Is it okay to leave my car at a PPF shop overnight? What are the risks?
-
I am booking my Lexus RX for film next week, and the shop told me they want to keep the car for two nights. That made me uneasy, because I have never left my car anywhere for that long. My wife says I am worrying too much, but I keep picturing something going wrong while I am not there. I read a bit to prepare, and found a Trusted car PPF installation process explained, which said the work is done in steps, with washing and paint checks first, then cutting, fitting and a final inspection of the edges. That made me feel a little better, but it did not answer the things I actually worry about. Is the car kept inside a locked building at night, and should I ask about cameras? Do they ask you to remove personal items, and does the shop take any responsibility if something goes missing? I also wonder about insurance. Does the shop have cover for customer cars, and should I ask for that in writing? Another question is the keys. Do you hand over both, or just one? And is it normal for a shop to update you with photos during the job? When you collected your car, did you check it under bright light before paying? If you left your car for a few days, please tell me how it went, what you asked before you handed it over, and what you would do differently. Easy answers help me most.
