Undercoating Your Vehicle: It's Cost Effective — And it WORKS!

Vehicle Undercoating from your friends at Ott’s Auto

Protect Your Vehicle This Winter And All-Year-Long With Undercoating

We all know that Canadian winters can be harsh and unforgiving. Between road salt, sand, slush, chemical de-icers, and moisture, the underside of your car is constantly under attack. Left untreated, these harsh conditions enables rust to spread unabated across brake lines, rocker panels, and the frame weakening the structure of your vehicle ultimately driving down its resale value and potentially creating safety issues.

Ott’s Auto offers professional, dripless, pleasant-smelling vehicle undercoating — that WORKS! Our anti-rust product sprays on evenly, dries quickly, and unlike traditional oil-based coatings, it won’t leave messy drips in your driveway. Even better — while other products can smell like harsh petroleum, ours is formulated with a light bubblegum scent that makes the experience surprisingly pleasant.

An annual undercoating creates a protective barrier that seals out salt and moisture, preventing rust and corrosion before it starts greatly extending the life of your vehicle.

At just $141 tax included * (for most sized vehicles), it’s one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your second-biggest investment to strengthen your car’s frame and

avoid expensive repairs down the road.

(*Longer body-length vehicles, some extended pickups and larger vans and trucks, understandably, could be accompanied by an additional cost for the extra product used.)

Key reasons to undercoat your vehicle:

   •        Shields against salt, sand, and moisture that cause rust.

   •        Protects brake lines, fuel lines, and suspension components.

   •        Extends the life of your car’s body and frame.

   •        Preserves resale value by keeping the underside solid.

   •        Saves money by preventing costly rust-related repairs.

   •        Dripless application — no oily mess left behind.

   •        Bubblegum scent — no harsh petroleum odor.

FAQ: Do I need undercoating every year?

For most vehicles, yes — annual undercoating is the best, most cost-effective way to keep rust from taking hold. Canadian winters are harsh and unforgiving. Road salt, sand, and slush attack your car’s frame, brake lines, and suspension every season.

That said, if you drive very little in the winter or keep your vehicle mostly in the garage, you may be able to stretch it to every second year.

For daily drivers, though, we recommend doing it every fall — or any time during spring or summer—for maximum protection and peace of mind.

At $141 tax included,* undercoating is inexpensive insurance against costly rust repairs and helps extend the life of your second-biggest investment — your car.

FAQ: How long does undercoating take?

The process is quick and convenient. Most vehicles can be completed in about an hour. You can drop your car off, grab a coffee, and come back to a vehicle that’s fully protected underneath.

FAQ: Will it make a mess in my driveway?

Not at Ott’s Auto. Our undercoating process is dripless. Unlike older oil-based coatings that can leave stains, ours sprays on clean, dries quickly, and won’t track into your driveway or garage.

FAQ: When can I come in and have my vehicle undercoated?

You can have your vehicle undercoated from early spring to late fall. A nice day without precipitation is really the best time when the underside of your vehicle is dry and very receptive to the anti-rust application.

FAQ: Does it Smell? YES — Like Bubble GUM

While many products can smell like gas or petroleum, Ott's is formulated with a light bubblegum scent. Customers are always pleasantly surprised — protection that works without the stink.
