and riding conditions. Packages can include speaker upgrades, amplifier integration, clean wiring, and tuning that supports highway speeds and real-world use.
Vinyl Wrap Support When Needed
When a project calls for it, we provide vinyl wrap solutions to support the final look and protection goals of the vehicle. Wrap work is planned as part of the overall build so timing, fit, and finish align with the rest of the project.
Residential Window Film and Heat Control
We provide residential window film solutions that help reduce heat, glare, and UV exposure while supporting comfort and privacy goals. For homeowners looking for window film installation in Austin, we focus on clean lines, consistent finish, and long-term performance in Texas sun.
Commercial Window Film for Offices and Retail
We install commercial window film for offices, storefronts, and facilities that need heat rejection, glare reduction, UV protection, and a more comfortable interior environment. For businesses, we plan installs around operating hours and deliver a professional, clean appearance that matches the building.
Event Popups for Major Marketing Firms and Retail Brands
We support major marketing firms with event popups and on-site branding needs for major retail brands. When teams travel in for campaigns, we can execute fast, clean production and installation support to meet deadlines and presentation requirements.
In-House 3D Scanning and Outcome Planning
We use in-house 3D scanners to scan vehicles and validate fitment, routing, and mounting before fabrication. This supports accurate rendering of expected outcomes and repeatable execution on complex builds, including projects involving shipped vehicles.
Laser Cutting and Engraving Capability
Our large-format laser supports precision cutting and engraving across many materials, excluding metal cuts. This helps us produce accurate templates, components, and details that match the level of finish our clients expect.
3D Printing for Custom Components
With three Bambu PS1 3D printers and the H2C workhorse, we manufacture custom speaker adapters and related interior components, including door-panel solutions when required. We design the part, produce it in-house, and implement it with care while protecting the vehicle during installation.
CNC Production with ShopBot PRS Alpha
Our ShopBot PRS Alpha series CNC produces birch subwoofer enclosures and custom parts with strong turnaround times and consistent accuracy. CNC precision supports clean fitment, repeatable builds, and professional enclosure construction.
Vehicles We Commonly Service
Clients trust us with Porsche, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Bentley, Audi, Ferrari, Dodge Hellcats, BMW, Mini, Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and EVs including Tesla. We follow dealer-level shop bay standards, use the proper tools for today’s platforms, and protect the vehicle during every stage of disassembly, fabrication, and reassembly.
Warranty, Training, and Follow-Up Support
Window film includes a lifetime warranty where applicable, and mobile electronics are supported by manufacturer warranties. Many dealer-partner products also include an added one-year warranty when installed in our bays.
After installation, we provide walkthrough training, setup guidance, and follow-up support so you understand operation, settings, and long-term expectations.
