Why Farmington Hills owners choose Ascension

M-5 north, then one road.

I-696 begins inside Farmington Hills, which makes the city unusually well connected. For us the useful route is M-5 north, which ends at a roundabout with Pontiac Trail, and Pontiac Trail runs straight to our door.

Worth knowing: M-5 has no numbered exits on its northern stretch. It is an expressway rather than a full freeway above 13 Mile, so you are looking for the roundabout, not an exit sign. Everyone gets caught by that once.

Farmington Hills is one of the larger cities we serve and the vehicle mix is broad, from commuters on I-696 to garaged weekend cars. We work primarily on new and high-end vehicles across all five services, with a dedicated bay and a set block of time for each.

What we do in Farmington Hills

Five services. One standard of install.

Each one solves a different problem, and a 696 commuter needs a different answer than a garaged weekend car. Tell us how the car actually gets used.

Paint protection film installed on a vehicle front end at the Ascension studio in Farmington Hills Service 01 · PPF

Paint Protection Film in Farmington Hills

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.

Why Farmington Hills owners book it

I-696 is a heavy, fast, congested freeway, and cars that use it daily take stone and debris on the front end continuously. If your car lives on 696 rather than on Grand River, front end coverage is the first thing to look at.

  • 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

Window Tint in Farmington Hills

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.

Why Farmington Hills owners book it

Between office parking and the Grand River corridor, a lot of Farmington Hills cars sit in open lots all day. Ceramic film cuts the heat rather than just the light, which is the difference you actually feel getting in.

  • 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

Ceramic Coating in Farmington Hills

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.

Why Farmington Hills owners book it

Salt on 696 in winter and tree cover in the residential areas in summer, so the car is taking something all year. A coating handles both by stopping either from bonding to the clear coat.

  • 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
Paint corrected black finish reflecting the lighting inside the Ascension studio in Farmington Hills Service 04 · Correction

Paint Correction in Farmington Hills

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.

Why Farmington Hills owners book it

The most common thing we correct here is accumulated wash marring rather than damage. It is entirely fixable and it is the required first stage before a coating locks anything in.

  • 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
Detailed interior and exterior finish on a vehicle at the Ascension studio in Farmington Hills Service 05 · Detailing

Auto Detailing in Farmington Hills

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.

Why Farmington Hills owners book it

Often booked alongside something bigger. If the car is coming in for film or coating anyway, having the interior done in the same stay costs you nothing extra in time.

  • 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 2026
★★★★★

Got 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 2026
★★★★★

Excellent 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.

Frequently asked

Farmington Hills questions.

How do I get to you from Farmington Hills?

M-5 north to where it ends at the Pontiac Trail roundabout in Commerce Township, then Pontiac Trail northwest into Milford. About 11.2 miles. Note that M-5 has no numbered exits up there, so look for the roundabout.

Should I take I-96 instead?

You can, but M-5 is usually the cleaner run. I-96 only clips the corner of Farmington Hills, so for most of the city M-5 north to Pontiac Trail is both shorter and simpler.

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.
