Rustproofing 101: Service Basics And FAQ
What Is Involved In A Rustproofing Service?
After a quick inspection and entry point plan, we spray a protective coating onto rust-prone areas of your vehicle, which may include:
- Bottom and corners of doors
- Front and sides of the hood
- Bottom of the trunk
- Bottom fenders
- “Hollow zones” such as footboards
- Brake components
- Struts and shocks
- Wheel well
- Undercarriage, and more
Before your vehicle leaves the shop, we wash your vehicle with a special solution that gets rid of any excess residue, and then you are all set! Most services are finished within an hour or two, and local pick-up and drop-off is available if you don’t want to pass the time lounging in our waiting area.
Is It Necessary To Drill Into The Car Frame For Rust Proofing Services?
Drilling is often recommended to improve access and coverage, but it is not always required.
For example, with some vehicle manufacturers, like Volkswagen and Audi, drilling can void your perforation warranty. In cases such as these, we use factory entry points to maximize your coverage without any drilling.
If you are not sure whether drilling will void your warranty coverage, just ask our rust proofing experts in Brockville, ON.
When Is It Best To Invest In Rustproofing?
Rustproofing is always a good idea—it doesn’t matter whether you are buying used or brand-new, and there is really no such thing as “rustproofing season,” as summer rains, winter snow, and spring thaws all expose your vehicle to moisture that increases your risks of corrosion.
Is Rustproofing Messy? Will It Stain My Driveway?
No. Most of the excess product will drip away in the shop while your service is being completed, and we wash all vehicles before they leave the service bay. If you do notice any drips on your driveway after returning home, don’t worry—those will go away on their own, and our product is environmentally friendly.
Protect Your Investment: The Benefits Of Rustproofing Your Vehicle
- Boost resale value—Rust-free vehicles sell quicker and for more money than their corroded competition!
- Lower long-term repair costs—Rusted vehicles experience more maintenance issues and electrical component failures, the costs of which easily exceed the price of a rust proofing service.
- Improved vehicle safety and collision resilience—Rust seriously compromises your vehicle’s structural integrity, which makes your vehicle more prone to component failures and catastrophic damage after collisions and encounters with road hazards, even minor ones like potholes!
- Greater vehicle service life—Rust-free vehicles last longer, giving you greater return on your automotive investment.
- Eco-friendliness—Rust-free vehicles stay in service for longer and extend the life and recyclability of metal components.
