A Heartfelt Thanks from Auto Trim Design Seattle
This Thanksgiving, we pause to reflect with deep appreciation for every customer who trusted Auto Trim Design of Seattle with their vehicle. Whether you came to us for window tint, paint protection, custom leather, or outfitting your entire commercial fleet, we are truly grateful for your continued support in 2025.
As Seattle’s go-to destination for premium automotive upgrades, Auto Trim has grown because of you. From everyday drivers to dealership partners and fleet managers—we see you, we appreciate you, and we’re excited to serve you even better in the season ahead.
Let’s take a moment to look back on what we accomplished together this year—and what’s coming next for your winter car care and upgrades.
2025 Highlights Across Our Three Core Customer Segments
Retail Customers: Everyday Drivers, Elevated
Seattle drivers are among the most passionate vehicle owners in the country, and 2025 showed that more clearly than ever. Our most requested retail services this year included:
- Paint Protection Film (PPF) – Especially for Teslas, Rivians, and luxury SUVs
- Ceramic Window Tinting – For both style and function
- Remote Starts & Heated Seats – A must-have for our chilly PNW mornings

Dealership Partners: Collaboration That Drives Sales
We couldn’t do it without our network of dealership partners across King and Snohomish counties. 2025 saw several new accessory program rollouts, including incentive-based competitions, dealership leaderboards, and seasonal sales spiffs designed to reward top performance.
Many dealers told us this helped boost:
- Per-vehicle gross profit
- CSI scores from happy customers
- Inventory turnover on accessorized vehicles
We’re already working on new enhancements for 2026, including a dealership leaderboard with custom vehicle upgrades for top teams.

These upgrades don’t just look good—they work hard. Fleet clients have seen real benefits such as faster load times, fewer interior repairs, and a more professional appearance on the road.

Winter Protection for Your Vehicle
Seattle roads in winter mean road salt, gravel, and debris—exactly the kind of threats Paint Protection Film (PPF) is built to resist. Our premium PPF solutions help reduce the risk of paint damage from everyday hazards, preserving your vehicle’s finish and appearance over time.
According to XPEL, ULTIMATE PLUS™ Paint Protection Film self-heals light scratches, resists yellowing, and shields high-impact zones like bumpers and rocker panels. XPEL has even partnered with Rivian to offer factory-backed protection packages—including a 5-year/60,000-mile warranty—for the R1T and R1S via the Rivian Gear Shop (source).
Whether you drive a Tesla, Rivian, or luxury SUV, protecting your paint isn’t just about aesthetics—it can help support long-term value, especially during Seattle’s harsh winter months. Explore our EV-specific and high-end vehicle packages today.

Tint for Seattle’s Winter Glare and Privacy
The low winter sun in Seattle can create serious glare during morning and evening commutes. High-performance ceramic window tint can improve both comfort and safety by reducing harsh light, minimizing eye strain, and enhancing visibility—especially during the darker months.
According to manufacturer testing, products like XPEL Prime XR Plus can block up to 99% of UV rays and 98% of infrared heat, helping maintain a comfortable cabin temperature even during Seattle’s cold, low-sun winter days. Source
