Auto Rust Technicians

Their «rebuild» of the rear frame on my truck looked good at first glance, but it turned out to be more undercoating than actual frame «rebuild». The work didn’t hold up; I noticed a handling issue, and crawling under it I easily spotted that I had another frame problem which should have been taken care of during the alleged rebuild. The truck had been driven very little since the work was done though many months had passed by.
I had my regular mechanic take a look, and while he noted they’d done a lot of work, once we got to looking at it on the lift the poor workmanship and what I can only characterize as negligence started becoming clear.

I can’t say enough good things about this Company. I have. 2007 Hummer H3 that had surface rust all over the undercarriage. They blasted all the rust away and painted all the surfaces. It looks better than new. Definitely would recommend them to anyone.

I had used them previously and was satisfied until this last dealing. I made an appointment as directed and was told it would be two to three days to finish. I dropped my 1952 Jeep that had not seen rain or any weather element in 40 + years on July 20, 2015.
End of the week I had not heard anything. I called on July 27^th to quote Miguel, «we are in the middle of it, we are making a bracket to attach to the frame call at the end of the week». So I called on Thursday the 30^th to see the progress, «should be done Saturday I will call you, it will cost a little more (went from the original price of 300 to 400 up to 500).
I NEVER heard from them.
So, I personally stopped in on August 7^th to see what was up? I see the Jeep sitting outside in the yard. I go inside to find out the deal.
Miguel comes out and he states to me, «honestly, we haven’t touched it.» I asked, «so you rolled it out and have left it outside this whole time?» He replied yes. Did you even cover it I asked. He said no. I looked inside the body of the jeep, the floors all had surface rust, puddles of water all over the place, the original top from 1952 was shrinking and now has ripped because of their ineptness
I’m fuming so I left in order not to be insulting. Miguel knew I was upset because I didn’t even talk to him. I did call and asked them to not do anything to the vehicle.
Then Jerry the owner leaves a voice mail in an exasperated voice, «hey no one knows how to start this thing, and our guys are getting tired of pushing this thing in and out of the garage and we need to get inside in order to work on it» this is a day after I spoke with Miguel.
Both of them COMPLETELY LIED to me. I still have the voice mail!
I have since talked to other people who have experienced the automatic price increase in the middle of the project.
Unfortunately they are pretty much the only game in Rhode Island and manipulate you with very nice conversation. Out of principle I shipped my vehicle to Revere Mass to be fixed. (It took one day, yes one day!!!
This is my experience in which I have NOT embellished one iota. If your caught in a rock and a hard place and you HAVE to use them I would be VERY SKEPTICAL of them.
They will get nothing but bad press from me after damaging my passion of which I have before and after pics and voicemails to prove it.
Good Luck!

The parts are high quality. The welds are beautiful. The undercoating is very tough and durable. Added bonus, this is a very friendly company! They sell all the parts for DIY, but if you can’t do the work yourself I would highly recommend having them do it. You can’t beat the undercoating service.
My ’97 wrangler’s frame was rotting out in the usual places (rear quarters). I drove up to have these guys save my Jeep. They were able to work with me on a tight deadline. I really appreciated the walkthrough of the shop after I came to pick it up. Getting to shake hands with the guys who actually worked on my Jeep made me feel good about their attitude, customer service and dedication to quality.

These guys saved my Jeep and probably my life. I brought my jeep in for frame repair and some repair on the body where the seat belts are attached. Not only did they do a fantastic job repairing my frame and body under the seats, they also repaired the joint of the roll bar. If I was in an accident before they did the repairs I most likely would have had seatbelt and roll bar failure. Thank you auto rust technicians, you truly are auto rust magicians.

When my 2000 Jeep Wrangler failed state inspection due to a rotted frame (common problem with Jeeps) I thought I’d be stuck selling it for almost nothing even though it has less than 80,000 miles and was otherwise in great shape. The garage that did the inspection recommended Auto Rust Technicians in Cranston.
I drove in for a free estimate and couldn’t believe the amount of rot around where axle and front end attached to the frame. I was given a reasonable estimate and made an appointment for the following week.
When I picked it up a few days later I couldn’t be happier, the frame looks brand new, all of the rotted sections were cut out and replaced with new steel and rustproofed.
It was well worth it. Instead of selling it for almost nothing, I can enjoy it for several more years, sell it or trade it in and get a reasonable price. Every person I met at the shop was great and you can truly tell they appreciate the business. If you have a similar problem I highly recommend Auto Rust Technicians!
