Why Franklin owners choose Ascension
A village, and it drives like one.
Franklin is a village in the proper sense, a few square miles of quiet roads between 13 Mile and 14 Mile with no freeway inside it at all. Telegraph forms the eastern edge and M-10 clips the southwest corner, and neither is what you actually drive on.
So Franklin cars do gentle miles on tree-lined roads, and the damage they take reflects that. Very little stone, a great deal of sap, pollen and shade-damp, and the wash marring that comes from cleaning a car that is never really dirty.
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 Franklin
Five services. One standard of install.
Each one solves a different problem, and most Franklin cars end up with a combination rather than a single service. Tell us what the car does and we will build the right package around it.
Service 01 · PPF
Paint Protection Film in Franklin
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.
Village roads are narrow, tree-lined and gravel-edged, and that combination puts chips low on a bumper and along the rockers where people do not think to look. Film takes that damage instead of the paint, and under it every panel stays factory rather than being blended or resprayed later.
- 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 Franklin
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.
Tree cover means dappled sun rather than none, and UV still gets through. Ceramic film handles it without making a car that is mostly driven in shade feel dark inside.
- 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 Franklin
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.
This is the one that matters here. Franklin is heavily wooded, which means sap and pollen on the paint most of the year, and a coating is what stops either from etching in before you get to it.
- 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 Franklin
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.
Marring from washing a car that is never truly dirty is the most common thing we correct from the village. It lifts out cleanly and it is the necessary 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 Franklin
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.
Damp and leaf debris get into a car that lives under trees in a way they do not elsewhere. A full interior decontamination deals with it before it becomes a smell.
- 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.
Kyle Bernard · Ceramic coating · March 2026Frequently asked
Franklin questions.
How do I get to you from Franklin?
West on 14 Mile Road to M-5, north to the Pontiac Trail roundabout, then Pontiac Trail northwest into Milford. About 14.5 miles. There is no freeway from the village itself, so the first part is surface road.
How do you decide what my car should have?
We look at where the car actually spends its time and build the recommendation around that. A Franklin car on village roads has a different exposure than a freeway commuter, so the coverage gets shaped to it. Send the year, make and model and we will tell you exactly what we would put on it.
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.
