Ten minutes up Barbur: directions from Tigard

From Main Street or the Tigard Triangle, take Pacific Highway (OR-99W) north. It becomes SW Barbur Boulevard at the city line; turn left on SW 30th Avenue and you are two blocks from Multnomah Boulevard and the shop. From Bull Mountain, King City or the Durham Road side of town, OR-99W is still the simplest route. From the Bridgeport Village or Metzger end of Tigard, I-5 north to exit 296B drops you directly onto Multnomah Boulevard.

Traffic on OR-99W and 217 backs up in the afternoon, so most Tigard customers drop off on the way to work and pick up on the way home. Detail packages run five to eight hours, tint is usually same day, and film or coating work is one to five days depending on coverage.

Why Tigard cars need this more than they used to

Tigard is built around three highways: Pacific Highway, OR-217 and I-5. Between the Washington Square traffic, the Tigard Triangle construction and the daily I-5 merge at Haines Road, a Tigard commuter spends a lot of time in slow traffic behind trucks. That is where the gravel, tar and brake dust come from that stick to a front bumper and lower doors. On the residential side, Bull Mountain and the streets around Cook Park and the Fanno Creek Trail are heavily treed, so cars parked outside pick up sap, needles and bird droppings that etch clear coat if they sit through a warm weekend.

The combination is a car that looks dull from road film on the bottom half and spotted from tree fallout on the top half. An exterior detail with polish fixes the damage that has already happened. A ceramic coating or paint protection film keeps it from coming back.

Paint protection film for the front end

Global Films PPF is a clear, self-healing urethane that absorbs the impacts a bumper takes on I-5 and 217. Full front coverage (bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors, headlights and door cups) is the most popular choice for Tigard commuters and takes one to two days. If you are choosing between coverage levels, our post on partial versus full front versus full body PPF walks through the tradeoffs. Matte film starts at $2,599 for a full front, and gloss film is quoted per vehicle.

Ceramic coating for easy washing

A Feynlab coating bonds to the clear coat so tree sap, road film and water spots release with a hand wash. It also protects against the UV fade that shows up on cars parked all day in the Washington Square or Kruse Way lots. Every package starts with paint correction, and the tiers carry 1, 3 and 5 year warranties. Read the 1, 3 and 5 year ceramic coating comparison to pick a tier.

Shopping the dealerships on Pacific Highway?

The dealer row along OR-99W and 217 is where a lot of Tigard residents buy their cars, and nearly every finance office will offer a protection package before you sign. Our guide to what to do before dealer add-ons explains what those packages actually include. In most cases you get better results, a real warranty and a lower price by bringing the car to a dedicated shop within the first week of ownership, before the paint has seen a single automatic car wash.

Pick-up, drop-off and white glove service

We offer pick-up and drop-off for Tigard customers. Tell us where the vehicle will be, we collect it, do the work at the shop and bring it back. Keeping multiple vehicles, an exotic, or a special car that rarely leaves the garage? Select high-end vehicles, exotics, and collector cars may qualify for white glove service at your location. Ask when you call.

We also serve drivers from Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Hillsboro, Gresham and Vancouver, WA.

Tigard frequently asked questions

How do I get to Custom Details from Tigard?

Take Pacific Highway (OR-99W) north until it becomes SW Barbur Boulevard, turn left on SW 30th Avenue, and continue to 3433 SW Multnomah Blvd. From the I-5 side of Tigard, use exit 296B for Multnomah Boulevard. Either way it is about 10 to 15 minutes outside rush hour.

How much does window tinting cost for a Tigard driver?

Standard Global tint starts at $99 for a windshield strip, $159 to match the front two windows to factory rear glass, $229 for a full windshield and $279 for a full vehicle surround. Ceramic IR tint is $159, $259, $325 and $599 for the same coverages.

Should I buy the dealership protection package or come to you?

We recommend skipping the dealer package. Those are usually spray-on sealants applied without paint correction and with limited warranties. A Feynlab ceramic coating or Global paint protection film installed at our shop includes paint prep, a written manufacturer warranty of up to 5 years for the coating and 10 years for the film, and usually costs less.

Can you pick up my car from Bull Mountain or Bridgeport?

Yes. Pick-up and drop-off is available throughout Tigard, including Bull Mountain, King City, Metzger and the Bridgeport area. Mention it when you book and we will arrange a time that works with your schedule.
