STEK DYNOshield PPF for Bothell, installed at our Monroe or Tukwila shop, whichever is closer. 10-year warranty, Partial + Front from $1,500.
Most Bothell commuters choose between two packages. Partial + Front ($1,500 car / $1,700 SUV or truck) covers the front bumper, the full hood and the front of the fenders, where nearly all highway chips land. Full Front ($2,000 / $2,200) adds the full fenders, and it's the one we usually suggest if you're on I-405 every day. Full-vehicle coverage starts at $5,000 and is quoted per car. STEK DYNOshield absorbs rock chips and light scratches, fine swirls in the film heal with warmth, and its slick top layer sheds rain and road grime. Trucks usually don't need Full Front; they sit higher and take hits in different places, so we'll recommend targeted panels instead. Prices are the same at both shops.
Bothell is between our two shops, so pick whichever is easier from where you start. From Canyon Park, North Creek or the Mill Creek and Maltby side, Monroe is usually the shorter drive: SR-522 east to 14253 169th Drive SE. From downtown Bothell or the Kenmore side, I-405 south to Tukwila (1050 Industry Drive) often works better, depending on traffic. Sprinters and other oversized vehicles go to Monroe.
We see Bothell cars from Canyon Park and North Creek, the neighborhoods around UW Bothell and Cascadia College, and the residential hills on both sides of town. Whether your commute is I-405 toward Bellevue or SR-522 toward Seattle or Woodinville, it's highway driving behind trucks, and that's what film is for.
