Wisconsin winters take a toll on vehicles, with road salt accelerating rust and corrosion. Summit Auto Body specializes in rust repair to protect your car’s structural integrity.
We start by removing all rusted metal, then weld in new panels or treat the area with rust inhibitors. For older Milwaukee vehicles—especially those parked near Lake Michigan—this service can add years to your car’s life. We also apply protective coatings to prevent future damage from salt and moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I prevent rust on my car?
Regular car washes (especially in winter) and annual undercarriage inspections help. We offer protective coatings that add extra defense.
Is rust repair covered by insurance?
Usually not—rust is considered wear and tear. However, if rust results from a covered incident (like an accident), parts may be eligible.
