What is Undercoating?




What is Undercoating?

Having grown up in Vermont spending a lot of time at my father's auto body shop in Barre, Vermont (the predecessor to Ayer Auto, Inc.), I quickly learned two things: 1) the damage that New England winters cause to vehicles; and 2) the importance of applying high quality undercoating products to one's vehicle.  As vehicle purchases are often the largest expenditure consumers make, it is financially wise to protect that investment by taking the time to have a highly trained and experienced technician, properly and fully undercoat your vehicle.  This is done with the goal of combating the rust and corrosion that so quickly destroys vehicles.  For my friends in warm weather states, undercoating is equally effective and worth considering, as it provides protection to the vehicle from all types of moisture, dirt, sand, and debris, encountered both on and off road.
                                                                              

Undercoating is sometimes confused with rustproofing.  Undercoating is focused on the underside and chassis of a vehicle, while rustproofing focuses on spraying protective wax to areas of the vehicle that are vulnerable to chipping and the accumulation of moisture that can lead to rust and corrosion.  Depending upon one's particular driving pattern and situation, undercoating and rustproofing often go hand in hand and are both highly recommended.  

At Ayer Auto Body, we are proud to be one of only four authorized shops in the state to utilize the high quality products from Noxudol.  I encourage everyone to call our knowledgeable staff and learn how we can help you protect your vehicle and keep it running for many years to come, no matter what Mother Nature may bring.  When you buy your next vehicle at Ayer Auto Sales, we can also conveniently arrange to undercoat your pre-owned vehicle before you take it home.
