I’ve been dealing with some rust issues on my Chevrolet truck, and I’m starting to get worried that it might lead to bigger problems down the road. I know I need to get it fixed soon, but I’m not sure where to start looking for the right service.

What I Need Help With:

  • Rust Damage Assessment: I want to know how to identify the extent of the rust damage myself, if possible.
  • Local Recommendations: Are there any reputable body shops or mechanics that specialize in rust repair for Chevrolet trucks in my area?
  • Cost Estimates: What might I expect to pay for rust repair? Are there specific services you’ve found more useful than others?

Additional Information:

  • My truck is a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado, and I’ve noticed rust starting to form on the rear wheel wells and undercarriage.
  • I prefer to go somewhere local for convenience, as I would like to check the work being done and possibly use them for future maintenance.

Any Tips?

  • If anyone has had experiences they want to share, whether good or bad, please let me know! I would appreciate any advice or recommendations on how to tackle this issue effectively.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! I’m looking forward to getting my truck back in top shape.

Sounds like RustBusters is a solid option! I went to Rust Repair Pros last month, and they were also fantastic. Quick turnaround and friendly staff!

I’ve heard mixed reviews about Rust Repair Pros. Some friends loved them, but I had a weird experience where they took longer than promised. Just be cautious.

Hmm, that’s interesting. I wonder if it depends on the specific technician you get. At least they did a great job for me, unlike the place I went to before!

I used a local guy named Mike who works out of his garage. He did a stellar job, and his prices are hard to beat. Anyone else try local shops?

That’s great to hear! Sometimes the smaller shops really do amazing work. What’s his contact info?

Mike’s number is 555-0123! He really knows his stuff. But be aware that he gets busy, so plan ahead.

Just a heads up, I called Mike, and he was booked for weeks. Guess that’s a good sign, though! Anyone found great places with shorter wait times?

I’ve had good luck with AAA Rust Repair. They got me in within a week and did solid work!

I’ve always thought body shops stress more about shiny paint than rust! How do we find a trusted place that focuses on rust repair specifically?

13

That’s a good question! It takes some research. I ended up checking reviews on local forums and Facebook groups.

Facebook groups can be wild, but that sounds like a solid idea, Bonnie! Just be cautious with all the opinions out there.

My truck was rust-free until I went on a fishing trip… now I need to catch a good rust repair shop instead of fish! Any luck with any in the city?

Haha, I get that! I’d try RustBusters or AAA Rust Repair. Did wonders for my truck!

Both of those places seem to be getting great recommendations! I’ll be checking them out soon. Let’s keep this thread going with new experiences!

Hey everyone! I’m also looking for advice on truck rust repair. I’ve seen some DIY videos but would love more tips. What tools do I really need?

For starters, you’ll need a good angle grinder with a rust removal disc. Also, some sandpaper and rust-inhibiting primer are essential for the job!

Definitely worth investing in a good rust converter too! It’s a game changer. Just remember to wear gloves and a mask when working.
