A Picture Of A Vehicle Being Undercoated

Undercoating is a thick water tight sealant mixed with rust inhibitors which is sprayed to the frame and floor boards of a vehicle. We are careful not to undercoat the exhaust, drive train and other mechanical items as the undercoat can interfere with their operation.

Undercoat usually takes a few hours to become tacky allowing the vehicle to leave our shop and be driven for light use. Within 24 to 48 hours the undercoat will be fully cured allowing the vehicle to be used in rain, salt, sand and gravel. Undercoating not only protects the underside of your vehicle from road debris, salt, rust and corrosion. But it also reduces road noise by up to 50%.

Undercoating can be purchased with a Life Time Warranty which means you'll never have to worry about corrosion. And if any undercoating peels off we'll repair if free of charge.

Clean Car More Fuel Efficient?

In 2002, an engineer named Tom Wagner Jr., in an article on money saving tips, reported improved fuel efficiency after giving his car a scrub down. Myth Busters scored a point for the enterprizing engineer by proving that the only money you'll save motoring around in a dirty car is quarters at the car wash. Visit Myth Busters Web Site to read the article.

Ever Thought About Where The Dirt Goes?


10,000lbs of road grim, from 25,000 cars!
That means almost 1/3 of a pound of dirt comes off each car washed.
If every resident of White Rock and South Surrey washed their car at home in one month four times this much waste would go staight into the sewer system.

Salt, Winter and your Vehicle

Salt, Sand, and Grime

Winter is quickly approaching and that means holidays, ski trips and dirty roads. As the forecast is for one of the coldest winters on record, your vehicle will be punished by salt, sand, and rocks. It is very hard to keep your car clean in the winter due to the constant salting of roads and wet conditions not to mention, it’s too cold.

It is important to remember to wash your vehicle often in the winter months. The road salt and sand will get into everything including body work, suspension parts, door hinges, the engine bay and more. If you regularly run your car through a high pressure wash with an under carriage blaster you’ll rinse all this debris from these vital components and protect them from rust and wear.  Not only will your vehicle’s finish look better and last longer, you’ll have less repair bills down the road.
