Dash Cam & Paint Protection Recommendation

[IGotEastBay]

Can anybody recommend an East Bay spot (preferably Walnut Creek/Lamorinda area) to get the following done:

- Dash Cam install - I'll probably pick up a two channel BlackVue prior to the install.

- Paint Protection - I'm undecided on what to go with, looking at wraps and/or something like an opt-pro but not wanting to spend a ton. I'm not super picky but do want to provide reasonable protection against expensive paint repairs.

Picking up our new model s tomorrow, so hoping to get this stuff done soonish.

Thanks!

Can you make the drive to Sacramento? I have friends who have shops in the area who are very good at all those things.

Dashcam: using an old Samsung Galaxy S3 mounted with a standard Garmin GPS windshield mount that I had laying around. The drawbacks are it's not as convenient as a BlackVue. The automatic features of BlackVue are enticing. I'll upgrade down the road, but for now my 4-yr-old phone fits the bill.

Paint protection: I went with a full Xpel wrap. It's expensive but makes cleaning the car a breeze. You can do a partial wrap. Comes with a 10-yr warranty.

Here are some dashcam videos from just this week using my old cell phone with the free dashcam app, AutoBoy.

Just make sure wherever you go that the installer removes the plastic film on the cameras before driving off. It covers vents in the camera and you don't want it to overheat and shut down.

Hope your delivery went well!

Second the recommendation--Joe T @ OCD is the Bay Area go-to guy. Worth the drive from anywhere (..as the phrase goes).
