Hi,
I am buying new Toyota corolla and dealer is trying to sell some ceramic paint coating.
Do I need paint coating if yes which type/brand is recommended and where should I done it in Sydney?
I am considering window tinting any recommendation.

Ceramic coating is great but I'd get it done through a detailer rather than pay the dealership premium.
Window tint - ditto

Make sure you spend the 2hours with the accerories sales person. Make sure they tell you about all the extra products that they can rip you off on. Then ask what they can do as a package deal. Then say thanks, but no thanks. Go get the tinting done for sure elsewhere, and ceremic coating ok, but not necessary if you maintain the car regularly anyway. After a week being in the supermarket carpark you' ll get over the new car babying. Enjoy your Corolla. Good OZb choice.
often it can be a rip off eg the $400 "lifetime fabric protection " is a can of scotchguard. Just skip it. Specially for a Toyota.
have they offered you the essential dash cam for $2000 yet? They have just the right one for you.
Heh they did that to my dad. Who said it was too much and he was a pensioner so they dropped it by $500 (he is also tight so still refused)
Plenty of tint places around to choose from, you should ring around for a quote.
Ask them why the factory paint isn't good enough and needs a ceramic coating. It's just a con to get more profit on the sale. If you want to protect your bonnet and bumper I'd get a clear vinyl applied aftermarket.
