About 718 Auto Customization (Fort Lee)

718 Auto Customization's Fort Lee store operates as a Ceramic Pro Elite Dealer, and the designation changes what it can actually sell. Elite status unlocks products a standard installer does not carry, 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 a lifetime warranty documented on the vehicle's Carfax report. For auto customization in Fort Lee, that paper trail is the closest thing the protection trade has to a factory option. The Carfax registration is the part worth pausing on, because it converts protection from a story into a record. A coating is invisible by design, which means a second owner has no way to verify it exists, and the value it should add at resale usually evaporates on the used market for exactly that reason. A warranty attached to the vehicle history report survives the sale, so the next buyer sees documentation rather than a claim. The coating menu runs the full Ceramic Pro ladder, Gold with a lifetime warranty, Silver at five years, Bronze at two, and Sport as the introduction, with wheel, caliper and marine coatings extending the same chemistry. The Elite exclusives go further: Ceramic Pro ION, a two-component system whose layers fuse into a single surface the brand rates at twice the durability of traditional nanoceramics, and Lux for flexible and hard surfaces alike. Film follows the same tiered logic, in gloss, matte, black, urban and color-infused finishes, packaged from a front-bumper kit through Partial Front, Full Front, a Track Pack adding A-pillars and rockers, and Full Car. Window tint uses KAVACA films in Carbon X, Ceramic and the Elite-only Ultimate IR. Lemoine Avenue is a shrewd address: Fort Lee sits at the mouth of the George Washington Bridge, which is exactly the driving that pelts front bumpers with expansion-joint gravel, and New York customers can drop a car after the morning crossing and collect it on the evening return. Starlight headliners, ambient and grille lighting and audio work come out of the same bays. It is the New Jersey sister to the brand's Brooklyn store.

Reputation & Reviews Summary

The feedback covers both halves of the menu. On the protection side, customers describe ceramic tint priced under the competing quotes they gathered, coatings explained tier by tier without an upsell, and film edges that vanish into panel gaps. The Elite-only products come up as the reason customers crossed the bridge rather than buying locally, and the Carfax documentation gets mentioned by owners thinking about resale rather than only about gloss. On the customization side the starlight and ambient lighting work draws the photographs, and the named front-of-house team gets credited for making a complicated order simple.

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?

Yes. Fort Lee is the New Jersey location of 718 Auto Customization, whose headquarters operates at 1572 Bushwick Avenue in Brooklyn. Both stores share the (201) 380-7500 line and Square booking; the Fort Lee store is the brand's Ceramic Pro Elite storefront, open Monday to Friday 10 to 7:30 and Saturday 10 to 6.
