We’re Moving! Auto Shield Columbia Announces Our New Rabon Road Location
Great news for automotive enthusiasts and drivers across the Midlands! Auto Shield Columbia is expanding. To better serve our clients demanding the absolute pinnacle of surface protection, we are officially moving out of our previous Elgin setup and opening the doors to our brand-new, advanced facility located right in the heart of the city.
Our new home is at 223 Rabon Rd, Columbia, SC 29223, United States. This transition represents a massive leap forward for our operation, allowing us to deliver clean room precision and faster project turnaround times in a highly accessible geographic location.
Why the Move Matters for Your Vehicle
We designed our new home with one primary goal in mind: elevating the structural environment required for a flawless, invisible PPF installation. Applying a high-end clear bra or full-body paint protection film requires microscopic environmental control.
Our Rabon Road location features advanced, enclosed application spaces equipped with specialized air purification and water deionization setups. By isolating the vehicle from airborne dust, ambient pollen, and hard water minerals during the process, our team can ensure an edge-wrapped, bubble-free application that preserves your vehicle’s factory paint and resale value against the worst conditions on Interstate 20 and Interstate 26.
