| Anyone know of any good quality places to get rust proofing? Believe it or not but the Acura dealer charges $800 and my friend actually knows the shop that does the rust proofing for them and it's only $250! So before I bring my car in... thought I'll throw it out there to see if anyone has other recommendations. |

| You have to be kidding me , $250 for rust proofing? somones getting ripped off. Every place I went to that did a good job did it for $100. My BMW mechanic who has a very good rep does rust proofing,oil change and all fluids changed for $180. |

best place is krown rustproofing hands down.
and only reason dealer charges so much for rustproofing is because you get a no rust warranty.
other than that the labour and shop supplies cost them 70 dollars. |

Hmmm... sounds too good to be true. Do you have to redo it every year or two? And yes, pls share where this place is. |

There's the dripless oil spray rustproofing, and it goes as low at 70 bucks/yr. Even Walmart offers it.
The rustproofing done at the dealer is a one-shot deal. |

| No need to rustproof BMWs that are 1999+. Not sure about Acuras and Lexuses, though, I would think you're safe with both that are 2003+ as long as you wash regularly, including the wheel wells (just spray, with soap-wipe around the lip as I always did). |

Its RMP motors in Bolton. Number is 905-951-0002, his name is Rocco.
Just ask for the rust proofing deal, thats if they still have it... Even tho i think theres really no point in rust proofing now, winters done in 2 months pretty much.

Why wouldnt you need to?? I have a freind who has a 2002 bmw and its already started to show a little rust cuz the previous owner never did rust proofing. Every car needs to be rust proofed, unless its like a corvette which is all fiberclass pretty much. |

| New(er) cars are rustproof, manufacturers have already treated them. I'm sure a luxury brand like Acura have pre-treated their cars... let me ask my fellow co-workers about this;) :gsmile: |
