Rust Removal & Underbody Protection in Taunton

Professional rust removal & underbody protection in Taunton. MJ Auto Centre remove corrosion, apply protective coatings and help extend the life of cars, vans and light commercial vehicles.

Why rust removal & underbody protection matter

UK road conditions expose vehicle undersides to moisture, salt and debris — accelerating corrosion over time. If left untreated, rust can weaken structural components, spread into suspension and brake mounting points, and lead to MOT failures or expensive repairs.

Removing corrosion early and applying professional underbody protection helps maintain safety, structural integrity and long-term vehicle value.

Common signs your vehicle needs rust treatment

You may benefit from rust removal and protection if you notice:

• Visible rust or bubbling paint underneath the vehicle
  
  

• Flaking or rough metal on sills or wheel arches
  
  

• Corrosion forming on chassis rails or suspension mounts
  
  

• An older vehicle that has never had underbody protection
  
  

• Advisory or failure notes for corrosion on an MOT
  
  

Early-stage rust can often be treated before it spreads deeper into the metal.

Our rust removal & underbody protection services in Taunton

We tailor every service to your vehicle’s condition and usage.

Rust assessment & removal
We inspect your vehicle on a ramp and remove surface corrosion back to sound metal using mechanical and chemical methods where appropriate.

Rust treatment & stabilisation
Treated areas are stabilised using rust converters or inhibitors to prevent corrosion from returning.

Professional underbody protection
Once prepared, we apply high-quality protective coatings to shield metalwork from moisture, salt and road debris.

Comprehensive underside inspection
We check brake lines, suspension mounting points and vulnerable areas to ensure corrosion hasn’t compromised safety.

Types of underbody protection available

We’ll recommend the most suitable option for your vehicle:

• Wax-based or clear coatings – ideal for moisture resistance while keeping a factory appearance
  
  

• Traditional underseal – durable protection against stone chips and harsh road conditions
  
  

• Cavity wax treatment – injected into box sections and seams for hidden corrosion protection
  
  

Protection can be refreshed periodically, especially after winter driving.
