Friendly service and they even fit me in ahead of time. Thoroughly coated my vehicle with rust check. Highly recommended. Protect your investment!
Jeep rust is a well-documented problem, especially on older Wranglers where frame rust is a common failure point. The body-on-frame construction, exposed tub, and numerous door and floor cavities make them particularly vulnerable. Annual Rust Check treatment (Jeep rust proofing in everyday terms) reaches the hidden sections that rust attacks first, and stops it before it becomes structural.
Jeep Wranglers are among the most rust-prone vehicles on the road. The exposed body-on-frame construction, stamped metal tub, and numerous hidden cavities in the doors, rocker panels, and floor create ideal conditions for corrosion. Off-road use compounds this by introducing mud and moisture into areas that rarely see a thorough wash. Annual Rust Check treatment is the most practical prevention available. The penetrating oil formula displaces water from every seam and joint, and the Coat & Protect undercoat provides continuous coverage over the frame rails, crossmembers, and skid plates. For Cherokee and Grand Cherokee unibody models, the door cavities, sill sections, and lower body are the primary treatment targets.
Jeep Rust Check from $150 (2-door) to $190 (Gladiator). Undercoat included.
Wrangler uses a body-on-frame construction with an exposed steel frame and an exposed steel tub above it. Both elements sit in the salt-spray zone every Ontario winter. The frame on older Wrangler generations (TJ 1997-2006 and JK 2007-2018 specifically) has a documented rust pattern around the rear control-arm mount and the rear shock-tower areas. Stellantis has issued recalls and extended warranties on certain affected components. We are not raising this to disparage Jeep. We raise it because if you own a TJ or JK Wrangler in Ontario, the frame rear-section is one of the highest-priority Rust Check targets on your vehicle. Annual oil-based Step 2 Coat & Protect on the frame, control-arm mounts, and shock towers is the most cost-effective way to slow further progression. Newer JL Wrangler (2018+) has improved corrosion resistance, but Ontario road salt still corrodes any frame metal regardless of model year.
Cherokee and Grand Cherokee are unibody construction (no body-on-frame), which means the frame and body are integrated into one structural unit. This changes the rust pattern. There is no exposed frame to rust through the way a Wrangler frame can. Instead, rust starts in the same places as on any other unibody SUV: inside doors, inside rocker panels, inside rear quarter panels, around the rear hatch lower lip, and in structural seams underneath. Cherokee and Grand Cherokee subframe and rear-trailing-arm mounting points get attention during Step 2 Coat & Protect because they are stressed steel components in the salt-spray zone. The pricing and process are similar to a 5-seat or 7-seat SUV on the same generation.
Off-road use compounds the corrosion problem on every Jeep, especially Wrangler and Gladiator. Trail mud carries water, organic matter, and (in Ontario, year-round depending on trail) road salt residue from the drive to the trailhead. That mud packs into door hinges, body-seam pinch welds, control-arm mounts, the underside of every fender, and the inside of the rocker panels through any drainage. After the mud dries it stays in those locations as a wet-salt source for the next several rain events. Standard exterior wash does not remove all of it. Annual Rust Check Step 1 oil flows through the door cavities and rocker panels and displaces the moisture that dried mud carries. Step 2 Coat & Protect coats the underbody so any salt-laden water that does reach the metal beads off rather than soaking into bare steel. We give every off-road-used Jeep a careful underbody inspection at every annual visit.

Been taking my Tacoma here for 3 years now, would recommend. Very liberal and thorough with oil not missing anything. Flexible guy and easy to book with. Got 2 vehicles done back to back this year and will be back next year.
I had my first rust check done recently with my newly acquired Lexus. The service was fantastic and everyone there is so friendly and knowledgeable. I will continue to use Rust Check yearly so my beautiful car will last! I also recommend their detailing service, they do a flawless job every time.
We recently had our Buick interior detailed and a rust check undercoating completed and we are more than pleased with the service. For a small fee, they even picked up the SUV and brought it back. Staff are very pleasant to deal with. Excellent service!
