How long is a work truck off the road for rust proofing?

About an hour for a pickup, a little longer for a heavy-duty truck with a service body. Wait for it or use the key drop box.

Can you do several trucks at once?

Yes. We can do two to five back to back in one morning or spread them through the week. Five or more get the fleet deal and are scheduled in blocks.

Do you rust proof a truck with a service body or utility bed?

Yes. The frame under a service body is exactly where the salt sits, so it gets the full treatment: rails, crossmembers, mounts and lines.

What does it cost per truck?

A single truck is priced by size, and a pickup or van gets the mid-size / full-size price. Several trucks are quoted per unit.

Do you offer an invoice or paperwork for the business?

Yes. Every job is invoiced to the business name, and multi-truck work is quoted in writing first.

How the morning runs

One truck is priced by size and booked for a time, any day from 9 AM to 10 PM. Two to five trucks go back to back in one morning, or spread through the week so only one is off the road at a time. Bigger jobs get one written quote per vehicle.

What rusts on a work truck

Not the paint. A truck that spends winter on salted county roads and nights outside rusts from the inside out, and most owners find out too late. We cover:

Frame rails and crossmembers under a service or utility body
Bed floors, tailgates and the bed panels behind the wheel wells
Rack and toolbox mounts, hitch receivers, brake and fuel lines
Rocker panels and cab corners on crew cabs

Five or more: the fleet deal

Fleet deal: five-vehicle minimum, the sixth vehicle is free. Commercial vehicles are quoted per unit. Tell us what you run and how many through the quote form, and we'll send your quote, usually the same day.

Every fall, before the salt

The cheapest year to do a work truck is its first. After that it's the annual touch-up, ideally late summer or early fall, before the salt trucks go out. We keep a record of what was done and when, so next year is just a text.
