Only 18 of the 27 businesses doing protection work in Los Angeles offer paint correction. These are those 18.
Correction is labor rather than product, measured in stages, which is why not every shop that coats offers it. What paint correction actually involves
Every shop below names correction on its own website. Worth asking each one how many stages the price covers, because "prep included" can mean a wash and a clay bar.
| Paint correction in Los Angeles | Low | Median | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 published price | $850 | $850 | $850 |
| National, 329 shops | $345 | $450 | $700 |
Shops publishing a paint correction price come first, then manufacturer credentials, then how much of the business is protection work. Nobody paid to be on this list.
