Rust & frame repair.
A practical way forward.

Frame rust is a focus at Wits End. We also repair floors, body panels and other rust-damaged areas when the vehicle’s condition makes a repair practical. Bring us the problem. We’ll help you understand the options.

What we repair

Start with the metal.
Consider the whole vehicle.

Frames & mounting areas

Rusted frame sections, body mounts and surrounding chassis metal are a strong fit for our shop. We assess the affected area and the metal around it to determine the repair scope.

Floors & body rust

Our rust work extends beyond frames to floors, rockers, cab corners and body panels. The approach depends on the damage, access and overall condition.

A repair that makes sense

Every vehicle is considered individually. We look at the extent of corrosion, what the work involves and your plans for the vehicle before deciding whether a practical solution is available.

How to get started

Photos first.
A closer look when it matters.

1. Show us the concern

Email clear close-ups and wider photos of the surrounding frame or body. Include the year, make, model, affected areas and what you hope to accomplish.

2. Let’s assess it

Photos help start the conversation. An in-person assessment is ultimately the most helpful way to understand the damage. If photos aren’t possible, call us to arrange a visit.

3. Understand the scope

We’ll discuss whether repair is practical and what it involves. In-person rust assessments are free unless disassembly is needed to prepare a proper quote.

Before you book

Rust repair questions.

Can you quote a rust repair from photos?

Photos are a useful starting point, but they may not show the full extent of corrosion or the condition of surrounding metal. An in-person assessment helps establish the scope; disassembly may be needed to prepare a proper quote.

Is the rust assessment free?

Yes. We do not charge for an in-person rust assessment unless some disassembly is required to prepare a proper quote.

Do you only repair frames?

No. Frames are a strong fit for our shop, but we consider all types of vehicle rust repair when there is a practical solution, including floors and body panels.

Can every rusty vehicle be repaired?

We consider each vehicle case by case. The extent of the damage, the condition of nearby metal and the work required determine whether a repair makes practical sense. Contacting us starts that assessment.
