Paint Defender is a Veteran-Owned Small Business dedicated to protecting what moves you. Founded in 2006 by Ken Stommel, we began with a simple mission: to provide the Southeast with paint protection that actually lasts.
What started as a mobile operation has grown into Alabama’s premier protection studio. While our roots go back to serving clients like the National Corvette Museum in our early years, our focus today is entirely on our local community here in Montgomery.
We don’t just service cars; we support the people who drive them. We are proud to offer discounts to active military, veterans, and first responders as a small ‘Thank You’ for sacrifices we know all too well.
We are the go-to protection specialists for the region’s most demanding drivers. From daily drivers to show cars, we are the shop that the industry trusts with their own inventory.
Montgomery’s Premier Dealerships: We service virtually all major dealerships in the area, including long-standing relationships with Jack Ingram Motors (Porsche, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo), Dream Motor Group (Lexus, Toyota), and Sonic Automotive (BMW, Genesis, Chevrolet)
The Enthusiast Community: Proud supporters of Capitol City Corvette Club and the Heart of Dixie Mustang Club.
Leading Body Shops: When collision centers need protection film or ceramic coatings re-applied perfectly, they call us.
