Underbody treatment and protection in Tvrdošín
Winters in Orava are long, and the roads are salted from November to April. Salt and moisture are the worst thing for an underbody – sills, brake lines and load-bearing parts all rust. Proper underbody sealing adds years to a car’s life and saves you costly repairs.
What an underbody treatment includes
-
Washing and drying
We remove mud, salt and old deposits from the underbody.
-
Condition check
We look for rust, damaged coating, corroded brake lines and joints, and tell you about them.
-
Rust treatment
We clean and treat surface corrosion so that it stops spreading.
-
Underbody sealing
We spray the underbody with a protective coating.
-
Masking brakes, exhaust and belts
We cover them while spraying, so the coating does not end up where it should not.
Why underbody sealing pays off
-
A longer life for your car Load-bearing parts and sills do not rust through.

When to have the underbody treated
-

After winter We recommend washing and checking the underbody, and touching up the coating where needed.
-

Underbody protection for vans and motorhomes
Vans are on the road all year in every weather, while motorhomes often stand still – both help rust along. We treat the underbodies of vans and motorhomes just as thoroughly as those of cars.
Frequently asked questions about underbody sealing
Is it worth treating a car that is already rusting?
Yes – we clean and treat the surface rust, and the coating stops it from spreading. Parts that have rusted through, however, must be repaired or replaced first.
When is the best time to treat the underbody?
In autumn, when it is dry and the temperature is above 10 °C, so that the coating adheres and cures well.
Do you treat new cars as well?
Yes, and it is the best time – the underbody is clean and rust-free, and the protection lasts longest.
