“John, you are our highway Angel. Driving from NB to SK, we got failed alternator. You took the repair with a friendly gesture and a big smile; You had scarified your sleep to fix /replace our Tusson ‘s alternator so we could get back on the road at 5am safely.
We highly recommend your great , honest services!”

“Friendly and great service. A little overspray mist on the exterior of my truck but that tells me they went to town underneath and a quick look confirms it. Great coverage”

What Causes Vehicle Rust in Canada

Road salt (calcium chloride and sodium chloride) attacking bare metal
Moisture trapped in crevices, door panels, and wheel wells
Stone chips exposing bare metal underneath the paint
Drainage holes clogged with debris allowing standing water
Older vehicles with thinner factory undercoating wearing away
Winter driving requiring constant exposure to salt brine and sand

Signs Your Vehicle Needs Rust Protection

Bubbling paint on wheel arches, rocker panels, or door bottoms
Visible surface rust on the frame, subframe, or suspension components
Rust-through holes forming on body panels or the floor
Brown stains around panel seams and weld joints
Crumbling undercoating that no longer provides protection
Body panels that feel soft or thin when pressed

Rust Proofing & Protection Services Available

Annual oil spray that creeps into seams and crevices

Rust Proofing & Protection Tips

Apply rust proofing annually before winter for maximum protection
Wash your vehicle's underbody frequently during salt season
Don't wait until you see rust—prevention is far cheaper than repair
Oil-based sprays are generally considered most effective for Canadian conditions
New vehicles should be rust-proofed immediately—factory protection is minimal
Keep drainage holes in your doors and rocker panels clear of debris

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does rust proofing cost in Thunder Bay? +
Annual oil spray rust proofing costs $120-$180 for cars and $150-$220 for trucks and SUVs. One-time rubberized undercoating costs $300-$600. Electronic modules start at $400-$600 installed.
Is rust proofing worth it on a new car? +
Absolutely. Factory corrosion protection is minimal, especially on the frame and subframe. An annual oil spray starting from year one significantly extends the vehicle's structural life in Canadian climates.
Which type of rust proofing is best? +
Oil-based annual sprays (like Krown or Rust Check) are widely considered the most effective for Canadian conditions because they penetrate into seams, crevices, and hard-to-reach areas that rubberized coatings miss.
Can you rust-proof a car that already has rust? +
Yes, but existing rust should be treated with a rust converter first. Rust proofing will then slow further progression, but it cannot reverse damage that has already occurred.
