Please don't be this person. A sad fact that everyone should realize is that Vehicles begin to rust and corrode while they're still on the factory floor. If I tried to recall every vehicle that I have undercoated and rustproofed that had less than 200 miles on the odometer and had surface rust already formed on the driveshafts, power steering pumps(especially), and other components, I'd be doing it all day long. Corrosion tens to hide out of sight and out of mind until start to see the bubbling, which is a clear indicator of a much larger, hidden corrosion issue. We live in the Rust Belt folks, getting your vehicle treated for corrosion is a no-brainer that ought to come as second nature to car buyers living here. Check us out on Google, Facebook, and always at www.midwest-rust.com.

I AM FUMING. I took my car in for a simple oil change yesterday at the dealership and I get it back looking like this! The stupid mechanic tried to tell me it is long term rust from road salt and that the metal is rotting away. Rotting?! My car was perfectly fine when I dropped it off! They clearly spilled some kind of crazy acid chemical on it and are trying to cover up their gross incompetence. I am calling my lawyer and suing them for property damage because I know for a fact this happened in their garage while they had it. Am I overreacting for demanding they buy me a brand new vehicle to replace this ruined one??

Shout out to Joshua Nelson for bringing in his 2026 Toyota Tacoma all the way down from Fargo, ND to get rustproofed and undercoated with Woolwax Automotive Undercoating. Immediately after purchasing this truck, Josh scheduled an appointment on our website, wanting to get his investment protected ASAP from corrosion caused by our rough winters and accelerated by the salt and brine that all our states dump across the roadways. We made sure to generously treat inside of every cavity and nook including the rockers, frame rails, cross members, doors, hood, tailgate, fender wells, and much more. We also make sure to treat all lock assemblies and hinge points since Woolwax is also an amazing penetrant and lubricant, keeping frozen latches and squeaks to a minimum. Our entire process took only a few hours to complete, but now Josh can drive back home to the foot or two of accumulated snow waiting for him without any worry. If you or someone you know is interested in keeping rust from destroying your investments, then check out our website at www.midwest-rust.com for scheduling and more information. We are open 7 days a week, by appointment only, and can be easily reached at 605-418-8355. Book today for a rust-free tomorrow!

Shout out to Steve Clark for bringing in his wife's 2013 Ram 1500 Bighorn to get rustproofed and undercoated with Woolwax Automotive Undercoating. Since there was a large tear in the corner of the tonneau cover, Steve asked if we could replace it with a brand-new one he had previously purchased but hadn't found the free time to do himself, which of course we agreed. At Midwest Rust Prevention we not only excel at erasing corrosion, we also take time to accommodate customer requests to the very best of our abilities. After we cleaned out the frame rails, doors, rockers, and cross-members of loose debris and dirt, we made sure to needle-scale away all areas where rust had been getting thick and worrisome. Once removed, we apply generous amounts of rust-killing/inhibiting products before finally treating the entire underbody and inside all plugged compartments with Original Woolwax. Interested in protecting your investment from the destruction caused by salt and brine this winter? Then give us a call at 605-418-8355 or easily schedule your appointment online, anytime at www.midwest-rust.com today! Open 7 days-a-week, 9am-7pm. Book today for a rust-free tomorrow!!

Shout out to Carl Lang for bringing in his recently purchased 2017 Toyota Tundra Platinum to get undercoated and rustproofed with Woolwax Auto Undercoating. We stop rust, even during snow storms! Once on the lift, we clean out all debris from the frame, rockers, doors, and more. We make doubly sure that the C-channel frame does not harbor any trapped mud that'll get saturated with the salt and brine on our roads. We needle-scaled away all rust deposits before applying powerful rust inhibitors to the vehicle's underside and hard-to-reach areas. Lastly, we noticed how rusty the tow hitch was and refreshed the paint. Carl can now drive in our upcoming weather without worry. Remember, it's never too late to stop rust from getting worse. Protect your investment, bring your vehicle into the best. Check out our website at www.midwest-rust.com or give us a call at 605-418-8355. Book today for a rust-free tomorrow!!

