Automobile Rust Prevention

     Aside from Maple Syrup, Vermont is known for our long snowy winters, and for Vermont vehicles that means one thing - rust. The 4x4 Center can take care of rust repairs but, it is always best to get ahead of the rust before it starts. This is where the Rust Prevention Experts at The 4x4 Center excel. To give you an idea of the type of work we do, and how we do it, here are some of the big questions we get regularly -

 

How can I protect my undercarriage from rust with all the salt on these roads?

     The 4x4 Center offers a "Fluid Film" process where we undercoat your vehicle. Fluid Film is created using a very intricate heating and blending process that combines wool wax with selective polar agents and rust inhibitors. This creates a very unique lanolin-based formula that slows existing rust on contact. As the film penetrates existing rust it creates a fluid, self-healing, barrier that stays active and does not chip or crack, protecting your undercoating and exposed metals for an extended period of time. Safe for use on all metals, it doesn't hurt your paint or plastics and provided additional lubrication for all your vehicles moving parts. Fluid Film is best applied in the fall, before winter arrives, and our rates start at $150 for small cars and go up to $200+ for large and extra large vehicles. For $150/year, you can't beat this kind of protection!

 

Preventing rust on newly installed products

     A lot of what we do includes upgrading vehicles - whether the shocks in your vehicle are worn out, or if lifting you're installing a new lift kit, you are upgrading your vehicle with new parts that you expect to last a long time. The reality is, mother nature and the salt on the roads have a different plan for those parts.. Before your installation, ask about our Rust Prevention Services!
