Wrapping and Films
Question-01I want to wrap my car with a film - what do I need for this?+
We first determine the type of wrapping: protective, decorative with a color change, or with a custom design. Before starting work, specialists inspect the vehicle’s paintwork to assess whether surface preparation is necessary for wrapping.
After the initial inspection, we define the scope of work, the timeline for completion, and the cost of the wrapping.
Question-02How much will it cost to wrap my car?+
Each car is unique, so we do not have a fixed price for wrapping. The cost depends on the amount of preparatory work, the complexity of the car’s body, and the type of materials used.
Please leave your contact information: our manager will get in touch with you and provide all the details.
Question-03How long does it take to wrap a car?+
For wrapping the front bumper, it typically takes at least two days. For more complex jobs, it can take up to five days. On average, a full car wrapping process takes about 4 working days.
During the consultation, our manager will provide detailed information on how long it will take to wrap your car
Question-04Do I need to wash my car before wrapping?+
No, car washing is included in our work package as one of the stages of preparing the body for wrapping. The quality of the wash directly affects the wrapping result, so we wash all cars ourselves.
The project manager will explain how much time the wrapping will take and what will be included in the scope of work.
Question-05There are chips on the body. Do I need to fix them before wrapping?+
Before wrapping, all chips and minor scratches should be repaired, but it will be more effective if our specialists handle this at the studio or offer the optimal preparation method for the body before wrapping.
Question-06Can the paintwork be damaged during the wrapping of my car?+
At Stervo Garage, we eliminate even the slightest possibility of such damage. We use a special knife cutting technique for working on vehicles, which avoids direct contact of the blade with the paint.
Additionally, our experts employ the 3M Knifeless technology: no knives are used; instead, a special thread cuts the film.
Question-07Does the vinyl film provide any protection?+
The primary function of vinyl film is to change the appearance of the car. It also provides some level of protection, but it does not offer the same level of impact resistance as a polyurethane stone guard film.
Our consultation manager will provide more information on how wrapping will protect your car and enhance its appearance.
Question-08Can I order partial wrapping for the hood and bumper?+
Such a procedure is practically futile. Unwrapped parts are applied unevenly, leaving them vulnerable to damage. Partial wrapping is almost pointless, so we do not offer it at the studio and always insist on full coverage of parts.
Instead, we offer a ‘front impact protection’ service.
This minimal package effectively protects the front section of the car’s body.
Question-09What is the lifespan of automotive film?+
We are official representatives of 3M in Ukraine and work with professional vinyl films from the 1080 series. The manufacturer provides a 5-year warranty on materials. Additionally, we offer a 7-year warranty on maintaining transparency and matte stone guard films.
At Stervo Garage, we stand behind our quality workmanship and offer a 1-year warranty on our car wrapping services. This is due to the conditions of use and the quality of external car washes, for which we cannot be held responsible.
Please inquire with our manager about warranties for our services and materials; they will provide detailed consultation.
Question-10What are the specific maintenance considerations for a car wrapped in film?+
The most important requirement after wrapping your car is to visit a high-quality car wash regularly.
The minimum distance from the high-pressure water gun at car washes should be at least 70 cm.
Under no circumstances should automatic car washes with brushes or washes with aggressive chemical components be used—they can damage the film. If you visit a third-party service for washing, ask the specialists to be careful about this.
For our clients at Stervo Garage, we have equipped a specialized car wash for vehicles covered with film. Our experts are well-versed in all aspects of car care.
When would you like to schedule your car?
Question-11Can I remove the film by myself?+
We work with modern films that can be removed by the owner, especially if the car was wrapped over its original factory paint.
However, we do not recommend our clients to attempt this themselves or advise third-party specialists on removal. There are various technological nuances during the removal process, depending on the service life and conditions of vehicle use. Our studio experts can prevent or minimize any potential issues.
Restoring the paintwork after improper removal can be difficult and costly.
Tinting
Question-01I need to tint my car for traveling abroad: what are the tinting requirements I need to follow?+
According to regulations, the windshield and front side windows must be free of tinting film. Clear thermal films are allowed for these windows.
Question-02What are the differences between standard tint films and premium tint films?+
Premium films provide a thermal effect by blocking the penetration of ultraviolet rays into the car’s interior. This film significantly reduces the heating of the interior, preserving the upholstery and interior elements from fading.
Detailing
Question-01Do detailing coatings applied to a car's body protect against mechanical damage?+
It all depends on the type of detailing. Initial stages serve purely decorative purposes. We offer more comprehensive components with a defined level of mechanical protection.
Submit an application to our manager and learn more about all the nuances for your car.
Question-02The body has "spider web" scratches. Can polishing remove these without damaging the paint?+
Our technicians use special equipment and materials for polishing cars. This allows us to eliminate the risk of damaging the paintwork.
Our specialists have undergone specialized training and are skilled in working with even the most demanding types of paints.
Other Questions
Question-01Can I remove my wheels to repair and repaint them while my car is with you for wrapping?+
Our technicians can independently remove wheels, perform a range of restoration and enhancement works on them, or select new ones from our studio’s assortment.
Bring everything to us. Within the specified timeframe, you will receive your car fully wrapped with new or refurbished wheels.
Question-02Do I need to update my vehicle registration documents after changing the color?+
According to legislative requirements, it is necessary to do this. In reality, most clients do not pay much attention to it, even when traveling abroad.
Question-03Do you perform work only at your studio?+
We conduct almost all work in our studio. This is the only way we can ensure high-quality results.
For corporate clients, we can perform services on-site.
We also work outside the studio for oversized projects when the studio is fully booked and there are no available slots inside.
Question-04Can you do partial soundproofing?+
We can do it, but usually it’s not advisable. After soundproofing work on the dashboard, we may hear noises from other parts of the cabin, and over time, noises may appear in other areas.
That’s why we recommend performing full soundproofing, which effectively and reliably eliminates unwanted noises.
Question-05What additional services can you perform while my car is being wrapped?+
Stervo Garage offers a variety of services and products tailored to different types of cars and usage conditions. We provide services ranging from traditional car surface protection to installing modern alarms and customizing individual interiors.
Our dedicated project manager will propose options for your car. Please leave your request in the form below to learn more details from your manager.
Question-06Is it true that Stervo Garage tuning studio is an internationally certified expert?+
It’s true. We are the only ones in Ukraine to have undergone international certification from 3M.
Our studio’s craftsmen and designers create projects that go abroad; we conduct mobile wrapping sessions in other countries.
