[SJC - South Bay] Need recommendation for local ceramic coating shop

I have 2 cars to do coating on.

A 17 year old M5 and a 2 weeks old M3.
The prices I got quoted seem high, and the same for both cars. It doesn't make sense to me. The M5 would need a lot of work including polishing, and the M3 would need a wash and maybe clay bar on the horizontal surfaces.

Is there a reasonable shop in the area that you can recommend?

Thanks!

A,

Might want to share your price and type of coating.

If it's Ceramicpro, they have 1/3/5/lifetime

Anything else is anything else.

They use Ceramic Pro,

Three levels of service: Good, Better and Best

1) $1200

2) $1900

3) $2700

If I decide to buy level 2, why would it cost the same for a new car v.s. a 17 year old car?
I would assume that the prep for an old car is a lot more extensive comparing to a 2 weeks old car.

This is a cost per car.
Each level is different by how much prep, how many coats, and how many days it takes to do.
