Heated Seats Installation: A Must-Have for Cold Mornings
If you’ve ever shivered your way to work, you know the value of heated seats.We use OEM-style systems from trusted brands like Katzkin and Rostra, designed for safe, reliable integration. Installed by trained professionals following manufacturer specifications for safety and warranty compliance.
At Auto Trim Design, we install OEM-style heated seat kits that integrate seamlessly with your factory interior and meet strict safety standards.
Ideal for:
- Seattle commuters facing long, cold drives
- Parents doing early school drop-offs

Remote Start Systems: Convenience Meets Comfort
With a remote start system, your vehicle can warm up or defrost from the comfort of your home. Start your engine, activate the heater, and be ready to go without stepping outside.
Auto Trim installs remote start systems with key safety protocols including engine shut-off if the brake is pressed before key detection. These safety features—such as automatic engine shutdown if the brake is pressed before key detection—are standard in systems from brands like Compustar and Viper, and are designed in alignment with safety practices recommended by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).
Perfect for:
- Families with young kids
- Professionals with tight morning routines
- Fleet drivers needing reliable winter starts
Window Tinting: More Than Just Style—Winter UV Protection
Seattle’s low winter sun and constant drizzle can create serious glare. Window tinting isn’t just for summer—it helps reduce glare from wet roads, cuts down UV exposure, and even improves visibility.
We offer window tinting that complies with Washington State law—up to 24% VLT (Visible Light Transmission) on front side windows and any darkness on rear windows when combined with dual side mirrors. All films are professionally installed to ensure legal and optical accuracy. [Source: WA State Tint Law RCW 46.37.430]
Benefits include:
- Less eye strain from low sun angles
- Interior protection from UV damage
- Better visibility on gloomy days
Custom Leather Interiors: Easy-to-Clean Luxury for Seattle’s Wet Weather
Leather doesn’t just look luxurious—it also resists water, mud, and spills far better than cloth. That makes it perfect for Seattle’s rainy climate.
We install premium Katzkin interiors, backed by warranty and available in stylish, custom designs to fit your lifestyle—whether you’re a dog owner, busy parent, or Tesla enthusiast. Katzkin interiors come with a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty when installed by an authorized dealer like Auto Trim Design.