Shout out to BJ Hunhoff of AB Custom Construction LLC for dropping off his brand-new 2026 Ram 2500HD Bighorn Longbox to get meticulously rustproofed and thoroughly undercoated with Woolwax Auto Undercoating. BJ wanted to get this new addition to his fleet protected as soon as he could, as this workhorse had only 416 mi on the odometer. Unfortunately, even being "Fresh Off The Factory Floor", these new model-year vehicles already come with surface rust pre-installed, which is primarily hiding behind all the freshly painted welds throughout the frame rails, steering rods, and suspension components. We start off by using a road salt neutralizer to eliminate all salt and brine deposits that cloud most of this trucks underbody. Then, after a quick wire-wheeling of the compromised painted areas, we apply Permatex Rust Treatment to convert those rusty spots to black magnetite. Once the conversion is complete, Woolwax is applied to all ferrous and non-ferrous metals from every angle and inside every nook. Lastly, we wipe any overspray from all plastics, exhaust components, and windows, ensuring a crisp, clean look directly from our hands to yours. Don't let the snowy weathers stop you from protecting your investment from rust and corrosion! Book your appointment today at www.midwest-rust.com or give us a call at 605-418-8355. We are open year-round, Mon-Sun 9am-7pm. Book today for a rust-free tomorrow!

Shout out to Heather Rios for making it in during a wicked snowstorm to get her 2023 Ford Mustang rustproofed and undercoated with Woolwax Auto Undercoating. We were able to take our time with this beast since Heather had to get home ASAP and the roads proved too hazardous to attempt in a rear-wheeled vehicle. We gave her a ride home with the assurance that her Mustang was completely safe and secure overnight and would receive the best care. After we treated the underbody and rustproofed all the nooks n' crannies, we made a few minor repairs on pre-existing issues and replaced a few missing body plugs. When the roads were finally safe to drive on the next morning , Heather had her rumbling rod delivered to her home free of charge. I thank you again for you're patience and flexibility under the circumstances. If you are interested in quality rustproofing, no matter the weather, then book your appointment at www.midwest-rust.com or give us a call at 605-418-8355. Open 7-days a week, 9am-7pm. Book today for a rust-free tomorrow!! (*All vehicles are pre-treated with a powerful road salt neutralizer prior to any work perfomed.)

These are too good not to share...

I would like to thank everyone who's been booking and getting their vehicles protected recently. We have been so busy, I haven't been able to take photos of most of the vehicles in the last couple weeks. Getting the vehicles treated correctly and getting everybody taken care of in a timely fashion takes precedence over advertising. Not to worry though, more proof in the pudding will be posted soon! And remember folks, we are open year round no matter the weather. Now that the salt trucks have hit the roads, all vehicles get pre-treated with road salt neutralizer before the real work begins. I would ask that my clients who had their vehicles done recently, please leave your feedback under the review section so that way other folks can understand what they'll be getting themselves into. My family and I thank you for all of your continued support! Book today for a rust-free tomorrow!!

Shout out to Todd Reiff for bringing his gorgeous 2017 Ram 1500 to get protected for the 3rd, or 5th year using Woolwax Auto Undercoating. Todd is a gentleman that is very protective and particular about his vehicles, as he should be. This is why he is just one of many clients that have transitioned with me from Dakota to Midwest Rust Prevention, knowing the quality of work and all-around care cannot be compared. I truly wish I had the time to post all of the similar interactions that I have with customers. Looking to protect your vehicle from salt and brine that plague our roadways every winter? Does attention to detail matter as much to you as great customer service? Do you want the job done correctly and thoroughly the first time, every time? Then check out our website at www.midwest-rust.com to schedule your rustproofing appointment. Questions? Give us a call at 605-418-8355. Book today for a rust-free tomorrow!!
