Why Winter Vehicle Prep Matters in the Bay Area
Even in the Bay Area, where we’re spared from extreme snowstorms, winter brings unique driving challenges. From dense fog and freezing morning temps to rain-soaked roads and UV shifts, your vehicle takes a beating. These conditions don’t just impact your comfort. They shorten your vehicle’s lifespan and lower its resale value if left unaddressed.
Autohaus Automotive Solutions, based in Hayward, helps Bay Area drivers get ahead of seasonal wear with precision-crafted winter upgrades. Whether you’re a daily commuter or fleet manager, prepping your vehicle now ensures safer, smoother drives through the cold season.

Protect Your Paint with Winter-Grade Paint Protection Film (PPF)
Winter driving in the Bay Area means exposure to rain, grit, fallen leaves, and sudden changes in harsh UV conditions. All of which degrade your car’s paint. Paint Protection Film (PPF) is your vehicle’s invisible shield.
At Autohaus, we install Llumar PPF, a winter-grade solution designed to help protect against scratches, oxidation, and chemical etching. Especially for new or luxury vehicles, this layer defends against seasonal road damage without changing your car’s appearance.
PPF can help reduce out-of-pocket expenses at lease return by protecting high-wear areas from damage.
Winter-proof your paint. Book your PPF installation today.
Stay Comfortable with Heated Seat Upgrades
Don’t suffer through cold leather or cloth seats during early morning commutes. Autohaus offers heated seat upgrades, perfect for vehicles that were not equipped with them from the factory.
Using Katzkin leather with optional heat and cooling, we retrofit your interior for all-season comfort. This is especially ideal for fleet vehicles or resale-ready trucks that require modern touches without the need for a trade-in.

Improve Visibility and Comfort with Winter-Optimized Window Tint
While often seen as a summer mod, window tinting has major winter benefits:
- According to Llumar, high-performance window tint can reduce glare and eye strain while driving in bright or reflective conditions.
- Insulates your cabin against cold
- Adds privacy and theft deterrence
Autohaus utilises Llumar window tint, renowned for its optical clarity, legal compliance, and adequate heat retention. Plus, all installations follow California’s VLT% guidelines, so you’re safe from citations.

Prevent Bed Damage with Spray-In Bedliners for Winter Loads
If your truck hauls tools, gear, or snowboards in the winter, your bed takes on moisture, salt, and scratches. Our spray-in bedliners are designed to create a durable, non-slip surface that resists moisture and corrosion, providing long-lasting protection.
This upgrade is a must for contractors, landscapers, and any winter weekend warrior who relies on their truck for work.
