The only reason to zeibart is the warranty. Even if diy is better it doesn't offer that, or can it?

I have zero faith that Ziebart would ever actually hold up that warranty. 

But as far as their work goes, 7yrs later my truck is not rusting anywhere.  Compared to Brains 08 ram over the summer, his has some significant rust going underneath and body.

how much should i be looking to spend at ziebart eric?

[mr.mindless]

I should DIY my Ram. Too bad there's no lift around to lift it and get under it. bah.

wedge trailer works good for cummins truck inspections as bret and i found out!  even good for short guys!

I paid just over $600 for the "rust protection" for my truck. I probably should've negotiated.

I think $600 is well spent because I can see it a very messy job and not only that, they reapply for free annually for lifetime.

And it's Brett! Ha

This is a good point.


I paid $700 for rust proofing, undercoating, diamond gloss, and alarm w/remote start 7 yrs ago when they had a 2 bay garage on Lyell.  (I also paid $100 bucks for reapplication every year until I went to the Henrietta location that informed me this was a free service )

I would expect $6-700 for rust proofing and undercoating.  Last I knew they had "new car" packages where you could get the whole 9 yards; interior protection, rain X, diamond gloss, undercoat, rust protections, piant chip protection, and probably some other non-sense stuff for like $1000. 

Looking back I would of got the paint chip protection on the hood.  They put some kind of clear protective film on it.  Mine is quite dinged up now.

I believe there is a place called Krown that does rust protection too, I'd check them out too.  I dont know of anywhere else that does it?

I can possibly offer Shea's drive on lift in Honeoye for quick tasks.  Its just gotta be at a time I can be there.

I was getting 7-8 for the first few thousand miles

Left my truck as Ziebart Canidaigua Friday after work for yearly inspection.  They did a real nice job.  It appears they re-coated the whole thing, no over spray anywhere underneath.  No bs sales calls either.  Picked it up Sunday keys locked in, bill for $0.
