Why Ann Arbor owners choose Ascension
Two roads, and you are here.
From Ann Arbor it is US-23 north to where it meets I-96 at exit 60, then east to exit 155. Two roads, one interchange, about half an hour. Simpler than most towns closer to us.
Ann Arbor cars split into two very different populations. There are the ones that commute US-23 or I-94 daily and take real highway punishment, and there are the ones that live in the city, park on the street year round and never see a freeway. They need opposite things.
We work primarily on new and high-end vehicles across all five services. Every vehicle gets a dedicated bay and a set block of time in a climate controlled studio, because dust and temperature are the two things that quietly ruin a film or coating install.
What we do in Ann Arbor
Five services. One standard of install.
Each one solves a different problem, and Ann Arbor cars split cleanly into commuters and city cars that need opposite things. Tell us which yours is.
Service 01 · PPF
Paint Protection Film in Ann Arbor
Legend Prime film, computer cut for your exact vehicle, backed by a twelve year written warranty.
Paint protection film is a clear urethane layer that takes the stone chips, road salt and wash marring your clear coat would otherwise absorb. It self heals with heat, so light swirls lift back out instead of building up. Under the film every panel stays factory, never blended and never resprayed.
If you commute US-23, front end coverage is the clear answer, because that road is fast, open and heavily trucked. If your car mostly parks around the city, door edges and cups matter far more than the hood. We will ask before quoting.
- Three coverage levels, from the front end through to every painted panel
- Paint correction included before any film goes on, always
- Every edge wrapped rather than trimmed on your paint
- Twelve year written warranty against yellowing, cracking and peeling
Service 02 · Tint
Window Tint in Ann Arbor
Ceramic film only. Over 90 percent total heat rejection and 99 percent UV, cut to your exact glass.
Tint is comfort and protection before it is looks. Ceramic film rejects the heat that bakes a cabin through a Michigan July without the purple fade, bubbling or signal interference that dyed and metallic films bring. Every window is templated to your vehicle and cut before it touches the glass.
Street parking with no cover means a full day of sun in summer. Ceramic film cuts the heat and blocks the UV without going dark enough to be a problem on winter evenings.
- Ceramic film across every tier, no dyed or metallic film in the building
- Over 90 percent total heat rejection, 99 percent UV blocked
- Cut and installed in a dust controlled bay for clean, even edges
- Lifetime warranty, with a free re-tint if the film ever bubbles or peels
Service 03 · Ceramic
Ceramic Coating in Ann Arbor
A hard, hydrophobic layer bonded over corrected paint. One, three and five year tiers.
A ceramic coating is a hardened layer bonded to your clear coat that wax was never able to be. Water sheets off, brake dust and bird droppings struggle to etch, and washing gets meaningfully easier. Every tier here includes complete paint correction first, because a coating locks in whatever is underneath it for as long as it is on the car.
Ann Arbor has serious tree cover, which means sap and pollen most of the year on anything parked outside. A coating stops both from etching and makes the wash meaningfully easier.
- One year, three year and five year tiers
- Complete paint correction included in every tier
- Easier washing and a finish that stays sharp for years, not weeks
- A specialty option for matte finishes and for coating over film
Service 04 · Correction
Paint Correction in Ann Arbor
Swirls and etching cut out of the clear coat in measured stages. No glaze, no filler, nothing hidden.
Years of washing leave swirls, haze and water spots that only show up in direct sun or under good lighting. We machine polish the paint back in stages, lifting the defects out rather than filling over them, and we read clear coat thickness as we go so the finish is corrected safely rather than thinned to chase a number.
City cars pick up parking scuffs and wash marring, commuter cars pick up road film dullness. Both are correctable, and correction is the required first stage before any coating.
- Defects removed, never filled or glazed over
- Clear coat thickness measured throughout
- Stage one for any coating or film install
- Finished under inspection lighting before you see it
Service 05 · Detailing
Auto Detailing in Ann Arbor
Interior and exterior, done to a standard that holds up close and in direct sun.
Detailing here is not a wash. It is a full decontamination inside and out, done by the same specialists who do the correction and coating work, which is why the standard does not drop when the job is a detail rather than a film install.
Commonly booked alongside film or coating, so the car goes home finished inside and out in the same visit rather than coming back for the second half.
- Interior and exterior, decontaminated rather than just cleaned
- Performed by the same team that handles correction and coating
- Sensible first step before any protection service
- Done entirely inside our climate controlled facility

What owners say about the work.
They covered the process from A to Z for my car and their work is impeccable.
Anmol S. · Paint protection film · March 2026Got my windows tinted on my Silverado. I made an appointment beforehand and waited with the truck. The team at Ascension is very professional.
Sebastian Bosoc · Window tint · August 2026Excellent work and staff. I got my car full ceramic coated and couldn't be happier with the results, I'll be sure to bring my other vehicles here.

Ann Arbor questions.
How do I get to you from Ann Arbor?
US-23 north to I-96 at exit 60, then I-96 east to exit 155 for Milford Road. About 18.5 miles and roughly half an hour, and it is two roads with one interchange.
Does it matter whether I commute or just drive locally?
It shapes where the film goes. A US-23 commuter takes stone on the hood and bumper, so coverage starts at the front end. A car parked on a city street takes it on door edges and cups instead. Either way film is what stops the damage reaching your paint, we just put it where your driving actually puts the risk.
Do I need an appointment?
Yes. Every vehicle gets a dedicated bay and a set block of time, which is how the work stays consistent. You are welcome to stop in and look at the studio without one, and we would rather you did before booking anything significant.
How long will my car be here?
Window tint is the quickest of the five. Paint protection film, ceramic coating and correction need longer, because the prep is most of the work. You get a real timeline before anything starts, not an estimate that moves once your car is in the bay.
What does it cost?
Pricing is built around the vehicle and the scope, because a two door and a three row SUV are not the same job. Send the year, make and model and you get a real figure rather than a range.
Do you work on daily drivers or only exotics?
Both, and the standard does not move between them. A leased SUV gets the same bay, the same prep and the same inspection as anything else that comes through.
