Topic: KROWN rust proofing: good and bad experience

[WRX_Pilot]

I too have noticed differences in certain Krown locations.  One barely sprayed at all, and my truck remained practically bone dry under the hood, while others do a good job and really saturate the vehicle with oil.

I return to the location in Bolton repeatedly as they always do a good job.

Being in the middle of replacing all front end suspension components such as ball joints, tie rod ends, upper A arms with ball joints and struts on my 1999 Honda CR-V that has been through 11 harsh winters, I am impressed with how Krown made removing all fasteners so easy...not one was rusted/seized on. After breaking each free, they just spun off.

As an added bonus, the whole underside of my car is still 100% rust free including all brake and fuel lines.

Just got it rustproofed today at Krown on St. Clair Ave. E. Car was smoking on the way home and I got the usual honks and shouting "your car is on fire!" LOL

They did a good job as usual.

I have an 83 TransAm. It has no rust notwithstanding winter use in Ontario. The reason it has no rust is because it was rust proofed regularly from new.

Got my 2010 truck done at the Krown location in Bolton; they did a good job and I will go back there.

Krown finally has a dealer in Winnipeg: Frank Motors on Notre Dame Ave.

After 20 years my uncles gas tank and tailgate developed a rust problem. Both were covered by Krown. Two more reasons to start oiling up your hunny!

I'll second the location in Bolton.  I wait until I put on the winter tires and they spray the steel rims, lug nuts too.  Nice.

I had the original application done in Streetsville and they drilled far too many holes in the vehicle from what I have been told.  In Bolton, they will remove the kickplates etc and use existing holes wherever possible.

My wife took her already-rusting 2004 Grand Caravan to Krown yesterday.  Only a minimal number of holes were drilled with two guys working on the van at once.  They gave the vehicle a thorough cleaning afterward.  The price was $124.99 + HST.

IT is my understanding that once RUST STARTS it never sleeps.............so have U bolted the mixed metaphor stabledoor after the ponies have been gelded...... .


   Had Millie treated in 2002 when i bought her ( a 2000 model year) with a similar waxy oil treatment...lots of holes drilled in the wheel arches and door sills trunk lid etc.........in 2010 today she is rust free..only DID it once never fell for the do it every year UP SELL...........and this is Salty Ontario...now was it an excellent Factoryrust protect job by Mazda as they were introducing the Millennia as an Amati Lux Line to combat Lexus....(FAIL)...Hmmm as recent Mazda 3s are rusting!!!! who knows.....or did the ONE SHOT drippy WAX   SEAL THE DEAL...............PREP H is supposed to shrink HOLES too...maybe it would work...........

Krown has the best warrant yin the business!

Choose wisely! your vehicle is worth $1000's of dollars! protect its life!

Wow, talk about SPAM.

Do you care to post the warranty fine print?

1st. spray your car with Krown, and then driving on a dirt road does not benefit anything, nor does it stop dripping, nor doe sit make the product fall off. The product penetrates metal, if you drive through dirt, it will stick to the fwet, but the product is seepin gthrough the metal, the dirt will dry and dust off. Driving through dirt does not make it not drip, the product will move where it has to and then drip off the end of the panel
2. It evaporates off a paved driveway within a week
3. it will stain interlocking brick, possibly concrete, do not park in the garbage for a few days
4. do not wash the underside of your vehicle
5. It drips for a few days, in heat it drips for 2, in cold it doesn't drip at all, unless you park it inside a garage where it is warmer
6. nothing lasts forever, of course you have to re-do it annually!
7. ?Rust check is essentially the same product, but they use chemicals and solvents, we here at Krown are Environmentally Friendly
8. Rust check is very aggressive to the rubber seals on your car

Use Rust Check if you want but we will see you at Krown in 3 years when your car starts to rot out and you realize Rust Check doesn't do anything fo ryou

Krown has the best warrant yin the business!

Rust Check works as well.

Krown also is aggressive on rubber seals . I know this from experience.

Rust Check works as well.

Not according to tests run in our labs.

I see no spam and no solicitation.   If you don't like what he thinks that's fair.
