Why Choose Us?

Need a Daily Driver? We got you covered!

Is this your daily driver for work or to get around town? If so, we can arrange a car rental to be dropped off here at either one of our locations for a seamless transfer. We have contract rates with Hertz Car Rental and your insurance will be transferred over while your car is being worked on at our shop. The price is $37.99/day with deductible coverage included.

We’re an ICBC Approved Vendor!

If you didn’t know, we are an ICBC vendor so all our paint protection work is covered by ICBC should you ever need to make a claim (don’t need to pay from your own pocket again). We understand that there will be a lot going on after an accident. We can walk you through step-by-step if you need help in filing a claim. We also have close relationships with bodyshops that we can refer you to get your vehicle back on the road as soon as possible!

Warrantied Our Paint Protection Products & Installs!

As certified technicians and installers, all our paint protection (PPF & Coatings) work will receive the full manufacturer’s warranty. With XPEL Ultimate Plus, Ultimate Fusion, and Stealth, XPEL offers 10-year product warranty against discolouration, adhesive failure, etc. (please refer to XPEL’s website for details). We offer lifetime warranty on our workmanship (non-transferrable) up to the original invoice amount.

Note: XPEL will not warranty their products on installations done by shops that are not certified (which we are certified for). For a list of certified shops by XPEL, please visit here – XPEL Certified Locations.

We Are CarFax, CarProof Approved!

We are also a CarFax approved speed shop, any paint protection work done at our shop will be recorded in CarFax’s database. When you do decide to sell your vehicle and the potential buyer decides to look up your vehicle’s record via the VIN number, it’ll show the exact date that the vehicle has been protected. This will definitely help the potential buyer make a decision when comparing two identical vehicles!

Drive an EV Electric Vehicle?

Drive an EV? We got you! We are equipped with wall mounted EV chargers at our facility. Just let us know if you would like or don’t want us to plug-in your vehicle prior to delivery!

Sweet Referral Program!

Want to refer a friend? We appreciate and welcome any business! If you successfully refer us a friend on our eligible Paint Protection Film or Nano Coating Packages, both you, and your friend will receive a $100 Car Wash e-Gift Card each to be used on our car wash services (that’s $200 total combined)! Although the Car Wash e-Gift card is non-transferable and has no cash value, it will be stored with your profile with no expiration so you can use it anytime.

No Crazy Amount for Deposits

Because we have limited spots indoor and we need to allocate man power to work on each project, as shop policy, we just need to take a small deposit to secure any appointments. Nothing crazy, $201 will be sufficient just so we can make sure our client is serious and we won’t end up with wasted resources. You can either call in with your credit card information, have us send you an online payment link, send us an Email Interac transfer (EMT), or come in person to drop off the deposit. We’re very flexible!

We Offer Consumer Financing!

Don’t want to pay in one lump sum and want to split up the payments? We’ve partnered with a Financial Institute in Toronto called Financeit to offer consumer financing. We offer this as an alternative method of payment to our clients as we know projects can add up quite quickly. Visit our Financing page for more info!

I ordered and placed an AWE exhaust system for Ford F150 Gen 2 Raptor. Kelvin was very responsive and booked me in the within a few days. Other workshops mentioned that it would take minimal of 3 weeks to bring in the parts.The installation process it self was seamless, Matt and Kelvin installed the Oil separator and the exhaust system in just under an hour.These guys are truly the best in the business in terms of customer service and commitment.Keep up the great work!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!Zack, Kelvin, and his team have been nothing short of spectacular. I’ve always wanted to have full paint protection film applied and decided to go with XPEL Stealth at SPL. They went through thick and thin to guarantee the installation was impeccable and performed with great care.Kelvin was there at the end when I picked up the vehicle. He also walked me through the installation process to ensure everything was done perfectly. Amazing results! Thank you SPL! 😎Coming back again with my wife’s Model Y soon!

Was shopping around for a new detailer for my ceramic pro maintenance. Have been a long time follower of Speed Projects Laboratory so I reached out and Zack walked me through the process, answered a bunch of my questions, and booked me in.Kelvin helped me during my actual appointment answering all of my questions thoroughly and patiently. Their work spoke for itself and I was very happy with the results!A combination of patience, workmanship, and just plain old customer service have made this guy a returning customer!

Derek, Zack and their team are amazing.Friendly and accommodating service advice, and premium workmanship at very fair pricing.They take the time to give you solid advice before any work is done, and also make sure to explain the features of whatever product you have them install. You will never feel rushed when speaking with them, and you will never be hurried out the door after your product is installed.Definitely the best place to get car accessories, mods, and tunes done in BC.

The two fellas were prompt for their appointment. They were dressed professionally & were most polite and considerate. They maintained a clean and safe work area, and ensured that their own safety measures were in place.The were focused the whole time during the job and their attention to detail was amazing, which was of extreme importance being that the window being tinted was the front of my new dog training center and one of the first impressions my clients will get upon arrival.I can not recommend Speed Projects Laboratory enough! Thank you!

Excellent service and workmanship! From the time of booking to delivering the final product, Zack, Kelvin & team were professional, responsive and above all else, true to their word. This no-pressure staff took the time to understand what I was trying to accomplish and explained the variety of options, each with their own pros & cons, so that in the end I could make an informed decision. Expectations around timing, quality of work, potential challenge areas were all laid out from the beginning. When the work was completed I was very impressed with their level of care and attention to detail. I feel confident recommending them and would definitely go back - these guys are worth the drive across town!

I went in to have a 2 channel dash cam installed and the team was great! The install was quick and seamless. The end product was very professional looking and they showed me all the features and updates at the end. They made sure I was 100% satisfied with the look and function of the system before I left. I will be bringing my car back here for future mods. Thanks guys!

Zach was awesome to work with. I had the back of my Model X seats covered for protection and to remove the standard gloss look. Zach was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the process. I felt very comfortable leaving my car in his care and the results didn't disappoint. I have booked another appointment with him and am getting the front of my Tesla wrapped to protect against rock chips. Well done.

Got my dash cam installed here last year by Zack and was very happy with the results. Fast forward to now, the compartment holding the wires against the front window were snapped off during annual maintenance at Mercedes-Benz. Zack was happy to help fix this for me and helped replace the compartment with a new one free of charge, despite the damage not being his responsibility. Great and honest service, definitely recommended!

Had our PPF (XPEL Ultimate PLUS) installed by Zack at Speed Projects Lab back in June for our Tesla Model 3 Performance, and are thoroughly happy with the work completed by the team. Zack was quick to get back to us by email, and provided ample info on packages and best practices. If you're looking for professionalism, and a team that takes pride in their work... Look no further.

Friendly and Professional Service.Zack and his team really took care of us. The vehicle was dropped off the day after delivery for XPEL protection. He took his time to explain the application technique. He maintained great communication while the vehicle was in the shop and kept me updated.
Highly recommended.
