About 718 Auto Customization (Fort Lee)
718 Auto Customization's Fort Lee location operates as a Ceramic Pro Elite Dealer, a designation that changes what this Bergen County shop can actually sell. Elite status unlocks products no standard installer carries, headlined by Ultimate Armor: a full-exterior program that films the entire front end in paint protection film, coats every remaining painted surface in Ceramic Pro nanoceramic, and backs the combination with the industry's only lifetime warranty on a complete appearance package, documented on the vehicle's Carfax report. For auto customization in Fort Lee, that warranty paper trail is the closest thing the protection trade has to a factory option. The coating menu runs the full Ceramic Pro ladder. Gold carries a lifetime warranty, Silver five years, Bronze two, and Sport introduces first-timers to the chemistry, while wheel-and-caliper and marine coatings extend the same protection to brake hardware and boats. The Elite exclusives go further: Ceramic Pro ION, a two-component system whose ion-exchange technology fuses its layers into a single surface the brand rates at twice the durability of traditional nanoceramics, and Ceramic Pro Lux for flexible and hard surfaces alike. Film work follows the same tiered logic. Protective film comes in gloss, matte, black, urban, and Shift color-infused finishes, packaged from a front-bumper kit through Partial Front, Full Front, a Track Pack that adds A-pillars and rockers, and Full Car coverage. Window tint uses Ceramic Pro's KAVACA films in Carbon X, Ceramic, and the Elite-only Ultimate IR, and windshield protection film guards the one pane no tint can. Location matters for a shop like this, and Lemoine Avenue is a shrewd address. Fort Lee sits at the mouth of the George Washington Bridge, which puts the store within a short hop of Manhattan's Upper West Side, Edgewater's showroom row, and the Palisades Parkway commuter stream, exactly the driving that pelts front bumpers with expansion-joint gravel and bridge grit. Customers coming from New York can drop a car after the morning crossing and collect it on the evening return, and the 10 AM to 7:30 PM weekday window is built around that rhythm rather than a nine-to-five shop schedule. The customization side gives the location its Bergen County personality. Starlight headliners, factory-style ambient lighting, grille and fog lighting, and audio work come out of the same bays, and the shop finances larger builds. The team, owner Mike with Sean, Aiden, and Bella at the front, runs the store Monday through Friday 10 AM to 7:30 PM and Saturday until 6, at 2140 Lemoine Avenue minutes from the George Washington Bridge. It is the New Jersey sister to the brand's Brooklyn headquarters, sharing its Square booking and two decades of installation pedigree.
Reputation & Reviews Summary
A perfect 5.0 across 266 Google reviews puts the Fort Lee store among the highest-rated protection shops in Bergen County, and the written feedback shows the score is earned across both halves of the menu. On the protection side, customers describe ceramic tint priced below the competing quotes they gathered, coatings explained tier by tier without upselling, and film edges that vanish into panel lines. The customization stories are the more vivid ones. One reviewer brought in a starlight headliner botched by another shop; the team rewrapped the headliner in suede, reinstalled the fiber optics evenly, and let him keep the car during the work, a flexibility he credited to owner Mike by name. Another had OEM-style ambient lighting, a starlight roof, and full-body film installed on the same vehicle and reported all three reading as factory equipment. Fog-light and grille-light installs draw the same adjectives: clean, quick, fairly priced. Staff names come up constantly, Mike for accommodating scheduling and taking responsibility for outcomes, Sean and Aiden for walking customers through options, Bella at the desk, which in a review pool this size signals a store where accountability is personal rather than corporate. Warranty follow-through appears in the feedback as more than a slogan; buyers of tint and coating packages mention the coverage terms being spelled out in writing before work begins, and the Carfax documentation on Ceramic Pro packages turns the protection into a resale asset the next owner can verify. The Instagram following tells the same story at scale: 225,000 followers watch this brand's builds, and the Fort Lee bays produce a steady share of them. Same-day tint-and-lighting combinations appear repeatedly in the feedback, so ask when booking; for larger coating or film packages, the Elite dealer warranty conversation is worth having before choosing a tier. For a location page, the short version is simple: the Fort Lee bays carry the brand flagship products and the review record to match.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Ultimate Armor package?
It is Ceramic Pro's flagship: full-front paint protection film combined with ceramic coating over every other painted surface, backed by the industry's only lifetime warranty on a complete exterior package and documented on your vehicle's Carfax report. Only Elite Dealers like the Fort Lee store can sell and warranty it.
What makes Ceramic Pro ION different from a regular ceramic coating?
ION is a two-component system whose ion-exchange technology fuses its coating layers into a single bonded surface, which Ceramic Pro rates at roughly twice the durability and longevity of traditional nanoceramic coatings. It is an Elite Dealer exclusive.
Which tint films does the Fort Lee shop install?
Ceramic Pro KAVACA films in three tiers: Carbon X, Ceramic, and the Elite-exclusive Ultimate IR for maximum infrared heat rejection. Windshield protection film is also available for the glass tint cannot cover.
Do you install starlight headliners and ambient lighting in Fort Lee?
Yes, both are house specialties, along with grille and fog lighting and audio work. Reviewers describe factory-grade results, including a botched starlight roof from another shop rewrapped in suede and reinstalled evenly here.
Is this the same company as the Brooklyn 718 shop?
