About XPEL
What is XPEL PPF?
XPEL is an American company founded in 1997, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. It is the world's largest dedicated Paint Protection Film manufacturer, publicly traded on the NASDAQ exchange, with certified installers in 100+ countries. In India, XPEL now operates a direct presence headquartered in Bengaluru — acquired its former distributor in 2024 to manage India operations directly.
XPEL Ultimate Plus is their flagship film — a self-healing thermoplastic urethane (TPU) at 168–200 microns thick that physically protects your car's paint from rock chips, scratches, UV damage, chemical stains, and bird drops. It is the preferred PPF brand for Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, and Porsche owners globally.
XPEL's DAP (Design Access Program) is the world's largest pre-cut PPF template database — 80,000+ car model templates covering every Indian vehicle from Maruti Alto to Mercedes S-Class. Auto Grid receives regular DAP updates from XPEL directly, ensuring zero hand-trimming on your vehicle during installation.
Auto Grid in Kondapur, Hyderabad is a certified XPEL installer. Certification means our technicians are trained directly by XPEL, our studio meets XPEL's environment standards (dust-free, climate-controlled), and all XPEL warranties we issue are fully backed by XPEL — not just by Auto Grid.

Installer Certification
Why XPEL Certification Matters in India
XPEL certification is not just a badge — it is the mechanism through which your 10-year warranty becomes valid. An installation by an uncertified shop using XPEL film cannot issue a valid XPEL warranty. This is a common grey-market issue in India where uncertified studios buy XPEL film and install it without warranty backing.
Auto Grid holds current XPEL certification. You can independently verify our status on XPEL's official installer locator at xpel.com/find-an-installer.
XPEL certification also covers installation technique — their film has specific handling requirements, edge-finishing standards, and environment requirements (dust-free studio) that differ from other brands. Our technicians are trained directly by XPEL.
Valid 10-Year Warranty
Only certified installers can issue warranties backed directly by XPEL. Uncertified shops cannot.
XPEL-Trained Technicians
Our team completed XPEL's certification training covering film handling, edge finishing, and quality standards.
Official DAP Access
Certified installers receive regular DAP template updates. We always install from XPEL's latest cut patterns.
Verifiable Status
Our certification is publicly verifiable on XPEL's installer locator — not just our claim.
