Let's Get Started
XPEL Certified Installer
Our technicians are trained and certified through XPEL, the manufacturer behind the paint protection film, window tint, and ceramic coating products we install every day.
Vehicle Paint Protection
The Standard for Vehicle Protection in the RGV
Plenty of shops in the Valley can hang a certificate on the wall. Fewer can back every install with a manufacturer relationship that gives the warranty real weight.

Sun Stoppers Authorized Location
As an authorized Sun Stoppers location, we carry the full lineup of XPEL automotive and architectural films, from paint protection to home and office window film.
That authorization matters for a reason most customers don't think about until something goes wrong: it's what makes the manufacturer's warranty valid. A film installed outside the authorized network doesn't carry the same coverage, no matter how good the installer is. Ours does.

Our Auto Protection Services
Not every vehicle or property needs the same level of protection. We’ll review how you use your vehicle, how long you plan to keep it, and what you want to protect before recommending a solution. Whether that's a full-front paint protection film or commercial window film, here is what we offer across our Rio Grande Valley and Olmito locations.
Paint Protection Film
Shield your vehicle's vulnerable front end against rock chips and road debris with a virtually invisible layer. We install high-performance, self-healing XPEL films designed to absorb everyday road wear and help preserve your factory paint.
Window Tint
Block punishing South Texas heat and harmful UV rays with premium automotive window tinting. Enjoy a cooler cabin, increased privacy, and enhanced interior preservation on every drive.
Ceramic Coating
Replace temporary waxes with a durable, chemically bonded shield that locks in a deep showroom shine. This advanced layer repels water, dirt, and road grime, making routine washing faster and easier.
Auto Detailing
Keep your car consistently spotless with expert interior and exterior maintenance tailored for protected surfaces. Our technicians clean your vehicle thoroughly without compromising your existing films or coatings.
Vinyl Wrap
Transform your vehicle’s appearance while adding a sacrificial layer over the original paint. We use premium wrap materials for smooth edges, flawless coverage, and a completely unique look.
Paint Correction
Remove or dramatically reduce swirl marks, light clear-coat scratches, and oxidation to restore clarity, depth, and gloss to your paint. This multi-stage polishing process brings dull paint back to life, standing strong on its own or paired with a ceramic coating.
Commercial & Residential Window Film
Extend professional-grade solar control from your vehicle to your home or office property. We install high-quality architectural films that reduce glare, help reduce solar heat gain and cooling demands, and protect interior furnishings.
Why Choose Black Diamond?
What Certified Protection Actually Delivers
A certification is only worth something if it shows up in the work. Here's what it looks like on your vehicle.
Documented Warranty Terms for Every Job
Our XPEL window film carries a manufacturer's lifetime transferable warranty, and our paint protection film is backed by a no-hassle warranty that runs for as long as you own the vehicle, no deductibles. If you sell the car, the coverage goes with it.
Real Installs, Verified Results Every Time
We deliver clean installs and real results. That means no rushed edges on your tint, no lifted corners on your PPF six months later, and a team that will walk you through the work before you drive off.
Heat and UV Protection You Can Measure
Our XPEL ceramic window tint blocks up to 98% of infrared heat and up to 99% of UV rays. In a region where summer temperatures regularly climb past 100 degrees, that's not a marketing line, it's the difference between a hot steering wheel and a cool one.
Beyond comfort, that UV protection is doing quiet, long-term work on your interior. Dashboards crack, seats fade, and leather dries out under years of direct South Texas sun. Blocking the UV rays that cause it is one of the more overlooked reasons customers come back to add tint after they've already had paint protection film or ceramic coating done.

Areas We Served
Two Shops Serving the Rio Grande Valley
We operate from two locations so drivers across the Valley don't have to cross the whole region for an appointment. Our Rio Grande Valley shop sits at 2813 Zinnia Ave, and our Olmito location covers the Brownsville and Harlingen side of the RGV. Both locations install the same XPEL products to the same standard, and both are staffed by technicians trained under the same certification.
If you're closer to Rio Grande Valley, Edinburg, Mission, Pharr, or the surrounding communities, our Rio Grande Valley shop is the faster stop. If you're coming from Brownsville, Harlingen, San Benito, or Los Fresnos, Olmito is usually the shorter drive. Either way, you're working with the same shop and the same warranty terms.
About Black Diamond
Meet the Team Behind Black Diamond RGV
Black Diamond RGV was founded in 2020 by Jorge Castillo and his wife, Bella Castillo. What started as a mobile car wash grew, install by install, into a shop known across the Valley for paint protection film, window tint, and ceramic coating. Jorge still leads the shop floor today, and the team he's built brings the same attention to detail to a daily-driver truck as it does to a brand-new Tesla.

Which Black Diamond RGV location is closer to me in the Rio Grande Valley?
Our Rio Grande Valley location is convenient for drivers from the city, Edinburg, Mission, Pharr, and surrounding communities. Our Olmito location is typically more convenient for customers coming from Brownsville, Harlingen, San Benito, Los Fresnos, and nearby areas.
Do both your Rio Grande Valley and Olmito locations offer the same services?
Yes. Both Black Diamond RGV locations offer the same core vehicle protection services and install XPEL products to the same professional standards and training requirements.
Do you provide vehicle protection services for Tesla owners in Rio Grande Valley?

What vehicle protection service is right for my car?

If you're weighing paint protection film against ceramic coating, wondering what window tint actually blocks, or just want your truck to look the way it did the day you drove it off the lot, start with a conversation. Get a Quote, and we'll walk you through the options that make sense for your vehicle, your budget, and how you actually use it.
We'd rather spend fifteen minutes explaining the difference between our film options than sell you the wrong one and have you back in a month unhappy. That's the certified-specialist approach we mentioned at the top of this page, and it applies just as much to the conversation before the work as it does to the install itself.
