Every undercoating job starts with a thorough inspection of your vehicle's undercarriage. We identify existing rust, vulnerable areas, and any pre-existing damage before recommending the right protection package.
We clean and degrease the entire undercarriage to ensure maximum adhesion. Loose rust and debris are removed so the coating bonds directly to clean metal for long-lasting protection.
Using professional-grade spray equipment, we apply Woolwax or 3M Rubberized undercoating to every exposed surface. Our technicians ensure complete coverage including hard-to-reach areas like frame rails, wheel wells, and rocker panels.
After application, we inspect the entire undercarriage to verify complete coverage. We document the work with photos and provide care instructions so you know exactly how to maintain your vehicle's protection.
Woolwax Lanolin-Based Undercoating is a premium, all-natural product made from refined sheep's wool grease. It penetrates deep into seams, crevices, and existing rust to stop corrosion from the inside out. Woolwax remains flexible year-round and never cracks or chips. Ideal for daily drivers and vehicles already showing early signs of rust. Starting at $249 for cars and $349 for trucks and SUVs.
3M Rubberized Undercoating creates a thick, durable rubber barrier that shields against road salt, gravel, and moisture. It dries to a tough, abrasion-resistant finish that provides excellent sound deadening in addition to rust protection. Best for new vehicles and owners who want maximum physical protection. Starting at $199 for cars and $299 for trucks and SUVs.
Calgary's climate is one of the harshest in Canada for vehicles. Winter road salt, magnesium chloride, and gravel create a corrosive environment that attacks exposed metal surfaces. The freeze-thaw cycle forces moisture into every crack and seam, accelerating rust from the inside out. Without professional undercoating, most vehicles in Calgary show significant undercarriage rust within 3-5 years.
Professional undercoating creates a protective barrier that extends the life of your vehicle and preserves its resale value. Whether you drive a new truck or a daily commuter, undercoating is the most cost-effective way to protect your investment against Calgary's harsh conditions.
How often should I get my vehicle undercoated in Calgary?
For Woolwax lanolin-based undercoating, we recommend annual reapplication to maintain maximum protection. 3M Rubberized undercoating typically lasts 2-3 years depending on driving conditions and road salt exposure.
Can you undercoat a vehicle that already has rust?
Yes. Woolwax is specifically designed to penetrate existing rust and stop further corrosion. For vehicles with heavy rust, we may recommend rust treatment before applying 3M Rubberized coating. Our technicians will assess your vehicle and recommend the best approach.
How long does the undercoating process take?
Most vehicles are completed in 1-2 hours. Larger trucks and SUVs may take up to 3 hours depending on the package selected. We recommend booking an appointment to minimize wait times.
Is undercoating worth it for a new vehicle?
Absolutely. Applying undercoating to a new vehicle before any rust develops provides the best possible protection. It is far more cost-effective to prevent rust than to repair it. Most new vehicle warranties do not cover rust damage caused by road salt.
Do you offer undercoating at both Calgary locations?
Yes. We offer full undercoating services at both our South Calgary location near Chinook Centre and our Northeast Calgary location at Deerfoot City. Both locations carry Woolwax and 3M products.
What is the difference between undercoating and rustproofing?
Undercoating applies a protective coating to the vehicle's undercarriage to prevent rust. Rustproofing is a broader term that includes undercoating plus treatment of interior body panels, door sills, and other areas prone to corrosion. We offer both services.
