Rust Repair & Panel Replacement

Rocker panels, wheel lips and quarter panels cut out and replaced — not just covered up.

How we handle it

Pittsburgh winters and road salt eat rockers and wheel arches. Plenty of shops only do collision work. We cut out the rot, replace the metal, and refinish it so it matches the rest of the car.

What’s included

  • Rocker panel and sill repair
  • Quarter-panel and wheel-lip replacement (customer-supplied panels welcome — ask)
  • Cutting out rot and welding in new metal
  • Seam sealing, priming and refinish
  • Blending repaired areas into the original paint

Common questions

Can you install a panel I already bought?

One of our customers brought his own replacement quarter panel and we cut out the rust and installed it. Call and tell us what you have.

Is rust repair worth it on my vehicle?

It depends on how far the rot has spread. Bring it by and we’ll put it on the lift and tell you straight.

Customer reviews

From people who brought it in

Rust repair

“This is one of the only places I found that will do rust repair. Other places all they do is collision work. I had a quarter panel wheel lip that was rusted which they cut out and replaced with a replacement panel I bought. Back half of car was painted and blended. Flawless repair!”
