Friendly service and they even fit me in ahead of time. Thoroughly coated my vehicle with rust check. Highly recommended. Protect your investment!
RAM trucks have large frames and long wheelbases, which means more undercarriage surface area to protect. We apply the full two-step Rust Check process (also searched as RAM rust proofing or truck rust proofing) to all RAM configurations: penetrating drip formula into the cab and door cavities, Coat & Protect oil undercoat on the frame rails, crossmembers, and suspension. Undercoat is included at no extra charge.
RAM trucks have large, complex frames with numerous cavities that accumulate salt and moisture over an Ontario winter. The coil-spring rear suspension used on RAM 1500 models has more exposed components than a conventional leaf spring setup, making the undercoat step particularly important. On RAM 2500 and 3500 models used for heavy towing and payload work, the frame and suspension see additional stress that makes corrosion protection critical to long-term structural integrity. The Rust Check oil formula reaches every hidden cavity through factory holes or small access holes, and the Coat & Protect covers all exposed metal underneath. Annual treatment in fall is the most effective protection strategy.
RAM truck Rust Check from $180 (regular cab) to $200 (dually). Undercoat included.
There is a documented frame-rust pattern on certain older RAM 1500 generations (notably 2002-2008 and parts of the 2009-2018 DS/DJ generation depending on production region). Stellantis (formerly Chrysler) issued recalls on safety-critical components like steering linkage and tie-rods affected by frame rust. We are not raising this to disparage RAM. We raise it because if you own a RAM 1500 from one of these generations and you are in Ontario, the frame is one of the highest-priority Rust Check targets on your vehicle. Annual oil-based Step 2 Coat & Protect on the frame rails and crossmembers is the most cost-effective way to slow further rust progression on a vehicle that has already seen some exposure. Newer RAM 1500 generations (DT, 2019+) have improved corrosion resistance, but Ontario road salt still corrodes any frame metal regardless of model year.
RAM 1500 and HD models have brake lines routed in positions that get heavy salt-spray exposure, and the steel used in some generation brake lines has been a documented brake-line failure source on older RAMs. Brake-line rust is a safety issue, not a cosmetic one: a rusted-through brake line means brake fluid loss and degraded stopping performance. Step 2 Coat & Protect covers the brake lines at the same time as the frame, suspension, and exhaust hangers. Annual reapplication keeps the brake-line coating fresh and significantly reduces brake-line corrosion progression. RAM customers who have been with us annually since their truck was new are not the ones who come back with brake-line failure at year 8.
RAM 1500 has used a coil-spring rear suspension since the 2009 generation, which is a different setup than the leaf-spring rears on most other trucks. The coil-spring design has more exposed steel components (control arms, coil-spring perches, anti-roll bar links) than a leaf-spring design where most of the suspension is hidden inside the leaf-spring stack. More exposed steel means more salt-spray exposure and more surfaces that need annual Coat & Protect coverage. The application reaches every component on the rear suspension during the Step 2 underbody pass. RAM 2500 and 3500 still use leaf-spring rears like other heavy-duty trucks, so the rear-suspension coverage is more straightforward on those models.

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!
