Family-run since 1970
Stop rust before it starts — since 1970
Kitchener's rust-proofing and oil-spraying specialists since 1970. The original two-oil method has protected a quarter-million vehicles — family-run, three generations.
What we do
Rust-proofing & oil spraying done right
Most requested
Oil spraying
A full-vehicle oil spray that neutralizes the winter salt built up inside your doors and panels. Best in spring and summer, when oil soaks into a warm, dry vehicle.
Rust control (rustproofing)
A non-drip sealant for newer vehicles (4 years and under) — engine bay, fenders, hood, doors, rockers, quarter panels and undercarriage. Dries to the touch and won't crack; safe for the car wash right after.
Heavy equipment
We rust-proof and oil-spray heavy equipment too. Call 519-579-3320 and we'll sort out the details.
Our story
Three generations keeping cars from rusting
The Houghton family has run this Kitchener shop for over 50 years. Russ and Jean started it in 1970; Vern bought it in 1980 and invented the two-oil spray process in 1985 after a sleepless night. Diane runs the office and watches the weather (oil won't stick to a wet car), and son James is the third generation in the shop. We spray about 8,000 vehicles a year. As Diane puts it: we're not about cash registers ringing — we just want to keep cars from rusting.
