As winter weather picks up in intensity, so too will the quantity of salt and brine used to keep our Pittsburgh roads clear of ice and snow. And while those substances are great for ensuring the safety of our roads, they also do a number on the underside of your vehicle. With salt comes accelerated corrosion and rust on everything from your exhaust and suspension components to the body and frame of your vehicle. Undercoating services from Bowser Subaru can help protect your vehicle against this extreme corrosion, so you can drive with confidence this winter.
What is Undercoating?
Undercoating is a fluid substance that coats the components on the underside of your vehicle. It is a captive layer that prevents salt water from contacting the parts and panels under your vehicle, so the salt never has a chance to begin oxidizing or rusting coated components. It is a liquid shield that sticks to your vehicle after being sprayed on, and acts as a buffer against the harsh road salts and brines you’ll encounter all winter long.
Why Undercoating is the Right Choice
While for some it might be easy to stay home when the roads are snowy and salted, many have no choice but to get out there and run errands, go to work, and take the kids to school. That means your vehicle is being tracked through these harsh chemicals on a near daily basis, accelerating rust and corrosion and shortening the viable lifespan of your vehicle. Non-coated vehicles that are driven daily can start seeing rust and corrosion within the first three to four years in some cases. Undercoating helps reduce the risk of driving in winter, by preventing these harsh chemicals from reaching the underside of your vehicle.
