At Preston MOT & Garage, we understand that your vehicle is more than just a mode of transportation; it is a significant investment that deserves only the best care and maintenance. Over time, various factors, such as exposure to salt, water, and humid conditions, can cause unsightly rust on your vehicle. Left unattended, this corrosion can eat into your car's body, significantly reducing its value and potentially compromising its structural integrity. Our rust repair service is designed to address this problem head-on, offering an effective solution to keep your vehicle looking its best and performing safely for many years.
Rust repair is a specialised service that requires a keen eye, in-depth knowledge, and professional skills. At Preston MOT & Garage, our trained and certified technicians are equipped with state-of-the-art tools and use industry-leading techniques to handle rust-related issues on all vehicle makes and models. From minor surface rust to severe cases that require metal replacement, we provide comprehensive rust repair services tailored to meet your vehicle's specific needs.
Our Rust Repair Process
Our rust repair process begins with thoroughly inspecting your vehicle to identify all areas affected by rust. This involves looking beyond the apparent surface rust to detect any hidden signs of corrosion that might compromise the structural integrity of your vehicle.
Upon identifying the areas of concern, our technicians carefully remove the rusted sections. In cases where rust has penetrated the metal, we perform professional metal replacement to restore the strength of your vehicle's bodywork.
Surface Rust Repair
Surface rust is typically the earliest stage of rusting, where the corrosion is only on the vehicle’s surface and has not yet affected the underlying metal. Our technicians utilise sanding techniques to remove the surface rust, then prime and repaint the area to match the existing finish of your vehicle.
Scale Rust Repair
Scale rust forms when surface rust is left untreated, and the corrosion begins to pit and scale the metal. This requires a more intensive approach involving grinding the affected area or using a rust converter to neutralise the corrosion. Once the rust is addressed, we seal the surface, prime it, and apply high-quality paint to match the rest of your vehicle.
Penetrating Rust Repair
Penetrating rust occurs when rust has thoroughly permeated the metal, causing it to become thin and brittle. In such cases, our technicians may need to cut out and replace the affected metal sections to restore the vehicle's structural integrity. This process involves using professional welding techniques to ensure a seamless fit and finish.
Preventative Measures
In addition to rust repair, Preston MOT & Garage also offers preventative treatments to protect your vehicle from future rusting. This involves applying a rustproofing sealant to your car’s underbody, thus shielding the vulnerable areas from the damaging effects of moisture, salt, and other corrosive elements.
Professional Paint Matching
Post-rust repair, we understand the need for the repaired areas to match the rest of your vehicle. Our professional paint matching services ensure that the new paint perfectly fits your car’s existing colour and finish, offering a seamless look that maintains your vehicle's aesthetic appeal.
