Rust-proofing Although new cars no longer need it and some automakers will void the factory corrosion-perforation warranty if the car is undercoated by a third-party, this hasn't stopped some dealerships from promoting undercoating as a dealer option, says Mike Quincy, auto content specialist at the Consumer Reports Auto Test Center in East Haddam, Conn. "Cars leaving the factories today all have excellent rust-proofing," Quincy says. "(Dealers) have an incentive to do it because there's a fair amount of markup they can get on these services," he says. Dealer-applied undercoating can range from $200 to $1,200, depending on the car, the type of treatment package (basic or premium), and whether it includes an extra option, such as sound-deadening.

He's full of ****. When I hauled Cars, I saw the underside of EVERYTHING that the Big 3 produce. The Jeep WJ is the WORST undercoated vehicle made. I swear the guy who was on the left side of the pit NEVER hit that vehicle with ANY undercoating....EVER. The PT Cruiser looked like it was constructed with undercoating. There was so much of it, it looked inches thick. The Vette had NONE at all !!! |
