Question 1

When should I get Rust Check in Ajax?

Accepted Answer

Fall is the right window. September through November, before the first heavy salt application of the season. Lakeshore Ajax vehicles benefit from the fall application because the oil film is in place before brine gets layered on through winter. The calendar fills up that window every year.

Question 2

Is there a Rust Check dealer in Ajax?

Accepted Answer

No. We are 25 minutes east on the 401, the closest licensed Rust Check dealer for every Ajax address. Going west into Toronto adds significantly more drive time and traffic.

Question 3

How much does Rust Check cost?

Accepted Answer

Two-step Rust Check starts at $140 for cars and scales up by vehicle size. Trucks and larger SUVs run $160 to $200. Standalone dripless undercoat without the penetrating drip is available from $80 for cars. The Coat & Protect undercoat is included free with every full Rust Check.

Question 4

Why use oil-based undercoat on a lakeshore vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Lake-area vehicles deal with constant salt-air humidity, not just seasonal road salt. Rubberized undercoatings can crack and trap that moisture against the metal, accelerating the very corrosion they are supposed to prevent. Our oil-based Coat & Protect stays wet on the metal year-round, displacing moisture and self-healing minor damage. We do not offer rubberized undercoating in our shop because we have watched what it does to vehicles in Ontario over fifteen years.

Question 5

Will Rust Check drip on my driveway?

Accepted Answer

The penetrating drip formula does drip lightly for one to three days after application. We recommend parking on the street or using a tarp during that window. The Coat & Protect undercoat is dripless and stays where it is applied.

Question 6

What Ajax neighborhoods do you serve?

Accepted Answer

All of Ajax. Pickering Beach, south Ajax, central Ajax, north Ajax, Riverside, Westney Heights, Greenwood, Audley, Carruthers Creek, the lakeshore area, and the Bayly St corridor. Most customers drop off at the shop on Baseline Rd E, 25 minutes east on the 401.
