Corrosion Repairs
Corrosion Repairs
Rust doesn't stand still, and in Auckland's coastal environment, it spreads faster than you'd think. We carry out proper rust repairs—cutting and welding, not just filler and paint—because covering up corrosion without removing it is a short-term fix that always makes things worse.
About this service
Proper Repairs vs Patch Jobs
A proper corrosion repair means cutting out the affected metal completely, treating the surrounding area, and welding in new metal. Patch jobs just apply filler over the rust, which might look fine for a few months but allows the rust to keep spreading underneath. We do it properly the first time.
WOF Rust Failures
Common WOF rust failures include sills, wheel arch lips, seatbelt anchorage points, and chassis rails. If your vehicle has failed its WOF for rust, we repair the structural points properly so your vehicle passes the re-check safely.
Comprehensive Rust Treatment
Corrosion can appear anywhere, including places hard to spot until the damage is significant. Our team carries out rust repairs across all body and panel areas. Catching and treating it early is always more cost-effective than waiting until replacement is the only option.
Underbody Sealing
The underside of your vehicle takes the most punishment from grit, water, and salt air. Underbody sealing applies a tough protective coating to dramatically slow the rate of rust formation. It's one of the best long-term investments for keeping your car solid.
