UnderCover UnderCoaters

UnderCover UnderCoaters is a mobile vehicle undercoating service that comes to the customer’s location instead of requiring a trip to a service center. The crew applies WoolWax, a lanolin-based undercoating, to protect frames, brake lines, fuel tanks, control arms and other underbody parts from rust. The company stresses that it never rushes a job, and it publishes straightforward pricing by vehicle size with no hidden fees.

Road treatments such as salt, calcium chloride and magnesium chloride speed up corrosion, and the company’s pitch is that many vehicles with healthy engines and transmissions are taken off the road because of rusted-out frames. Service covers cars, pickups, SUVs and heavy-duty trucks, with optional rust scraping and a black finish for visible parts. UnderCover UnderCoaters operates through locations in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Indiana and Ohio, and it is recruiting new franchisees.
